CNN Debate: Walker & EPA Overreach
Walker Has Been A Fierce Critic Of The EPA’s Overreach And Its Cap-And-Trade Policies
In April 2015, Wisconsin “Joined A Federal Lawsuit Challenging New Limits On Carbon Emissions From Power Plants.” “The state of Wisconsin has joined a federal lawsuit challenging new limits on carbon emissions from power plants. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on Wednesday granted the state’s request filed last month to join 13 other states in the lawsuit brought last year by Murray Energy Corp., one of the nation’s largest coal companies.” (“Wisconsin Joins Federal Lawsuit Over EPA’s Carbon Emissions Rules,” The Associated Press, 4/8/15)
“Gov. Scott Walker, A Supporter Of The Lawsuit, Has Said That The Limits Would Be Devastating For Wisconsin Manufacturers.” (“Wisconsin Joins Federal Lawsuit Over EPA’s Carbon Emissions Rules,” The Associated Press, 4/8/15)
· Walker On Cap-And-Trade: “It Concerns Me If We Do Cap And Trade, Because That Would Hurt Us [Wisconsin] Much More Than Other Places Around The Country.” (“On Climate Change,” Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 6/6/12)
In June 2015, The U.S. Supreme Court Ruled “The Environmental Protection Agency Failed To Take Their Cost Into Account” When Deciding To Regulate Emissions From Coal- And Oil-Fired Plants. “A divided Supreme Court on Monday ruled against federal regulators’ attempt to limit power plant emissions of mercury and other hazardous air pollutants. The rules began to take effect in April, but the court split 5-4 along ideological lines to rule that the Environmental Protection Agency failed to take their cost into account when the agency first decided to regulate the toxic emissions from coal- and oil-fired plants.” (Sam Hananel, “SCOTUS Rejects EPA Limits,” The Associated Press, 6/29/15)
The Associated Press Headline: “Walker Objects To Obama Administration's Power Plant Rules” (Scott Bauer and Todd Richmond, “Walker Objects To Obama Administration's Power Plant Rules,” The Associated Press, 8/4/15)
· Walker: “President Obama’s Plan Should Be Called The Costly Power Plan Because It Will Cost Hard-Working Americans Jobs And Raise Their Energy Rates.” (Alex Swoyer, “Walker On Obama’s Power Plant Regulations: ‘Will Be Like A Buzz Saw On The Nation’s Economy,” Breitbart, 8/3/15)
· Walker: “It Will Be Like A Buzz Saw On The Nation’s Economy. I Will Stand Up For American Workers And Stop The Costly Power Plan.” (Alex Swoyer, “Walker On Obama’s Power Plant Regulations: ‘Will Be Like A Buzz Saw On The Nation’s Economy,” Breitbart, 8/3/15)
In Wisconsin, Walker Improved The Efficiency And Productivity Of The State’s Environmental Oversight. “The DNR [Department of Natural Resources] now sees its main job as helping people to navigate complex regulations and avoid potentially damaging violations. It’s a win-win: When we prevent violations that cause harm to the state’s environment, we don’t need to penalize taxpayers. The DNR in Wisconsin, unlike the EPA in Washington, is now seen as a protector of natural resources and a partner in nurturing economy growth.” (Scott Walker, Op-Ed, “Welcome to Wisconsin, Mr. President,” Real Clear Politics, 7/2/15)
Scott Walker: The Real Issue Is Creating Jobs
At the CNN Debate, Governor Scott Walker discusses the best way to get wages up: get people the education and skills they need to succeed. Walker also highlights his winning record and his plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare.
Scott Walker: I Won't Back Down
At the CNN debate, Governor Scott Walker talks about how he never backed down even among death threats, a recall election, and attacks by special interests.
