Donald trump has demonstrated particularly this week that he is singularly not qualified to be our commanderinchief. On the National Security fund we have talked about having russia hacked our Computer Systems and using Nuclear Weapons and its very disturbing to me what we have learned about these tapes. Senator burr s. By donald trump during all of this and i think that shows a lack of judgment. What i want to do is get up every morning and work for the people of North Carolina every day and you can trust me. Burr i think the lack of judgment is a decision for a topsecret and special Access Programs from an unsecure server where our enemy can access it. I think that judgment is when one chooses to lie about emails to the American People and to lie about things like benghazi where four american soldiers lost their lives. The son of a minister my dad taught me when someone asked for forgiveness you grant it. Im not going to defend donald trump and what he said or his actions. Ive spoken out quickly and loudly when i disagree with something. But when i look at our choice its not close for me. Im going to support my nominee. Im going to support donald trump. Ross senator burr has toed the party line even when donald trump has crossed the line. The important thing for the people of North Carolina is to have the government that keeps us safe, that cares about their everyday problems and it works every single day at their job. I will do that for the people of North Carolina. Moderator mr. Burr you are not only a donald trump supporter, you are donald trump advisor. Just last week you were named trumps National Security advisory council. We had a group of 50 Top RepublicanNational Security officials some that you respect greatly like michael dave you said trump the quote the most reckless president in american history. Can you say is the current chairman of the Senate Intelligence committee you have no concerns about donald trump . Burr i have more concerns about Hillary Clinton because of her lack of judgment, because of the way she has handled her official business as secretary of state and let me just remind you i have criticized donald trump. Ms. Ross hasnt criticized Hillary Clinton for one of these acts. I dont blindly go into this. I assess it. You talk about a rubber stamp, the rubberstamp is for the Clinton Administration but jonathan you know me. I will help whoever is in leadership to try to bestow what i know and what i have learned as chairman of the Senate Intelligence committee and ive done that in the Trump Administration but many of your Senate Colleagues in the past ever scented their support of trump in wake of the 2005 video with the lewd comments about women and now we see in the past 24 hours several women come forward and say they were touched or kissed by mr. Trump without their consent. Trump is denied those charges but until now he said he has asked for forgiveness but do you consider the behavior that donald trump himself described in that video to be Sexual Assault . Burr if in fact he did it that would be Sexual Assault. I take him at his word. He said he didnt do it. Now lets address how many members have abandoned him. Five republicans publicly since this news came out last friday out of 54 . There are many republicans in United States senate so lets make sure that we accurately described what has transpired. Ross thank you so much for that question jonathan. I want to be clear and to put it on the record that i believe the way Hillary Clinton handled her emails was inappropriate. She has said so and ive made it very very clear from the beginning of my campaign that i think she did not do well by her emails. Donald trump is an entirely different matter. Donald trump has encouraged people to hack into our email servers. He has talked about the nuclear code as you have mentioned that he has bragged about assaulting women. I completely understand forgiveness. You can forgive somebody that you do not trust that same person with the awesome responsibility of commanderinchief. Donald trump is not qualified to be president. Burr i think i heard ms. Ross say donald trunk donald trump has allowed them to hack into our email system. We have a thread from nationstates and from individuals. The next leader will have to decide how we are going to secure americas infrastructure, both critical and from the standpoint of our top secret backdrops. Hillary clinton as already proven that she has a disregard for it. Im not sure how you can be critical and not the explosive when you see what she has said. Moderator lets turn now to health care. Ms. Ross bill clinton recently referred to aspects of the Affordable Care act is quote the craziest thing in the world but in North Carolina we have a situation where 90 of the counties will soon offer only one insurance option in the marketplace, blue cross and blue shield. Last year blue cross and blue shield raised premiums by 32 . They said therell be another increase this year so my question to you is two parts. First, if you have been in the senate in 2009 would you have voted upordown vote would you have voted for obamacare and what would you do to fix fix it . Ross the Affordable Care act clearly needs to be fixed but its much better than what we have had before when Insurance Companies could deny you coverage for preexisting conditions and women are denied the same rates as men. Senator burr would like to completely repeal the Affordable Care act and return it back to the private Insurance Companies and we know what kind of service to god at that point. He has also taken more than a Million Dollars from the Insurance Companies with not a surprise that would be a solution. Let me tell you about a man i have met in troy North Carolina. He couldnt get Health Insurance before the Affordable Care act. He was 1400 a month. After the Affordable Care act to cut Health Insurance and his wife got him to go to the doctor. He found that he had dance Prostate Cancer and because he had insurance to save his life. We simply cant go backwards and their state legislature, and theres a lot of blame for the Rising Health care costs because it refused to extend medicaid and we need to fix fix it fix ie cannot tour together. Moderator i asked if he had been in the senate in 2009 when thousand nine when it was voted on would you voted in favor of the Affordable Care act . Ross i would have voted in favor of the Affordable Care act to kiss its better than what we had. If id been in the senate in 2009 i would have had an opportunity to make amendments to the bill to talk to the people in North Carolina to work with their legislatures and make sure they expanded medicaid particularly in our rural areas and i would have rolled up my sleeves and try to make our Health Care System the best it could possibly be. Senator burr again would have turned over to the private Insurance Companies. Moderator mr. Burr. Burr let me say obama cares on by the private care. Those were the people there the people that run exchanges. Was never the federal government took the respirator rest. It was blue cross and blue shield of North Carolina. They were one of the last ones and cover 60. Of the state. That was president obama the set if you like to plan you get to keep it. Governor mark dayton said this week the reality is the Affordable Care act is no longer affordable for an increasing number of people. This week the administration started sending