Secondly, they will be there longer than anyone else. Health care workers come and go because it is such an intensie environment for them. They may give 430 or 60 days then leave the area. We are going to have our young men and women there for six months of time. Not in direct contact with you paula ebola. They are not held their they are not all health care workers. We factor in science, physics is the science we factored in. This is not about small groups of people who are transient. There is protocols for that. Theres also not about Health Care Professionals in contact with ebola. This is a Major Military operation, and big things on a global scale. We took a conservative approach, and we will assess in 45 days, but we will keep them safe. The other thing i would like to say about that, science does the tate that there is a 21day monitoring science dictates dayt there is a 21 monitoring period. This was reviewed by Health Care Professionals in all the services. Were you concerned this would have a larger impact in the u. S. Or it would drive other governors in states and whatnot i am not unaware of society. But i have one responsibility, and that is the security of this country, and that means the security of our men and women and their families. That is not disconnected from the good of this country. Cannot come at eight cannot be. I thought it would be a smart, prudent,is scienceoriented decision based mainly on what the chairman just articulated, but also the reality what else is going on. The other thing i would say about this, ebola is one of those issues that everyone is paying attention to. There is disagreement across the board on every decision, every issue, and every part of that i decision makers. And at onel that, time i was in that political arena. I have never had a decision made by everyone where everyone thinks it is exactly right. You have to base it on what you think is the right thing for your people, and that is the decision and why we made it. One more question. Very quickly, the new york was sharplyit critical. Do you have reservations about the syria policy, and could you expand upon expanding the mission in akbar . Quite a bit about the serious situation, but i would add to what i already said in answer your turn your question. First, baseline is this is a complicated issue. We are constantly assessing and reassessing and adapting to the realities of what is the best approach, how we can be most effective. That it responsibility of any are a, and because we significant element of this issue, we owed the president and we owed the United NationsSecurity Council our best thinking on this, and it has to be honest and direct. So i would just add that to what i have already said. There are three components to the mission. Security the iraqi forces, including the passion eshmerga, and in the issue of the tribes and trying to find a way and and power or enable them. That is what we are now beginning to explore. You have a program in place where we are beginning to restore some offensive capability and mindset to the Iraqi Security forces. We need to think how to do that with the tribes. We need to make sure the Iraqi Security forces are not spread out in ways that prevent them from supporting each other. Al assad is sitting out there somewhat isolated, seventh division, ninth division, somewhat isolated, so we need to help the Iraqi Security forces to help them link these groups up, and that becomes a platform for reaching out to the tribes. Then the National Guard concept, which the iraqi aches a decision to pass a law will probably begin to implemented sometime in the new calendar year. Those. D all three of right now we are focused on the Iraqi Security forces. Happy halloween. Secretary hagel answering questions about the newly announced policy, the 21day you policy of military personnel coming in from west african countries. Today at the ideas form, secretary of state john kerry was asked why reported slur by an unidentified white house official about the alleged strains between the u. S. And israel. Kerrys secretary t response. Josh earnest came out with a comment about the u. S. Israel relationship, that it transcends individual leaders. Jeffrey goldberg, my colleague i heard the article what is the american long game that keeps ripping itself apart . Me, as everybodyga knows from the investment i made last to come is find a way to make peace in the middle east. We still believe it is doable. Strength. Es kurds, you have to be prepared, both sides have to be prepared to compromise in order to do it. I thinkhat i know, and all of you know this this early and intellectually viscerally and intellectually, and i have asked this question of the the greatt one of challenges for israel is obviously not to be a national state, it wants to be a jewish state. To be a jewish state, you clearly have to resolve the issue of two states. If you do not, then you are a unitary state and people have equal rights to vote and participate as citizens, is a asrael going to have palestinian Prime Minister . I do not think so, not going to happen. Therefore, what is the solution here, how do you move forward, and what we are trained to do is evenhandedly and hopefully israelslly strengthen ability to be free of rockets, not strengthened, to make it free of rockets, to end this perpetual conflict in a way that provides for the complete security of israel, which has a right, totally, to be free of into its country, terrorists to be out of a tell with handcuffs, tranquilizer drugs, guns no country would tolerate that. Do you think it is time for you or the president be a little bit more evocative in terms of defining what you think the deal would look like work, i think we need to quietly and effectively and we condemn anybody who uses light would such as was used in this article that does not reflect the president , does not reflect me, it is disgraceful, and iptable, damaging, think neither president obama nor i i have never heard that me in the white house. I do not know who these anonymous people are, but they difficult,uch more and we are proud of what we have done to help israel through a very good difficult time. President obama is the person who committed to iron dome. He made it happen. President obama has consistently he was supportive of israels right to defend itself in this recent more. At the same time, the president wants to try to nurse the parties together to resolve these differences. On that later in our schedule also on cspan. Org. Later in our schedule, our campaign 2014 debate coverage five days until election day. We start tonight with the illinois governors debate, pat quinn facing bruce rauner. Acent polls showing the race dead heat. It 00 eastern. In new york, andrew cuomo tonight in a debate facing rob two independence. Here is a look at some of the ads that the new york residents are seeing. Five, two, three, four, seven, six, six 10, 9, 8, 7 2, 1 these are the stakes. To be reelected a governor and and up in jail . Can we trust ultraconservative rob astorino . When he ran for Westchester County executive, he promised to cut property taxes 20 . Then he broke his word and vetoed a property tax cut. Under as to reno, westchester has the highest property taxes not only in new york but in the nation. The highest property taxes in the nation. If you cannot trust him to manage property taxes in westchester, you could never trust him as governor. The governor is supposed to represent all the people, but andrew cuomo only represents elitist liberals in the city. Cuomo does not care about you. Thats why cuomo forced extreme gun control. Cuomo banned popular rifles, magazines, and violated the privacy of lawabiding gun owners. Andrew cuomo took constitutional freedoms away from you. Take the Governors Office away from him. Trust is everything to me. That is why for all we have accomplished to fix state government, our job is not done until we have cleaned up the legislative corruption in albany, so i am appointing a new independent commission, led by top Law Enforcement officials all across this great state, to investigate and prosecute wrongdoing. The politicians in albany will not like it, but i work for the people, and i wont stop fighting until we all have a government that we can trust. Andrew cuomo is spending millions of our tax dollars on ads that are not true. Guess what state ranks dead last in economic outlook. Cuomos new york. Has the highest property taxes in the nation . Cuomos new york. Cuomos new york. Andrew cuomos policies have new york last into many had a glorious. Historyork has a proud against discrimination. Astorino is the only county executive in the nation to refuses to comply. Diehard resistance to civil rights laws that did not work for the south a half a century ago will not working now. He is wrong for new york. Jeanneew hampshire, shaheen is looking for a second term. Real clear politics says is a tossup. Senator shaheen has a small lead in most polls.