CNN Debate: Walker & Fighting Radical Islamic Terrorism
Walker Believes The Greatest Threat To Our National Security Is Radical Islamic Terrorism
Walker: “The Greatest Threat To Future Generations Is Radical Islamic Terrorism.” “Earlier this year, the President proclaimed that climate change is the greatest threat to future generations. Well Mr. President, I respectfully disagree. The greatest threat to future generations is radical Islamic terrorism and we need to do something about it.” (Scott Walker,Presidential Campaign Announcement, 7/13/15)
· Walker Would Lift Political Restrictions On Military Personnel In Iraq “So They Can Help Our Kurd And Sunni Allies Reclaim Land Taken By ISIS.” SCOTT WALKER: “The greatest threat to future generations is radical Islamic terrorism and we need to do something about it. That means lifting the political restrictions on our military personnel in Iraq so they can help our Kurd and Sunni allies reclaim land taken by ISIS.” (Scott Walker, Presidential Campaign Announcement, 7/13/15)
Walker: “By Standing Idly By As Chaos Engulfed Syria And By Withdrawing American Troops From Iraq, President Obama’s Policies Resulted In The Rise Of ISIS.” (“Scott Walker: 'Our Allies Do Not Trust Us, And Our Enemies Do Not Fear Us,'” The National Interest, 7/24/15)
· Walker: “The Immediate Danger Is That These Jihadists Will Direct Their Extremism And Recently-Acquired Skills At The American Homeland.” “Tens of thousands of foreign fighters and jihadists are now gaining combat experience, becoming even more radicalized, and integrating into the global terror network. The immediate danger is that these jihadists will direct their extremism and recently-acquired skills at the American homeland, whose values and freedom stand for everything the terrorists hate.” (“Scott Walker: 'Our Allies Do Not Trust Us, And Our Enemies Do Not Fear Us,'” The National Interest, 7/24/15)
Walker Believes That A Total Lack Of Leadership Has Characterized President Obama And Secretary Clinton’s Foreign Policy.” SCOTT WALKER: “In the long-term though, the greatest threat to our country is the lack of leadership that has characterized President Obama and Secretary Clinton’s foreign policy in Europe, Asia, and especially, the Middle East. Our allies do not trust us, and our enemies do not fear us. This is creating a world in which Putin invades Ukraine and annexes neighboring territory, China attacks us in cyberspace, Iran dominates the Middle East and threatens Israel, and Saudi Arabia considers whether to acquire nuclear weapons because we have abandoned the region to Iranian influence. The next president must be fully committed to addressing both these short-term and long-term threats.” (“Scott Walker: 'Our Allies Do Not Trust Us, And Our Enemies Do Not Fear Us,'” The National Interest, 7/24/15)
CNN Debate: Walker Won’t Back Down
When Walker Reformed Labor In Wisconsin With Act 10, He Faced 100,000 Protestors, Death Threats And A Recall Election, But He Stood Unintimidated And Saved The Taxpayers $3 Billion
In 2011, Within Three Months Of Being Office, Walker Signed Legislation Repealing “Most Collective Bargaining For Public Employee Unions.” “In just his third month in office, Gov. Scott Walker rewrote Wisconsin history Friday by signing into law his bill to repeal most collective bargaining for public employee unions.” (“Jason Stein, Don Walker and Patrick Marley, “Walker Signs Budget Bill, Legal Challenges Mount,” Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 3/11/11)
· The Law Also Addressed Wisconsin’s Budget Shortfall By Requiring Public Employees To Pay More For Pensions And Health Insurance.” “In addition, the law would solve part but not all of the state's immediate budget shortfall, require public employees to pay more for pensions and health insurance, give Walker broad authority over health care programs for the poor and turn 37 civil service jobs into political appointments.” (“Jason Stein, Don Walker and Patrick Marley, “Walker Signs Budget Bill, Legal Challenges Mount,” Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 3/11/11)
As A Result Of Walker Curbing Unions, 100,000 Protestors Showed Up At The Wisconsin State Capitol. “Up to 100,000 people protested at the Wisconsin state Capitol on Saturday against a new law curbing the union rights of public workers that is seen as one of the biggest challenges in decades facing U.S. organized labor. Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain estimated the crowd at 85,000 to 100,000 people, which would top the size of protests in Madison during the Vietnam War. The demonstration, capping three weeks of public protests, came a day after Republican Governor Scott Walker signed into law a bill to eliminate most bargaining rights for many state government workers.”
