reality. a choice, to spend vacation dollars somewhere other than southwestern colorado would have a severe impact for small business owners who rely on that tourism income. we all want a fast solution to this spill. but throwing it onto silverton and durango when other equally and effective options could be available could have serious consequences for these communities and beyond. i've always believed that local communities know what's best for themselves. they have an intimate understanding of their hometown economies and hear firsthand from their customers about why they visit the area. so planning government's judgment with their on-the-ground knowledge stands to hurt the economic harm already done to this area. we should see solutions to address these problems in the hands of the folks on the ground who have been working to solve these problems for years. the good samaritan approach i have been broaching, please be able to see both our senators from the state of colorado here who join with us in that concept of being able to address the problem and make sure we're achieving a p

it's a media bias. >> why colorado? i watched all day, i watched the last couple of days, they're going to, they're going to highlight colorado. they want colorado. the democrats want colorado. >> no, the republicans. >> and it's also a very liberal campus as well. boulder, colorado. >> there's a lot of places you could go in colorado. for example, one of the things that hillary clinton did in her announcement speech, she said she's going to go after wall street and carried interest. no one follows up and says what do you mean by that? how do you explain carried interest. tonight i think the moderators are going to force the republicans to try to get boring. but yet you still are trying to appeal to a broader a you had yens. >> speaking of something that isn't boring, kimberly. the huge scandal over the green rooms, have you been following this? >> yes. i'm still leading our own green room scandals. >> no diet coke. >> donald trump has the best one, right? it's a huge, i think marco rubio has almost like a film, home theater. carly has a jacuzzi. that's not a lie. >> i want that o

, sit at the table and come up with a consensus. and so what happened in colorado and st. louis is just very powerful data. it over a five year period at least in colorado, and i will quote that study, the number of unplanned pregnancies went down 40% in the 15-19 year age group. and the number of abortions went down 42%. those are good numbers. i think the message that i try to give our colleagues enrichment is that let's at least agree that the last abortions a better. so if we can agree on that then we can move forward, and then i will start talk about some of the data from st. louis and colorado to hopefully make the case that this is actually a good direction to go in. so that's what we are involved in. to last point i'd like to me, and i certainly don't want to go over my time limit. i see these cards over here. one minute, three minutes, 50 i feel like i'm in a debate that i start having flashbacks but i did want to make -- >> we will be in a debate. [laughter] spent i promise you i don't want to do that. but we have come to our two issues i want to talk briefly. the first is the

berg. >> i have a suggestion about how to dance the debate we mentioned the colorado situation for extending birth control and despite the fact one of the most conservative members led the fight against his own party. >> that is the great suggestion we will take you up on that. [applause] we will bring up more opinions. [inaudible conversations] >> now we have the distinguished panel you have memorized my last slide if you were more successful to reduce the unplanned pregnancies people have thought about it so they will dig into some of these issues. and with the typical response it is amazing how much she knows to be up on the hill. i call and then she tells me who to call. and with the things that i have heard. initiative very concerned about that the governor brought up and then with racial issues to be sophisticated about it. or we could do things that our wrong. hit then to move to another city to go upstream and with birth control measures. ratios - - rachel's reaction was so god.

, colorado. but in all previous elections before 2012, the military service record of one or more of the candidates came up as an issue. not just as an issue as to whether or not it was a good qualifications for that candidate. since vietnam, the military service of various candidates in every election since that war has been an issue about which there has been some political discussion or some controversy. it happens in every single election. take, for example, the race in 1988. that race was then george h.w. bush running to succeed ronald reagan. george h.w. bush had a heroic, storied career, he went through some of the horrors of world war ii, and served with incredible distinction. vice president bush picked as his running mate dan quayle. in that 1988 race, i think it's kind of forgotten now, but the bush/quayle got criticism that during vietnam, young dan quayle did not serve. instead he got himself a coveted position in the indiana national guard, which had the effect basically of insulating him from any real threat of being sent over to the fight. that apparently stung the bush/q

off 9% to 102.35. >> tomorrow night in boulder, colorado, the republican party will hold its third presidential debate. this one will focus on the economy. we will likely hear every candidate talk about creating more jobs, especially manufacturing jobs. but as phil la bowl reports from colorado springs, getting millions of jobs back on the shop floors is a promise few politicians have fulfilled. >> candidates love talking about creating more blue collar jobs. jim james has heard it for years. he runs ideal industries which employs almost 2,000 people making tools at 16 u.s. plants. he says to manufacture in america, you have to compete globally. >> our customers can only afford so much to pay for certain products. and if we can't get our costs in line, then you know, you've got to go where you can get your costs in line. so unless our products can differentiate greater than what's coming in from offshore, we're going to be at a disadvantage always. >> so ideal has to do more with fewer workers. in fact, the company is laying off up to 150 employees at this plant independent colorad

families and communities. mr. president, just look at what they're doing in colorado springs, colorado. potholes of colorado springs draws the attention of koch brothers' group. this is a headline from last weekend's "washington post." the koch brothers are fighting the city's efforts to fix its crumbling roads. reading directly from the article -- and i quote -- "this much everyone can agree on, the streets of this large city on the rocky mount front range are a wreck. 60% are in disrepair, cracked and rutted. driving on them is often a game of vehicular mine sweeper. one local tv news channel runs a segment called pothole patrol. i continue the quote. when this city's newly elected conservative mayor urged voters to approve an increase in sales tax to improve roads he drew fire from an unexpected source, a branch of americans for prosperity, a powerful conservative group backed by the koch brothers. the koch brothers are willing to attack everyone, even conservative republicans who cross their extreme agenda. this is the basic work of government the koch brothers want to destroy. all

come up with a consensus. so what happened in colorado and st. louis is very powerful data. over a five-year period, at least in colorado, and i will quote that study, the number of unplanned pregnancies went down 40% in the 15 to 19 year age group. the number or abortions when -- went down 42%. the message that i try to give my colleagues in richmond is that let's at least agree that the less abortions the better. if we can agree on that, then we can move forward. then i will start talking about some of the data from colorado to make the case this is actually a good direction to go in. so that's what we're involved in. two last points i'd like to make, and i certainly don't want to go over the time limit. i see these cards over here. one minute, three minute. i feel like i'm in a debate. i start having flashbacks. [laughter] i promise you, i don't want to do that. there's two more issues i just want to talk briefly. the first is the affordable care act, which as you know, covers all forms of contraception. and as part of the affordable care act, we have medicaid expansion, which i

. welcome to "hardball." >>> good evening, i'm chris matthews in boulder, colorado, the site of tonight's cnbc republican presidential debate. and i will admit, it's hard for me to get my head around the chaos of the republican fight for president right now. are the majority of the republican voters so unhappy with their usual leaders, their governors like bush and christie and kasich, they are determined to pick a defiant outlier like trump, carson, fiorina or cruz, or are they ready to just give up the revolution and fall into line? or, is one candidate cute enough politically, marco rubio, to appeal to both catmps, the establishment and the renegades? more immediately, are those on the hard right attracted more to a canned the da, donald trump, who knows something about the economy or one who seems more in league with their religious values, dr. ben carson? well, these are fairly basic questions for a party to be considering this late in the game. selection of 2016 is one that really counts, of course, it is going to set a direction for the country, no matter which party wins
