ANDREI: THANKS, TED.

MY GRANDPARENTS WERE ALL HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS.

MY PARENTS GREW UP UNDER COMMUNISM, SO I CANNOT STAND BY WHILE OUR DEMOCRACY FALTERS WHILE THE FREEDOMS ARE DENIED INCLUDING MY WIFE AND MY DOOR'S ABILITY TO CONTROL THEIR OWN BODIES.

BECAUSE OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND PELL GRANTS, WAS ABLE TO GO FROM A KID WHOSE IMMIGRANT PARENTS STRUGGLED TO MAKE END'S MEET TO WORK FOR THEN PRESIDENT CLINTON AND WORK FOR BARACK OBAMA.

I ENLISTED TO SERVE IN THE MILITARY AFTER 9/11 AS ARIZONA ASSIST AND ATTORNEY GENERAL I PROSECUTED BORDER THUGS I TOOK ON THE EXTREME REPUBLICAN AND I BUILT A BUSINESS TO HELP PEOPLE FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE IS EVERYONE IS GOING TO GIVE SIMILAR ANSWERS.

MY SUGGESTION TO YOU, LOOK AT THE TRACK RECORDS.

IGNORE WHAT WE SAY.

I HOPE MY TRACK RECORD IS DESERVING OF YOUR SUPPORT.

TED: ALL RIGHT THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE TURN NOW TO MARLENE GALAN WOODS.

MARLENE: HELLO.

MY TEAM IN IS MARLENE GALAN WOODS.

MY PARENTS CAME TO THIS COUNTY IN THE '60'S FLEEING COMMUNISM.

HAVE LIVED IN ARIZONA MOST OF MY ADULT LIFE, 36 YEARS.

THIS IS WHERE I MET MY HUSBAND, GRANT WOODS, ON A BLIND DATE, AND WHERE WE RAISE OUR FAMILY.

AS A FORMER BROADCAST JOURNALIST, I HAVE HELD THE POWERFUL, ACCOUNTABLE, I HAVE EXPOSED CORRUPTS AND WE HAVE TO DO THE SAME WITH CONGRESSMAN DAVID SCHWEIKERT.

HAS VOTED FOR NATIONAL BAN ON ABORTION AND TO LIMIT CONTRACEPTION.

DAVID SCHWEIKERT IS ELECTION DENIER AND CLIMATE DENIER.

I AM A RUNNING FOR CONGRESS BECAUSE AFTER YEARS OF CHAOS AND DYSFUNCTION WE NED TO SEND A TRUTHFUL FEARLESS LEADER TO CONGRESS.

ATTORNEY GENERAL CHRIS MAYS, FORMER GOVERNOR JANET NAPOLI TAN THE AND NOW I ASK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND YOUR VOTE.

THANK YOU.

TED: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND NOW WE TURN TO DR. ANDREW HORNE.

ANDREW: TED, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME TODAY.

WE NEVER MET.

MY NAME IS ANDREW HORNE.

I AM NOT RELATED TO TOM HORNE.

THAT IS IMPORTANT PART.

AND THE QUESTION IS WHY AM I RUNNING FOR UNITED STATES CONGRESS?

DADDY, THERE IS A SHOOTER HERE.

I WAS AT WORK WHEN I GOT THAT TEXT.

I HAVE TO SAY ITS THE WORST TEXT THAT ANY PARENT CAN GET FROM THEIR CHILD.

MY NAME IS ANDREW HORNE.

I AM A FATHER.

KEMPED ABOUT THE FUTURE FOR MY DAUGHTER ELEANOR INCH WHEN I GREW UP HERE, MY PARENTS DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE CHILDREN GETTING MURDERED BECAUSE OF GUN VIOLENCE.

BUT I DO.

ELEANOR SHOULD BE LEARNING, BUT INSTEAD, HE SH IS CRYING HIGH ARE HIDING IN A CLOSET.

THANKFULLY, ELEANOR WAS SAFE BUT PARENTS AND CHILDREN SHOULD NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS.

I WAS BORN HERE.

I WENT TO A PUBLIC SCHOOL.

ARIZONA STATE.

I AM A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER, ORTHODONTIST, AND MY CORE ISSUES ARE PUBLIC EDUCATION, GUN VIOLENCE, AND WOMEN'S RIGHTS.

TED: ALL RIGHT SIR, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NEXT WE GO TO KURT KROEMER KURT.

HI, EVERYBODY.

THIS IS THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL ELECTION, THAT THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER FACED.

IT IS ABOUT OUR DEMOCRACY.

OUR DEMOCRACIES IN GRAVE PARREL.

IT IS ABOUT REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS.

IT IS ABOUT THE ABILITY FOR EVERYBODY TO SEE AND REALIZE THE AMERICAN DREAM.

BUT FUNDAMENTALLY, THIS ELECTION IS ABOUT OUR VALUES.

DAVID SCHWEIKERT AND HIS ILK WANT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT AMERICA IS IN DECLINE.

THAT IS IN DESPAIR, THAT IT IS PESSIMISTIC, THAT IT IS ANGRY, THAT IT IS FILLED WITH FEAR.

I BELIEVE THE OPPOSITE.

I AM RUNNING FOR CONGRESS BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE BEST DAYS OF AMERICA ARE FORWARD.

I HAVE MEANT BY LIFE AS A PUBLIC SERVANT, THAT IS WHO WE NEED TO SEND TO CONGRESS.

THANKS.

TED: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IT'S TIME NOW FOR CONOR O'CALLAGHAN'S OPENING STATEMENT CONOR: THANK, TED.

MY NAME IS CONOR O'CALLAGHAN.

I AM RUNNING IN THE DISTRICT WHERE I GROUP.

I MOVED TO CD1 WHEN I WAS FOUR YEARS OLD.

THIS DISTRICT AND THE PUBLIC SCHOOL I ATTENDED FROM K THROUGH 12 ALLOWED ME EVERY OPPORTUNITY FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE.

I WAS BORN IN IRELAND AND MY WIFE WAS BORN IN IRAN WHEN SHE WAS JUST TWO YEARS OLD SHE HAD TO FLEE WITH HER FAMILY DURING THAT COUNTRY'S REVOLUTION.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, DEMOCRACY IS NOT SOMETHING WE TAKE FOR GRANTED IN THE O'CALLAGHAN HOUSEHOLD.

GROWING UP HERE.

WOMEN HAD THE RATING TO HAVE AN ABORTION.

WE HAD ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN AND FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE WAS COOL.

I AM SURE ALL REMEMBER REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE.

BUT MAGA EXTREMISTS LIKE DAVID SCHWEIKERT ARE THE REASON WHY WE HAVE GONE BACKWARDS NOT FORWARDS IN THIS DISTRICT.

BY KEEPING HIM IN OFFICE, WE RISK GOING FURTHER BACKWARDS.

I ASK YOU TO PLEASE JOIN ME.

VOTE DONOR O'CALLAGHAN ON JULY3 9:00 AND LET'S GET DAVID SCHWEIKERT OUT IN NOVEMBER.

THANKS.

TED: AND WE WRAP UP OUR OPENING STATEMENTS WITH DR. AMISH SHAH.

I AM SO SORRY.

WOE WRAP UP OUR OPENING STATEMENT WITH DR.AMISH SHAW.

THANKS.

>> I AM EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN.

I HAVE BEEN PRACTICING IN THE ER FOR 20 YEARS SAVING LIVES I WORK IN THE HEART OF THE DISTRICT IN CD1 AT THE MAYO CLINIC.

AM A THREE-TERM MEMBER OF THE ARIZONA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND I HAVE WON THREE ELECTIONS IN A ROW.

THREE STRAIGHT.

MY BIG ISSUES THAT I FOCUS ON OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS IN OFFICE, HEALTH CARE, EDUCATION, DEMOCRACY AND WE HOPEFULLY TALK ABOUT THOSE AS THIS DEBATE GOES ON.

I AM THE ONLY DEMOCRAT ON HE THIS STAGE IN THIS RACE WHO HAS HELD ELECTED OFFICE IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA.

I AM THE ONLY DEMOCRAT WHO KNOCKED ON 18500 DOORS TO MEET THE PEOPLE, BE WITH THEM, LISTEN TO THEM AND TRANSLATE THE CONCERNS TO ACTUAL LEGISLATION.

