c-span radio app. next, we hear from lesser-known republican parties are ahead of next tuesday's new hampshire primary. some of the topics covered include health care, opioids, and the impeachment. this event was held at the saint anselm college in new hampshire. >> welcome back again, everyone. josh. >> i would like to have secretary gardner -- is he still here? he had the opportunity to address the crowd earlier. when we heard from the lesser-known democratic candidates. this is obviously the lesser-known republican candidates though that could change this evening. we will hear from secretary of state bill gardner. would you like to say anything? i guess he is going to pass. secretary gardner has been the longest-serving secretary of state in the country and the vanguard of the new hampshire primary. thank you for what you are doing. let us get to the candidates. we will start introducing them. come up on the stage. we start with number one who is already on stage. from covington, georgia. let's introduce robert from long island, coming up next. [applause] stephen calmly from valley, massachusetts. [applause] how are you, sir? thank you very much. mill valley, california. [applause] thank you very much. let's get some energy going. i know it is the second of the debates. mary maxwell, concord, new hampshire. [applause and cheers] >> how are you, ma'am? thank you for joining us. and we have william murphy, also from new hampshire. thank you very much. good to see you. thank you. candidates, please take your seats. quick introduction of the panelists, same as they were during the democratic forum, we have a longtime political reporter from wmur. well-respected journalist, lucky to have him here. doing the same thing for more than two decades, 23 years of the associated press. very well-respected, interviewed a myriad of candidates. we will cut you off if you go past your time. you have some time cues from katie who has the signs. your questions around a minute. moving from right to left, the panel facing the audience, let's start with your opening statement. >> good evening, manchester. i would like to thank the college for the wonderful opportunity. my campaign slogan says it all. a moderate republican, even a democrat can like. think of me as fiscally conservative and socially moderate. i am a former award winning advertising executive from new york city and in 2016i ran for congress in new york city's congressional district 12 which also happened to be president trump's district. the president and i live nearby. it is very difficult for a republican to get elected to anything in new york city. but i did very well nonetheless receiving 50,000 votes. it was such a great experience i wrote a book about it, running for congress in trump's backyard. as a result, i developed bipartisan solutions to the nation's most pressing problems, solutions which sometimes differ from the president's. running for president is the best way i know how to shed light on those solutions. the national debt is my number one issue. it is the greatest threat to our country. if we are ever attacked, we might not be able to defend ourselves. we can't keep printing money. we devalue every existing dollar. we can't keep borrowing from china and other countries. that puts us in a very compromised position. and then there are social plans for health care in my unique way -- and my unique way of getting federal term limits passed once and for all. i would like to tell you about that and more before the night is out. >> thank you. let's go down the line with president body. that is your first name? >> yes, sir. my beloved americans, know this. the lord says every american in here today, he says we need the attitudes, change the way we treat each other and begin to love each other. you say what qualifies me? i'm already the president of the united states. it is not my ambition. on january 28, he said run. we will get into that, but a way to know that our united states constitution says we the people. i am one of us, meaning i know what it is like to be homeless. i know what it is like to go hungry. i know what it is like to struggle, to pay bills. i know what is like to win against incredible odds. i can relate to every american on the planet or in this company. how about that? the first thing god ordered me to do when i step into office is to unite israel and america as one country. god said it is already done. this would bring an increase in peace, the longevity of your life. life expectancy will increase because there will be no more mass shootings under my administration. the moment i stepped into office, each of you will begin to receive your own united states social security treasury fund that would hold its thought at $1 million and pay you at a dividend based on what you earn. based on the stock market. 1% on a 90 day basis. you can enjoy life for real and let president bodie watch god move. >> most of you have the packet i just handed out. i'm a private investigator, been doing it 34 years. and there is no shortage of corruption there. i have also been investigating the media which don't always tell you the truth about nuclear plans. how am i different from trump? i can beat trump if i get your vote because the press in new hampshire are not writing about me. we will see how much tomorrow. and how much will be on the cameras. i challenged johnson nuno. he used a secret document and i -- john sununu. he used a secret document and i have met with the fbi about it. i respect whistleblowers. the former u.s. attorney was part of a six years failed witchhunt of attorney general thornburgh who charged me with conspiring to topple the nuclear regulatory commission. they wanted to find out who gave me the evidence. for years these facts have been suppressed by politicians, the media and companies who control america. a must-read -- who owns the media and such? the nuclear holdings of general electric will shock you. i handed the pamphlet out out front. i am the only -- eisenhower warned of the military-industrial complex. the biggest threat to our climate is unsafe and leaking nuclear plants. trump sells arms to create jobs and threatens war. enables nuclear lobbyists to fill politicians' war chests. with