Democrats And Big Government Unions Attempted To Recall Walker Due To His Act 10 Legislation. “Then Walker made his move on public employee unions. Suddenly, he became enemy number one of the organized labor movement nationally and the Republican every Democrat in Wisconsin loved to hate. That emotion led to the push to recall Walker in a June 2012 election; there was a widespread belief in the anti-Walker crowd that it was a virtual guarantee that voters would get rid of the governor.” (Chris Cillizza, “Democrats Should Have Never Tried To Recall Scott Walker,” The Washington Post’s “The Fix,” 7/13/15)
· “Except That Didn’t Happen” And “Walker Won By A Larger Margin” Than He Did In The 2010 Election.“Except that didn't happen. In fact, Walker won by a larger margin over Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett in the 2012 recall than he did in the regularly scheduled 2010 election.” (Chris Cillizza, “Democrats Should Have Never Tried To Recall Scott Walker,” The Washington Post’s “The Fix,” 7/13/15)
Walker’s Move To Curb Collective Bargaining By Public Sector Unions Also Resulted In Graphic Death Threats Against Him And His Family. “Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker faced death threats and frightening encounters with protesters during the fight in his state over labor laws, he reportedly reveals in his new book. Walker received letters targeting his family, including one that talked about following his children to school and another threatening to ‘gut [his wife] like a deer,’ according to excerpts of the book from the publisher posted by the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute.” (Tal Kopan, “Gov. Walker Writes Of Family Threats,” Politico, 11/13/13)
In 2014, The Wisconsin Supreme Court Upheld Walker’s Act 10. “More than three years after its passage sparked massive protests that jammed the Capitol Square, the state Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of a divisive state law that sharply curtailed the collective bargaining rights of most public workers. In upholding Gov. Scott Walker’s signature piece of legislation, the court handed the governor a major victory three months before he seeks re-election. The decision also cast doubt on the validity of several union contracts negotiated after a lower court found the law unconstitutional. In its 5-2 decision, the court said public workers in Wisconsin do not have a constitutional right to bargain collectively.” (Ed Treleven, “In 5-2 Ruling, Supreme Court Issues Final Word On Act 10,” Wisconsin State Journal, 8/1/14)
Walker’s Act 10 Has “Saved Taxpayers Some $3 Billion.” “In contrast, as a member of the Madison School Board, Mary Burke voted to keep the pre-Act 10 contracts and her first budget vote included a sizable property tax increase. So far, she refuses to answer a simple question: Would she sign a bill to repeal Act 10? I support our Act 10 reforms because they saved the taxpayers some $3 billion.” (Jason Stein, “Gov. Scott Walker And Mary Burke On Public Unions,”Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 7/21/14)
CNN Debate: Walker’s Jobs Record

CNN Debate: Walker’s Plan To Repeal & Replace ObamaCare
Walker Has A Plan To Repeal And Replace ObamaCare On Day One
One Of Walker’s First Actions As President Would Be To Repeal And Replace ObamaCare With A “Market Driven” Solution. KUDLOW: “All right. Last question. In Washington– and I’m still putting you in– in Washington– after you’re going to win your November election, which I predict. What would you do? First thing, what would you do? You– you see the mess down there. You see the problems with the budget, with taxes, with ObamaCare. First order of business.” WALKER: “Any– any--” KUDLOW: “For a President-elect.” WALKER: “Any person.” KUDLOW: “Scott Walker?” “WALKER: “Any person who’s in that position, who’s in their right mind should appeal– repeal ObamaCare and replace it with a market-driven solution, should cut the marginal tax rate and rein in federal agencies like the EPA and the National Labor Relations Board.” (Larry Kudlow, “Kudlow’s Money Politics,” National Review, 11/20/2013)