I PASSED MORE BILLS INTO LAW THAN ANY DEMOCRAT IN THE STATE THAT IS WHY I HAVE MORE ENDORSEMENTS 22 LOCAL DEMOCRATS HERE IN THIS STATE HAVE ENDORSED OUR CAMPAIGN AND I HAVE WON AWARDS FOR THE QUALITY OF SERVICE INCLUDING WOMEN'S HEALTH CHAMPION, LEGISLATIVE FOR PROTECTING WOMEN'S PRODUCTIVE RIGHTS.

>> THANK YOU.

TED: ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL START WITH YOU SINCE I ALMOST MADE A HUGE MISTAKE THERE.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S START WITH YOU AND THE SINGLING ABOUT PEST ISSUE.

I HEARD THINGS TOUCHED ON HERE.

THE SINGLE BIGGEST ISSUE FOR DEMOCRATIC VOTERS AND FOR ALL VOTERS IN CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT ONE.

SO THERE ARE MANY ISSUES THAT ARE ON THE MINDS OF VOTERS.

I WILL GET DOWN TO ONE.

THAT MEANS THE OTHERS WON'T GET ENOUGH TIME.

I WANT TO TALK A THERE LITTLE BIT ABOUT HEALTH CARE AND THE REASON WHY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT IS BECAUSE I HAVE SPENT A LONG TIME IN THE HOSPITAL SETTING ACTUALLY TAKING CARE OF PATIENTS ONE-ON-ONE.

I HAVE ALSO-- I HAVE A MASTER'S IN PUBLIC HEALTH FROM UC BERKELEY WHERE I STUDIED SYSTEMS.

I HAVE BEEN IN THE LEGISLATURE ON THE RANKING DEMOCRAT ON THE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE.

WHAT IS GOING ON IN HEALTH CARE TODAY IS ABOMINABLE.

WHAT WE HAVE A SYSTEM HERE IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT THAT IN THE UNITED STATES WHERE WE PAY MORE PER CAPITA THAN EVERY OTHER COUNTRY ON EARTH MEANING TWICE AS MUCH AS THE NEXT MOST EXPENSIVE COUNTRY AND LEAVE PEOPLE OUT IN THE COLD AND EVEN IF PEOPLE HAVE INSURANCE, WHAT WE ARE SEEING ARE PEOPLE HAVING HASSLES WHEN THEY ARE SICK.

BUREAUCRACY, FACING THESE THINGS.

THIS IS NOT JUST ABSTRACT CONCEPT FOR ME.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS PART OF MY DALLY LIFE.

VOTERS TELL ME THIS ALL THE TIME.

VOTERS TELL ME, LOOK, HEALTH CARE IMPACTS ALL OF US.

THIS DOES INCLUDE THINGS LIKE, WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS.

THIS DOES INCLUDE THINGS LIKE FIREARM RELATED VIOLENCE WHICH AGAIN AS A HEALTH CARE WORKER WE ARE ABLE TO ADDRESS.

EVEN OTHER THINGS SUP AS CLIMATE CHANGE.

SO, SO I WANT TO START BY SAYING THAT IT IS ON THE MINDS OF THE VOTERS AROUND CERTAINLY WANT TO HEAR FROM ME ABOUT IT.

I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT THE WHOLE TIME.

THE SINGLE BIGGEST ISSUE FOR THIS PARTICULAR DIS STRICT?

>> WELL, I CAN SAY, BECAUSE I AM THE ONLY VOTE-- AM THE ONLY CAN DATE HERE THAT KNOCKED ON 12,000 DOORS THIS ELECTION CYCLE.

NO OTHER CANDIDATE HAS KNOCKED ON THAT MANY DOORS, SO I KNOW WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE WORRIED ABOUT.

THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE IS AROUND DEMOCRACY.

AND I WOULD TIE IN AGAIN THE ISSUES AROUND VALUES AND INTEGRITY AND HONOR AND WHEN I TALK TO THE PEOPLE AT THE DOOR, THEY ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR DEMOCRACY.

THEY ARE ALSO VERY CONCERNED ABOUT HOW OUR COUNTRY HAS EVOLVED INTO THE RANCOROUS LANGUAGE AND THE IDEA THAT SOMEHOW DISHONOR IS OK. THAT LYING IS OK. THAT, THAT THIS IS, THIS IS NORMAL.

IT IS NOT.

IN THE VOTERS TELL ME, THIS IS NOT NORMAL.

THIS IS A THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY.

AND SO, BE THAT IN CD1.

THAT IS THE BIGGEST ISSUE AND THEY WANT A CONGRESS TO WILL GO THERE, THAT REPRESENTS THEIR VALUES, AND ALSO THEY KNOW WILL BE HONORABLE, TO THEIR WORD AND THAT IS WHAT I HAVE DONE MY ENTIRE LIFE LEVERING AS A SENIOR EXECUTIVE IN MAJOR NONPROFITS WORKING FOR CONGRESS AND THAT IS WHAT WE NEED BACK IN CONGRESS .

PEOPLE WITH INTEGRITY.

TED: MR.O'CALLAGHAN, THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE IN THE DISTRICT?

>> WELL I AM SURPRISED IT NOT TOT ME WITHOUT ANY WITHIN SAYING ABORTION RIGHTS.

I THINK ABORTION RIGHTS ARE FRONT AND CENTER NATIONALLY.

THINK THEY ARE LITERALLY GOING TO BE FRONT AND SEN HER HERE STATEWIDE.

I SAWN THE PAPER TODAY THE AMENDMENT HAS GATHERED OVER 500,000 SIGNATURES ALREADY.

THEY NEED00 THOUSAND TO GET ON THE BALLOT I KNOW THEY WANT TO GET UP TO 700,000 BY THE TIME THE SIGNATURES ARE DUE IN JULY BURR I THINK WE ARE GOING SEE SOMETHING SUM LAR HAPPEN HERE IN OHIO WHERE ABORTION RIGHTS PASSED OVERWHELMINGLY 57-43 IN A STATE THAT LEANS REPUBLICAN.

SO I THINK ABORTION IS FRONT AND CENTER HERE.

OLD MEN IN WASHINGTON HAVE NO BUSINESS IN A WOMAN'S DOCTOR'S OFFICE OR IN PEOPLE'S BEDROOMS.

IT IS GOING TO PASS OVERWHELMINGLY AND WE NEED TO BE TALKING ABOUT IT AS MUCH AS POS BE.

THE BLIND SPOT FOR US AS DEMOCRATS WE NEED TO BE TALKING ABOUT ABORTION RIGHTS.

ABORTION RIGHTS.

ABORTION RIGHTS.

WE NEED TO BE TALKING ABOUT THE ECONOMY AND THE BORDER.

THOSE ARE BLIND SPOTS AND NOT STRONG IN THOSE WE DO RISK LOSING IN THE GENERAL ELECTION.

TED: THANKS.

DR.HORNE.

NUMBER ONE ISSUE?

>> WHAT DO YOU SEE THE WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO ABOUT IT?

>> YEAH.

SEE THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE BEING PUBLIC EDUCATION.

PUBLIC EDUCATION'S UNDER ATTACK IN ARIZONA.

ACROSS THE NATION.

I THINK IT LEADS INTO A LOT OF WHAT CONOR AND AMISH AND KURT HAVE SAID.

TO HAVE A STRONG DEMOCRACY, YOU NEED A WELL-EDUCATED PUBLIC.

20% OF THE TEACHING POSITIONS UNFILLED.

IN MY DOCTOR'S OFFICES.

IN MY OFFICE, WHEN I AM SPEAKING TO PATIENTS PEOPLE ARE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN'S FUTURE.

EDUCATION IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO THE FUTURE OF THIS DISTRICT.

IF WE WANT GOOD HEALTH CARE.

IF WE WANT WOMEN'S RIGHTS WE HEAD TO BE EDUCATING PEOPLE AND LETTING THEM KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON.

EDUCATION LEADS OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO HAVE A ROBUST ECONOMY IN CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT ONE, EDUCATION, EDUCATION, EDUCATION IS KEY.

TED: ALL RIGHT.

GALAN WOOD, WHAT DO YOU SEE OUT THERE?

>> ABORTION.

AS THE ONLY WOMAN MOTHER ON THIS STAGE.

I AM HERE TO TELL YOU, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT WE PASS LEGISLATION TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY GIRL AND EVERY WOMAN IN THIS COUNTRY REGARDLESS OF ZIP CODE, YES, IT IS GREAT THAT, WE ARE GOING TO PASS ABORTION CARE IN THIS STATE, BUT WE VERY TO MAKE SURE FROM CONGRESS, THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT EVERY GIRL, EVERY WOMAN HAS POWER EVERY OTHER OWN BODY IN THIS COUNTRY.