colin powell as my vice president, we will have america take the lead in disarming nuclear warheads. we will bring our troops home and fix our infrastructure and create millions of safe funds -- safe jobs for our veterans. clean, save energy can be our future. >> ran out of time area i want to keep it fair for everybody. you will have an opportunity to make your case. i know i botched your name, so please correct that. >> i am running for president. some of you may know me as trans-humanist who writes a lot in major media, the new york times and places like that. i come from silicon valley. it may seem strange in other parts of america but we have these giant companies that are leading the world in terms of innovation, apple, google, they are doing things which are amazing like putting implants in people's brains doing machine , interface, taking disabled people and putting exoskeleton suits on them. there is an entire industry pushing forward the human race. there is a problem. the last five years china has started to catch up and surpass america in terms of technology. american made its name in technology and being a leader in science. if china starts catching up and takes over like china had the first genetically edited babies, and they are leading us in artificial intelligence, some of the biggest industries coming in the next 10 and 20 years, america could fall further. i don't want that to happen. i don't want it to happen from china which is an authoritarian nation. one of the reasons i am running to become president is to bring back a balance to american innovation. we have a tendency in silicon valley to turn left and put on too many regulations pre-we have a president cutting the's -- institute of health's budget. i want to say science and technology that made america great, let's embrace that again and put money in the innovation and send people to other planets and do the space industry and genetic editing. let's do these things that our conservative government now is afraid to do. >> thank you. ms. maxwell. >> imagine me sitting next to a trans-humanist. artificial intelligence is not for me. i am happy with the intelligence we have had this past eons. any changeso making to humanity but if changes are to be made, i want to know who is making and if we can talk about it to them. such things as algorithms have taken over. i don't remember anyone asking us if we wanted that to happen. thank you for the invitation. you are welcome at my home in concord. please come visit me where i will do my best to force you to sign up for the state rep job. is mr. gardner still here? present, ma'am but you are on the clock. >> 18 years is the age of? 18 you can become a candidate? >> she is asking you if the state rep is 18 years? i'm taking up her time now. >> 25 for congress. everyone in the room is eligible. please join us as soon as possible. could our constitution disappear? yes. today i heard trump say jerry nadler is a sleaze. not ok. maybe they are those things. possibly. but it is not for the president to talk like that. impeachment is a sacred process. and by the way i think the , ukraine affair is small beer -- small beer -- compared to other things they get up to. mr. trump should be saying bring it on. check me out and mr. biden should say you falsely accused me. let's investigate and find out what happens. >> thank you. final opening statement from mr. murphy. >> my name is bill murphy and i would like to solicit your vote for president. i am running for president because i can. i am 35 or more. i was born in the united states and i have lived here in hanover, new hampshire where i am approaching my 60th year of teaching social studies. i'm running because i can in the state of new hampshire where all i do is walk in the door, talk to bill gardner and put down my $1000. $1000 is a lot of money for a schoolteacher. but if you really believe in your cause, then is will spent. -- then it is well spent. that is my message to my students and the students in the room. if the cause is that important, it may take sacrifice. i wake up some mornings and i'm worried again about the news and what our president has done. i think character counts. and he has been dishonest. he has bullied, he has name called, he has abused women. this is not the rule model for -- role model for our country that i want. he has in some way disparaged just about every friend we have in the international community and cozied up with those people who he should not be. so therefore i think that we ought to have him replaced. >> i am sure this will be a topic moving forward button we -- but we are going to get to our panelists now. let's start with mr. murphy, getting the first question. it is important to point out that you quite certain there will be a question related. >> that leads into my first question. in some states, they are not having a republican primary. because president trump is seeking reelection. that is not the case in new hampshire where the primaries are open to people who meet the qualifications and have $1000. talk about why challenge an incumbent president from your own party? >> there are various comments. it is a complex thing. first of all, what is my own party? if you go back to when president running,e and started the platform he was running on was not the publican party. therefore, i want you to take a look at the things i stand for. students would have said you talk too much, mr. murphy, b more concise. you didn't get to the platform i was running for, but i think there is value to listen to the ideas i present and therefore it is worth going up and against an incumbent president. let's talk about these important ideas. >> let's jump around a little bit. let's go to president bodie. same question. mr. bodie: thank you. first, i'm not here to challenge president trump. i love him and i respect him. i honor him because he is our president. i am only running for president -- can you all hear me? ok, i am only running for president because the spirit of the living god has ordered me to do so, on january 28, 2018. when he said so, he said call your the ship and get the blessing. i got the blessing from my bishop. i called my wife as god told me. my wife asked me one question. what