I
I WILL
I WILL BE
I WILL BE GIVING YOU SOME TRAVEL TIMES.
TIMES.
TIMES. >>> 5:32 IS YOUR TIME.
WE ARE NOW LESS THAN ONE WEEK
AWAY FROM THE MID-TERM ELECTION.
AND YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHOOSE
WHO REPRESENTS ARIZONA IN THE
SENATE IN ONE OF THE COUNTRIES
MOST CLOSELY WATCHED RACES.
CONGRESSWOMAN MARTHA McSALLY IS
FACING OFF AGAINST CONGRESSWOMAN
KYRSTEN SINEMA FOR JEFF FLAKE'S
SEAT.
SEAT.
SEAT. >>>
SEAT. >>> HISTORY GUARANTEED TO BE
MADE HERE.
MADE HERE. ONE OF THEM WILL BECOME OUR
FIRST STATE'S FEMALE SENATOR.
CONGRESSWOMAN MARTHA McSALLY
ALONGSIDE SENATOR SUSAN COLLINS
FROM MAINE WHO JUST MADE THE
TRIP LAST NIGHT AND SAYS THAT
77, BY THE WAY, IS NOT COLD.
>> AND, LISTEN, I GET IT, YOU'RE
RIGHT.
RIGHT.
RIGHT. >>
RIGHT. >> LET'S START WITH YOU.
THAT SENATE SEAT THAT YOU'RE
VYING FOR CASTS A PRETTY LONG
SHADOW.
SHADOW.
SHADOW. SENATOR FLAKE HAS BEEN A LONG
LEADER FOR A LONG TIME.
AND I THINK VOTERS WANT THAT
LEADERSHIP FROM SOMEWHERE.
SO WHY SHOULD THEY ELECT YOU
AND.
AND.
AND. >>
AND. >> I
AND. >> I ALSO WORK FOR SENATOR JON
KYL WHO IS NOW BACK IN THE
SENATE.
SENATE.
SENATE. ARIZONA HAS A LONG HISTORY OF
SENDING PEOPLE TO THE SENATE WHO
ARE GOING TO BE STRONG VOICES,
ESPECIALLY ON NATIONAL SECURITY
ISSUES.
ISSUES.
ISSUES. AND HAVING SERVED 26 YEARS IN
THE MILITARY, WHAT BROUGHT ME TO
ARIZONA WAS FLYING AT WILLIAMS
AIR FORCE BASE BEFORE IT CLOSED.
AND I COMMANDED AN A-10 SQUADER.
THE WEATHER, THE AIR SPACE, I
KNOW FIRST HAND AS ONE OF THE
FEW VETERANS IN CONGRESS WHAT
OUR TROOPS NEED, THE NATIONAL
SECURITY TREASURE THAT'S WE HAVE
HERE, AND ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT JOBS AS A SENATOR IS
MAKING SURE WE KEEP OUR COUNTRY
AND COMMUNITY SAFE.
SO I THINK THAT'S AN POSHLT
FACTOR THAT PEOPLE SHOULD
CONSIDER WHEN MAKING THIS
DECISION.
DECISION.
DECISION. I SEE THIS AS A CONTINUATION OF
MY SERVICE.
MY SERVICE. THE SAME OATH OF OFFICE WHEN I
RAISED MY RIGHT HAND THAT I TOOK
AS A MILITARY OFFICER AND I'M
JUST TRYING TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT
FOR OUR COUNTRY AND OUR STATE.
>> YOUR CAMPAIGN HAS DRAWN
SUPPORT FROM POLITICAL HEAVY
WEIGHTS.
WEIGHTS.
WEIGHTS. THE PRESIDENT, THE VICE
PRESIDENT IN TOWN.
WE HAVE SENATOR SUSAN COLLINS
WHO IS HERE RIGHT NOW FROM
MAINE.
MAINE.
MAINE. WELL, THE WOMAN ELECTED IS GOING
TO BE TAKING OVER SENATOR
FLAKE'S SEAT.
FLAKE'S SEAT. YOU'VE BEEN ACTUALLY WORKING
CLOSELY WITH SENATOR FLAKE
ESPECIALLY OVER THE KAVANAUGH
CONFIRMATION.
CONFIRMATION. DELAYED HIS CONFIRMATION SO THAT
WE COULD GET THE FBI
INVESTIGATION.
INVESTIGATION. TELL ME WHY YOU ARE HERE
RALLYING SUPPORT FOR
CONGRESSWOMAN McSALLY.