UM, THE IDEA THAT MY 20-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER HAS LESS RIGHTS THAN I DID GROWING UP IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME.

I WILL TELL YOU THIS -- NO ONE WILL FIGHT LIKE ME FOR ABORTION CARE.

NO ONE.

AND THAT IS WHY THEY HAVE ENDORSED ME.

SO WE MUST, WE MUST DO THIS.

IT IS IMPERATIVE.

YES DEMOCRACY, OF COURSE.

BUT WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WOMEN HAVE POWER OVER THEIR OWN BODIES AND I WILL BE THE FIGHTER THAT WE NEED IN THIS DAY AND AGE.

TED: WHAT DO YOU?

>> WHAT TOP ISSUE THIS DISTRICT?

>> I AGREE ABORTION IS SO CRITICAL.

IF ELECTED TO CONGRESS TO THE FIRST PIECE OF LEGISLATION I AM GOING TO SPONSOR AND COSPONSOR WILL BE ACT TO PUT ROE V. WADE BACK INTO BEING THE LAW OF THE LAND BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE ATTACK ON ABORTION RIGHTS IS PART OF A LARGER ATTACK ON OUR DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM THAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST 40 YEARS.

CHIPPING AWAY AT THE VERY NATURE OF WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL AS AMERICANS.

AND I, IN LISTED TO SERVE IN THE MILITARY AFTER 9/11 I SWORE TO PROTECT OUR COUNTRY AGAINST ALL MINUTES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC T.S THAT THE SAME OATH THAT WHOEVER IS ELECTED TO CONGRESS WOULD TAKE.

THOSE ENEMIES RIGHT NOW OF SYSTEM I HAVE FOREIGN BUT THEY ARE ALSO DOMESTIC.

WE HAVE TO HAVE A MEMBER OF CONGRESS TO WHO IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE TAKING THE REAL STEPS OF TRANSLATING IDEAS INTO ACTION.

WHEN IT COMES TO SOMETHING LIKE APPORTION RIGHTS, WHEN THE DECISION OVERTURNING ROE.

VS WADE WAS HANDED DOWN AND I WAS A BUSINESS LEADER, I TOOK ACTION.

I SAID THAT EVERYONE OF OUR EMPLOYEES AT MY COMPANY WOULD HAVE ACCESSES TO REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS NO MATTER WHAT STATE THEY LIVE IN EVEN IF WE HAVE TO DRIVE THEM OR FLY THEM TO THE STATE OF THEIR BEING ABLE TO HAVE THOSE RIGHTS.

THAT IS THE KIND OF ACTION WE NEED.

THAT IS THE KIND OF REPRESENTATIVE WE NEED IN WASHINGTON.

TED: FOR REBUTTALS I WILL TAKE THE LEAD HERE AND GO INDIVIDUALLY.

DR.HORNE I WANT TO START WITH YOU.

YOU TALKED ABOUT PUBLIC EDUCATION.

YOU WILL BE GOING TO WASHINGTON.

THAT IS YOUR GOAL.

THAT IS YOUR PLAN.

EDUCATION IS HAVE HE MUCH A LOCAL ISSUE AND STATE ISSUE.

WHAT CAN YOU DO IN WASHINGTON?

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IN WASHINGTON?

REGARDING LOCAL PUBLIC EDUCATION?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

SO THAT IS' GREAT GREAT QUESTION.

ONE I GET A LOT.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH OUR PUBLIC EDUCATION.

LOCALLY.

LOCAL CONTROL AND HOW THE MONEY IS SPENT ABSOLUTELY BUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS A LOT OF CONTROL OVER OUR PUBLIC EDUCATION.

THAT MEANS TOP DOWN.

THAT IS OUR K THROUGH 12 AND ALSO THE PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS LIKE ARIZONA STATE, UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA, NORTHERN ARIZONA UNIVERSITY ARE ALL LARGELY FUNDED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVER 1BILLION COMES IN TO ARIZONA FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO SUPPORT THOSE INSTITUTIONS.

TED: ALL RIGHT.

MR.KROEMER.

REGARDING ELECTION INTEGRITY.

REGARDING JUST DEMOCRACY IN GENERAL.

IF YOU WIN THIS PRIMARY, YOU WILL BE ASKING FOR THE VOTES OF EVERYONE IN THIS DISTRICT INCLUDING REPUBLICANS SOME OF WHOM THINK THERE IS, THERE IS TROUBLE.

THERE ARE PROBLEMS REGARDING THE ELECTION.

WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THEM?

>> I THINK YOU START WITH A SIMPLE PREMISE.

YOU START AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF SOMETHING.

WHERE CAN WE AGREE THEN I WILL BE SILLY HERE.

CAN WE AGREE THAT 2 PLUS 2 IS 4.

YES, OF COURSE WE CAN.

CAN WE AGREE THIS.

CAN WE'S AGLEE.

WE CAN FIND AREAS OF AGREEMENT WITH FOLKS THAT MAYBE DON'T AGREE WITH US ON EVERYTHING.

IN THE SPACE AROUND ELECTIONS, THOUGH, FACTS, OUR ARE FACTS.

2 PLUS 2 IS 4.

THEN I THINK DEMOCRATS SOMETIMES WHO ARE CONSTANTLY TRYING TO BE THE FOLKS LIKE LET'S TRY TO FIND THIS AREA OF COMPROMISE.

YOU CANNOT COMPROMISE WITH SOME PEOPLE IF THEY TRULY BELIEVE THAT THE EARTH IS FLAT.

IT IS NOT.

AND I WANT TO GO TO CONGRESS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE FIGHT FOR THESE THINGS.

THAT WE ARGUE FOR THESE THINGS.

TED: DR., EXCUSE ME, DR.SHAW, HEALTH CARE, YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE TO MENTION HEALTH CARE.

HOW DO YOU ENSURE FROM CONGRESS THE BEST ACCESSES TO HEALTH CARE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THE SINGLE PAYER SYSTEM AND THE MEDICARE FOR ALL SYSTEM?

IS THAT SOMETHING YOU WOULD SUPPORT?

>> SO, HEALTH CARE-- YOU TOUCHED ON THE ISSUE WHICH IS ACCESS.

THIS IS ONE OF THE ONLY INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES THE WORLD THAT DOES NOT GIVE PEOPLE UNIVERSAL ACCESS.

YES.

I BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO GET TO UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE.

THERE ARE MANY WAYS OF GET LEG.

SINGLE IS ONE WAY TO GET THERE.

THERE ARE SOME AT THIS TIME AND DRAWBACKS THERE ARE ALSO MULTI PAIR SYSTEMS LIKE IN GERMANY THAT DO COVER EVERYBODY THROUGH A NETWORK T. THESE ARE ALL WONDERFUL WAYS BUT THE BIGGEST IDEA WE HAVE TO GET ACROSS IS COVER EVERYBODY.

AND MAKE SURE, THAT WHEN THEY ARE COVERED THEY ARE COSTS ARE LOW.

AND SO, THESE THINGS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT.

THE OUTCOMES THAT WE HAVE ALSO IN THIS SYSTEM ARE NOT AS GOOD AS THE OTHER COUNTRIES SO THERE IS ARGUMENT FOR FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR EFFICIENCY AND FOR ACCESS ALTOGETHER.

TED: OK. LET'S MOVE TO ABORTION BECAUSE THREE OF THE CAN DAYS MENTIONED ABORTION.

MR.O'CALLAGHAN, WE WILL START WITH YOU.

UM, WAS THE SUPREME COURT WRONG IN SENDING THIS DEBATE AND THIS DECISION TO THE STATES?

AND WHY WAS IT WRONG?

>> YES.

PALESTINIAN AND SIMPLY, YES.

I TRUST WOMEN.

WOMEN SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISION AM THE GOVERNMENT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO PLACE MAKING DECISIONS FOR OTHER POPE.

EFFECTIVE HI WE HAVE PEOPLE TRYING TO PUT THE CHRISTIAN VALUE ON EVERYBODY IN SOCIETY.

AND THAT IS JUST NOT RIGHT.

THIS IS THE MOST HIGHLY PERSONAL DIVISION THIS A WOMAN CAN MAKE AND SHOULD BE MADE BETWEEN HER AND HER FAMILY AND HER SPIRITUAL ADVISERS IF SHE WANTS THEN MOST IMPORTANTLY, WITH HER DOCTOR.

