EVERYONE, WELCOME TO THE ATLANTA PRESS CLUB.

THIS IS THE DEBATE AMONG THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT 10.

LET'S MEET THE CANDIDATES, THEY ARE IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER, TIMOTHY BARR SERVES AS A MEMBER OF THE GEORGIA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

HE IS REPRESENTED BY AN EMPTY PODIUM.

DR. PAUL BROWN IS A POSITION MIKE COLLINS IS IN A PARTICULAR, --ENTREPRENEUR, DAVID CURRY, VERNON JONES IS A FORMER MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND CEO OF DeKALB COUNTY.

MARK McLEAN IS A ENTREPRENEUR, ALAN SIMS IS A VETERAN AND PILOT AND MITCHELL'S ONE IS A VETERAN OF THE MARINE CORPS.

LET'S MEET OUR CANDIDATES.

LEGISLATIVE REPORTER, PART OF THE MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN ATLANTA.

WE ARE GLAD TO HAVE BOTH OF YOU HERE WITH US.

FOR COMPLETE RULES, PLEASE VISIT THE ATLANTA PRESS CLUB WEBSITE.

TO BEGIN, EACH CANDIDATE WILL BE ASKED ONE QUESTION BY ONE PANELIST DID CANDIDATES HAVE 60 SECONDS TO ANSWER EACH QUESTION.

HERE WE GO, YOU GET THE FIRST QUESTION.

THIS TO MITCHELL SWAN.

>> THERE ARE COUNTIES IN DISTRICT 10 LEAD DON'T HAVE BROADBAND INTERNET SERVICE.. IS THERE A RULE FOR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO BRING INTERNET ACCESS TO THIS DISTRICT?

>> WE CAN TAKE MEASURES TO BRING THOSE RURAL COUNTIES HIGH- SPEED INTERNET.

WHEN WE START TO BRING THOSE INFRASTRUCTURE RESOURCES TO INCLUDE RURAL HOSPITALS, YOU GET SPRAWL.

WE ARE SEEING THAT IN MERIDIAN RIGHT NOW.

THERE HAS TO BE A BALANCE BETWEEN TRYING TO KEEP RESOURCES FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO STAY CONNECTED WITH THE GREATER COMMUNITIES BUT BALANCING IT OR THEY DON'T MAKE IT SOMEWHAT ATTRACTIVE, THEY START TO GET DEVELOPED.

>> SENATOR PARRISH, YOUR TURN TO ASK A QUESTION.

>> REDUCING GEORGE'S INCOME TAX FROM 5.7 TO 4.99 OVER SEVEN YEARS AND INCREASING THE STANDARD DEDUCTION.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS MEASURE, AND WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT PROPOSALS THAT WOULD DO AWAY WITH STATE INCOME TAX ALTOGETHER?

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

FOR YEARS, WE HAVE HEARD THAT WE WANT A FAIR TAX OR FLAT TAX AND TO DO AWAY WITH INCOME TAX IS DRASTIC.

I BELIEVE I HAVE TO TAKE A MEASURED APPROACH REDUCING THE TAX.

OUR GEORGIA FAMILIES NEED TO DO AWAY WITH THE GEORGIA INCOME TAX SO GEORGIA FAMILIES HAVE MORE MONEY TO SPEND, TENNESSEE DOES IT, FLORIDA DOES IT, WHY CAN'T GEORGIA?

WE WANT TO HAVE A REVENUE PROBLEM, WE HAD A SPENDING PROBLEM.

WE GOT THE SPENDING UNDER CONTROL, VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

OUR GOVERNMENT IS SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY.

I BELIEVE DOING AWAY WITH STATE INCOME TAX IS THE RIGHT SOLUTION.

>> YOUR QUESTION FOR ALAN SIMS.

>> THE INFRASTRUCTURE LAW PASSED BY PRESIDENT BIDEN LAST YEAR INCLUDED LANGUAGE PRIORITIZING THE BUILDING OF -- PART OF THAT WILL COME THROUGH THIS DISTRICT.

DO YOU HAVE A POSITION ON THE BUILDING OF INTERSTATE 14?

>> THE INTERSTATES OVER TIME HAVE RADICALLY TRANSFORM THE WAY OUR COUNTRY CONDUCTS BUSINESS AND DIRECT DEVELOPMENT.

SOME OF THE PLACES THE INTERSTATE HAS BYPASSED OUR PLACES THAT HAVE DRIED UP OVERTIME, SOME OF THOSE HAVE BEEN REVITALIZED RECENTLY.

I BELIEVE THAT INTERSTATE 14 WILL BE A GOOD THING FOR GEORGIA 10 AND I SUPPORT IT.

>> NEXT QUESTION FOR MARK McMAIN.

>> TELL US WHY YOU SUPPORT TERM LIMITS AND HOW MANY TERMS DO YOU THINK U.S.

EVIDENCE THIS SHOULD SERVE.

>> THAT IS A PERFECT QUESTION FOR ME.

I AM A TERM LIMITS CANDIDATE, I THINK CAREER POLITICIANS ARE DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY.

NOWHERE THAT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS IMAGINE PEOPLE WOULD GO TO WASHINGTON AND MAKE A CAREER OUT OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

16, 18, 20, 40 YEARS.

THAT HAS TO END.

I FEEL THAT IF YOU GO TO WASHINGTON AND YOU WORK HARD, LEGISLATING AND SERVING YOUR CONSTITUENTS, YOU SHOULD BE EXHAUSTED AFTER SIX OR EIGHT YEARS MAXIMUM.

YOU SHOULD BE READY TO HAND THE BATON TO THE NEXT MAN OR WOMAN WHO HAS THE ENERGY TO CONTINUE THE FIGHT.

I THINK THREE TERMS IS MORE THAN ADEQUATE TO GET THE JOB DONE.

IF YOU ARE WORKING HARD.

>> NEXT WE HEAR FROM MIKE COLLINS.

>> YOU STATED YOUR OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED LEGISLATIVE PLAN.

IF ELECTED, WHAT WOULD YOU DO THROUGH CONGRESS OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT?

>> THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.

FIRST OF ALL, LET ME SAY THIS, I AM A BUSINESS PERSON, I AM TOTALLY FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

I LIKE ENTREPRENEURSHIP.

BUT WHAT YOU SAW IN THAT CASE, THIS IS A LOCAL ISSUE, WHAT YOU SAW WAS A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY.

AND YOU HAD A LOT OF LOCAL PEOPLE THAT I SPOKE TO AND I SAW THAT WERE CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON.

THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE AS FAR AS FREE-MARKET, I AM VERY MUCH FOR FREE MARKETS.

I DON'T REALLY AGREE WITH GIVING TAX INCENTIVES TO ENCOURAGE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS.

BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY HURTS THE OTHER LOCAL BUSINESSES THAT ARE ALREADY THERE.

IT GIVES THEM ENOUGH ADVANTAGE COMPETITIVELY TO HIRE PEOPLE.

>> DEPENDING ON WHAT HAPPENS IN NOVEMBER, WHO WOULD YOU SUPPORT FOR THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OR HOUSE MINORITY?

>> I AM AN AMERICAN FIRST CANDIDATE, I WAS ENDORSED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HIM AS SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.

WE CANNOT AFFORD TO WAIT, WE HAVE TO TAKE JOE BIDEN OUT NOW.

I AM ALL FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE I WILL ALSO BE OFFERING ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT TO IMPEACH JOE BIDEN AND HARRIS BECAUSE THEY HAVE FAILED.

LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING AT THE BORDER, NOW THEY ARE PAYING CELL PHONES FOR ILLEGALS.