to beneficiaries whose insurers have left a notice that said you either need to opt out of the Affordable Care act or the government will assign you your private sector carrier. Governmentrun health care is already karen is called obamacare. Ross senator burr doesnt like obamacare but he also wants to have the private Insurance Companies be in charge. We need to get a handle on this. We need to give consumers more choice. We could have Consumers Choice with nonprofits with costs like they have done in other states but we also have to recognize the North CarolinaGeneral Assembly did not do its job by extending medicaid and senator burrs answers are on the private sector. Moderator the shooting death of Keith Lamont Scott sparked mr. Burr to understand the anger that jurupas protests and you say theres a systemic problem in this country of racial bias and Law Enforcement . Burr jonathan eig to understand. I grew up in a time where riots, when i was a young boy in winstonsalem happen. This is very different today though. Its for a different reason. The trust with Law Enforcement doesnt exist. The Community Responsibility with Community Leaders and Law Enforcement has to reach out to those neighborhoods that could possibly feel disenfranchised. In many cases holding a school and building a Health Care Clinic isnt enough. We have got to go into these neighborhoods and create jobs. We have got to find a pathway so these kids get a good education. We have to make sure we may look down the road, they know that employment is a real opportunity and most of the cities we have seen this problem they have had huge unemployment and no hope of a job. Moderator is there a problem with racial bias and Law Enforcement . Burr im probably the last one i would try to answer that because department by department and city by city i dont think people get into Law Enforcement to carry out any personal bias so i would have a very difficult time believing that. In the case of charlotte, it was africanamerican officers and im not sure that they are going to show a racial bias. Ross this is such an important question not just for charlotte but for entire country because we have seen incidents of conflicts with the Africanamerican Community and our Law Enforcement all over the country. Right after the incidents happened in charlotte i was on the phone with leaders in the community, with members of the clergy and with citizens. We need to make sure that Law Enforcement and the Africanamerican CommunityWork Together for the safety of everybody. I have experience working on racial bias issues. Ive worked on one of the most comprehensive antiracial profiling laws in the country and i did it with the head of the Highway Patrol and with the secretary of public safety. We also need more Community Policing for Law Enforcement communities Work Together. I worked on those issues too. Senator burr voted against increasing Community Policing and cuts to Community Policing in the senate. I would not do that. We need to promote communities together. Burr jonathan theres a rule of law in the United States and the fact salute late crucial to follow. Its a process and investigations. We have got to ask our citizens, but these investments geishas take place. The rule of old law in america means we are going to hold some responsibility something wrong. The fact is she spent a lifetime standing up for criminals, not for victims of criminals. Moderator what was your reaction when you saw that video burr i actually found it to be on the part of Law Enforcement and effort to try to get somebody to obey their commands and that command was to drop whatever was in his hand which they thought was a done. Moderator lets move to Foreign Policy. Ms. Ross we may be in the most most greatest humanitarian crisis. In aleppo hundreds have been killed and more are killed every day. So my question is does the United States have a moral imperative to do more to stop the killing of children and their families and what specific action do you think the United States should be involved in . Ross the crisis in syria is something that has been intractable for a while. We have tried to be able to have ceasefires with the russians and the syrians and that has not been successful. Ultimately for the Syrian People we are going to have to come together as an International Community and stop what is going on in syria. But what we have got that the refugee crisis can be dealt with by having nofly zones over syria, making sure that we have good vetting programs that protect our people but also let people in for me no that theyre not going to be a threat to the United States. Ive been to a refugee camp in jordan after the iraq war and its scene of devastation. We need to make sure that we Work Together as an International Community to stop the slaughter in syria but also to make sure that we take care of the refugees. Moderator should u. S. Ground forces family table to deal with the humanitarian crisis or with isis . Ross we need to go after isis. We need to do that primarily with airstrikes in working with u. S. Ground forces with our allies on the ground to take back territory. In syria think making sure their nofly zones in order to protect the refugees are folks who would be refugees would be a good first step. Burr jonathan eig called for safe zones three years ago from the Obama Administration and they said they couldnt do it. What we have seen is over 300,000 syrian women and children killed. They been killed by chlorine barrel bombs dropped by bashar assad and most recently we think russia. Only one person appeared has sat across the table from bashar assad. I know him to be a ruthless man but this is genocide and america has never stood by and watched genocide is not reacted. Now is the time for us to create safe zones with of these women and children can go to bed at night and be saved, leverage our gulf state partners who have offered 30,000 physical troops to maintain the physical security and use our airpower until the russians and the syrians fly anywhere near here and will shoot you out of the air. Moderator u. S. Ground forces should be on the table . Burr Ground Forces are not needed based upon safe zones because we have been offered 30,000 gulf state troops from the gulf state partners to handle the physical security of those safe zones. Ross we need to make sure that we deal with this syrian conflict in syria. Senator burr has talked about his position as the head of the Intelligence Commission committee but having that position doesnt necessarily mean he has done everything that he can to make people in serious safe and to make us safe. It threatened to shut down the department of Homeland Security over a spat with the president about how we deal with immigration. He also hasnt always made sure that we deal with isis and made direct way. Moderator mr. Burr the u. S. Intelligence committee named russias responsible for the hacks for all of the Democratic Party. Donald trumps made it clear he doubts that finding. You are chair of the Senate Intelligence committee. Who do you think is right about this, your partys nominee or the 16 agencies who make up the u. S. Intelligence committee . Burr jonathan i will limit my answer to say that the director of the National Security has made a statement in that he named the russians and i will stand by with statement he has made. Moderator would he think that should be done