In August 2015, Walker Introduced His Day One Patient Freedom Plan, Which Would Repeal And Replace ObamaCare. “Gov. Scott Walker said Tuesday he would scrap President Barack Obama’s signature health care law on his first day in office and replace it with a health insurance system that relies on refundable tax credits based on age instead of household income to help individuals pay for health coverage.” (Molly Beck, “Scott Walker: I Will Repeal ObamaCare On Day 1 Of Presidency,” Wisconsin State Journal, 8/19/15)
· Read Walker’s Plan: The Day One Patient Freedom Plan
Walker’s Plan “Gives States More Power To Operate Medicaid” And Ties Refundable Tax Credits To Age Rather Than Income.” “Walker's proposal calls for repealing the law immediately and replacing it with a plan that gives states more power to operate Medicaid, ties refundable tax credits to age rather than income, and shifts to discretion of states the decision on whether to offer the popular Obama provision that currently allows people up to age 26 to remain on their parents' insurance plans.” (Scott Bauer, “GOP Hopeful Scott Walker Offers Health Plan With Tax Credits,” The Associated Press, 8/18/15)
Walker’s Plan Would Also Allow People To Buy Insurance Across State Lines. “Walker's plan would allow consumers to buy health insurance being offered in other states and regulated by those state governments — an idea that has been proposed by other Republicans.” (Mary Spicuzza and Jason Stein, “Scott Walker Unveils Health Care Plan, Emphasizing ObamaCare Repeal,” Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 8/18/15)
To Encourage Congress To Replace ObamaCare, Walker Would Issue An Executive Order That Would Force Congress To Live Under The Same ObamaCare Rules As The Rest Of The Country. SCOTT WALKER: “For me the great way to motivate the Congress to pass the reforms we are talking about is to make sure they have to live under the same ObamaCare rules that the rest of America has been put under for the last few years. So on my very first day, I will issue an executive order that will pull back on the special deal that President Obama provided for Congress. You know, they kind of got pulled out of this like they often exempt themselves out of other things when it comes to other laws out there. We’re going to do an executive order that gets rid of the deal that President Obama put in place, the special deal for Congress, and make them live under the same conditions. I think once they’re susceptible to the ObamaCare premium increases that so many Americans have been under over the last few years, I have a pretty good idea that’s going to light a fire under Congress to get things moving right away.” (Scott Walker, Remarks On His Plan To Repeal And Replace ObamaCare, 8/18/15)
Conservatives Are Praising Walker’s Health Care Plan As The Best Plan To Replace ObamaCare To Date
National Review Editorial: “Walker’s Plan To Replace Obamacare: The Best, To Date, From The 2016 Field”(Editorial, “How To Replace Obamacare: Walker’s Plan,” National Review, 8/18/15)
· “Walker Has Presented The Best Plan Yet From A Presidential Candidate, And We Hope That Other Candidates Will Feel No Compunction About Copying Him.” (Editorial, “How To Replace ObamaCare: Walker’s Plan,”National Review, 8/18/15)
Hertog Fellow And National Review’s Yuval Levin On Walker’s Plan: “I Think It’s The Most Substantively And Politically Serious Health Care Reform We Have Yet Seen From A Presidential Candidate…” “I think it’s the most substantively and politically serious conservative health care reform we have yet seen from a presidential candidate, and hopefully it will spur some more to come. The Walker proposal will be familiar to health wonks: It is based on several prior conservative proposals, especially those advanced by senators Coburn, Hatch, and Burr in 2014 (and then Hatch and Burr along with Congressman Fred Upton after Coburn retired this year), by House Budget Committee chairman Tom Price, and by the 2017 Project, a conservative policy group.” (Yuval Levin, “The Walker Health Care Plan,” National Review, 8/18/15)
The Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol: “Walker Really Does Deserve Considerable Praise For Laying Out A Proposal That Is At Once Consistent With Conservative Principles And A Credible Replacement For ObamaCare.” “Now Scott Walker has stepped up, putting forth a plan very much like the 2017 Project's repeal and replace plan. We're biased, since we've been strong advocates of that plan (and I chair the 2017 Project), but Walker really does deserve considerable praise for laying out a proposal that is at once consistent with conservative principles and a credible replacement for ObamaCare.” (William Kristol, “Walker Steps Up,” The Weekly Standard, 8/18/15)
Jeffrey H. Anderson Of The 2017 Project On Walker’s Health Care Plan: “Walker Has Now Stepped Into That Leadership Void And Has Shown A Willingness To Take On This Crucial Fight.” (Jeffrey H. Anderson, “Walker’s Obamacare Alternative: Setting The Record Straight,” The Weekly Standard, 8/26/15)
Hoover Institution Fellow & Fox News Contributor Deroy Murdock: “Walker Gets Tough And Specific With His Health-Care Plan” (Deroy Murdock, “Walker Gets Tough And Specific With His Health-Care Plan,” The Weekly Standard, 8/25/15)
Americans For Tax Reform: “Scott Walker's ObamaCare ‘Repeal and Replace’ Plan Good for Taxpayers” (Ryan Ellis, “Scott Walker's ObamaCare ‘Repeal And Replace’ Plan Good For Taxpayers,” Americans For Tax Reform, 8/18/15)

CNN Debate: Walker & Planned Parenthood
As Governor, Walker Defunded Planned Parenthood In Wisconsin
“In June 2011, Governor Walker Signed A Budget Bill That Eliminated All State Funding For Planned Parenthood Health Centers In Wisconsin.” (Brittany Lewis, “Fact Check: What Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker Said At Iowa GOP Lincoln Dinner,” WQAD, 5/19/15)
Walker Said The Undercover Videos Of Planned Parenthood Selling Fetal Body Parts Were “Absolutely Horrifying And Disgusting.” “Wisconsin governor and presidential candidate Scott Walker called an undercover video that purports to show Planned Parenthood’s national medical director discussing the sale of fetal body parts harvested from abortions ‘absolutely horrifying and disgusting.’” (Andrew Kaczynski, “Scott Walker: Undercover Planned Parenthood Video ‘Absolutely Horrifying And Disgusting,’” Buzzfeed, 7/14/15)
· Walker: “This is absolutely horrifying and disgusting. Planned Parenthood and the Democrats who vote to fund this organization owe the American people an explanation for these heinous, and possibly illegal, actions” (Andrew Kaczynski, “Scott Walker: Undercover Planned Parenthood Video ‘Absolutely Horrifying And Disgusting,’” Buzzfeed, 7/14/15)
When Walker Was A State Representative, He “Co-Sponsored Legislation To Ban The Sale Of Fetal Parts.”Walker, who an aide noted co-sponsored legislation to ban the sale of fetal parts when he was a state lawmaker, spoke in his presidential announcement speech of how as governor he “defunded Planned Parenthood and enacted pro-life legislation.” (Andrew Kaczynski, “Scott Walker: Undercover Planned Parenthood Video ‘Absolutely Horrifying And Disgusting,’”Buzzfeed, 7/14/15)
In Wisconsin, Walker Redirected The Funds From Planned Parenthood To Noncontroversial Public Health Entities That Provide For Women’s Health. SCOTT WALKER: “Years ago, when I first became governor in the State of Wisconsin, my first budget I defunded Planned Parenthood. I took some attacks from some of the media and some of the left, but this video is just a prime example. This is not a noncontroversial entity. This is obviously a disturbing, disgusting act that they’re talking about. We've outlawed that in Wisconsin in the past. We need to be defunding Planned Parenthood, not only state by state, but across the country and instead put resources into women’s health issues, but put them into non-controversial entities, public health entities or other things in that regard.” MEGYN KELLY: “But the challenges to that is Planned Parenthood, as controversial as it is, helps a lot of women in this country get birth control and prevent unwanted pregnancies, which would result in abortion.” WALKER: “But in our state, we took the money, we defunded Planned Parenthood and we put into other entities. In many cases, we put it in the county public health services,. So there are better, non-controversial ways to do that. They can still protect and provide for women's health, but not do so in a way that aligns with a group like Planned Parenthood. This video is another example why defunding them is so important.” (Fox News’ “The Kelly File,” 7/16/15)