AND IN THE VETERAN'S APARTMENT, THEY ARE LITERALLY NOT TAKING DOCTORS FROM THE VA AND HAVING THEM GO TO THE BOARD IS TO PROVIDE MEDICAL CARE.

THIS IS AN ISSUE WHERE WE NEED TO IMPEACH PRESIDENT BIDEN,, HARRIS, AND THEN HE CAN ELEVATE TO THE PRESIDENT BEFORE 2024.

WE CAN'T AFFORD TO WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT ELECTION.

>> SENATOR, YOU GET THE FINAL QUESTION FOR PAUL BROUN.

>> WHEN YOU ARE REPRESENTING THE 10th DISTRICT NUMBER YOU VOTED NO ON A LATE-TERM ABORTION BAN IN 2013.

NOW, AS WE ARE WAITING THE U.S. SUPREME COURT TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT ROE V WADE, WHICH COULD EXPLAIN YOUR VOTE IN 2013 AND DO YOU WANT TO SEE ROE V WADE OVERTURNED?

>> WE WAST TESCO MUST OVERTURN ROE V WADE.

I AM A MEDICAL DOCTOR, THE FIRST BILL I INTRODUCED WAS THE HUMAN LIFE ACT WHICH DEFINES LIFE BEGINNING AT FERTILIZATION.

I BELIEVE VERY FIRMLY THAT GOD CANNOT CONTINUE TO BLESS AMERICA UNLESS WE STOP THIS MURDER.

THAT IS THE REASON GEORGIA RIGHT TO LIFE IS ENDORSED BY CANDIDACY.

I AM THE ONLY CANDIDATE HERE TODAY THAT HAS BEEN ENDORSED BY GEORGIA RIGHT TO LIFE.

IT IS THE GREATEST MORAL ISSUE WE FACE AS A NATION.

AS FAR AS THAT BOAT IS CONCERNED, I WAS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL COSPONSORS.

BUT OUR SPEAKER DECIDED HE WANTED TO PLAY POLITICS WITH IT.

AND HE KNEW IT WAS NOT GOING TO PASS THROUGH THE U.S. SENATE.

I AM NOT FOR PLAYING POLITICS WITH THIS ISSUE.

WE HAVE TO STOP AND I WILL TRY VERY HARD TO DO THAT.

>> THAT CONCLUDES THE FIRST ROUND OF THE DEBATE.

THE CANDIDATES WILL NOW ASK A QUESTION TO AN OPPONENT OF THEIR CHOICE.

EACH CANDIDATE WILL HAVE 30 SECONDS TO ASK A QUESTION, THEN 60 SECONDS TO RESPOND AND THE CANDIDATE WHO ASKED A QUESTION WILL HAVE 30 SECONDS FOR ANOTHER.

VERNON JONES, YOU MAY ASK THE FIRST QUESTION.

>> MY COMMENT IS ERECTED TO THE PEOPLE.

YOU WANT SOMEONE THAT WILL FIGHT FOR YOU, SOMEONE THAT WILL STAND UP TO TERM LIMITS, YOU WANT SOMEONE TO GO AND PASS A BUDGET.

WE NEED A BALANCED BUDGET.

WE ALSO NEED TO MAKE SURE WE SECURE OUR BORDERS.

WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS FAILING TO DO THEIR JOB THAT IS WHAT IS CONCERNING TO ME.

ALSO INFLATION, WE HAVE TO GET A HOLD OF INFLATION.

LOOK AT WHAT COSTS AT THE GAS PUMP.

>> PAUL BROUN, YOUR TURN.

>> MY DAUGHTER WORKS FOR A MAJOR CORPORATION, AND AS A YOUNG MOTHER SHE OBJECTS TO THE POLICIES MANDATING COVERED VACCINE AS A CONDITION FOR EMPLOYMENT.

AND I FULLY SUPPORT HER OBJECTION.

I WANT TO ASK EVERY PERSON HERE TO HOLD UP YOUR HAND, WOULD YOU SUPPORT A FEDERAL LAW THAT PROHIBITS CORPORATIONS FROM REQUIRING A MANDATORY VACCINE AS A CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT?

YOUR HANDS.

THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

CONGRESS THINGS THEY NEED TO SOLVE EVERY ISSUE.

THE TRUTH IS THAT IT'S NOT IN THE CONSTITUTION.

IF IT'S NOT IN THE CONSTITUTION, IT IS TO BE DEALT WITH THE STATES AND PEOPLE.

LIMITING FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS ONE OF MY TOP PRIORITIES, IT HAS BEEN.

WE NEED TO ABOLISH --AS FOR VACCINE MANDATES AND OTHER ISSUES, THE BEST SOLUTION COMES FROM THE WISDOM OF OUR FOUNDERS TO DEFER TO THE STATES OR THE PEOPLE.

>> MIKE COLLINS.

YOU ARE UP NEXT.

>> I AM GOING TO ASK AN OPPONENT A QUESTION.

COLONEL SWAN, I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT A BOOK THAT YOU WROTE.

I KNOW YOU ARE A VETERAN AND I APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE.

I THINK YOU STATED YOU STARTED UNDER REAGAN AND FINISHED ON THE TRUNK.

BUT YOU HAVE ALSO HAD SOME THINGS IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE.

I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO TAKE A MINUTE TO EXPLAIN THE TITLE AND THE SUMMARY.

>> THAT WAS VERY GENEROUS.

I WROTE I BOOK CALLED BROKEN ARROW, CHRIST'S LAST DANCE.

I FRAME OUT THAT WE ARE THE LAST CHRISTIAN NATION ON THE PLANET.

THAT CHRISTIAN VALUES BUILT THIS NATION.

IN ORDER FOR US TO STAY GREAT, WE NEED TO RETURN TO THOSE VALUES.

WE ONLY WANT TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN BUT THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN UNTIL WE MAKE AMERICANS GREAT AGAIN.

>> MITCHELL SWAN.

>> I ALSO WANTED TO COMMEND AND THINK COLONEL SIMS FOR YOUR SERVICE.

AND DR. PAUL BROUN.

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, WE DO OUR VETERANS A DEBT OF GRATITUDE.

WE OWE THEM MORE THAN WE COULD REPAY.

THAT IS ONE THING I HAVE ALWAYS HARPED ON, OUR VETERANS DESERVE BETTER AND WE SHOULD DO BETTER.

I HAVE BEEN OUT THERE TALKING AND SPEAKING.

WE SHOULD GIVE THE VETERANS THE HEALTH CARE PLAN THAT CONGRESS AND THEIR STAFF HAVE AND GIVE CONGRESS AND THEIR STAFF VETERANS HEALTH CARE AND WE WILL SEE HOW THAT WORKS OUT.

>> MITCHELL SWAN, YOU ARE UP.

>> MY QUESTION IS ARE PAUL BROUN.

DURING YOUR FIRST TENURE, WE HAD OBAMACARE THE COLLAPSE OF THE BANKING SYSTEMS, NO ONE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

THE EXPANSION OF THE PATRIOT ACT, HIGHER TAXES, SAME-SEX MARRIAGE AND THE REPEAL OF DON'T ASK DON'T TELL HIM A, WHY WOULD WE WANT TO PUT YOU BACK AND GET A SECOND DOSE OF THAT?

>> I DIDN'T DO ALL OF THIS THINGS.

I FOUGHT AGAINST THEM.

I PERSONALLY INTRODUCED AND PASSED MORE SPENDING CUTS INTO LAW THAN ANY OTHER MEMBER OF CONGRESS.

I JOINED WITH OTHER FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS AND WE FORCED JOHN WEINER TO CUT DISCRETIONARY SPENDING BY HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

WE HAVE TO STOP THIS OUT-OF- CONTROL SPENDING, WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS DEBT, IT IS CAUSING INFLATION, WE HAVE GOT TO GET RID OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE.