DAVID SCHWEIKERT IS COMPLETELY LONG AND WRONG ON THIS ISSUE.

HE IS SPONSORED THE LIFE AT CONCEPTION ACT SEVERAL TIMES AS RECENTLY AS 2021 WHICH IS PARAMOUNT TO A FEDERAL ABORTION BAN AND RESTRICTED ACCESSES TO IBF.

DAVID SCHWEIKERT AND THE MAGA EXTREMIST CRONIES WILL ABSOLUTELY PASS A FEDERAL ABORTION BAN IF THEY GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO.

THAT IS WHY WE VERY TO FLIP THE SEAT.

TED: MISS GALAN WOODS, THE QUESTION AGAIN IS RETURNING THE DECISIONING TO THE STATES ANY STATE CAN MAKE ANY DECISION IT WANTS.

WAS THE SURE FREEDOM COURT WRONG?

IT IS DETRIMENTAL.

ABSOLUTELY WRONG.

NOW WE ARE, DID HE ARE LEAVING THIS UP TO, UP TO STATES AND LIKELY, AGAIN, HERE IN ARIZONA, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AN ABORTION INITIATIVE THAT WOULD PROTECT THE WOMEN IN THIS STATE.

BUT, YOU CANNOT SAY THAT ABOUT MANY OF THE RED STATES IN THIS COUNTRY.

LOOK.

I GREW UP WITH ROE V. WADE AS MY PROTECTION.

THIS NEVER OCCURRED TO ME.

NEVER OCCURRED TO ME.

LOOK.

I HAD A MISCARRIAGE BETWEEN MY TWO PREGNANCIES.

NEVER OCCURRED TO ME, DURING THAT TIME, THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO HAVE HEALTH CARE.

THAT IS WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

THOSE ARE SOME OF THE PIECES WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE.

WE HAVE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GO TO CONGRESS AND WE FIGHT FOR ALL THE WOMEN IN THIS COUNTRY.

ALL OF HEM.

ALL OF THEM.

TED: AGAIN REGARDING THE SUPREME COURT DECISION.

SOME WOULD SAY, THAT, IF THE STATES AND THOSE RESIDENTS WAN ABORTION RIGHTS IN A CERTAIN WAY, SHAPE OR FORM, THEY GET THEM.

WAS THE SUPREME COURT WRONG IN ALLOWING THAT?

>> YES.

BECAUSE WE HAVE AS A COUNTRY DECIDED ABOUT 160 YEARS AGO, THAT HUMAN RIGHTS ARE NOT LEFT UP TO STATE BY STATE.

THAT CERTAIN HUMAN RIGHTS SUCH AS POM'S ABILITY TO CONTROL THEIR OWN BODY ARE NATIONAL DECISIONS.

AND THAT IS VERY SAME THING WE ARE SEEING HERE.

THE SAME PRINCIPLE.

THIS IS NOT A STATE BY STATE ISSUE THIS IS ABOUT HUMANS.

AND LET'S ALSO BE VERY CLEAR THIS WAS ALL PART OF A KIND OF HACK TRICK BAIT-AND-SWITCH TYPE OF THING AND THEY NEVER WANTED TO BACK THE STATE AND PEOPLE LIKE DAVID SCHWEIKERT WANTED A NATIONAL NO EXCEPTION BAN ON ABORTION AND THEY PUSHED BACK TO THE STATES THEY ARE PUSHING THEIR OWN VISION IN A VERY WRONG DIRECTION.

TED: I WANT TO GET YOU INVOLVE IN THIS AS WELL.

YOU'RE ASSAULT ON THE SUPREME COURT DECISION AND WHAT YOU WOULD DO IN WASHINGTON DO ADDRESS IT?

>> A HUMAN RIGHT IS A HUMAN RIGHT.

IT IS NOT BASED ON WHERE YOU LIVE, THE ZIP CODE YOU ARE AT, IT IS A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT.

AND A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO HAVE CONTROL OVER HER REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH IS A HUMAN RIGHT.

THE SUPREME COURT GOT THIS DRAMATICALLY WRONG.

THEY WENT AGAINST PRECEDENT THE SUPREME COURT RIGHT NOW IS A DANGEROUS GROUP OF PEOPLE.

THEY CONTINUE TO AVIS RATE LIBERTY, INDIVIDUALS, OUR DEMOCRACY, RIGHT NOW, THIS NATION IS IN TROUBLE BECAUSE THAT GROUP OF FOLKS AND IT IS A SMALL GROUP OF FOLKS BUT MAJORITY RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS HOW DEMOCRACY DIES.

THIS IS HOW DEMOCRACY DIES.

THIS IS HOW DEMOCRACY DIE.

TED: DR.HORNE WE HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

WAS IT RIGHT OR WAS IT WRONG?

>> IT WITH AS WRONG.

IT WAS ABSOLUTELY WRONG.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST DECISIONS THAT GOT ME THIS THE RACE.

LIKE I SAID, PUBLIC EDUCATION, GUN SAFETY, WOMEN'S RIGHTS.

I HAVE A TEN-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER AND SHE HAS FEWER RIGHTS THAN HER MOTHER OR GRANDMOTHER HAD.

LIKE EVERYONE ON THE STAGE I THINK AGREES IT WAS WRONG.

IT NEEDS TO CHANGE.

WE NEED TO GET IT BACK.

OUR ARIZONA ABORTION ACT ARE ACCESS BILL THAT WILL BE IN THE BALLOT AND WILL PASS IS A GREAT WORDING IT HAS VERY STRONG LANGUAGE FOR WOMEN AND IT WAS ABSOLUTELY WRONG FOR THE SUPREME COURT TO DO SO.

TED: DR.SHALL?

YES.

THANK.

THE SUPREME COURT WAS WRONG IN WHAT IT DID.

I BELIEVE THAT HEALTH CARE IS RIGHT.

WE KEEP COMING BACK TO HEALTH CARE ON MY QUESTION.

BUT, BUT, BUT I BELIEVE IT IS A RIGHT.

ABORTION IS HEALTH CARE.

SO PEOPLE DESERVE THAT.

I AM STILL PRACTICING MEDICINE.

I TAKE CARE OF WOMEN.

EVERY TIME I GO TO THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, HOB ARE SUFFERING FROM PREGNANCY RELATED COMPLICATION AND THEY GO EARLY IN THE PREGNANCY ALL THE WAY TO THE THIRD TRIMESTER SO THIS AGAIN IS REAL TOLL ME BECAUSE I HAVE TAKEN CARE OF PEOPLE IN THE HARROWING SITUATIONS OVER A 20-YEAR CAREER.

UM, I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT I HAVE TAKEN ACTION ON THIS ISSUE.

BY PERSONALLY GOING DOOR-TO-DOOR AND COLLECTING SIGNATURES FOR THIS MYSELF.

I HAVE PERSONALLY COLLECTED 1,000 SIGNATURES FOR THIS ABORTION PETITION.

I HOPE THAT MY EFFORTS THROUGHOUT THIS CAMPAIGN WILL MOVE THAT FORWARD AND WELL ANSWER AGE TO GET IT ON THE BALLOT AND WIN.

>> ME AND MY CAMPAIGN HAVE DONE THE SAME.

TED: ONE LAST QUESTION HERE AND I WANT TO GO DOWN ON THE LINE.

WE'LL START WITH YOU MR.O'CALLAGHAN.

SHOULD THERE BE A TIME LIMIT FOR ABORTION?

>> DR.HORNE ALLUDED TO THIS THE WAY THE ACCESS AMENDMENT IS WRITTEN IS THE RIGHT STANDARD SO IT DOESN'T NEGOTIATE AROUND WEEKS.

EVERY SITUATION IS DIFFERENT.

EVERY SITUATION IS DIFFERENT.

WHAM THE ABORTION ACCESS AND SAYS IS THAT IT IS A DECISION SOLELY UP TO THE WOMANED HER MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS UP TO THE TIME OF VIOLABILITY AS DETERMINED IN THE SOLE DIGRESSION OF THE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS THIS IS THE RIGHT STANDARD.

I THINK I HE IS EVEN A STEP FURTHER THAN ROWE YOU KNOW, THAT TIMEFRAME GOT SHORT AND SHORTER WITH MEDICAL ADVANCES YEAR BUT I DON'T THINK IT ARE WE SHOULD HAVE THIS DECISION SHOULD BE JUST BETWEEN A WOMAN AND HER DOCTOR PERIOD.

TED: MR.GALAN WOODS.

TIME LIMIT?

IS THERE A TIME LIT MY YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE?

