The segment started with some "yes or no" questions...

• Did Russia meddle in the 2016 election? Hoyos: Likely. Burchett: Yes, they meddle in everything.

• Do you favor a President Trump style wall across the Mexico border? Burchett: Yes. Hoyos: No.

• Should President Trump continue direct talks with North Korea? Hoyos: Yes. Burchett: Yes.

• Is global warming real and an overall threat to our planet? Burchett: Conditionally. Hoyos: Absolutely yes.

• Does former EPA director Scott Pruitt deserve praise for rolling back environmental regulations, especially those tied to stricter fuel emissions? Hoyos: No. Burchett: Yes.

• Would you support Sen. Lamar Alexander's plan to pay for the maintenance backlog in national parks through profits from harvesting natural resources on federal land? Burchett: Yes. Hoyos: Yes.

• Will the President's recent tariff policies on steel and other goods help the Tennessee economy in the long run? Hoyos: No. Burchett: No.

• Do you support a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution? Burchett: Yes. Hoyos: Yes.

• Do you support increasing the age younger generations are eligible for Social Security to help reduce the strain on the budget? Hoyos: No. Burchett: No.

• Is basic health care a fundamental right for all U.S. citizens? Burchett: No. Hoyos: Conditional.

• Should Medicare and Medicaid be expanded to include more people? Hoyos: Yes. Burchett: No. Can't afford it.

• Should military veterans be able to see any doctor they choose or that they need without restriction? Burchett: Yes. Hoyos: Yes.

• Will you self-impose a term limit of twelve years? Hoyos: Yes. Burchett: I'll vote for it. But no, I'm not. (Supports term limits, but says there needs to be a law.)

• In the interest of transparency, would you consider publishing a public calendar of everyone you meet formally in your office in Washington or here in the district? Hoyos: Yes. Burchett: Yes.

• Was Congressman Jimmy Duncan right to vote against the invasion of Iraq? Hoyos: Yes. Burchett: I'd say yes.

• Does the President tweet too much? Hoyos: Absolutely. Burchett: I love Twitter. No.

• Was the Citizens United case by the Supreme Court good for politics? Hoyos: No. Burchett: Conditionally. I think you ought to have to say where the money comes from.

Follow up on yes/no questions that the candidate would like to expand on?

Hoyos: On healthcare, shore up the Affordable Care Act, lower age of Medicare, see if that works, with a premium, we should offer it to everybody. We should make sure health care is affordable and accessible for all people.

Burchett: Concerned about health care, too, but if you offer it to everyone it's a $36 trillion bill. If you double all personal and corporate income tax over the next ten years we still wouldn't have it paid for. I'd like people to have health care, but at what cost?

Burchett: On campaign finance reform, in my primary race there was a lot of outside money, attack pieces where nobody knows where they came from, needs to be disclosed. Citizens United put corporations on the same footing as unions.

Hoyos: We have decided to not take any PAC money. Asks Burchett if he will take PAC money. Burchett says yes, and he'll even take a donation from Renee. Hoyos says and that will be disclosed.

Follow up about global warming, Burchett's "conditional" response:

Burchett: Believes it is real, doesn't know that we are causing it. American public always pays the cost (for regulation). Other countries don't honor treaties, we shouldn't have to pay for it. Burchett is concerned about the environment, he's an organic gardener. His neighbor, a Democrat, uses weed killer. He uses goats.

Hoyos: In the 80s we knew everything we needed to know about global warming but we didn't act. China is now the leader in solar panel production. There's opportunity for jobs in renewable energy. Need to address the problem now and move away from fossil fuels.

Question about the national debt:

Hoyos says keep spending where it is now and look for other sources of revenue. One way is to put the military on a diet. Another way is to have Medicare, Medicaid and the VA form a block to negotiate pharmaceutical prices.

Burchett says our military is in other countries to protect oil prices. Money could be better spent here on developing alternative energy sources.

Question to Burchett, what is Trump doing wrong?

Burchett understands the way he communicates but it causes a lot of "rough." He's a different kind of elected official, but hesitant to criticize because of the boom in the economy, negotiations with North Korea, job growth is spectacular, reduction in taxes. One thing both parties is doing wrong is we've got to reduce the debt.

Question to Hoyos, what is Trump doing right?

Hoyos says he's gotten a lot of people off the bench. Getting more people in the community involved, more activism, higher voter turnout. Exposing cracks in our government. Government didn't break in November 2016, Trump is just the logical conclusion to the effort to dismantle government.

Follow up on why they both oppose raising the age to qualify for Social Security:

Hoyos says lifting the cap on social security payroll taxes would make Social Security solvent forever.

Burchett says we have made a commitment to the American public and we should honor that commitment. The problem with these programs is that initially they seem like they would fund and work but greedy legislators see a pot of money and they take it. In general. It's a trust issue.

What is the first issue you would attack day one in office?

Hoyos says health care. Murray Alexander bill that stalled out in the Senate has a lot of solutions and we could have a mirror of that in the House.

Burchett says energy independence. Leverage ORNL technology and brainpower to get us back to an energy efficient economy. The reason our military is overseas is oil prices. Hoyos: not every country. Burchett: yeah it is.

Question to Burchett about veterans, and why that wouldn't be his first priority?

Burchett: That's something I ran on. Congressman Phil Roe has done a great job, though, starting to do what I asked, allowing veterans to go to their own doctors and pharmacies. Talks about veteran suicides, says making them call an 800 number and stay on hold for 30 minutes is pathetic.

Question to both candidates: What committees would you seek to get on?

Hoyos says, well, we don't get to choose, but I'd like Energy and Environment.

Burchett says the committee system is corrupt in both parties. You have to raise money to donate to your party to get on the committees you want. That needs to change. Doesn't know what committees he might get but will fight it out. Hoyos says to Burchett he could use all that PAC money to get a committee assignment. Burchett said yeah, but it doesn't work that way.

Question to both candidates: Is there an issue that you think will dominate over then next 80 days that you think will separate you from your opponent?

Burchett:Responsible government spending will separate the two of us. I've had a history as county mayor of the county paying down debt. All the programs people propose are great and make you feel good but you've got to raise taxes to do that and that will cripple this country. All this health care is going to cost and we have to figure out how we're going to pay for it. Putting it on the backs of working people once again is not going to work.

Hoyos: Health care is the number one issue. When I go out to the district that's what people tell me they're concerned about. Its unaffordable and inaccessible. And to say we're not going to raise taxes even a tiny bit to keep people off the street and keep veterans from underneath bridges because they can't afford health care is untenable.