I WAS VERY EFFECTIVE IN TRYING TO CUT THE SPENDING, STOP ALL THOSE ISSUES THEY TALK ABOUT.

I VOTED AGAINST THEM AND I WILL AGAIN.

OUT OF THIS WHOLE SLATE OF BRING BACK PAUL BROUN IS THE SOLUTION TO GET OUR LAND GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

>> THE WHOLE POINT OF THE QUESTION IS TO SAY WE NEED LEADERSHIP RIGHT NOW.

WE ARE DESPERATE FOR THAT.

STRONGMEN BUILD A STRONG NATIONS.

WHEN PAUL DID NOT HAVE A VOTING RECORD IS WHEN HE FIRST TOOK OFFICE IN THE 10th DISTRICT.

SINCE THE LAST THIS SEAT, HE HAS YET TO BE ELECTED IN ANY OF THE OTHER POSITIONS AND I AM SKEPTICAL WHY WE SHOULD ELECT HIM AGAIN.

>> I'M GOING TO ASK DR. PAUL BROUN A QUESTION.

ONE OF THE FIRST PIECES OF CONTROVERSY --LEGISLATION WOULD BE TERM LIMITS, I BELIEVE IT WOULD GO A LONG WAY TO DISRUPTING DC.

YOU'VE ALREADY SERVED FOUR TERMS.

YOU STATED MANY TIMES THAT YOU WOULD NOT SERVE FOR A TERM LIMITS BILL.

WHY DO YOU BELIEVE THAT CAREER POLITICIANS ARE GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY?

>> THEY ARE NOT GOOD FOR THIS COUNTRY, BUT THE ISSUE IS NOT CAREER POLITICIANS AND THE LIMITED TERMS.

THE PROBLEM IS ON LIMITED GOVERNMENT.

THAT IS BY FAR TO DO WHEN I WAS IN CONGRESS.

THERE WERE TWO DOCUMENTS THAT I UTILIZED IN EVERYTHING I DID, THE U.S. CONSTITUTION, THE BIBLE, AND I WILL DO THAT AGAIN WHEN I GO BACK THERE.

I HAVE BUILT IN TERM LIMITS, I WON'T BE THERE FOR 30 YEARS.

I AM THE ONLY CANDIDATE WHO HAS A PROVEN CONSERVATIVE VOTING RECORD AND VOTING ONLY SOLUTION REALLY TO HEAL OUR LAND.

I AM THE ONE THAT YOU CAN COUNT ON BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE KIND OF CONGRESSMAN I WILL BE BY SEEING THE KIND OF CONGRESSMAN I WAS.

>> THANK YOU.

YOU SAID WHEN YOU ARE UP THERE, YOU INTRODUCED SPENDING CUTS.

THE NATIONAL DEBT IS 33 TRILLION, THE NATIONAL DEBT WHEN YOU TOOK OFFICE WAS 7 TRILLION.

WHEN YOU LEFT IT WAS 17 TRILLION.

I DON'T BELIEVE MY GRANDSON CAN AFFORD ANY MORE OF THOSE SPENDING CUTS.

OUR NATIONAL DEBT WENT UP $10 TRILLION.

>> WE NEED TO CUT SPENDING.

I GUESS THAT'S COMMON CORE MATH.

>> ALAN SIMS.

>> THERE'S A LOT GOING ON RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S UP TO OUR MILITARY FORCES TO BE READY.

I WOULD LIKE TO ASK VERNON JONES'S ASSESSMENT OF OUR MILITARY READINESS AND WHAT YOU PLAN TO DO ABOUT IT?

>> I WANT TO SEND A SHOUT OUT, I AM A BIG SUPPORTER OF THE MILITARY.

MY DAD SERVED IN WORLD WAR II, MY BROTHER SERVED AS WELL.

I HAVE ALWAYS SAID IT VETERANS NEED MORE SUPPORT.

OUR MILITARY IS NOT READY, ESPECIALLY WHEN DEALING WITH AN EXPERIMENT.

WE DON'T HAVE TIME.

THE MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN WANT SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THEY HAVE THEIR BACK WHO IS READY TO FIGHT AND PROPERLY TRAINED.

RIGHT NOW, I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT WE HAVE A WEAK MILITARY.

>> I AGREE WITH YOUR ASSESSMENT, VERNON.

THE MILITARY IS SHOWING DEFICIENCY.

AND THIS IS A BIG CONCERN TO ME AS A 34 YEAR VETERAN AND FORMER PILOT.

WE HAVE COMMANDERS THAT HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN READINESS AND MODERNIZATION FOR THE FUTURE.

OUR FIGHTER PILOTS GET LESS TRAINING PER MONTH THAN THEY DID WHEN I WAS FLYING A FEW YEARS AGO.

I WILL ENSURE READINESS AND INVESTMENT FOR FUTURE FIGHT.

>> THIS IS SHOW AND TELL, YOU CAN TELL BUT DON'T SHOW.

NO PROPS, NO ACCOUTREMENTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

IF WE COULD KEEP THAT TO A MINIMUM, WE WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

MARC McMAIN, YOU GET THE FINAL QUESTION.

>> WE ARE THRILLED THAT YOU LEFT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND MADE THE CONVERSION TO REPUBLICAN.

WE WELCOME YOU.

BUT LIKE A RECOVERING ALCOHOLIC, IT IS A 12 STEP PROCESS.

I DON'T DRINK, BUT YOU ARE STILL ON STEP ONE.

THE SMELL OF LIBERAL WHISKEY IS STILL ON YOUR BREATH.

YOU VOTED AGAINST THE HEARTBEAT BILL.

FOR THOSE OF YOU AT HOME, IF YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN VERNON SPEAK, HE IS AN EXPERT POLITICIAN.

YOUR POPCORN AND WATCH.

WHY WOULD YOU VOTE NO AGAINST THE BILL?

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE COMPLIMENT.

I DIDN'T VOTE AGAINST IT, I VOTED AGAINST A BAD BILL.

LIFE STARTS AT CONCEPTION, NOT AT SIX WEEKS.

THAT'S WHY IF YOU ELECT ME, I WOULD FIGHT TO DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD, YOUR TAX DOLLARS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO PAY FOR ABORTIONS.

IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN.

AS FAR AS A LITMUS TEST, I AM NO DIFFERENT THAN TRUMP, GOVERNOR PERDUE, RONALD REAGAN, ALL OF THOSE WERE DEMOCRATS, THEY DIDN'T GO THROUGH A 12 STEP PROGRAM.

YOU HAVE LIBERALS WHO DON'T WANT REAL CONSERVATIVES IN THE PARTY MOVING THE PARTY FORWARD, BUILDING THE PARTY AND HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE BACK THE COUNTRY.

I WAS ENDORSED BY TRUMP, NOT HIM.

>> I HAVE SAID THE PAST 30 YEARS, BUILDING BUSINESSES, RAISING MY FAMILY, VOLUNTEERING AND SERVING GOD, I AM BLESSED TO HAVE BUILT A REPUTATION THAT PRECEDES ME.

I HAVE BEEN ENDORSED BY 11 SHERIFFS, MAYORS, COMMISSIONERS THAT LIVE IN MY COMMUNITY AND KNOW ME.

VERNON, IT IS YOUR REPRESENTATIVE THAT PRECEDES YOU THAT IS OF GREAT CONCERN TO THOUSANDS OF US.

>> THAT CONCLUDES OUR SECOND ROUND.

FOR THOSE OF YOU JUST JOINING US, WE APPRECIATE HAVING YOU.

THIS IS THE DEBATE BETWEEN REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES FOR THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT NUMBER 10.