are you going to do about the electoral college? god said, don't worry about the outcome. we got the victory. we already won. i wrote president trump and he wrote me back. i said how much i loved him. he expressed love to me. i want you all to know that love is the key. >> thank you. mr. conley. same question for you. mr. comley: i signed up to run for president against trump three days before he was signed in because i knew what we were going to be in for. i think he ought to be impeached because he has obstructed justice and used the white house as a dictatorship. he thinks he is running new york when he is in washington. he doesn't have compassion for people. he needs our prayers. by the way, my campaign manager is the best when you can ever have. he is jesus christ. he wants me in the white house. i can beat trump. first get my background out, every american will vote for me. that is the problem. mr. trump is out of control with nuclear power. he wants more plants built. most of the plants are built with substandard parts and i can prove it. that is the biggest threat against all of the issues because we don't need a chernobyl or a three mile island or fukushima. we all need to get involved. if you help me, we will turn washington upside down. i've got the will and i can do it. >> thank you, sir. the incumbent is almost a neighbor of yours. mr. ardini: is this three minutes? >> one minute. mr. ardini: as a result of my congressional run, i developed bipartisan solutions to the nation's most pressing problems. i want the opportunity to put myself in the best possible position to implement these. many of my solutions differ from the president's. this is why i am choosing to oppose him. again, to be able to be in the best possible position to implement these bipartisan solutions to the nation's most pressing problems. >> thank you, sir. i appreciate that. >> i think it is my patriotic duty to run against trump. i've been greatly disappointed, especially based on his premise of making america great. as i mentioned earlier in my speech, if you really want to make america great, you will have to bring back science and innovation and the stem subjects to america. that means funding education and really worrying about the issue of automation and artificial intelligence taking all of our jobs, which will probably have basicd to some kind of income. i have a basic income plan in my platform, but it is also his idea that what trump is doing to america is dividing us all. that is the last thing i could stand for. i don't want to walk out, everyone hates each other. we need a president that can get in there and say, we are going down this path together. aree have adversities, they outside the borders of america, not in america. >> you said some states -- i -- have not allowed folks like us to do this. i know states like south america and new mexico -- that is foolish, but it just shows the emotion of loyalty has really gone nuts in this whole thing because when you see your enemy, you don't dare say to your colleague, it is not really that bad of an enemy. i am a constitutional maniac and i have sued mr. trump in court violation of article one section eight, the war powers act and i have a case that is -- you know what i mean? filed against the fbi for the misbehavior of the marathon bombing situation. >> thank you. appreciate that. let's go back to the panel now. >> i think some of you have touched on this, but i would like to ask you to set your priorities with an open-ended question. what is the greatest security threat to the united states of america and its citizens? the greatest threat. what is the greatest security threat to the united states of america and its citizens? the greatest security threat? mr. comley: security threat? more nuclear weapons. america has got to take the lead in starting to disarm nuclear warheads. this is crazy what is going on. we ought to go back to the bow and arrows. that's what we need to go back to. anyone who is competing for the most nuclear weapons -- korea now, north korea, iran, the united states, the russians have more than anyone and the u.s. is second. we don't need another disaster in this country. that is the biggest threat. it is a threat to every single issue. we need to get involved. i can't do it alone. you need to make your voice heard. that is the most important and most powerful thing is have your voice heard and stay involved in your government. don't depend on the politicians in washington who get paid through nuclear lobbyists, especially during the threat of war. you need to get involved. i can help you do that. >> thank you very much, sir. mr. ardini. mr. ardini: civilizations rise and civilizations fall. when they fall, why do they usually fall? because of money. because of the dollar. in terms of our greatest threat, it is our national debt. as i mentioned earlier, if we are attacked on the homeland, we may not be able to defend ourselves. so therefore our national debt needs to be put in check so it is no longer the threat it is so we can defend ourselves if we are ever attacked on the homeland. >> thank you very much, sir. had the opportunity for everyone to answer each question. let's go back to our panel. holly raymer and first question for president bodie. >> explain what your doctrine would be in terms of sending troops into harm's way. talk a little about the circumstances under which a company circumstances under which a president should get authorization from congress before engaging in some kind of military conflict with other countries. mr. bodie: as far as sending our troops into harm's way, under my administration, that is not happening. the first thing i am doing in terms of our military is establishing the united states praise force, the seventh branch. of our united states military. the same way we did it a long time ago, right, in the walls of jericho, when you go through the word of god. god always send the praisers first. i'ma spiritual leader and already the president of the united states. the moment i walked in office, there will be no more evil occurrences and or adversaries. i know this is hard for some of you to believe, but trust and believe it is true. i am a son of david. i am not one of these