Governor kasich is there a path for you to get 1,237 delegates or to secure the nomination of your party will it have to be a brokered convention and if so do you fear a ruptured Republican Party . We picked about half of the delegates. Theres a poll i cant remember but at nbc somebody trump was at 27 cruz at 25 and i was at 24. It is really jammed and close. I think is possible this year, greta that somebody could get there. It is possible but probably not. Can you go to a convention and come out united . Absolutely. I was a mere child when governor reagan at the time challenged ford. Ford beat him at the election. I was there. I was managing five states for governor reagan. It was the coolest thing in the world. I showed up at the convention and this guy was working, wanted me to help him. I welcomed him can you handle five states for governor reagan . I said absolutely. I ran five states for them. We lost we came out united. I think the delegates are serious about becoming commanderinchief and the president of the United States. You had a big night in michigan virtual tie for second place and fox news poll has you in your home state up by five points. You better win ohio, right . It is not a question for me. I am working arred there now. I will go down for the debate i am back and i am living in ohio all over the state. I assume you are going to ask for an endorsement. Not necessarily. What are you going to say to him . About whi will have a chat. About what . Will he want to know how it is going. I will tell him how it is going. Hes following. It is a funny thing i will probably ask him to support me, but i am going to tell him whats going on out here. What he is concerned about is having somebody who can run the country and somebody who has experience and all of that. I am looking forward to seeing jeb. He campaigned for me. We will see what happens. We wake up this morning the iranians have tested two Ballistic Missiles and you are going to wipe israel off the map. Does it violate u. S. Security Council Resolutions and what are you going to do . I would want to hear all of the details. What i would say after learning about the details is i would actually move to suspend the nuclear agreement. This need a missile test. The inflammatory language about destroying israel is so bad such a violation of the spirit of agreement. I would suspend it and allies to suspend it. We tried to make an agreement with you but this is not just about the crossed ts and dotted ooishgs this is about the spirit of the agreement which you have violated. Thats what i would do. I have served on the Arms Services committee for 18 years. After 911 secretary rumsfeld invited me into the pentagon after 911 to help with some of the problems we have had. I didnt say we need to rip it up on day one. If i were president i would call them and say i am sorry but we are suspending this agreement. It may not be a direct violation it is a violation of the whole intent of the improving of relations. I would say you get your act together and get back to us. We have a question from an audience member nicole. Have you decided and secondly whats your question . I am a registered republican voter in illinois. I am undecided. I am a 2015 College Graduate i have seen a lot of my friends really struggle to find post graduate employment either settling for jobs they are over qualified for or arent finding anything at all. All of these free college promises arent all they are cracked up to be because more people will graduate with degrees. There are more things we can do to drive down the cost of Higher Education. I was in michigan the other day. Do you know that you can go two years to a Community College in michigan and it would cost you 6,000 . You can transfer all of those credits to a fouryear school . Can you image how much money you save when you do that . Community College Experience is one we all ought to think about. If we dont get a handle on these costs i think these four years schools are going to be disintermediated there is going to be traum mdramatic change iny we approach them. We have to have a growing economy. Takes four things. One it takes reasonable regulations so you dont crush Small Business. When you over regulate and kill Small Business when you kill there you are killing jobs for somebody like you. You need to lower taxes all of the time on businesses because it sends a message to job creators. You have to have a plan for fiscal sanity. I made a speech one time back when i was in congress. I sawed Congress Spends like a drunken sailor. The woman wrote me a letter she said i am deeply offended because my husband is draung ensailor. In my state i would urge them all to do when you enter a twoyear or Community College where you pick up experience and go to the fouryear school what are the jobs that are available what is your passion. Do you know what that job pays . This is what it takes for to you get one. In other words, we need to have somebody guiding us all of the way through our Higher Education experience so we dont ring up all of this debt and we go we would like to get jobs but there are no jobs. We know what the indy manned jobs are and we need to train them based on what you want to do in life. Does that make sense to you . Oo let me tell you sometimes people say is kasich tough enough . I am telling my university you do this. Dont mess around with me on this. I dont want them Walking Around for two or three years ringing up et debt and worse off if they had never gone. Our universities are doing this and we need to do it k through 12. We are doing it in our state telling young people about occupations, what does a weather man do what does a police woman do . What does a teacher do . As we get older it becomes more sophisticated. It begins to realize a path for them basically on the direction they want to go. So that is the way i think we have to think about it. How are you going to get colleges to do that . I tell how i get them to do it. You are going to do it or you dont get any capitol dollars ov from me. You have to have leverage. One of the things i would do as president is to show the governors across this country and legislators about what leverage is. Frankly they want to do it. They need to understand you cant have people graduating without degrees, without jobs, and they are a lot of Higher Education institutions in this country that have 80, 90 percent graduation with 80, 90 percent in a position of where they can get a job. When they do it right it is really cool. When they do it wrong they need to change. Let me ask another question. Suppose you are a 55yearold man or woman you have two kids in high school you worked for a company 20year the, and you are out there and you are worried to death. What do you tell that person . That is one of the scare yetts things. These are sort of the trump supporters. I am 55 years old i lost my job. You go home fill out a resume this is going to work out for me and you never get hired. It is a scary proposition for a man and a woman and over time you feel like you are losing your dig dignity. Number one theres always the access to the Community College and always access to Community College and the skills we have to for jobs we exist. You have the skills and you are not trying to get them. We are trying to push on this. There are many job openings in illinois and ohio all across this country. What we want to do is get blocks of companies to come together and put online an Education Program that if they complete it they will be guaranteed an interview with the company that is involved in putting the curriculum together. You are not working a lot of money you are in mcdonald you have a couple kids you are a woman. You want to work in healthcare and the hospital. We can get our hospitals to put together like our Insurance Companies do, a curriculum, you can take it at your speed you can pass the course you are guaranteed an interview with that