Im definitely going to change. I have never voted to outsource jobs. Your involvement of a company you are on the board whose business practice includes shipping jobs overseas to minimize costs, outsourcing. I have never voted to outsource jobs. Its interesting when you look at that. [laughter] anyone who turns on the tv these days knows we face challenges to our way of life. Radical islamic terrorists are threatening to cut the crust to our country. I want to secure the border, keep out the people who would do us harm, and restore americas leadership in the world.

I am grateful the people of South Carolina afforded me the opportunity to serve them from county council to the statehouse, and now the United States senate. It is one of the greatest honors of my life. Im here tonight because life has not always been easy. I have learned important lessons and met remarkable people and have benefited from the strength and blessings of the great state of South Carolina. Our nation faces many challenges today. I prefer to see them as opportunities because i believe the best is yet to come. My commitment to you is simple. Every single day, i will work very hard to afford all south carolinians opportunities to succeed. I focus on education and jobs. I believe we will have the tools necessary to succeed. God bless you.

Tonight you have the opportunity to interview all three candidates and determine who is the best candidate for the role of u. S. Senator.

I want a better america for our future, which includes a strong economy, Strong Military, term limits, Campaign Finance reform, and tax reform. Im asking for your vote, and i hope tonight you will make a decision on the person and not the party. Thank you. Good afternoon. Thank you for having us. We are so grateful. I am running for the United States senate because i believe that this is a humbling opportunity for me to present to the people of South Carolina a new idea, a new person who will always be there for them, who will stand for them, who will want to serve them in every way they possibly can. I am focused on our seniors, i am focused on our veterans, and i am focused on womens issues. Those are the three main issues i will be focusing on tonight. I believe this is the greatest opportunity for me to represent the people of this state and the nation. I am here tonight to ask for the people of South Carolina for your vote and for your support on november 4. Thank you. Let me start with you, senator scott. You got a free pass to the senate. You didnt have to run the state and now you are running statewide for the first time. Why should you have the benefit of incumbency . I dont think the benefit of incumbency is what it used to be. I have spent monday through thursday in washington. I come back home every weekend to go to my own church, hanging with my grandfather, take my mom to lunch because these are the reasons why i serve. I look at my nephew and say to myself i can prepare a future for him. That is why we came up with the opportunity agenda that focuses on education, skills in the workplace, and focuses on allowing people to earn while they learn. People that Like Washington are very few. If it wasnt for relatives are not sure we would be popular at all. The truth of the matter is incumbency has major negatives. I look forward to not running on the fact that i am in office, but running on the fact that i love South Carolina. I have benefited from being a south carolinian. And standing strong with me, and forcing me to look in the mirror and take responsibility. I am running because it is an opportunity to continue to serve from my days on county counsel, being elected twice to congress, and now having an opportunity to ask you for your vote to the United States senate. Let me ask a slightly different version of what is essentially the same question to the two of you. Senator scott has the somewhat tenuous hold on incumbency. But he does have washington experience that you dont. Why should South Carolina voters give that up . I think what we have to understand is that a lot of the voters these days dont like what is going on in washington. They are asking for something to change. It doesnt matter whether they are on the right or left. I think the majority of americans are somewhere in the middle. What we have seen go on in washington with the gridlock, with hyperpartisanship, with the fighting, it is not short of untenable for us as citizens to accept that this is what we are paying our representatives to do. What we want our representatives to do is go to washington, d. C. , sit down, negotiate, talk, find ways to fix what is broken with america. Weve got a 17. 6 trillion debt. Weve got an economy that is still struggling along. We need to restore the middle class. They have been eviscerated by the great recession. We have got to work for our vets. We have to work with our military. I have three of my four children served in the military or are serving in the military. We have got a lot of work to do. I have two sons who are still in active duty and could be called up at any time. There is a lot of work that needs to be done. Incumbency is too much on how long they have been there. I am a big supporter of term limits and Campaign Finance reform. That is why i am here. Same question. I am here because i believe in the people of South Carolina. I believe it is time for a change and people are looking for a person that will have their interest. I am here because people have asked me as i have traveled all over this state, 46 counties in this state, i have listened to the people, i have heard them talk around their kitchen tables, saying how they are having a hard time making ends meet. Im hearing people say they are kicked off their insurance. I am hearing people all over this county talk about what they need and how washington is broke and how we need to fix it. They are looking for new people with new ideas, to go there, to help them be their voice, someone who will listen to them and take their interests at heart. This is why i am here. This