politicians. ask yourself about the congressional war resolutions and so forth. i believe in upholding the constitution of the united states to the letter. there you have it. candidates, i know it doesn't feel like it is picking you up, but the mic is picking you up. find that sweet spot. mr. murphy at the end. boots on the ground. mr. murphy: i am concerned about the growth of the imperial presidency. i think what has happened is we have moved into the administration where they govern by resolution and by edict, i think we are overlooking important role of congress. as president, i will carry out the laws of congress so they will have a greater say in what is going. that is my job. to follow along, i don't necessarily say praise, but i am in favor of a peace academy to promote understanding in the world. ms. maxwell: in 2007 general leslie went on a show and we said he had seen in 2001, that predicted that the u.s. was going to knock down seven countries. i think it was somalia, sudan, lebanon, syria, and finishing off with iran. someone had a plan. it is not as if somebody got into harms way. these wars were organized. act since 1973, it is ok. your question was, can the president act in an emergency? wouldn't it be foolish to send nuclear weapons anywhere, nuclear missiles? isn't that a foolish thing? >> thank you very much, ma'am. >> really quick, i want to go back to the biggest threat that america and the world faces. in my opinion, it is clearly artificial intelligence. we are about five to 15 years away from creating an intelligence that is smarter than us and can become far smarter than us. those things can control nuclear weapons, they could decide to turn off all the power, they could stop the internet. this terminator scenario is actually very real and it relates to our military. intelligence is my biggest worry and i have voiced that opinion to silicon valley. it is my opinion as a libertarian minded person, i don't believe in the foreign intervention going on. i would like to automatically -- i would like to dramatically reduce the military. boeing and lockheed martin can make just as much money dealing with curing things like cancer and diabetes and alzheimer's and entering into the trans-human stage where we are upgrading our bodies than spending it on bombs and wars. why don't we fight war against cancer and heart disease and things like that. that is what i would like to do to spend the money we are spending on the military now. >> let's go back to the panel. >> thank you, josh. let's go back to trump and back to what we see in washington every day. it it seems like it is divided along party lines in terms of whether the president should be able to finish his term or the people should decide his fate in november. and down there, it is divided. republicans on one side, democrats on the other. how do you feel about this? should trump be removed from office next week, or should the american people decide his fate in november? >> great question, thank you. first of all, we need witnesses. for this reason, two wrongs don't make a right. whether the house produced this impeachment from a partisan stance or not, it doesn't matter. it is now in the senate. we need to have a fair trial. in order to do that, we need witnesses. moving along, i don't feel the president should be impeached. again, this is simply my opinion and i reserve judgment to change my mind after i hear witnesses, if indeed we have witnesses. the reason i don't believe he should be removed is when it all comes down to it, what are we talking about? intent. if president trump, if we can prove it was his intention to get the goods on biden, then of course he deserves to be impeached. but we can't prove that. we can't prove intent. donald trump may not know his own intent. as to why he took the actions he did. so we have to give the man the benefit of the doubt. we may think he is guilty. we may have evidence, but it is circumstantial. and a person really should not be punished or sanctioned based on circumstantial evidence. you need to give the man the benefit of the doubt. >> you are a professional investigator. i am interested to hear your answer to this question, given due process. or have you heard enough? >> if we are going to have the impeachable policy, then he has to be impeached. i think you do need it in case you get somebody in america that is dictating. he obstructed justice. he wouldn't work with congress. he won't bring in witnesses. he is telling the staff they can't testify. that wouldn't happen in open court. you wouldn't allow it. he needs to be impeached and i and takeet in there his place. he knows me and he knows be very well. you look at the website, you see videos of trump and i together. him the evidence about substandard parts, do you know what he did? he agreed with me. what has he done with that? he has ignored it. every day he ignores what i gave him, he is jeopardizing the safety of the american people and your families. don't think you can't have a nuclear disaster in this country. three mile island was covered up and i've got the proof of it. question whatsoever he needs to be impeached. , >> thank you. mr. bodie: let me tell you what the real truth is. i want to get back to what some of you say. what is the greatest threat? deception and delusions and illusions. the american people are being deceived every day in a way you all have no idea is sorcery. in the book of revelations, it speaks about this sorcery. pharmaceutically being done through chemicals. not only in foods and stuff we but in the airways we are taking in. we are being bombarded with sound waves that are not god, keeping us agitated and believing beings and hating people. how can you mention my father jesus and is yeshua talk about hating somebody? cast the first stone now. if you are asking about anything relating to our nation, we need love. let me tell you all something. everybody on the stage is campaigning except for me. i am camjoying. the joy of the lord is my strength. what about you? you are looking at god's elected president of the united states america. you all celebrate with me. we all got the victory. as far as donald trump and impeachment, let me tell you something. article three says