One Year After Walker Defunded Planned Parenthood In Wisconsin, 662 Less Abortions Were Performed – A 10 Percent Drop. “The Wisconsin health department released new abortion numbers today and they provide additional evidence that cutting taxpayer funding to Planned Parenthood and enacting additional pro-life laws saves unborn babies from abortion. Specifically, 662 babies were saved from abortions in the latest year for which abortion data is available compared with the year before. The newly released Department of Health Services Reported Induced Abortions in Wisconsin report shows there were 6,462 abortions performed in 2013 and 5,800 in 2014. Those numbers come three years after pro-life Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker signed a bill to cut taxpayer funding to the Planned Parenthood abortion business.” (Steven Ertelt, “662 Babies Saved From Abortions In Wisconsin After Planned Parenthood Funding Cut, Pro-Life Laws,” LifeNews, 8/26/15)
Walker Has Called On Congress To Defund Planned Parenthood Nationally
Walker Has Called On Congress To Defund Planned Parenthood Nationwide. (Scott Walker, Twitter, 7/24/15)
· Walker Said Funds From Planned Parenthood Should Be Redirected Into Non-Controversial Entities. “We need to be defunding Planned Parenthood, not only state by state, but I think, across the country. And instead, put resources into women’s health issues, but put them into non-controversial entities, public health entities, or other things in that regard.” (Steven Ertelt, “Scott Walker: ‘We Need To De-Fund Planned Parenthood State By State Across The Country’,” Life News, 7/17/15)
“Gov. Scott Walker Says He Supports Legislation That Aims To Block Federal Medicaid Money From Going To Planned Parenthood In Wisconsin.” (Mary Spicuzza and Craig Gilbert, “Scott Walker Backs Bill To Block Federal Money For Planned Parenthood,” Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 8/21/15)
CNN Debate: Bush Won’t Tear Up Iran Deal On Day One
If Elected President, Bush Would Not Terminate The Deal With Iran On Day One
CNN Headline: “Jeb Bush: I Won't Tear Up Iran Deal On Day One” (Ashley Killough, “Jeb Bush: I Won't Tear Up Iran Deal On Day One,” CNN, 7/17/15)
In July 2015, Bush Said If He Was Elected President That “He Wouldn’t Immediately Kill” The Nuclear Deal With Iran. “Jeb Bush on Friday gave sharp criticism of the nuclear deal with Iran, but said he wouldn't immediately kill the agreement on his first day in office if he becomes the next president. The former Florida governor told an audience at a campaign event in Carson City, Nevada, that he'd take a more pragmatic approach by consulting with his Cabinet and allies before scratching the nuclear agreement altogether.” (Ashley Killough, “Jeb Bush: I Won't Tear Up Iran Deal On Day One,”CNN, 7/17/15)
Bush Won’t Commit To Ripping Up The Iran Deal, Only Saying “I’ll Certainly Look At It.” BUSH: “That is the wrong approach to this. So, reestablishing that and looking at the capabilities Israel needs to deal with this existential threat is another element of the proper strategy. QUESTION: “But you will rip up the agreement, if there’s one, when you become president?” BUSH: “I’ll certainly look at it.” (Jeb Bush, Remarks At A Town Hall, Merrimack, NH, 8/19/15)
· “Bush Has Not Made A Promise About What He Would Do On Day One, But He Did Outline One Thing That He Wouldn't Do: Tear Up The Iran Deal.” (Deena Zaru, “Iran Nuclear Deal Figures Big In 'Day 1' Presidential Candidate Promises,” CNN, 9/3/15)