IS VIABILITY OR WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE?

>> ABSOLUTELY NOT.

THE GOVERNMENT-- I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT THIS.

THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO PLACE INSIDE A ROOM WITH A DOCTOR AND HER PATIENT.

PERIOD.

END STOP.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET TOT THIS WEEKS THIS OR THAT.

THAT IS IT.

THE GOVERNMENT WHO FRANKLY CAN'T GET A LOT OF THINGS DONE RIGHT HAS NO PLACE OF ALL THE PLACES INSIDE A DOCTOR HE DOCTOR'S OFFICE.

TED: FOR THOSE WHO DO WANT TO GET TO THE, HOW DO YOU RESPOND?

>> I WOULD RESPOND LIKE TO.

THE GOVERNMENT CAN'T GET ANYTHING DONE RIGHT MOST OF THE TIME LET'S NOT HAVE THEM IN A DOCTOR'S OFFICE.

TED: THERE SHAW, TIME LIT LIMITS, VISIBILITY?

WHAT WORKS?

NO, NO.

NO.

I AGREE WE COLLEAGUES HERE.

YOU CANNOT-- AS I LEARNED FOR THE LAST FIVE YEAR IN THE ARIZONA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT SHOULD NOT BE LEGISLATED.

BECAUSE MEDICAL SCIENCE IS COME PLY IT AD TAKING CARE OF PATIENTS IS COMPLICATED F. NO TWO PATIENTS ARE THE SAME.

THAT IS WHAT YOU LEARN IN MED SCHOOL.

THAT IS WHAT YOU LEARN IN RESIDENCY AND CERTAINLY PRACTICING MEDICINE FOR A LONG TIME.

SO PEOPLE COME IN WITH ALL KINDS OF CASES THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM ONE ANOTHER AND MEDICALLY COMPLICATED I CANNOT GO THROUGH IN THE 5 SECONDS I HAVE LEFT A MEDICAL TEXTBOOK ANSWER OF HOW MANY CONDITIONS REQUIRE THE UNIQUE CARE.

THAT IS WHY WE HAVE THE PEOPLE I LOVE AND TRUST CALLED THE GYNECOLOGIST WHO BY THE WAY ENDORSED THE CAMPAIGN NATIONALLY.

>> DR.HORNE.

>> THE SAME AS THESE GUYS.

THE WAY THAT OUR ARIZONA PETITION IS WRITTEN, IS GREAT, IT LEAVES THAT DECISION BETWEEN THE MOTHER AND HER DOCTOR AND THE FAMILY AND WE CANNOT LEGISLATE TO EVERY EXACT SCENARIO LIKE DR.SHAW SAID.

YOU CANNOT LEGISLATE EVERY SINGLE SITUATION AND SHOULD BE LEFT BETWEEN THE WOMAN HER DOCTOR.

>> YEAH.

SAME THING.

>> SAME POINT OF VIEW ON THIS.

LOOK.

WHEN SOMEBODY, AND I SAY THIS AS A PARENT.

SOMEBODY IS GOING THROUGH MAKING THIS KIND OF VERY DIFFICULT DECISION, IT IS A MOMENT OF CRISIS.

A MOMENT OF HAVING TO MAKE A VERY TOUGH DECISION.

THE LAST THING THEY NEED IS DONALD TRUMP AND DAVID SCHWEIKERT IN THEIR TELLING THEM WHAT THEY SHOULD AND SHOULDN'T ARE BE DOING SOMETHING WHERE POLITICIANS NEED TO STAY OUT OF PEOPLE'S PERSONAL LIVES WHEN I WAS THE CHAIR OF THE STATE DEMOCRATIC PARTY I TOOK ON JAN BREWER WHO WAS PUT IN PLACE THE MOST RESTRICTIVE ABORTION RIGHTS BILL EVER PUT IN PLACE ANYWHERE IN AMERICA.

WE NEED TO HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE FIGHTING THIS BATTLE.

TED: MR.KROEMER LAST WORDS ON THIS.

>> 46% OF CONGRESS IS MADE UP OF LAWYERS.

DO WOE WANT REALLY WANT LAWYERS DECIDING THIS MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE?

THAT IS ABSURD ON THE FACE OF IT.

MY WIFE AND I STRUGGLED TO HAVE A CHILD.

LUCKILY WE FINALLY DID.

THERE IS NOBODY THAT SHOULD BE HAVING ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT ANY OF THIS EX SUSPECT THE WOMAN HER DOCTOR FULL, TOP, THAT IS IT?

TED: NEXT QUESTION.

IT IS THE ECONOMY.

YEAH.

WE'LL GO WITH YOU MISS PHYSICAL ANN WOODS.

2-POINT% INFLATION IN PHOENIX LAST YEAR.

USED TO BE LIKE 16PERCENT A YEAR OR TWO AGO.

OBVIOUSLY, THINGS HAVE EASED OFF A LITTLE BIT.

BUT WHY ARE PRICES STILL SO HIGH?

WHY ARE PRICES STILL SO HIGH IN A STUBBORN FASHION?

>> SO IT THE FIRST THING I WANT TO SAY THAT IS WE NEED TO COMPLIMENT THE AMERICAN WORKER.

LET'S REMEMBER WHERE WE WERE FOUR YEARS AGO.

AT THIS POINT.

WHERE WE COULD GO A GROCERY STORE.

WHERE FOLKS ARE THERE AT THE CASH REGISTER AROUND STOCKING THE SHELFS WITH MASKS ON SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COMPLIMENT THE WORKERS WHO GOT US FROM THERE TO HERE.

YES.

INFLATION IS STILL NOT WHERE WE WANT IT TO BE.

BUT INTEREST RATES ARE DOWN.

WE HAVE GOT A RECESSION THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN?

SO THERE HAVE BEEN GOOD THINGS.

I KNOW THAT HE PEOPLE ARE NOT FEELING IT.

THERE IS A DISCONNECT STILL BETWEEN HOW MUCH PEOPLE ARE BRINGING IN AND HOW MUCH IS LEFT OVER TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE.

WE HAVE TO DO A BETTER JOB AND FRANKLY, DAVID SCHWEIKERT HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO HELP THIS SITUATION.

WHAT DID THEY DO?

THEY RAISED, THEY GIVE A TAX BREAK TO THE WEALTHIEST PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY.

$2TRILLION.

$2TRILLION.

AND THAT IS JUST-- IT IS JUST WRONG.

IT IS MORAL.

WE NEED TO DO BETTER.

WE NEED TO DO BETTER.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT, YEAH, WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON INFLATION AS YOU SAID.

TED: AGAIN, INFLATION IS THERE.

IT IS NOT WHAT IT ONCE WAS BUT IS STILL THERE.

WHAT DO YOU TELL POM I CAN'T BELIEVE PRICES ARE STILL THIS HIGH?

AND WHO MIGHT BE BLAMING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND DEMOCRATS FOR THOSE PRICES?

YEAH.

LOOK.

WE WENT THROUGH A HOPEFULLY ONCE IN A CENTURY PANDEMIC.

THAT INFLUENCED OUR SUPPLY CHAINS AND CREATED THIS INFLATION CRISIS BUT IT DIDN'T HAVE TO BE THIS BAD.

WE HAVE SEEN PRICE-GOUGING AT THE GAS PUMP.

RECORD PROFITS FOR EXXONMOBIL AND SHELL.

THE SAUDI ARABIAN OIL COMPANY HAD THE BIGGEST PROFITS OF ANY COMPANY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD AND DAVID SCHWEIKERT VOTED AGAINST LEGISLATION WOULD HAVE CRACKED DOESN'T ON PRICE-GOUGING AND DID THE SAME THING WHEN IT CAME TO PRIZE GOUGING IN THE GROCERY STORE.

WE SEE THE PRICE WHERE A CARTON OF EGGS IS STILL TODAY.

WE NEED PEOPLE WHO REASONED STAG UP FOR MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES AND NOT FOR CORPORATE SPECIALIST INTERESTING THAT IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MYSELF AND DAVID SCHWEIKERT AND NOT ONLY DID HE VOTE TO CUT TAX ON THE WEALTHY BUT HE ACTUALLY VOTED FOR THE LARGEST TAX INCREASE ON MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

I HAVE A DIFFERENT APPROACH.

WHEN IT WAS MY CHANCE TO PUT MY IDEAS INTO ACTION I DID IT.