if you give aid to a foreign enemy, you are committing treason. >> thank you. let's go back to the panel. question from holly for mr. zoltan. >> with all of the mass shootings in recent years, schools, houses of worship, are there any restrictions on gun ownership you would support it, or would you go the other way and say that restrictions need to be lessened? >> i'm excited that you asked me this because i have a policy i have written about for a long time. i think first off, the democrats want to take away the guns. there is 300 to 400 million guns in america and half of the people who have them are willing to use them. if someone tried to take it away. i don't think that is a good idea whatsoever. there is a way to stop terrorism and there is a way to stop mass shootings, and it is very simple. we can use robots, drones, and microwave different sensors that would be put in different places, every school. anytime somebody walks in, it would set off a message and send something to teachers and to police. the same could be happening in the super bowl. in fact, in the super bowl, they already have these things. let me give you a quick instance of what happened. after the las vegas shootings, many put in these microwave sensors. whenever you walk in with a rifle into the lobby of a major hotel in las vegas, it sends it out to the manager on duty. they can arrest that person or at least not let those in. we can stop the damage of terrorism and mass shootings through technology but we don't have to take away guns. it's a bipartisan solution. >> mr. ardini? mr. ardini: in terms of gun control, my solution ties in with my healthcare plan. it's one component of my healthcare plan. specifically, i think the government needs to incentivize insurance companies to in turn incentivize subscribers to see a mental health professional once a year. this would be optional. notice i'm not using the word mandate. why? because mentally sound people don't commit mass shootings. this is something we should all be able to agree on. yes, the republicans and the democrats can't get together on gun control. we have been at it for years, but this is something we can do. let's do this. let's take a baby step, do this, and then who knows, we might be able to have a meeting of the minds about some other form of gun control down the line. >> mr. murphy, live free or die. what do you tell your students when it comes to guns? mr. murphy: it's a matter of rights and responsibilities. whenever we talk about rights, there is a responsibility that goes along with it. if you have that right, you also have the responsibility to make sure that that gun is not used for ill purposes. therefore, you're responsible for locking it, to do whatever's necessary to prevent its illegal use and if it is, then you are an abettor of a crime. there's no reason for a semi-automatic weapon to be in a house. you want to shoot it, go on down to the gun club and shoot as much -- bring that tank or that aircraft carrier that they wanted. but get it out of the home. >> invocation of aircraft carriers tonight in these forums. mr. boddie, how do you deal with gun violence? mr. boddie: praise god, god first. one of the things the lord jesus christ blessed me to let you know is we need faith. faith and trust, the word of god that is coming through me. my name is r. 19, as in revelation chapter 19. that's my middle name. read revelation chapter 19 versus 11 and understand what a you are looking at. you've been waiting on this day for a long time and now it's here. when you ask me about gun control, the second amendment, as well regulated, militias. the truth of the matter is, if you are a well regulated militia -- people skip over the word regulated. it has to be regulated. that's why i'm bringing in the citizens branch of the united states praise force. anybody can join, but you have to be regulated and if you got a gun outside of the regulation, under my administration, you have to be subject to the military tribunal effects. i'm the commander and the chief which means you have to deal with the military if you do something you're not supposed to. you have to deal with it. >> let's go back to the panel now. question from john distaso. how about mary maxwell taking the first one? john: the president says the economy is in terrific condition. 3.6% unemployment rate, state of new hampshire below 3%. on paper, it looks good. maybe in reality it's good. i'd like to get your view. the democrats say no, that this is a misleading statistic and the middle class and the lower class, the lower income folks are not being reached by this economy. what is your economic -- the basis of your economic plan? perhaps minimum wage, perhaps raising taxes, perhaps lowering taxes. where do you go as president to try to make the economic boom if you will, reach everyone? ms. maxwell: we have to depend on statistics. how do we believe this man in anything? just like anyone in your own life, once they've lied to you, you doubt everything. i don't doubt that we have a tremendous debt. it's junk. the dollar is bound to collapse internationally, then we're in great trouble. but really, i'm a biologist and i see us as a species and i see that every person needs food like other mammals. you just have to get food. and even 130 years ago, which is like yesterday, most americans could get food from their own farm, but now you depend on a job and that job allows someone to manipulate you in every way. and you were saying would the minimum wage help? well certainly, yes. the extreme of the differences of inequality now is ever increasing. it's never improving. >> 10 seconds, ma'am. john: just one quick point. the "wall street journal" reports that the federal deficit totaled one trillion over the 12 months to december. >> pick it up there, mr. zoltan. >> many of you might know i have a basic income plan. when trump talks about immigration and building a wall because jobs are being lost, mr. -- more jobs are being lost to technology than anyone else and anyone -- any student in this college will have a tough future because automation and robots will take all of them so i believe and there are many other people, republicans, democrats, bipartisan plan, we need some kind of