grace. and what i ve done here is lay out a thorough plan so we have beds for people who have extreme problems with mental illness, so that we have counselors for people to talk to. we had 30% increase in suicides including farmers, including veterans, including students in this country, in 15 years, and chris, the other thing that s unique about my plan is i show how i m going to pay for it. i figure if you re running for president, you better be addressing real problems with real solutions and show how you pay for it. i would take on the pharma companies that got people indicted to begin with. you can start with a fee on the opioids that are sold and there will be a master settlement with the companies that profited off of people s addictions, that got people hooked. and that s where you get the $100 billion. chris: i want to get to two more subjects, one is immigration.
to bring down tariffs, to raise tariffs at least in the short term which sometimes goes on for a while? yeah. so the way i look at tariffs, they are a tax on the american people. they can only be justified if they are a means to an end. in the case of china, i think we might be pursuing the right end. i think in the case of canada and mexico, for instance, on steel and aluminum, we were not pursuing the right end. i think the changes that the administration has made to nafta actually diminish nafta as a driver of economic growth and prosperity. i think it would be a huge mistake to impose taxes on the auto imports, for instance, from europe and asia. i think that would be a huge cost to consumers without a good objective. so, you know, i m going to continue to push back on the use of national security as a justification for imposing taxes on americans when they choose to purchase products from our neighbors and allies and friends. chris: let me turn subjects with
america s a magnet chris: but let me, if i may, i m running out of senator, just to cut to chase here, because we re running out of time, how would you feel if dhs shipped several hundred migrants to pennsylvania? yeah. we actually do house some migrant families, and that s, you know, a temporary arrangement that is made necessary by the crisis on the border. i d like to fix the crisis so that that s not necessary. chris: okay. let s one last subject i want to talk to you about, and that s iran. over the last week the president has taken a number of measures, he s ordered a carrier strike group to persian gulf. we re sending long-range bombers there. the pentagon at least considered a proposal to send 120,000 u.s. troops to middle east. really two questions. one, do you understand what s going on with u.s. policy in iran, and how do you feel about as you do, if you do
significantly with women in suburban areas. it s one of the reasons that republicans lost the house and there s a concern that if the party is seen as rallying around these state laws, cheering them on through the court system, that that will have a detrimental impact on trump and other republicans in 2020. chris: i thought that as the issue stood right now, with there was a bright to an abortion, the right to an abortion, it energized the pro-life side. if there s a chance they might go up the court system and get to the supreme court and people begin to perceive that roe is under threat, does that change? with the exception of john edwards of louisiana, we ve had a great cultural sort on this issue. the parties are divided on them. the number of pro-life democrats in any office can be counted on one hand. to a certain extent, driving the base on both sides on this issue serves both parties interest. the fact is the president, not
have not gained as much traction so far in the campaign as other candidates, for instance, mayor pete is going to be here for the town hall this evening. oh, chris, i think being in the top 10 in the 25 person race when you re from the middle of the country, in a state that s not as big as some of my colleagues, i think that s pretty good. i wouldn t count me out. everything i ve done in my life, whether taking on 48 hour hospital stays for new moms, i got it done. i was the first woman to run for d.a. in my state in the biggest counties, i got it done. i run for u.s. t senate, running against a congressman and win big-time. i am someone that takes on challenges, and finds a way to get there. no one thought i could raise money when i was running for senate. i finally just called everyone i knew in my life and i raised an all-time senate record, $17,000
