to determine the best way to dispose of it safely. we'll have the update on 9news and 9news.com once the all clear is given by investigators. the only televised debate of the senate campaign, the candidates drew sharp contrasts and offered sharp words. michael bennet and darryl glenn tangled tonight on 9news. glenn declined to say if he still supports the party's presidential nominee donald trump. in the last four >> i'm here because of a ve strong woman and what you saw over that period of time was real frustration and hurt because we should never disrespect women. i grew up in a family with domestic violence. so anybody that puts a hand on or talks about women in that way, it's painful, but what you saw on sunday, you saw an individual that actually made an apology. that if somebody makes an apology, my faith teaches me grace, mercy and respect. so i've extended an invitation that's still out there to have a conversation with mr. trump because i want to know what's in his heart because when we're out there campaigning about the issues that he supports, we're asked those questions. >> senator michael bennet was asked why he still has no regrets about supporting the iranian nuclear deal even if he thinks iran will try to cheat i didn't then and i don't now. before the deal iran had enough to make 10 bombs in iran of enriched uranium. they were two to three months of breaking out with a nuclear weapon is what the intelligence agencies have told us. today iran has less than one bomb's worth of uranium. the plant in iraq is filled they have inspectors all over the place, so i don't trust iraq, but with respect to the nuclear threat itself, it was difficult politically, but it was the right vote to do and i'm glad i cast that. >> 9news political reporter brandon rittiman also moderated tonight's debate with kyle and brandon and other colleagues have been fact checking the statements that were made. so you'll start off with coal. >> yeah. we had some talk about al as glenn put it, the war on coal. he blamed the obama administration for killing the coal industry with regulations. >> the epa regulations, the war on coal, is real. we should be standing up for energy independence and allow all form of energy to occur and allow the market to dictate. >> this claim is an incomplete explanation of what's happening with the coal industry. regulations have hurt. they've made things a lot harder for some coal companies, but the other thing that's killing him is exactly what he said he was in favor of right after that, competition from other kinds of energy, most notably cheap and abundant natural gas outcompeting coal and it's been too much for some coal companies to handle. combine that with the regulation and that can be a potent mix of trouble for some coal companies, but the market itself is already throwing a lot of trouble their way. glenn pushed bennet on his support for the iran deal calling the $400 million exchange for u.s. prisoners ransom. here was bennet's response. >> second, there is nothing that i have heard that suggests that this payment that you describe was ransom. >> he hasn't heard republicans, that's for sure. that needs context. ransom implies the money was given only for the releaseof the prisoners. it is true the united states paid iran $400 million on the released. it is poant to remember, though, that the u.s. owed iran $400 million. it was used as leverage in the exchange, however, and that combined with the timing does leave room for politicians to debate this point. if you want more fact checking of tonight's debate, it's on 9news.com right now. >> that is not a new debate. that's been kicked around for quite some time. >> a lot of national overtones from the presidential race on down. >> thank you. outside the debate history, colorado tonight protesters screamed and slammed against the building's glass windows and doors. a few dozen showed up in support of the green candidate who failed to qualify for the debate not reaching 10% in the polls of manconi has been polling around 2%. we'll look at the ballot questions in november and then on october 20th the 6th congressional district, mike locker room talk has become one of the newest buzz phrases in the presidential race. today broncos quarterback aqib talib was asked what locker room banter is really like. here's what he said. >> there's a lot of locker room comments. we talk about everything in here. trump may fit in in here, who knows?