plan for universal income to pay people to have shelter, food, even if they can't find work. my plan is a little bit different. it doesn't raise taxes. it uses federal land. 57% of the 11 most western states of the u.s. are empty federal land. we have as many mineral resources in nevada as we do in afghanistan so we could pool these mineral resources, monetize it, lease it a big business and pay everyone in this room $1000 or $1500, but we have resources to pay a basic income so that we can solve the issues of poverty. >> mr. comley, what do you think of that? what's your solution? mr. comley: i have been an administrator over 55 years and i know how to get along with people and get my goals achieved and i would design a fair flat tax for everybody. i have been an accounting major and i'm a farmer so i recognize pork when i see it. you got to eliminate entitlement programs, some of them. one way to create jobs -- >> i've got to know, what entitlements would you eliminate? >> parting? -- pardon? >> what entitlements would you eliminate? mr. comley: well, i got to look at them and go through them. and then you eliminate what you don't need. but there's one thing that's happening in this country and that is the working person is getting killed. you know, we've got to control the amount of people that come in this country because if you don't, the working people have to pay the fair load. and i want to bring the soldiers back to fix our infrastructure instead of having wars. one of the solutions really is to take the load off the working person. when people don't pay their fair tax, it's on the working person. >> thank you, sir. appreciate it. what's your economic solution, mr. ardini? mr. ardini: well, the current economy may appear to some as though it's healthy, but it's all smoke and mirrors. how can you say you have a healthy economy when you have a national debt and a budget deficit like we presently have now? again, if we balance the budget once and for all, that's a baby step towards reducing the national debt. and if we do that, we're paying a lot less in interest, which gives the government more disposal income to return to its citizens that need it. >> thank you very much. let's go back to the panel. next question coming from holly raymer for mr. murphy. let's start there. holly: i have a question about gender in politics. your panel here has one woman and the rest male candidates, the same for previous panel earlier with the democratic candidates. what do you make of that? mr. murphy: i'm worried about it and i think that there are people out there, as we heard from the previous panel, that are working very hard in order to make that balance more appropriate. i think that you want the balance in congress. you want the balance in life in general. at the danger of causing problems, in fact, i think there's more problems with the male. i think the privileged male is no longer privileged and if the education system and our society doesn't come to terms with that, we are going to have more and more trouble within the domestic situation. we have got to get them talking to each other so that this is a true equal operation. >> ms. maxwell, same question. what's the status of the glass ceiling in politics these days? ms. maxwell: i have to admit, i didn't hear the question. >> what's the status of the glass ceiling in politics, women in politics? are thing improving, getting worse? static? ms. maxwell: i don't give a hoot. [laughter] >> all right, that's an answer. mr. zoltan? mr. gyurko: i have a policy. if you want to find it more, you can look at my article in "vice." for over five years i have been supporting a policy where we need to give financial incentives to women to be in office and that means even giving them money on the campaign trail so they have an opportunity to rise up and take on especially what i would consider a lot of privileged white men, which is really what's running government and beyond even just gender issues, there's an issue of occupation. the government congress right now is made up of over 40% of attorneys. we should have plumbers, carpenters, doctors, nurses, scientists. we should have a wide array that better represent the people. in my plan, there will be financial incentives for both women to come up and also for different types of occupations so we can have a more balanced congress. >> what do you think, mr. boddie? are things getting better, whether it's women, minorities in general? mr. boddie? mr. boddie: if you don't mind, i'd like to take the moment to also answer that question that i didn't get a chance to answer. i think it's important for all the voters here. when you talk economic security, franklin delano roosevelt introduced the economic security act. i'm revising it, it's called the social security transparency act. i want everybody to know that if you have a social security number, that is an account number linked to your private trust. it's been going on for many years. the only reason why we set up the economic security act is because we didn't have to go to pay off our debt. under my administration, you all would begin to receive what's already yours. >> 30 seconds. mr. boddie: and what's yours is your piece of wall street, your piece of stock market. it's traded every time you pay your bills, every time you pay your credit card, anyway. listen to me. each american can receive a dividend of over $10,000. no more pie in the sky 1500 crap. y'all need to get what's yours. that's why i'm here. you need a real warrior. i'm a fighter. i may not have 20/20 vision, but i have a vision for 2020. elect president r-19. watch god move. >> mr. comley, what's your economic plan and/or women in politics? mr. comley: i think we need more and more women in politics. we got enough of the ones that made a career in there and as far as the politicians are concerned, you know, if you can't get your goals achieved within eight years, like trump is expecting, you don't belong there. you need to get new blood in there, new strength. and women, i work with women. i have been in the healthcare field all my life. i'm the only candidate that has. my family's been in the nursing home profession for over 80 years and we only have one home. it's family run