DURING THE COVID CRISIS, I TOOK A PAY CUT AS LEADER OF MY COMPANY, SO WE CAN MAKE SURE WE CREATED A JOBS FOR EVERYBODY AND WE GAVE EVERYBODY IN MY COMPANY A 25-DOLLAR MINIMUM WAGE.

SO THAT WE MADE SURE THAT EVERYBODY HAD A LIVING WAGE WE NEED TO BE MAKING SURE WE HAVE MORE MONEY IN PEOPLE'S POCKETS THAT WHAT IS I WILL DO IN WASH TOP.

TED: MR.O'CALLAGHAN, LET'S TALK IN NATION AND WHAT YOU WOULD DO IN WASHINGTON TO ADDRESS WITH A WE ARE SEEING AT THE CHECKOUT STAND INTO SURE, TED.

FIRST OF ALL, DAVID SCHWEIKERT LITERALLY VOTED AGAINST THE IN P ACT.

SO THERE THAT IS.

IF ANYONE WANTS TO HANG THIS ON THE DEMOCRATS ARE JUST MISGUIDED THE STOCK MARKETS AT ALL TIME HIGH.

UNEMPLOYMENTS AT NEAR RECORD LOWS AND HISTORIC LOWS AND SO THE ECONOMY IS DOING WELL.

HOWEVER, THERE IS STILL PERSISTENT INFLUX AND A FEW FACTORS FOR THAT.

ONE IS PRICE-GOUGING.

AND SO, THE BOTTLE NECKS CREATE AS OTHERS WERE MENTIONED IN THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC HAVE BEEN ALLEVIATED BUT PRODUCERS HAVE NOT LOWERED THE PRICES WITH THE BOTTLENECKS BEING RELIEVED SOD NEEDS TO BE TARGET AND EITHER EXECUTIVE OR WITH FEDERAL LEGISLATION SO THAT IS NUMBER ONE.

NUMBER TWO, WE ALSO HAVE TO LOOK AT SORT OF HIDDEN COSTS IF YOU WILL.

SO EVEN PEOPLE'S AFFORDABLE CARE ACT IN PLANS HAVE GONE WAY UP IN COSTS PEOPLE'S AUTO INSURANCE HAS GONE WAY UP IN COSTS.

SO THESE ARE THINGS THAT ARE IMPACTING AMERICANS EVERY DAY AND IN THEIR HOUSEHOLD BUDGETS AT THEIR KITCHEN TABLE CONTINUE WE NEED TO HELP FIGURE THAT OUT BECAUSE YOU KNOW, RECORD UNEMPLOYMENT LOWS YOU KNOW, STOCK MARKET HIGHS, THAT IS ALL WELL AND GOOD BUT PEOPLE NEED TO HAVE AFFORDABLE INSURANCE AND AFFORDABLE FOOD AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT PAYING THEIR BILLS THEN STILL A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE.

.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO BREAK THIS FALSE NARRATIVE.

THIS GETS BACK TO THE OPENING STATEMENT OF ABOUT REPUBLICANS AND DAVID SCHWEIKERT CONSTANTLY SENDING THIS MESS AGE OF DESPAIR AND ANGER AND RESENTMENT IN THE FACTS DON'T BEAR IT OUT.

AND SO, PART OF MY CAMPAIGN IS TO STAND UP AND SAY, THIS IS NOT TRUE.

SO YES, INFLATION IS AT 2.9%.

GUESS WHAT?

THE AVERAGE AMERICAN HAS 1,000 MORE DOLLARS IN THEIR POCKET PURCHASING POWER THAN THEY DID BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.

THE AVERAGE AMERICAN ACTUALLY HAS MORE MONEY TO PURCHASE THINGS TODAY THAN THEY DID BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.

THAT IS A STATEMENT OF FACT.

THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE TO IF GET TO THIS NOTION THAT THE COUNTRY IS ACTUALLY DOING QUITE WELL.

WE HAVE UNEMPLOYMENT BELOW% FOR OVER TWO YEARS.

THAT HAS HAPPENED FOR 50 YEARS.

WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE, THAT HAVE THE JOBS THAT HAVE OPINION CREATED THROUGH THE CHIPS ACT THROUGH THE INFRASTRUCTURE BILL THIS IS ALL HAPPENING BECAUSE OF THE BID IN ADMINISTRATION.

THE COUNTRY CAN MOVE FORWARD.

AND THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO.

TED: DR.SHAW FOR THOSE WHO ARE BUYING X,Y AND Z AND SAYING I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT HIGH?

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE.

WHAT DO YOU TELL THEM?

WELL.

THANK YOU.

I WILL START BY SAYING I DID STUDY CHECKS IN COLLEGE.

APOLOGIZE IF THE ANSWER IS WONKY.

YEAH.

YES THE WAS WORLDWIDE INFLATION.

AND SO, WHILE THERE WAS PERIOD OF INFLATION, PRICES ROSE.

GENTLEMEN YES I HEAR THIS AT THE DOORS PEOPLE ARE TELLING ME THE PRICE OF GAS OR THIS AND THAT IS, IS REALLY HURTING AND HURT AND TO THAT, I WOULD SAY WE NED TO FIND WAYS OF REDUCING COSTS FOR YOU OVERALL.

I HAVE A COUPLE THAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT.

PERHAPS.

HOUSING NUMBER ONE.

IN THE PHOENIX AREA WE HAVE PARTICULARLY SEE, A SUPPLY DEMAND AND IMBALANCE TO THE POINT WHERE RENT AND HOMEOWNERSHIP COSTS ARE SKYROCKETING AND THIS IS WHAT I HEAR.

AT THOSE DOORS IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT WITH FEDERAL POLICY AND HEALTH CARE COSTS WE HAVE GONE ON AND ON ABOUT THAT.

I WANT TO TOUCH THERE.

BUT UNLESS THERE IS A PERIOD OF DEFLATION, WE WILL SEE PRICES EVEN WITH LOWER INFLATION AS ITS NOW.

WE WILL SEE PRICES AT MAYBE PERHAPS A NEW SET POINT SO WE HAVE TO IN ABLE TO LEVEL WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND TELL THEM, OK, LOOK.

HERE IS WHAT WE HAVE.

WE HAVE TO HAVE SOMEBODY THERE WHO IS GOING TO LISTEN TO WHAT ARE THE COSTS ON THE GROUND AND THAT PEOPLE ARE FACING THAT ARE, THAT ARE GOING TO BE REALLY HARD FOR THEM TO DEAL WITH AND FIND WAYS OF EASING THEIR PAIN AND SO, I WOULD SAY, HOUSING AND HEALTHCARE ARE TWO PLACES WHERE THE GOVERNMENT HAS ALREADY MADE A DIFFERENCE JOE BIDEN WITH THE$35 CAP AND PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICING THOSE ARE BIG WAYS TO PRODUCE HOUSEHOLD COST.

WHAT DO YOU TELL PEOPLE IN CD1 WHERE WHY ARE PRICES SO HIGH?

WHY DO THEY CONTINUE TO BE SO HIGH?

WELL, A LOT OF ANSWERS THAT I CAN AGREE ON HERE.

AND I ALSO HAVE BACHELOR'S IN ECONOMIES SO, YEAH.

YEAH.

YEAH.

>> THERE YOU GO.

>> YEAH.

SO IT IS NOT SO GREAT.

THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS ALL APPROXIMATELY THE ECONOMY THAT ARE COMPLICATED WHAT I HEAR IN THE OFFICE WHEN SPEAKING TO PATIENTS WITH THEIR FAMILIES, IT IS THEIR GROCERY BILLS ARE CONTINUE TO GO UP AND THEY ARE STRUGGLING TO PAY FOR EGGS AND MILK AND BREAD THAT IS A REAL ISSUE.

YES, THE STOCK MARKET IS HIGH.

WE ARE IN RECORD HIGHS BUT THE REAL PEOPLE DON'T SEE THIS EFFECT.

THEY ARE NOT BENEFITING FROM THAT SO THAT IS A NONISSUE YOU ONE THINK OF THINGS THAT IS HUGE ISSUE IS HOUSING IN OUR DISTRICT.

IF YOU ARE A TEACHER, WORKING IN THE SCOTTSDALE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT CANNOT AFFORD TO LIB IN YOUR OWN COMMUNITY THAT IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO GET ADDRESS.

ALL RIGHT.

NEXT QUESTION.

WE'LL START WITH YOU.

HOW DO YOU LIMIT GUN VIOLENCE AND HOW DO YOU DO IT WHILE PROTECTING SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS?

>> WELL, I CAN SPEAK TO THIS.