WE ARE NOW GOING TO GO BACK TO THE PANEL TO ASK QUESTIONS TO THE CANDIDATE OF THEIR CHOICE.

AS A POINT OF MODERATOR PRIVILEGE, I MAY ALSO ASK QUESTIONS OF THE CANDIDATES AND I WILL DETERMINE WHEN A REBUTTAL IS APPROPRIATE.

YOU ARE FIRST UP TO THE PLATE.

YOU'VE GOT THE QUESTION.

>> MY FIRST QUESTION, IN THE FIRST ROUND YOU SAID THAT CAREER POLITICIANS ARE DESTROYING THE COUNTRY.

AS A BUSINESSMAN, YOU ARE RUNNING FOR OFFICE, IF YOU WIN YOU ARE A POLITICIAN.

>> THE LAST THING IN THE WORLD I WANT TO DO IS RUN FOR OFFICE.

MY YOUNGEST SON JUST GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL, WE WERE GOING TO BE EMPTY-NESTERS.

I HAVE STARTED SEVERAL SUCCESSFUL SMALL BUSINESSES AND MY WIFE AND I WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIFE.

BUT BECAUSE OF CAREER POLITICIANS THAT ARE DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY, THAT ARE DESTROYING OUR ECONOMY, DESTROYING OUR BORDERS AND THE PATH OF DESTRUCTION LEFT BEHIND BY BOTH SIDES, GUYS LIKE ME HAVE TO GET INVOLVED.

I AM AN EXPERT AT CLEANING CRAP UP AND SCRAPING THINGS UP.

CAN I MAKE A COMMENT ON TERM HERE IS MY THOUGHT ON TERM LIMITS.

WE ARE ALL AGAINST CAREER POLITICIANS.

THE ISSUES WE ARE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW DOES NOTHING FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

I AM TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO HAVE AN ABUNDANT LIFE.

20 MONTHS AGO, WE HAD THE STRONGEST ECONOMY AND WE HAVE TURNED OFF 2 MILLION BARRELS OF DOMESTIC OIL PRODUCTION PER DAY, THAT HAS DRIVEN UP THE COST, SUBSEQUENTLY THE COST OF FOOD, TRAVEL ENERGY, EVERYTHING!

DOING TERM LIMITS RIGHT NOW AS A LEAD CONCERN WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP OUR STRUGGLING FAMILIES PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE, MAKE LIFE MORE AFFORDABLE AND GET OUR ECONOMY GOING.

>> I'M GOING TO JUMP IN ON YOU AT THIS POINT, SINCE YOU OPTED TO TAKE THIS ON YOUR OWN VOLITION, EVERYBODY ELSE GETS 15 SECONDS.

I WILL GO RIGHT DOWN THE LINE.

MAKE YOUR POINT IN RELATION TO WHAT HE JUST SAID.

>> I DO BELIEVE IN TERM LIMITS, CAREER POLITICIANS.

BUT LET'S LOOK, IT IS NOT OUR TOP PRIORITY RIGHT NOW.

WE DO HAVE THINGS THAT ARE ON FIRE THAT NEED TO BE PUT OUT AND TERM LIMITS CAN BE PART OF THAT BUT IT DOESN'T NEED TO TAKE A LEAD ROLE.

>> I CAN WALK AND CHEW GUM AT THE SAME TIME, TERM LIMITS HAVE TO BE IMPLEMENT IT.

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN I CAN GET IT DONE.

IF YOU CAN'T GET IT DONE, DO NOT APPLY FOR THIS JOB I WILL GET IT DONE IN SIX OR EIGHT YEARS.

TERM LIMITS AND OTHER THINGS IMPORTANT TO THE COUNTRY.

>> I SUPPORT TERM LIMITS, POLITICIANS SHOULDN'T GO TO WASHINGTON TO WINE, DINE AND DIE.

THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE TERM LIMITS, THEY FAILED ON THAT.

>> I CERTAINLY BELIEVE IN LIMITS, I SIGNED THE PLEDGE.

THE REASON WE HAVE ISSUES IS BECAUSE WE HAVE CAREER POLITICIANS, JOE BIDEN, NANCY PELOSI CHUCK SCHUMER, CAREER POLITICIANS DO NOT CARE ABOUT AMERICA.

>> I HAVE SUPPORTED TERM LIMITS FROM THE DAY I GOT INTO THIS RACE.

SIGNING THE PLEDGE MEANS NOTHING.

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A POLITICIAN AND A STATESMAN.

I WANT TO BE A STATESMAN.

SOMEONE THAT GOES AND SERVES.

THE CAREER POLITICIANS ARE UP THERE, ONCE THEY GET THERE THEIR WHOLE OBJECTIVE IS TO GET REELECTED.

>> I GET MY SENIORITY BACK, I WILL REGAIN THE CHAIRMANSHIP OF THE INVESTIGATION COMMITTEE.

WE MUST NEVER, EVER, EVER ALLOW OUR COUNTRY TO BE SHUT DOWN LIKE IT HAS BEEN WITH COVID.

I WILL MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE THIS EVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

>> SENATOR HARRIS, IT IS YOUR TURN TO ASK A QUESTION.

>> THIS QUESTION IS FOR MR. COLLINS.

NOT UNLIKE OTHER JOBS, THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY HAS BEEN HARD- HIT WITH SHORTAGE OF TRUCK DRIVERS.

AND IT IS AFFECTING AND COMPOUNDING THE SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUE.

GOVERNOR HAS AN EXECUTIVE ORDER IN PLACE RIGHT NOW EXTENDING THE HOURS THAT TRUCKERS CAN BE OUT, EXTENDING THE WEIGHT LIMITS.

DO YOU THINK THIS WILL HELP IN THE SHORT TERM?

IN THE LONG TERM, WHAT CAN WE DO TO ADDRESS THE SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUE.

>> I APPRECIATE THAT QUESTION.

I HAVE SPENT 30 YEARS BUILDING A BUSINESS FROM THE GROUND UP.

THE FIRST THING I HAVE ALWAYS SAID, IF YOU WANT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO, THERE WAS A HEARING IN CONGRESS MONTHS AGO.

INCREASE THE DRIVETIME BY 30 MINUTES AND THAT WOULD ELIMINATE THAT SHORTAGE.

DURING THE PANDEMIC, OUR TRUCK FOR WELL OVER A YEAR.

THE NEW POOL OF DRIVERS WAS NOT THERE ANYMORE.

THAT WILL TAKE A WHILE TO GET THAT FILTERED THROUGH BECAUSE MOST TRUCKING COMPANIES CAN HIRE UNLESS THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE.

THE OTHER THING THAT YOU NEED TO LOOK AT IS TRUE INFRASTRUCTURE BILL.

WE HAD A CRUMMY INFRASTRUCTURE BILL THAT WENT THROUGH AND IT DID NOTHING TO HELP IMPROVE CONGESTION.

ESPECIALLY AROUND ATLANTA.

WHAT IT DID DO WAS HELP FUND GREEN NEW DEALS AND PET PROJECTS FOR THOSE CAREER POLITICIANS.

THAT IS WHAT WE'VE GOT TO ADDRESS.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO RESPOND TO THAT.

I HEAR MIKE COLLINS TALK ABOUT THAT, AND YOUR QUESTION TO HIM.

FIRST OF ALL, HE INHERITED IT FROM HIS FATHER.

HE AND HIS WIFE DID NOT DO THAT.

HE GOT ALMOST $1 MILLION IN LOANS, THEN HE STEPPED RIGHT BACK AND GOT A WAIVER AND INVESTED HALF $1 MILLION ALMOST IN HIS CAMPAIGN.

HE HAS USED TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO LITERALLY FUND HIS PERSONAL ASPIRATIONS AND CAMPAIGN.