and family owned. my son's the fourth generation. so women, yes, get in there and fight because you need to break more of the glass ceiling. >> thank you, sir. running out of time. about 10 minutes to go. john distaso? john: obamacare, healthcare, big debate on the democratic side. decade after obamacare's been in effect, there are still millions of americans without healthcare. is healthcare a human right like some -- mainly on the democratic side -- say? and is it the government's responsibility? should the government take over healthcare? should the government provide and fill the gaps? where do you come down on healthcare? >> mr. ardini? >> terrific. i love this question. i have a plan for healthcare and it's simple. rather than repeal and replace, that's what president trump attempted. we all know that and it didn't work. i believe in keeping the affordable care act and fixing it with a few republican tweaks. more specifically, i recommend only three tweaks. you heard part of one already, about incentivizing insurance companies to in turn incentivize their subscribers to see a mental health professional. that would also apply to a personal care physician. because you control costs by catching diseases early on. number two, i would allow the uninsured to buy group health insurance through clubs or associations, eliminating the need for a public option or medicare for all. and lastly, i'd remove state barriers once and for all in regard to buying health insurance. this will encourage competition and eventually lower premiums and if you try and do just these three things, it's very likely in my opinion that it would pass both the house and the senate and we'll finally get some movement with healthcare. >> thank you, mr. ardini. appreciate that. ms. maxwell, i assume you give a hoot about healthcare. how do you fix it? ms. maxwell: article one, section eight of the constitution lays out all the 18 things congress is allowed to -- the federal government can get involved in and health is not one of them. >> thank you very much. mr. comley, what's your solution to the healthcare issue? mr. comley: i'm the only candidate that's been in the healthcare profession my whole life and i know how to fix it without over-regulation and believe me, it's over-regulated. we can start in lowering the cost. we can all take the responsibility in incorporating preventive healthcare by eating the right foods, exercising, promoting a good frame of mind. to come out and say you're going to get free healthcare, you're in the going to get free healthcare. somebody's paying for it. and you know, if congress had done their job a long time ago, we wouldn't have 12 million illegal immigrants. if they had held the first 10, we wouldn't have 12 million now. but warren is saying and so is sanders, he's saying they can deliver free healthcare. who's paying for the free healthcare? the working person. it's incredible. so don't think that you're going to get free healthcare. because somebody's paying for it and nothing's free in america. somebody's paying for it. education, healthcare, whatever you want to say. somebody's paying for it and if somebody's getting it for free, the working person is carrying the load. >> thank you, sir. appreciate it. mr. zoltan, take the opportunity to talk about healthcare. mr. gyurko: healthcare is very important and one of the things my presidency would do is usher in a universal basic income so more people would be able to afford the healthcare they needed, but i'm married to a physician, my sister-in-law is a physician. many of my best friends are physicians. they all say the same thing when i ask what's the biggest problem with healthcare and they say the lawyers are so involved in the healthcare industry that everyone can sue everyone for everything and it raises prices again and again so you need tort reform and you need to change the legal system in america. we have more lawyers here than any other country in the world, like we have more prisoners than any other country in the world. to lower health care costs, we need to get lawyers out of our medicine. as a transhumannist, the number one killer, of course, 25% will eventually die from heart disease, is cardiovascular disease. a transhumannist like me would want to spend government money on overcoming the human biological heart with machine hearts. this may sound very radical, but there are many companies out there working on exactly this kind of thing so this is a longer term thinking for our healthcare of american citizens. let's get rid of some of the bad parts of our body and upgrade ourselves. >> thank you very much. mr. boddie? mr. boddie: we, the government, derive our power from you-all, the governed. let me say that again. we are the government and we derive our power from you-all, that's what the declaration of independence said. anybody thought about what that means? if we're getting our power from you, we should value you. guess where your power is at, ready? your signature. you produce the credit. under my administration, you are the secured party credit. what do you mean how we're going to pay for it? you're already paying for it. guess what. we have been lying to you for a long time and now i am here. every time you write your social security down, they send it to my treasury and send it back to you like you owe a bill. it's already paid. house resolution 192, all future obligations are hereby discharged, but that's private. this note is legal tender for all debts public and private. under my administration, we are all americans, you are free. that means that your healthcare provider can do a now tax program which is what i have for you all and that means your bills automatically discharged against what? your social security treasury bond that i'm issuing to every american. elect president r. 19 boddie, watch god move. >> thank you, sir. mr. murphy, how do you solve the healthcare issue? mr. murphy: i'm not solving the healthcare issue. that's congress' business. we have bernie sanders, we have elizabeth warren with these wonderful plans. i'm saying, go back to the senate, work it out and i'm going to sign what you present to my desk. >> got here. final question of the night, everyone's got the