CONGRESSWOMAN McSALLY. >> I THINK SO HIGHLY OF MARTHA
McSALLY.
McSALLY.
McSALLY. SHE HAS THE COMPETENCE, THE
DETERMINATION, AND THE INTEGRITY
THAT WE NEED IN THIS SENATE.
SHE WILL BE A FIERCE ADVOCATE
FOR THE STATE OF ARIZONA.
BUT SHE WILL ALSO CONTRIBUTE SO
MUCH TO THE NATIONAL DEBATE ON
SO MANY IMPORTANT ISSUES.
I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE TO WORK
WITH BOTH JEFF FLAKE AND JOHN
McCAIN OVER THE YEARS.
I WAS CLOSE TO BOTH OF THEM.
AND THE KAVANAUGH NOMINATION IS
AN EXAMPLE OF WHERE THERE IS A
REAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO
CANDIDATES IN THIS RACE WITH
CONGRESSWOMAN McSALLY ENDORSING
JUSTICE KAVANAUGH AND HER
OPPONENT OPPOSING HIM.
I DON'T THINK ANYONE WORKED
HARDER ON THAT NOMINATION THAN I
DID.
DID.
DID. AND
DID. AND WE WERE REALLY AT THE BRINK
OF THROWING OVERBOARD THE
PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE, THE
FAIRNESS, AND IT IS SUPPORT FOR
JUSTICE KAVANAUGH THAT IS ONE
REASON THAT I BELIEVE THAT SHE
WILL APPROACH THE ISSUES WITH
GREAT INTEGRITY AND CARE AND
INTELLIGENCE.
INTELLIGENCE. >> WE LIKE TO GET TO SOME OF
THOSE ISSUES.
THOSE ISSUES. WE HAD SEVERAL VIEWERS ASK ABOUT
THIS.
THIS.
THIS. THANKS FOR GETTING THOSE
SUBMISSIONS IN, EVERYBODY.
ARIZONA HAS THE THIRD HIGHEST
UNINSURED RATE IN THE COUNTRY.
IN 2015, YOU VOTED TO REPEAL THE
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.
IN 2017, REPEAL AND REPLACE.
THERE ARE PEOPLE WORRIED ABOUT
HEALTH INSURANCE IN ARIZONA.
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THOSE PEOPLE
WATCHING THIS MORNING,
ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH
PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS?
PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS? >> THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH
PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS RIGHT
NOW UNDER OBAMACARE WHO ARE NOT
COVERED BECAUSE THEY CAN'T
AFFORD IT.
AFFORD IT. SO THE INTENTION OF OBAMACARE
WAS GOOD, BUT THE POLICY OUTCOME
HAS NOT BEEN STRONG.
SO WE JUST NEED A DIFFERENT
APPROACH.
APPROACH.
APPROACH. I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT PROTECTING
PEOPLE WITH PRE-EXISTING
CONDITIONS.
CONDITIONS. I VOTED TO PROTECT PEOPLE WITH
PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS.
PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. >> WHERE EXACTLY DID YOU VOTE
BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S THE
CONFUSION.
CONFUSION. >> REPEAL AND REPLACE THAT WE
VOTED ON.
VOTED ON.
VOTED ON. VERY SPECIFICALLY SAID INSURANCE
COMPANIES DID NOT DENY PEOPLE
WHO HAVE PRE-EXISTING
CONDITIONS.
CONDITIONS. WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS
PROVIDE OTHER OPTIONS FOR MORE
STATE FLEXIBILITY AND MORE
OPTIONS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES TO
BE ABLE TO POOL TOGETHER.
MORE OPTIONS FOR FAMILIES THAT
ARE IN BETWEEN JOBS.
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THEY ARE
UNCOVERED.
UNCOVERED. PEOPLE WITH PRE-EXISTING
CONDITIONS ARE UNCOVERED.
INTENTION WAS GOOD, BUT IT WAS A
ONE SIDE FITS ALL FEDERAL
TOPDOWN APPROACH, ALSO ROBBING
MEDICARE OF $700 BILLION.
THERE'S ONLY ONE CHOICE IN
ARIZONA.
ARIZONA.
ARIZONA. BETTER WAY TO APPROACH IT THAT
PROTECTS PEOPLE WITH
PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS WHILE
BRINGING DOWN THE COST AND
PROVIDING MORE OUTCOMES FOR
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. AND THAT'S WHY PASSION.