BETTER THAN ANY CANDIDATE HERE.

I WAS THE CEO OF THE AMERICAN RED CROSS FOR ARIZONA NEW MEXICO.

AND EL PASO TEXAS THERE WAS A MASS SHOOTING THERE.

I HELPED TO LEAD THE RESPONSE TO THE MASS SHOOTING IN EL PASO.

SO I HAVE BEEN THERE COMFORTING THE FAMILIES, LITERALLY HOURS AFTER A MASS SHOOTING.

I SEE THE DEVASTATION OF ARE FOR THE FAMILIES AND FOR THE COMMUNITY.

THERE IS ZERO REASON, ZERO REASON, TO HAVE ASSAULT WEAPONS IN THIS COUNTRY.

NONE.

ZERO.

NO DEVELOPED COUNTRY ALLOWS THAT KIND OF MILITARY WEAPONRY WITHIN THEIR SOCIETY.

AND GUESS WHAT?

THE MORE GUNS YOU HAVE, THE MORE GUN DEATHS YOU HAVE.

THAT IS A FACT.

AND SO WHAT WE NEED TO DO, BE WHAT THE COUNTRY CAN DO, WE DID AT THIS TIME BEFORE.

WE HAD ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN.

THAT IS WHAT WE SHOULD FOCUS ON.

ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN.

BACKGROUND CHECKS A FEW OF THE OTHERS, UM, THAT WE HAVE TAKEN TO THE GUN VIOLENCE.

I AM OK IF SOMEBODY HAS A PISTOL IN THEIR HOME FOR SELF-DEFENSE, THAT IS FINE.

BUT IT IS INSANE THAT WE HAVE ASSAULT WEAPONS LIKE THIS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE.

TED: MR.O'CALLAGHAN, IN CONGRESS, ON CAPITOL HILL, HOW WOULD YOU ADDRESS GUN VIOLENCE AND PROTECT SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS?

YEAH, TED, I WAS GROWING UP HERE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL WHEN COLUMBINE HAPPEN AS A SOPHOMORE IN HIGH SCHOOL I REMEMBER WATCHING IT UNFOLD LIVE ON TELEVISION THE CHEMISTRY CLASS.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOMENTS WHERE 9/11 HAD NOT HAPPENED YESTERDAY.

YOU HAD A FEELING LIKE OH MY GOSH, AM WITNESSING SOMETHING THAT IS A ONCE IN A GENERATION THING.

WE ARE GOING TO FIGURE THIS OUT.

WE ARE GOING TO PUT A STOP TO IT, MAKE SURE IT NEVER HAPPENS A GAIN.

WE HAD ASSAULT WEAPONS!

AT THAT TIME INSTEAD OF SOLVING IT AND MAKING SURE IT NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN WE HAVE GONE HARD IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION SO I AM SUPPORTIVE OF SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS BUT PEOPLE'S RIGHT TO BE SAFE IN SCHOOL, AT CHURCH, IN AND MOVIE THEATER, AT A BANK, AT A GROCERY STORE, OUTWEIGHS SOME OF WHAT IS IN THE SECOND AMENDMENT.

THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS THE ONLY PLACE IN THE CONSTITUTION WHERE THE WORDS "WELL REGULATED" ARE USED T. IS THERE SUCH A THING AS RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERSHIP?

I HAVE A TON OF FRIENDS WHO ARE HUNTERS INNOCENT PEOPLE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO OWN GUNS, THEY DON'T NEED TO HAVE WEAPONS OF WAR.

CERTAINLY WEAPONS OF WAR SHOULD BE ABLE TO PURCHASED AS THEY CAN NOW.

YOU AND I CAN GO TO A GUN SHOW HERE IN ARIZONA AWAKED OF$100 BILLS AND WALK OUT WITH ASSAULT RIFLE WITHOUT SHOWING I.D.

THAT IS COMPLETE INSANITY.

THERES A LOT WE CAN DOP TO ADDRESSES THIS FEDERALLY IN WASHINGTON.

>> THE BATTLE AGAINST GUN VIOLENCE IS SOMETHING THAT IS PERSONAL TO ME.

I GREW UP IN APARTMENT BUILDING WHERE IT WAS NOT UNCOMMON TO HEAR THE SOUND OF SHOOTING AND OF GUNS GOING OFF.

I WAS AS STATE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CHAIR ON THE WAY DOWN TO TUCSON TO MEET WITH GABBY GIFFORD THE MORNING OF THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.

WHAT I HAVE DONE IS TO TAKE MY BELIEF AND PUT THEM INTO ACTION.

I SAW IN THE CLINTON WHITE HOUSE, THAT THE ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN WORKED.

AND WE NEED TO PUT IT BACK INTO LAW.

I WAS TEN YEARS THAT WE HELD DOWN THE GROWTH ARE ASSAULT WEAPONS AND HELD DONE THE GROWTH OF THOSE KINDS OF INCIDENTS WE HAVE SEEN A HUGE SPIKE AFTERWARDS.

I WORKED WITH THEN SENATOR BARACK OBAMA TO WRITE CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN THE POLICY PLAN THAT PUT IN PLACE A LOT OF THESE KINDS OF IDEAS BUT HOW WE CAN FIGHT GUN VIOLENCE WHEN I WAS CEO I HELPED BUILD A COMPANY THAT ALLOWED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO DIVERSE THEIR DOLLARS SO WE STOPPED FUNDING THE GUN MANUFACTURERS THE GUN MANUFACTURERS ARE THE ONES WHO ARE IN FINANCING DEBATE AND DRIVING THE POLITICS BY FUNNELING MONEY TO THE NRA SO WE NEED TO TAKE REAL ACTION HERE.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE ON.

BUT WE VERY TO HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO BRING A TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS.

TED: DR.HORNE?

>> YEAH.

GUNS ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO THE PEOPLE HERE IN ARIZONA AND IN ON CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT ONE IT IS PART OF THE LIVELIHOOD OF THE PEOPLE HERE.

THEY TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN THAT BUT THERE ARE CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE MADE WE NEED TO CLOSE THE LOOPHOLES BIKE LIKE CONOR WAS TALKING ABOUT AROUND GUN SHOWS.

WHERE YOU CAN JUST WALK IN AND GET A GUN.

THERE ARE COMMON SENSE SOLUTIONS THAT CAN BE BROUGHT.

I WAS WALKING THE OTHER DAY, I KNOCKED ON A DOOR AND I SAID, WE NEED COMMON SENSE GUN COLLUSION SOLUTIONS WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT.

I OUTLINED THAT SAME SCENARIO WHERE YOU WALK IN AND BAY GUN A NEIGHBOR WITH NO BACKGROUND CHECKS OR ACCOUNTING IN ANYWAY.

I DON'T DO THAT.

EVERY TIME IMAGINE WHERE IT DONE THE SERIAL NUMBER AND THEN WHEN I SELL IT.

I WRITE DOWN WHO I SOLD IT TO AND WHEN AND FOR HOW MUCH MONEY.

THAT WAY THINGS ARE TRACKED THAT IS COMMON SINCE YOU AGREE WITH ME ON THIS ISSUE.

AND HE SAID, YES.

AND I CAN SEE A POINT WHERE WE DO THAT BROADLY AND TALKING ABOUT HERE.

IT IS COMMON SENSE GUN SOLUTIONS AND INVESTING ALSO IN MENTAL HEALTH CARE THAT IS A BIG THING THAT DOES NOT GET TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH.

TED: ALL RIGHT.

MR.GALAN WOODS?

YOU KNOW, I THINK ABOUT THIS 30 YEARS AGO.

GRANT AND I WOULD DROP THE KIDS OFF AT PUBLIC SCHOOL IN TEMPE.

NEVER DID IT OCCUR TO US THAT THEY WERE UNSAFE IN THEIR SCHOOL.

NEVER DID IT OCCUR TOES THAT YOU A SHOOTER WOULD COME IN TON THE SCHOOL.

BUT NOW, UM, MY SMALL GRANDCHILDREN WILL SOON BE DOING SHOOTING DRILLS.

WHERE HAVE WE COME?

WE HAVE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

WE HAD AN ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN.

WE MUST PUT THAT BACK IN.

IT WORKED THEN.

IT WILL WORK AGAIN.

THERE IS NO-- YOU CANNOT GO BUY A GRENADE.

HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY BUY ONE OF THESE WEAPONS?

IT IS NOT MEANT FOR HUNTING.

IT IS MEANT FOR KILLING HUMAN BEINGS.