TO HEAR HIM TALK ABOUT TRUCKERS WHEN THAT MONEY DIDN'T GO TO THEM.

I KNOW IT'S BEEN A COVER-UP, BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE DISCUSSED.

WHAT DID HE DO WITH THAT MONEY?

>> YOU GET A REBUTTAL.

CMAC FIRST OF ALL, MY WIFE AND I DID START OUR TRUCKING COMPANY.

YOU CAN LOOK IT UP IN THE SECRETARY OF STATE.

SECOND OF ALL, THAT IS JUST A DISGUSTING LIE AND IT DOESN'T DESERVE EVEN A REPLY TO IT.

I'M GOING TO TELL Y'ALL, I HAVE HAD 30 YEARS IN THE CAREER BUSINESS OF BUILDING A BUSINESS AND PROVIDING JOBS FOR PEOPLE IN THE 10th DISTRICT.

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT VERNON JONES.

WHEN HE IS ATTACKING THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY AND HARD- WORKING FAMILIES, HE IS REALLY ATTACKING YOUR FAMILY, YOUR SHARED VALUES AND OUR WORK ETHICS.

HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU, OR YOUR FAMILY.

HE HAS NEVER CREATED A JOB IN HIS LIFE, HE IS A CORRUPT CAREER POLITICIAN AND A DeKALB COUNTY DEMOCRAT.

>> YOU WERE RAISED A DEMOCRAT, YOUR DADDY WAS ELECTED A DEMOCRAT, YOU WERE A LIBERAL, YOU ARE A RINO.

LET THE RECORD SHOW YOU WERE A DEMOCRAT.

NEXT THING, I HAVE CREATED MORE JOBS AND HE HAS AS A CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER.

I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

I CREATED JOBS.

LIKE COLLINS DID NOT ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

HE TOOK A HALF MILLION DOLLARS, ALMOST 1 MILLION IN PPP LOANS, AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE DID?

HE PUT IT IN HIS CAMPAIGN.

HE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED, ONE GOING ON BUT HE IS CORRUPT AS THEY COME.

TRUCKERS DIDN'T GET A PENNY.

>> LET'S GET BACK ON TRACK.

>> I SUPPORT YOUR IDEA AND I GIVE YOU AN AFFIRMATION HERE.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS, YOU STARTED OFF WITH INTELLECTUAL INSINCERITY, SAYING THAT YOU VOTED AGAINST A HEARTBEAT BILL BECAUSE YOU THINK IT DIDN'T GO FAR ENOUGH.

ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE AGAINST TAX REDUCTIONS BECAUSE YOU FEEL THEY DON'T GO FAR ENOUGH?

BECAUSE YOU DON'T THINK IT WENT FAR ENOUGH?

>> I AM THE ONLY ONE UP HERE THAT HAS A RECORD OF CUTTING TAXES.

THE TAX CUT THAT THE STATE JUST PAST, THE LEGISLATURE AND GOVERNMENT GOT THAT IDEA FOR ME.

I HAVE BEEN CAMPAIGNING ON THAT.

I'M SORRY THAT THE YOUNG MAN DOESN'T HAVE A RECORD OF DOING ANYTHING, BUT I VOTED AGAINST THE HEARTBEAT BILL BECAUSE LIFE SIX WEEKS.

IT WAS PANDERING.

THAT IS JUST LIKE JOE BIDEN PANDERING TO BLACK PEOPLE.

I AM SO EXCITED THAT THE SUPREME COURT WILL OVERTURN ROE V WADE.

>> IT IS ALL YOURS, I HAVE TO MOVE ON.

>> I WILL MOVE MY QUESTION TO THE LEFT, DR. BROWN, ON YOUR CAMPAIGN WEBSITE YOU HAVE BEEN IN BALLAST --ENDORSED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF GUN RIGHTS.

ABOUT FIVE REASONS YOU NEED TO OWN A GUN.

DO YOU BELIEVE EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD OWN A GUN?

>> I BELIEVE EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD BE ABLE TO OWN, CARRY AND UTILIZE ANY FIREARM THEY WANT TO, IT IS A GOD-GIVEN RIGHT PROTECTED BY THE SECOND AMENDMENT.

WHEN I WAS IN CONGRESS, I STARTED A CAUCUS CALLED THE SECOND AMENDMENT TASK FORCE.

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR GUN RIGHTS ENDORSED ME, THEY KNOW THAT I WILL FIGHT TO MAKE SURE WE MAINTAIN OUR RIGHTS.

THE SECOND AMENDMENT AND THE FIRST AMENDMENT ARE THE PILLARS OF LIBERTY.

THE SECOND PROTECTS THE FIRST, WE MUST NEVER LOSE EITHER ONE OF THOSE.

I WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS.

I HAVE BEEN A SECOND AMENDMENT AS WELL AS A PRO-LIFE ACTIVIST.

I AM THE ONLY CANDIDATE THAT CAN SAY THAT.

>> GOING BACK TO MR. JONES AS A FORMER DEMOCRATIC STATE REPRESENTATIVE AND CEO, AND LIVING OUTSIDE THE 10th DISTRICT, HOW DO YOU CONVINCE REPUBLICAN VOTERS THAT YOU HAVE THERE BEST INTEREST AT HEART AND THAT YOU RELATE TO ISSUES THEY ARE FACING?

>> AGAIN, I CREATED JOBS, I AM A FARMER, I GREW UP ON A FARM, I UNDERSTAND CULTURE ISSUES AND SMALL BUSINESS.

I AM MUCH MORE IN TOUCH WITH THEIR VALUES, WHEN I WAS AT DeKALB COUNTY I SUPPORTED REPUBLICAN PLANS.

I CAME OUT AS A DEMOCRAT WHEN NOBODY ELSE ON THE STAGE CAME OUT FOR DONALD TRUMP LIKE I DID AND I PUT IT ALL ON THE LINE.

BECAUSE I BELIEVED IN HIM A LOT MORE THAN I DID IN JOE BIDEN.

SO THIS LITMUS TEST, THAT IS FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO COMPARE THEMSELVES TO BENEFIT REPUBLICANS.

YOU MAY CALL ME A DINO BUT YOU WILL NEVER CALL ME A RINO.

I AM A SOLID, THAT IS WHY PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS ENDORSED ME OVER EVERYBODY ELSE.

BECAUSE HE KNOWS I BELIEVE AND I SUPPORT THE AMERICAN FIRST AGENDA.

>> WE HAVE DEMOCRATS IN NO CEO HAS EVER TREATED JOBS.

SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS CREATE JOBS.

NO BUREAUCRAT WILL CREATE A JOB.

>> YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT.

WHEN WE PASSED CLOSE BOND INITIATIVES CREATING INFRASTRUCTURE, WE PUT PEOPLE TO WORK.

WHO RECRUITED PEPSI-COLA TO COME OUT TO STONE MOUNTAIN?

I WORKED WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, MY RECORD IS THERE.

YOU JUST DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT.

MANY OF THOSE GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS IF THEY ARE USED RIGHT, THEY DO CREATE JOBS.

>> MY QUESTION IS FOR COLONEL SIMS.

DO YOU FEEL THIS CANDIDATE CHOICE WILL BE MORE DIVERSE?

IT DOESN'T REPRESENT THE ENTIRETY OF DISTRICT 10.

I THINK THE DIVERSITY WILL BE IN NOVEMBER WHEN WE HAVE A REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE AGAINST THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.

WE HAVE A POOL OF CANDIDATES THAT DO REFLECT THE VALUES OF THE CONSERVATIVES WITHIN THE 10th DISTRICT.

>> IT WOULD'VE BEEN NICE TO HAVE A WOMAN.