company. Those are the kinds of things we ought to be doing. These are real issues. Why did they lose their job . I want to move job training back to the states. The way the federal Government Works now is you have to lose your job basically before you have to lose your job before they will train you for another job you dont even have. Why dont we keep them and train them so they dont lose their job. Thats the way normal people would do it. Governor . You have a question for an audience member. Chelsea have you decided or not and then your question, please. I have not decided yet. Thank you for joining us tonight. I go to university of chicago and education is important to me. I grew up in a small farming town in wisconsin. Our Public Schools had trouble with learning materials. They go on to work on the family farm the military or vocational school. At college i sometimes feel further behind than other students on my reading and math skills. As president what will you do to make sure that by putting education in a state and local level that you wont leave behind College Bound students . Theres a lot you said there. Let me tell you what there are 104 federal Education Programs that i would put into four buckets including special education and ship it to the states. I believe the best way to fix our schools is at the state and local or school board level. applause everybody like that idea. We could be doing it now. What frustrates me you want to have better education what are you waiting on . Theres nobody stopping you from doing it. I call my daughters principle. Part of it is for us to dig in. You see a lot of entrepreneurs dedicating themselves to fix the local schools where they live. God bless them. I believe you should have vocational education. You should start it in the 7th grade but it should not disqualify you from going to the fouryear degree or twoyear or Community College. For the College Students i think we should be able to take College Credit courses when you are in high school. We call it College Credit plus in ohio. At the same time if you get to be a senior if you dont pass the math and the english tests you have to pay tuition to take it in college we should ram mediate it online before you even get out. There are a lot of things we can do but it rests on the school board. My job as the president would be to travel the country talking about the things that are working. That is the beauty to muffling things to the states. In washington theres no any innovation. I wish somebody had a smart phone. This is the first time i have been in a room and not seen a smart phone. We took them away from them. If you think about a smart phone. Everything is changing. Everything is going at the speed of light. Communications. You are not even going to the store to shop any more. Medicine is changing. It is more personalized. The transportation. I mean uber and everything else. By the way government is trying to kill uber because the taxi union. They shouldnt do that. Heres the point. Erg in our country is changing. If you were a business and you were not changing, rapidly, you die. You go out of business. If you are in the government you are not changing we ring up debt we to pay for. We have to move power money and influence out of washington back to where we live. Once it is back here you have to change the world. You have to take it up. Governor there are many people in your party on the far right they hate common core. Is there sort of a oneminute persuasive thing you can make that electrifies a lot of people in your party . What we do is our state board approves the standards. We want high standards with local control. Why does your party hate it . They got on the internet they thought it was washington dictating something. Every state should handle it the way you want to. They dont have the highest standards in ohio. We have reemphasized in our budgets this is the job of the school boards. If you dont have high standards kids dont get trained they cant get jobs. We dont want washington running this.

Welcome back to our live on the record 2016 town hall with Governor John Kasich. We are coming to you live where next week illinois voters will hit the polls. Get right back to our questions from our audience with Governor John Kasich. Paul, have you decided and what is your question . I am undecided right now. Thank you for joining us tonight. I am a student from new jersey. I was wondering so candidates on both side of the isle have spoken aggressively strongly against free trade particularly talking about the Transpacific Partnership or with regards to companies that out source jobs. I was wondering what your stants was on and a half taw and the tpp especially with regards to the american economy. I voted for and a half taw. The whole purpose was to bring down the barriers to the United States being able to shipt products over there. There are 38 million americans who have jobs that are connected to the trade. One of ever rye five americans some say we are not trading with anybody. What do you think will happen . The price will go up they will buy less of it and people will lose their jobs. The problem with trade is we have been arrogant about when companies when they are dumping seal they were selling it below the price of making it. In ohio they were hurting u. S. Steel that was investing. We need an extra dieted process to deal with countries that cheat so we dont go to an International Bureaucracy spend three years to figure it out and say yeah, we won and everybody is out of work. I want an expedited process. I kwworry about manipulation in some of the griements. This issue called origin where are the parts in your vehicle. I dont want to get all detailed about this. This is what i think. I have always had this position. We need free trade but we need fair trade. When we see violations out there we must act unilaterally to protect peoples jobs and be careful about it because you dont want it to swing around and not know what you are talking about. In the case of south korea we should have stopped the imports immediately. We have to be global no question about it. We have to have better rules when it comes to trade. When people violate them we have to hold them accountable for it. What about where someone do violate the rules but an airconditioning company decides to move all to mexico because they can find cheaper labor and it wipes out a town of indiana because it is not just the companies losing their job it hurts the industry and the town. We had one big company that was going to move. I told them if you are going to move and send stuff back to the United States you are jeopardizing the public support for trade in the country. There is more to life than serving money. I know how Companies Work and there is a value that under pins the profit. And look, sometimes companies are not going to make enough money here. You cant put a wall up. They are not moving anyway. We now have a thousand jobs with a chinese investor. We used to have you have to have ohioans working. P works both ways. We have to take advantage of low Energy Prices access to the American Market and Skilled Labor and work force. Now the star where i was today they are expanding their employment in the United States. It is a complicated issue. What i would tell you is, my family, my father carried mail on his back. My uncle worked in steel mills thats where i grew up. I am not going to permit the sort of trade thats going to rip us off or deindustrialize us. I have a question. Steven. Are you decided and can we have a question for the governor . I am undecided and thank you governor. Welcome to the windy city. Some candidates have a harder time than others of giving us specific ideas of what that should look like. As a future physician i wonder for your vision of healthcare policy in the few fewer what is the appropriate role in the state for healthcare and how do we bring down costs increase accessibility an