opportunity to answer it. it comes from holly raymer. let's start mr. murphy. holly: new hampshire has had the nation's earliest presidential primary since 1920 so this is our centennial celebration year. we've faced a fair amount of criticism over the years of not being as representative as other states. would you support changes in the nominating process? mr. murphy: am i crazy sitting here advocating for a change? no, it's wonderful. it is great for my class to be able to see these candidates. it is a great opportunity for the people of new hampshire. but it's also a great opportunity for the people in the united states because, in fact, what they do is they get to see what happens when these candidates come, person-to-person, into your living room, into the restaurant down the street. they get scrutinized. you say, who are we going to vote for? you say, i don't know, i'm still finding out and they go to meeting after meeting after meeting, go new hampshire. >> thank you very much, sir. ms. maxwell, new hampshire primary? ms. maxwell: the other night i went to a republican party meeting in carroll county and it was so good. it was so good. and they said, keep new hampshire, new hampshire. and they didn't mean anything about particularly this primary. i hope people in the room know what they meant. keep new hampshire new hampshire. so new hampshire is special for the other 49 states, i think many of them know that. it's a historical thing. not because of the primary but come on, let's let them do the primary there because it calls attention to new hampshire but anyway, keep new hampshire new hampshire. >> we've heard from the two new hampshire presidential candidates. mr. zoltan? mr. zoltan: i have to agree to keep it the same. i come from california and there was talk of pushing california up further than where it has been pushed, and i think that would be a disaster because california has so many electoral votes that whoever would win there in their respective parties would have such an advantage and that might drive the news cycles, whereas you can lose in new hampshire and still win the thing and that's what's great about new hampshire, is it opens the entire game, introduces the american public to what is going on to all the names. right now, they're listening, but it is when the voting starts happening, people start paying attention because they're voting soon. i would keep it exactly the same. i think there's too much historical precedence to change anything. >> thank you, sir. appreciate that. mr. comley? mr. comley: i have to say that if it wasn't for the secretary of state, mr. gardner, i wouldn't be here. mr. gardner has been a witness to some of the press that have written inaccurate stories about me and also bernie sanders and his staff removed me from the filing when he was doing it in 2015 and mr. gardner is a witness to that and that's being investigated and i got papers in regards to that. but yes, keep it the same in new hampshire. you know what it costs to get on the ballot and be nominated in arkansas? you got to come up with $25,000. $25,000. and what do we tell our children? if you ever want to be president of the united states, either a woman or a man, you can do it in america. but they make the process very hard to either get in there or not. and mr. gardner, i have so much respect for that man. he is something else. >> we're out of time. >> he keeps the process going here because it's in his heart. >> that's four thumbs up in a row for new hampshire. president boddie, what do you think? mr. boddie: i want to agree with pops right here, straight up because i love mr. gardner, when i first met him. i think he was beautiful. the whole new hampshire process, all the staff at the state, this is a blessing because you're taking a blind man, i was homeless, you know what i mean, and here i am running for president of the united states of america, right. i have a beautiful wife and she supports me, my church home, the grace of god, everybody's happy that i'm even here. it's a blessing so new hampshire has been a blessing to me and i just love it and also i still got a little bit of time, remember, we the people, not we the party. it's not about a party. nowhere in the constitution did it ever say we could be republicans or democrat. the word democrat is nowhere in the constitution. republican is only mentioned in article four -- >> we're out of time. afraid so. final, i have yet to hear a presidential candidate ever during a debate i've moderated have a disparaging comment about our place in the process. mr. ardini? mr. ardini: leave it alone. i don't think the criticism is as widespread as you may think it is. i've only heard this two or three times over the last five years. it's working, there's no reason to change it and frankly, we have much bigger fish to fry. >> thank you very much. let's hear it for the candidates. [applause] let's hear it for saint anselm college, new hampshire institute of politics and everyone for putting this together. thank you for joining us, folks. >> do we get a chance to summarize? >> that was a response to a specific question. >> thanks, thanks. >> well done. >> florida, florida, florida. >> monday, president trump holds a campaign rally in manchester, new hampshire at 7:00 p.m. eastern. campaign 2020 coverage live on c-span3, at c-span.org, or listen with the freak c-span radio app. congress areers of back monday for legislative business. the senate resumes consideration of judicial nominations with a procedural vote monday afternoon on a nominee for the 11th circuit court of appeals. later in the week, senators may take up a war powers resolution that would require congressional approval for further military action against iran. will consider legislation to remove the deadline for the ratification of the equal rights amendment, originally passed in 1972, now ratified by 38 states, but not yet part of the constitution. that measure comes up on thursday. watch live coverage of the house on c-span and the senate on c-span2. next, the 61st annual mcintyre-shaheen 100 club dinner in manchester, new hampshire, featuring 10 democratic presidential candidates. state party officials say this event is their major political fundraiser.