>> MAYBE THE QUESTION TO DOVETAIL OUT OF THAT IS THIS, THAT ALL OF YOU POLITICALLY ARE IN THE SAME ZIP CODE IN TERMS OF WHAT YOU BELIEVE AND WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO ACCOMPLISH.

WHAT DIFFERENTIATES YOU FROM THE OTHER CANDIDATES?

I THINK WE WILL GO RIGHT DOWN THE LINE.

WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT FROM THOSE YOU ARE STANDING NEXT TO?

>> I HAVE THE PROVEN CONSERVATIVE, CHRISTIAN, CONSTITUTIONAL VOTING RECORD.

FIGHTING AGAINST THIS OUT-OF- CONTROL SPENDING.

I VOTED AGAINST THAT WHEN I WAS THERE, I WILL VOTE AGAINST IT AGAIN.

I WILL GET MY SENIORITY BACK.

I WILL BE ABLE TO CHAIR THE SCIENCE INVESTIGATION COMMITTEE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW THE TRUTH.

>> WE WILL HAVE TO MOVE ON.

NO LONG SPEECHES, NOTHING LONG- WINDED.

A COMMON SENSE APPROACH TO WHAT YOU WILL REPRESENT AS AN INDIVIDUAL.

>> I THOUGHT IT WAS WHAT MADE US DIFFERENT.

I WAS WITH DONALD TRUMP WAY BEFORE HE WAS EVEN NOMINATED, I HAVE NEVER BEEN ELECTED ANYTHING ELSE, I HAVE BEEN IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR FOR OVER 30 YEARS IN THE MOST REGULATED INDUSTRY THERE IS IN THIS COUNTRY.

THAT ALONE GIVES ME A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE FROM EVERYTHING.

>> MOVING TO A CAMPER, LIVING IN A HOTEL, I WENT TO TRADE DAVID CURRY ANYTHING BUT AN OPPORTUNITY.

WE BUILD BUSINESSES, AS YOUR REVENUE COMMISSIONER WE CUT THE BUDGET $29 MILLION, NO ONE IS HUNGRIER TO SERVE YOU AS YOUR NEXT CONGRESSMAN.

>> A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THEY ARE WITH TRUMP, I HAVE BEEN A CHIEF EXECUTIVE, I HAVE MORE LEGISLATIVE EXPERIENCE, I HAVE AN A RECORD FROM THE NRA.

I HAVE ALSO BEEN A FARMER, ALSO BEEN SELF-EMPLOYED AND UNEMPLOYED.

LET ME TELL YOU, NONE OF THEM HAVE DONE ANYTHING TO RECRUIT MINORITY CONSERVATIVES LIKE I HAVE.

>> ON THE JOURNEY I HAVE TAKEN TO HAVING STARTED SEVERAL SUCCESSFUL SMALL BUSINESSES HAS PREPARED ME FOR WASHINGTON.

I AM A LEADER, TENACIOUS WORKER, PHYSICALLY RESPONSIBLE AND CHRIST IS MY COMPASS.

WE DO NOT NEED MORE EXPERT POLITICIANS, WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF OUR LOVE AFFAIR.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> WE NEED SOMEBODY THAT CAN WORK COLLABORATIVELY AND BUILD CONSENSUS.

WE NEED SOMEBODY WHO CAN MOVE THINGS FORWARD FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

IN ISRAEL, I GOT THE ISRAELIS AND PALESTINIANS TO AGREE.

>> I AM A 30 YEAR MARINE CORPS COLONEL.

I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING FOR THIS COUNTRY BEFORE THE FIRST GULF WAR.

I DEPLOYED FOR SIX YEARS SINCE 9/11.

DURING THAT TIME, I HAD TWO GREAT EXPERIENCES.

CRAFTING U.S. POLICY IN THE MIDDLE EAST FOR GENERAL MATTERS, I RAN OPERATIONS IN THE PACIFIC.

WE HAVE SOME GEOPOLITICAL PROBLEMS RIGHT NOW THAT WE HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED, LIKE RUSSIA PARTNERING WITH CHINA.

THAT'S GOING TO BE A SERIOUS ISSUE.

>> I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO COLONEL SIMS.

AS AN INTERNATIONAL PILOT FOR DELTA, IN RECENT YEARS, AND RECENT REPORTS THE U.S. WILL LOSE ABOUT HALF OF ITS PILOTS IN THE NEXT 15 YEARS.

WITH A DAUGHTER ON HER WAY TO BECOMING A PILOT, I KNOW THE HURDLES PERSONALLY THAT THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH NOT JUST WITH THE FAA BUT WITH TRAINING.

WHAT RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD YOU HAVE IF ELECTED TO THE FAA THAT COULD INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PILOTS?

>> I THINK THE FAA STANDARDS ARE GOOD AND THEY HAVE PROVEN TO KEEP US SAFE.

THE BAND WILL COME THROUGH THE CORPORATIONS, THE AIRLINES INVESTING IN TRAINING AND STARTING PIPELINES FOR YOUNG PILOTS TO BE NURTURED AND BROUGHT INTO IT.

THE MILITARY DOESN'T PRODUCE AS MANY PILOTS AS WE NEED RIGHT NOW.

INDUSTRY WILL HAVE TO FILL THAT VACUUM.

>> WHEN I OVERSAW THE AIRPORT, THERE WAS A VERY INTENSIVE PROGRAM WHERE WE WERE TRAINING YOUNG PEOPLE, GETTING THEM TO GET THERE PILOT LICENSE, GOING INTO COMMERCIAL AIRLINES.

WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRAIN AND GET GOOD PEOPLE IN PLACE.

>> CAN I COMMENT AS WELL?

I HAVE A COMMERCIAL INSTRUMENT PILOT LICENSE.

I QUESTION PEOPLE ALL THE TIME, HOW IN THE WORLD CAN A YOUNG PERSON GET AN AIRLINE TRANSPORT LICENSE?

IT'S SO EXPENSIVE.

THE INDUSTRY NEEDS TO COME TO THE PLATE AND START TRAINING YOUNG PEOPLE TO BE PILOTS SO THAT HER OUR LOVELY QUESTIONER, HER DAUGHTER CAN AFFORD TO BE THE PILOT SHE WANTS TO BE.

>> I WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT, WE HAVE A SHORTAGE OF PILOTS RIGHT NOW.

IT IS A CONCERN.

THE BIGGEST CONCERN I HAVE ABOUT SHORTAGES IS IN THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, AND POLICE DEPARTMENT.

WE HAVE DISTRICTS AND COUNTIES RIGHT NOW DOWN 30 OR 40 OFFICERS THAT THEY CAN'T STAFF BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE THE JOB.

BECAUSE OF PAY AND HOW WE HAVE AWFULLY TREATED OUR FIRST RESPONDERS AND POLICE FORCES.

I THINK WHAT WE HAVE TO DO TO MAKE THIS A MORE PRODUCTIVE DEBATE IS TALK ABOUT OUR COMMUNITIES, HOW DO WE MAKE THEM SAFER AND SOLVE THAT SHORTAGE BEFORE I START GETTING CONCERNED ABOUT PILOTS?

>> WE ARE ALL DOING THIS.

HOW ABOUT WE TALK ABOUT LAW ENFORCEMENT.

COLONEL SIMS, IT IS AN AGENT POPULATION.

IT IS NOT JUST IN THE AIRLINE PILOTS, IT IS ALSO TRACKING AS WELL.

AND A LOT OF THE REASON FOR THAT IS NO ONE WANTS TO GET INTO THESE BUSINESSES WHERE THEY ARE UNDER SUCH SCRUTINY AND RELIABILITY.

IT IS A DISCOURAGEMENT.