I SPENT MY WHOLE LIFE PROTECTING
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. OF COURSE I'M GOING TO PROTECT
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. IT'S A COMPLEX ISSUE HEALTHCARE,
HEALTH INSURANCE AND WE WORK
TOGETHER ON THIS ACTUALLY ON THE
INDIVIDUAL HEALTH INSURANCE
MARKET TRYING TO FIND A
BIPARTISAN APPROACH IN THE MIDST
OF ALL THIS.
BUT, PLEASE, DON'T BELIEVE THE
FEAR TACTICS AND THE ATTACK ADS.
WE ALL HAVE A LOVED ONE WITH A
PRE-EXISTING CONDITION OR HAVE
ONE.
ONE.
ONE. WE'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE MORE
OPTIONS AT A LOWER COST FOR
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. >> WE ONLY HAVE 6 DAYS UNTIL THE
MID-TERM ELECTIONS.
MID-TERM ELECTIONS. THE ATTACK ADS HAVE BEEN --
THAT'S ONE OF THE BIPGEST THING
THAT WE ARE HEARING FROM PEOPLE
IS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SO HARSH
TO WATCH.
TO WATCH.
TO WATCH. WITH JUST SIX DAYS, IT REALLY
DOES LOOK LIKE ARIZONA, THIS
STATE IS SPLIT ON WHO THEY ARE
GOING TO PUT IN THAT SENATE
SEAT.
SEAT.
SEAT. WHY
SEAT. WHY SHOULD THEY VOTE FOR YOU?
>> I WOULD ASK PEOPLE TO LOOK AT
MY RECORD.
MY RECORD. I LOST MY DAD WHEN I WAS 12.
I WENT THROUGH SOME TOUGH TIMES
AS A TEENAGER.
BUT IT ALMOST CRUSHED ME, BUT
INSTEAD I WAS BY THE GRACE OF
GOD PROPELLED TO A LIFE OF
SERVICE.
SERVICE.
SERVICE. I SERVED 26 YEARS IN THE
MILITARY.
MILITARY.
MILITARY. I PUT MY LIFE ON THE LINE FOR
OUR FREEDOMS AND OUR WAY OF
LIFE.
LIFE.
LIFE. SIX
LIFE. SIX DEPLOYMENTS TO THE MIDDLE
EAST AND AFGHANISTAN.
AND I BROKE BARRIERS FOR WOMEN
AND GIRLS.
AND GIRLS. I WAS THE FIRST WOMAN TO FLY A
FIGHT.
FIGHT.
FIGHT. AND AS PART OF OUR CULTURE AS
VETERANS THAT IF WE'RE
COMPLAINING ABOUT SOMETHING, WE
BETTER BE WILLING TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
I HAD THE BLESSING TO WORK FOR
JEFF KYL.
JEFF KYL.
JEFF KYL. WE NEED PEOPLE THERE THAT ARE
WITH INTEGRITY, THAT ARE GOING
TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT ARE
WHAT'S BEST FOR THE COUNTRY, NOT
WHAT'S BEST FOR THEM.
AND THOSE ARE THE CORE VALUES
THAT WE HAD IN THE MILITARY.
I SEE THIS AS A CONTINUED
DEPLOYMENT OF -- SERVICE TO OUR
COUNTRY AND TO OUR STATE BECAUSE
I CARE SO DEEPLY.
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN OPPORTUNITY TO
MEET THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.
THAT ANYBODY WHO WORKS HARD IN
AMERICA CAN GET AHEAD, CAN
PROVIDE FOR THEIR FAMILIES AND
CAN MEET THEIR DREAMS AND THAT
WE KEEP OUR COUNTRY SAFE.
THAT'S WHY I'M IN THE HOUSE AND
THAT'S WHY I'M RUNNING FOR THE
SENATE.
SENATE.
SENATE. AND I'D ASK THEM TO TAKE A LOOK
AT MY RECORD AND I'D BE HONORED
TO HAVE THEIR VOTE.
>> SIX DAYS IN HISTORY WILL BE
MADE HERE IN ARIZONA.
WE HAVE TO FINISH ON THIS
HALLOWEEN INTERVIEW WITH BOOMER.
>> BOOMER, COME HERE, BUDDY.
>> THIS IS MARTHA McSALLY'S DOG.
>> HE IS MY RESCUE, GOLDEN
RETRIEVER.
RETRIEVER. >> FIVE YEARS OLD, RIGHT?
>> HE'S FIVE.
HI, SWEET BOY.
>> HE'S READY FOR HALLOWEEN.
>> WE CAN'T MAKE EXCEPTIONS FOR
CONGRESS WOMEN OR SENATORS.
IF YOU WANT TO