THEN, AS EVERYONE ELSE WE ALL AGREE ON THE THINGS THAT THAT HAVE TO HAPPEN.

WE HAVE TO CLOSE LOOPHOLES WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE UNSTABLE PEOPLE CANNOT BUY A GUN.

SO MUCH WE CAN DO.

I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH YOU THIS YOU KNOW WHO DOESN'T DO ANYTHING DAVID SCHWEIKERT HE GETS FROM THE NRA.

LET'S GET HIM OUT.

DR.SHAW, LAST WORDS ON THIS.

>> THANK YOU.

THIS TOUCHES ON HEALTH CARE.

THE UNITED STATES IS ALONE AMONG DEVELOPED COUNTRIES WITH REGARD TO THE AMOUNT OF GUN VIOLENCE WE ARE SEEING.

SO WE HAVE POLICIES IN COUNTRY THAT ALLOW PEOPLE ACCESS THAT, BE THAT MAKE THIS SITUATION WHAT IT IS IN.

SO OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE FIREARMS BUT WE HAVE VIOLENCE PROBLEMS.

OF COURSE, I HAVE BEEN EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN FOR 20 YEARS AND OF COURSE, I HAVE DEALT WITH HUNDREDS OF VICTIMS MYSELF.

YES.

THIS IS GRAPHIC.

BLOODY GLOVES BLOODY LIKE HOW MANY DO I HAVE TO SEE PERSONALLY.

HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO GO AND COUNCIL THAT FAMILY?

I HAD TO I DO.

THEN I REMEMBER AS A SENIOR RESIDENT ONE PARTICULAR INCIDENT WHEN I WAS IN THE SOUTH BRONX AND THIS KID WHO HAD GOTTEN OUT BECAUSE I STUDIED HARD AND DONE THE RIGHT THINGS WERE SHOT UP ON THE GANG MEMBERS ON THE DAY OF THE GOING AWAY PARTY.

WAS JUST MOVED ME TO TEARS AND EVERYBODY IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT.

SO THIS IS REAL TO ME.

I HAVE SEEN WHAT BULLET CAN DO TO A HUMAN BODY UP FRONT AND CLOSE TO.

THIS HAS TO STOP.

ONCE IT BECOMES REAL, ONCE THE FEAR BECOMES REAL AS MARLENE MENTIONED AND OTHERS HERE.

IT MOTIVATES US TO ACTION AND TO START TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AND POLICY SO UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS TRAINING REQUIREMENTS AND THE ASSAULT BAN ALL OF THOSE THINGS WILL MAKE A REAM DIFFERENCE ARE IN REDUCING VIE REASONS IN THE COUNTRY.

TED: WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME SO YOU GET 30thS TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION AND GO TO CLOSING STATEMENTS AND I WILL START WITH YOU.

I HEARD A LOT OF AGREEMENT HERE.

I HEARD MORE AGREEMENT IN ALL THE YEARS I HAVE BEEN DOING DEBATES.

WHY SHOULD DEMOCRATIC VOTER SAYS YOU AND NOT THEM.

>> I THINK IT IS TIME THAT WE SEND A DIFFERENT KIND OF PERSON TO CONGRESS.

LIKE I MENTIONED, 3% OF CONGRESS IS MADE UP OF LAIRS AND DOCTORS.

33% OF CONGRESS IS MADE OF DOCTORS.

I SPENT MY LIFE IN PUBLIC SERVICE WORKING FOR THE RED CROSS, MAKE A WISH, I WORKED IN AFRICA TO END GENOCIDES AND MASS ATROCITIES MY LIFE IS PUBLIC SERVICE P. WE NEED MORE PEOPLE IN CONGRESS SERVING THERE FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD.

TED: MR.O'CALLAGHAN, WHY YOU AND NOT THEM?

>> SO, NO ONE IS GOING TO HAVE TO WONDER ABOUT WHO I AM.

I AM A LIFELONG DEMOCRAT.

I GROUP IN THE DISTRICT I AM SEEKING TO REPRESENT CARR THROUGH 12 IN PUBLIC SCHOOLINGS WITH HE ARE RAISING THREE BUTTE.

KIDS ALSO IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.

I SPENT MORE TIME IN THIS DISTRICT THAN ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE LIFE AND DELIVERED THE RIGHT MESSAGE AND HAVE THE TEAM ENTIRE AND PAP RAT US ARE IS AND THE RESOURCES TO GET THIS DONE AND FINALLY DEFEAT DAVID SCHWEIKERT.

>> BECAUSE I HAVE A TRACK RECORD THAT PEOPLE CAN TRUST.

ALONG.

AS I PREDICTED AT BEGINNING OF THIS DEBATE, WE ALL AGREE ON ISSUES.

WE NEED SOMEBODY WHO CAN ACTUALLY DO THE JOB.

YOU ARE HIRING SOMEBODY IN THE RACES TO DO A JOB TO DELIVER FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS DISTRICT.

AND MY BACKGROUND AS I SERVED IN ME TAIL REQUIRE HAVING WORKED FOR PRESIDENT CLINTON AND OBAMA HAVING RUN A BUSINESS AND HAVING SERVED AS THE CHAIR OF THE STATE DEMOCRATIC PERT AND HAVING BEEN A BORDER PROSECUTOR ALLOWS ME NOT TO GO AFTER DAVID SCHWEIKERT BUT THE BIG CHANGE LENGTHS WE ARE FACING.

>> WHY YOU AND NOT THEM?

>> THANKS VERY MUCH.

WE ARE AUDITIONING FOR JOB.

I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO IS LEGISLATED.

HE TALKS ABOUT PUBLIC SERVICE I SPENT MY TIME IN THE LAST SEVEN YEARS DOING PUBLIC SERVICE KNOCKING ON 1500 DOORS TO LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE DOOR BY DOOR AND TRANSLATING THAT INTO LEGISLATION.

THINK THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

DR.HORNE?

>> THE ONLY CANDIDATE BORN AND RAISED FLOOR WITH A MALL BUSINESS RAISING MY FAMILY.

MY EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT IN OUR DISTRICT.

CLEANING UP WHAT IS NOW THE MOUNTAIN PRESERVE.

THAT IS A GREAT PARK.

IT IS ONE OF THE LARGEST CITY PARKS LIKE KURT SAID, DIFFERENT THAN THE NORMAL CANDIDATE FOR THIS OFFICE.

THAT IS WHAT THE DISTRICT NEEDS.

TED: ALL RIGHT.

MISS GALAN WOOD, WHY YOU AND NOT THE OTHERS?

>> THE POTTED TOM LINE HERE IS THAT WE NEED TO BEAT DAVID SCHWEIKERT SO WE HEAD TO THE STRONGEST CANDIDATE TO EMERGE FROM THE PRIMARY.

I AM THE STRONGEST CANDIDATE.

YOU KNOW WHO KNOWS THAT?

REPUBLICANS IN REPUBLICANS HAVE STARTED SPENDING MONEY AGAINST ME IN THE RACES?

WHY?

BECAUSE THEY KNOW I AM DAVID SCHWEIKERT'S WORST NIGHTMARE.

TED: ALL RIGHT CANDIDATE TIME NOW.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE DEBATE AND THE CONVERSATION.

TIME NOW FOR CLOSING STATEMENTS.

AND AGAIN, AGAIN GOING IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER, WE START WITH ANDREI CHERNY: >> HEALTH CARE, IDENTIFYING FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS, REBUILDING THE FREEDOM SHALL FIGHTING CLIMATE CRISIS THESE ARE NOT THE WORDS OF A CAMPAIGN FOR ME.

THEY HAVE BEEN THE WORK OF MY LIFE.

AND THAT IS WHY I AM READY TO GO AFTER DAVID SCHWEIKERT AND DEFEAT HIM BUT ALSO READY TO REPLACE HIM.

REPLACE HIM WITH SOMEBODY WHO CAN ACTUALLY GOT THE JOB DONE.

MY WIFE AND I TELL OUR KIDS THAT ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS I BET YOU LEARNED THE SAME AND WHY GROUPS LOOK THE GROUP LOOK THE GRADE BRADY PACK AGAINST GUN VIOLENCE HAVE LOOKED.

US AND CHOSEN TO TO SUPPORT HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET THE JOB DONE.

HOPE THAT WHAT I BROUGHT TO THIS OVER THE LAST FIVE YEAR IN THE ARIZONA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IS POLICY SUBSTANCE AND I VOTED ON THOUSANDS OF BILL AND MY RECORD IS OUT THERE.