WE HAVE ENCOURAGED SO MANY PEOPLE TO GO TO COLLEGE TO GET DEGREES THAT WE DON'T ACTUALLY PUSHED THE JOBS THAT ARE GREAT PAYING JOBS THAT OFFER GREAT BENEFITS.

WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS GET THE GOVERNMENT OFF OUR BACKS.

THEY JUST PASSED ANOTHER REGULATION THAT WILL MAKE IT EVEN HARDER TO GET COMMERCIAL DRIVERS LICENSE.

>> IN AGREEMENT WITH MR. COLLINS, SOMEONE GOING TO SCHOOL OR GOING TO TRADE SCHOOL, WE NEED TO MAKE IT WHERE IT IS NOT AN EMBARRASSMENT TO GO TO TRADE SCHOOL.

WE DESPERATELY NEED WELDERS IT IS ACROSS ALL TRADES.

WE HAVE TO DO A BETTER JOB OF GIVING OUR YOUNG PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET A SKILL SET THEY CAN MAKE A LIVING.

>> LAST QUESTION HERE.

>> IN REGARDS TO LAW ENFORCEMENT, WHAT DO YOU THINK CONGRESS NEEDS TO DO ABOUT ALL OF THAT?

>> RIGHT NOW, THEY GET SOFT ON CRIME, THEY PASS THESE NO CHASE POLICIES, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO CATCH HIM?

THE BIGGEST THING TO HELP WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT IS TO GIVE THEM PENSIONS, THEY GET SO THEY CAN GO FROM ONE JURISDICTION TO ANOTHER AND NOT LOSE IT.

AND DON'T JUST GIVE THEM A STIMULUS CHECK, WHAT CAN YOU DO TO SUPPORT THEM WITHIN WHERE THEY ARE NOT WORRIED ABOUT BEING INDICTED OR LOSING THEIR JOBS BECAUSE THEY ENFORCED THE LAW.

WE HAVE TO SUPPORT THEM.

BUT PENSIONS IS A BIG THING.

AND PORTABLE PENSIONS, WHERE THEY CAN GO FROM ONE JURISDICTION TO ANOTHER.

THAT PENSION LASTS FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.

>> I THINK EVERYBODY GETS ABOUT 15 SECONDS.

>> WE HAVE TO LEAVE MONEY HERE IN GEORGIA, THAT'S WHAT I FOUGHT FOR.

WE NEED TO LEAVE MONEY IN THE LOCAL JURISDICTION.

>> WE HAVE A NATIONAL MEDIA THAT IS THE LIBERAL AND HAVE DECIMATED THE POLICE.

WE NEED TO FUND THEM AND STAND BEHIND THEM.

>> PART OF THE PROBLEM WE HAVE WAS DEFUND THE POLICE MOVEMENT.

THE DEMOCRATS BROUGHT THAT IDEA UP.

THEY TRIED TO LAY IT OFF.

WE NEED TO BE ENCOURAGING YOUNG PEOPLE TO GIVE THEM THE RESOURCES THEY NEED, POLICE DEPARTMENTS, AND BE SAFE.

>> THE FUTURE GENERATION DOESN'T EXIST.

CURRENT POLICE OFFICERS WHEN THEY ARE ASKED IF THEY WANT THEIR CHILDREN TO BE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, THEY NO LONGER WANT THEM TO BE INVOLVED.

IT USED TO BE A LEGACY.

I AM PROPOSING A HALO BILL, IT GIVES OFFICERS DETECTION SO PEOPLE CANNOT APPROACH THEM IN A THREATENING MANNER AND WHAT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT, LET'S CUT THE STATE INCOME TAX FOR ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS.

>> LET'S FINISH WITH TWO MORE STATEMENTS.

>> WE HAVE TO RESTORE RESPECT IN THE POLICE THAT HAVE BEEN DRIVEN DOWN FOR OUR MEDIA, WHICH IS ALREADY BEEN STATED.

WE DON'T TEACH THE HISTORY OF OUR NATION IN A WAY THAT FITS THE POLICE AND THEY HAVE BEEN SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR LAW-ABIDING CULTURE.

THAT NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT AND RESTORED.

>> IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT RAISING SALARIES, IT IS ABOUT RAISING DIGNITY.

IN 1975, WE COULDN'T RECRUIT INTO THE ARMED FORCES BECAUSE THE IMAGE OF BEING BABY KILLERS.

NO ONE WANTED TO JOIN.

IT WAS RONALD REAGAN, HE CHANGED THE TONE AND MADE IT A NOBLE PROFESSION.

ONCE WE START TREATING THEM LIKE THAT, THEY WILL RETURN.

>> THAT IS ALL THE TIME WE HAVE FOR QUESTIONS, AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE ALONG.

EACH CANDIDATE NOW WILL HAVE 60 SECONDS FOR A CLOSING STATEMENT.

YOU CAN'T GO BEYOND THAT.

DR. BROUN.

>> THE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY WON'T BE ENOUGH TO SAVE AMERICA.

WASHINGTON ISN'T NOTORIOUS -- IS NOTORIOUS FOR TURNING OUTSIDERS INTO INSIDERS.

I WAS IN THE SWAMP, BUT I NEVER GOT SLIMY.

DIDN'T CAVE.

NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

I WILL FIGHT EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY FOR CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES.

IF REELECTED, I WILL GO BACK WITH 7 1/2 YEARS SENIORITY.

WITH MY MEDICAL EXPERTISE, I WILL BE IN PRIME POSITION TO ONCE AGAIN CHAIR THE SCIENCE INVESTIGATION COMMITTEE AND LAUNCH A DEEP DIVE INVESTIGATION INTO DR. FAUCI AND COVID SO AMERICANS KNOW THE CRUISE --TRUTH.

WE MUST NEVER SHOT OUR ECONOMY DOWN.

SINCE I WILL NOT BE A FRESHMAN AND I WILL BE BACK IN LEADERSHIP, I AM THE ONLY CANDIDATE WHO CAN GO TO WORK IMMEDIATELY TO SERVE AMERICA.

IF YOU WANT TO RESTORE THE REPUBLIC, YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

BRING BACK BROUN.

>> MITCHELL SWAN, YOUR CLOSING STATEMENT PLEASE.

>> WE LIVE IN AN ABSOLUTELY EXCEPTIONAL COUNTRY THAT IS UNEXCEPTIONAL PEOPLE.

WE HAVE THE WORLD'S GREATEST CONSTITUTION, THE FREEST MARKETS, THE FAIREST JUDICIAL SYSTEM BUT THOSE INSTITUTIONS ARE BEING CORRUPTED AND RUINED BY CORRUPT AND SELFISH POLITICIANS.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN ONCE SAID TO PUT FORTH BENEFITS FOR THE COMMON GOOD ISN'T DIVINE.

RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE NO ONE IN DC LOOKING AFTER OUR COMMON GOOD.

TWO OF THE QUESTIONS TONIGHT ADJUST THE COMMON GOOD.

I WANT EVERYONE TO HAVE AN ABUNDANT LIFE.

WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR PEOPLE THAT JUST VOTE WELL, WE NEED CONSERVATIVE LEADERS IN WASHINGTON.

I NEED PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON THAT THAT HAPPENS ONCE IN A WHILE.

WE NEED CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP.

WE NEED MATURE STATESMEN AGAIN UP IN WASHINGTON.

NOT IMMATURE YOUNG MEN HAVING BATTLES ON THE INTERNET.

YOU WANT TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY GREAT AGAIN, WE NEED TO GET STRONG LEADERS BACK IN WASHINGTON.

THE 2022 WAVE BEGINS THIS MONTH.

PLEASE CONSIDER ME AS A VOTE.

>> MARC McMAIN, IF YOU WOULD GIVE US YOUR CLOSING STATEMENT.

>> I AM MARRIED TO MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE, WE HAVE TWO BOYS WHO ARE NOW IN COLLEGE PURSUING THEIR DREAM.

WE HAD THE GOLDEN YEARS IN FRONT OF US, EXCITED TO GET INVOLVED BECAUSE WE NEED AN OUTSIDER IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

I AM THE LAST OUTSIDER LEFT IN THIS RACE.

THE JOURNEY I HAVE TAKEN FROM BEING BROKE TO HAVING STARTED SEVERAL SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSES HAS MORE THAN PREPARED ME.

WE DON'T NEED MORE EXPERIENCE POLITICIANS.

WE HAVE PLENTY OF THOSE.

WE HAVE BEEN RUNNING THAT EXPERIENCE FOR DECADES AND IT'S NOT WORKING.

DONALD TRUMP PROVED THAT THE OUTSIDER MENTALITY IS WHAT IS NEEDED AND WHAT IS EFFECTIVE IN WASHINGTON.

IF YOU ELECT ME TO BE YOUR NEXT REPRESENTATIVE, I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN, I WILL GET TERM LIMITS PAST, WE WILL PROTECT OUR BORDERS, AND WE WILL MOVE OUR DISTRICT, OUR STATE AND NATION FORWARD.

I AM MARC McMAIN, I SPELL MY FIRST NAME WITH A C, I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR VOTE.

>> VERNON JONES, IT IS YOUR TIME.

>> I WANT TO THANK ATLANTA PRESS CLUB AND ALL THOSE FROM THE DISTRICT.

MY PARENTS TAUGHT ME THE IMPORTANCE OF HARD WORK, FAITH- BASED AND QUALITY EDUCATION.

I AM PRO-LIFE, I AM PRO-GUN, I AM PRO FAMILY AND CERTAINLY PRO- SMALL BUSINESS.

PRESIDENT TRUMP TALK TO ME ABOUT RUNNING FOR WASHINGTON, AND I ACCEPTED THAT CHALLENGE.

BECAUSE WE BOTH KNOW THAT JOE BIDEN HAS DESTROYED THIS COUNTRY.

AND, HARRIS IS RIGHT BEHIND HIM.

I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU.

I WILL FIGHT TO ABOLISH, I WILL FIGHT TO BRING TERM LIMITS, I WILL FIGHT INFLATION.

WE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH OUR INFLATION.

I WILL FIGHT TO SECURE OUR BORDERS.

LOOK AT ME, I'VE GOT MORE HITS TO THE LIBERAL MEDIA THAN ANYBODY BECAUSE I AM TRUMP TESTED, ENDORSED AND IF YOU ELECT ME, I WILL GO AHEAD WITH AMERICA FIRST AGENDA AND MAKE THE 10th DISTRICT GREAT AGAIN.

>> DAVID CURRY.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.

I HEARD ONE CONSISTENT THING, EVERYONE LOVED PRESIDENT TRUMP'S POLICIES.

THEY LEFT HIS POLICIES.

HE GOT OUR COUNTRY BACK ON TRACK IN A TIME WE NEEDED IT.

BUT OUR COUNTRY IS FACING SERIOUS ISSUES TODAY.

JOE BIDEN AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY.

FRIENDS, LOOK AT CHUCK SCHUMER, HE EVEN SAID IT.

GIVE ME GEORGIA AND WE CHANGE THE FABRIC OF AMERICA.

THEY ARE DOING JUST THAT.

THAT'S WHY WE ARE RUNNING FOR CONGRESS, TO FIX THIS MESS CREATED BY POLITICIANS -BENT ON DESTROYING THE COUNTRY.

I BELIEVE IN THE AMERICAN DREAM, I BELIEVE IN AMERICAN VALUES.

I BELIEVE IN EXCEPTIONALISM.

IF WE DON'T MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE, WE VERY WELL MAY LOSE AMERICA.

JOIN DAVID CURRY FOR CONGRESS, I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOUR SUPPORT, IT WOULD BE AN HONOR AND A PRIVILEGE TO BE YOUR NEXT CONGRESSMAN.

>> MIKE COLLINS.

>> I AM MIKE COLLINS, CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS IN GEORGIA'S 10th DISTRICT.

I WAS BORN, RAISED, LIVED, AND WORKED HERE IN THE 10th DISTRICT.

AND I CAN EVEN VOTE IN THE 10th DISTRICT.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN ELECTED TO ANYTHING IN MY LIFE, MY WIFE AND I SPENT THE LAST 30 YEARS RAISING OUR FAMILY AND BUILDING A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS.

THAT GIVES ME A UNIQUE ALTERCATION THAT NONE OF THE OTHERS HAVE.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE THAT IS TRULY PRO-TRUMP, AMERICA FIRST AGENDA CANDIDATE, SOMEONE THAT WILL STAND UP NOT ONLY TO THE LUNATIC LEFT BUT TO THE ELITES AND THE ESTABLISHMENT IN OUR OWN PARTY, I NEED YOUR HELP.

THE TIME FOR COMPROMISE, THE TIME FOR BIPARTISANSHIP, THAT'S OVER WITH.

THIS IS THE BEST TIME IN OUR LIFETIME.

TO SEND REPUBLICANS TO CONGRESS, NOT JUST REPUBLICANS BUT THE RIGHT ONES.

WE NEED TRUE WARRIORS.

I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOUR SUPPORT AND YOUR VOTE.

>> ALAN SIMS.

>> THANK YOU FOR HOSTING THIS FORUM.

AS AN AIRLINE PILOT, WHENEVER I RETURN, THINGS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE.

AS A NEW GRANDDAD, I KNOW THE TIME TO FIGHT IS RIGHT NOW.

AT WEST POINT, I TOOK AN OATH TO DEFEND THE NATION AND FOR THE 30 YEARS AFTER THAT, I DID JUST THAT.

I CONDUCTED WORLDWIDE MILITARY OPERATIONS INCLUDING AFGHANISTAN WHERE I PERSONALLY LED 59 COMBAT MISSIONS.

IN JERUSALEM, I LED THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE IRON DOME SYSTEM AND AT THE PENTAGON, I LED DOD EFFORTS TO ESTABLISH ENERGY INDEPENDENCE.

I KNOW HOW TO GET THINGS DONE IN WASHINGTON.

YOU SENT ME TO WEST POINT, YOU SENT ME TO THE COLLEGE, YOU ASKED ME TO SERVE YOU, NOW SEND ME TO CONGRESS AND TOGETHER, LET'S SECURE THE PURSUIT OF LIBERTY FOR OUR FAMILIES.

>> WE WANT TO TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR BEING HERE, WE APPRECIATE IT, IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR VOTERS IN THE 10th TO HEAR WHAT YOU STAND FOR AND INVOLVEMENT.

THAT CONCLUDES OUR DEBATE.

ELECTION DAY IS APPROACHING, TUESDAY, MAY 24th.

NOT THAT FAR AWAY.

AND EARLY VOTING IS NOW UNDERWAY.

WE WANT TO THANK ALL THE CANDIDATES AGAIN.

AND TO OUR PANEL OF JOURNALISTS, WE APPRECIATE YOUR INVOLVEMENT IN THIS TODAY.

WE ALSO WANT TO THANK THE ATLANTA PRESS CLUB FOR ARRANGING IT, AND A LOT OF DEBATES ARE COMING YOUR WAY IN THE DAYS AHEAD.

YOU CAN CERTAINLY HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF POLITICS IN GEORGIA.

THAT IS IT FOR US FOR NOW, AND A REMINDER TO VISIT THE ATLANTA PRESS CLUB.ORG.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US FOR THE ATLANTA PRESS CLUB YOUNG DEBATE SERIES.
