| 00:00:00 | LEADERS OF THE LAKES REGION TEA PARTY. |
| 00:00:03 | IT IS EXCITED TO -- IT IS EXCITING TO BE HERE AND TO HOST THIS EVENT AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR COMING. |
| 00:00:10 | I WANT TO THANK THE TEAM FOR MAKING THIS ALL POSSIBLE. |
| 00:00:14 | IT IS AMAZING. |
| 00:00:15 | EARLIER IN THE EVENING, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE INTERVIEWED BY TWO DIFFERENT INTERNATIONAL PRESS PEOPLE. |
| 00:00:24 | THEIR QUESTIONS WERE KIND OF FASCINATING. |
| 00:00:29 | IT TIED INTO WHY NEWT IS HERE TONIGHT AND WHY THE TURNOUT IS SO BIG. |
| 00:00:35 | ONE OF THE QUESTIONS IS, WHAT IS THE ATTRACTION? |
| 00:00:39 | WHAT MAKES HIM A VIABLE CANDIDATE? |
| 00:00:42 | I THOUGHT, IF YOU PAY ATTENTION, THESE ARE INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENTS AND I DO NOT EXPECT THEM TO BE TUNED IN ALL THE TIME TO THE U. |
| 00:00:56 | S. THINK ABOUT NEWT. |
| 00:00:58 | I SAID, "THIS IS A UNIQUE TIME IN OUR COUNTRY'S HISTORY. |
| 00:01:05 | I AM GOING TO PULL A LINE FROM MICHELE BACHMANN. |
| 00:01:14 | THIS ELECTION, THIS IS THE ONE WE HAVE TO GET IT RIGHT. |
| 00:01:17 | WE CANNOT MAKE A MISTAKE. |
| 00:01:20 | OR PARTLY, THIS ELECTION -- MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT IS NOT ABOUT NEWT GINGRICH. |
| 00:01:28 | IT IS NOT ABOUT MITT ROMNEY, RON PAUL, OR RICK SANTORUM. |
| 00:01:32 | THIS IS ABOUT BEATING OBAMA. |
| 00:01:43 | -- BEATING OBAMA. |
| 00:01:45 | LET'S LOOK AT THE CANDIDATES, LET'S LOOK AT NEWT. |
| 00:01:51 | " WE HAVE A FINANCIAL CRISIS THAT IF WE DO NOT SOLVE IT NOW, AND THIS NEXT TERM, IT COULD SPELL THE BANKRUPTCY OF OUR COUNTRY. |
| 00:02:03 | WE NEED A CANDIDATE THAT UNDERSTANDS INTERNATIONAL POLITICS. |
| 00:02:08 | WE NEED A CANDIDATE THAT UNDERSTANDS FISCAL POLICY. |
| 00:02:12 | WE NEED A CANDIDATE IN THESE HORRIBLY PARTISAN THAT CAN WORK WITH BOTH SIDES AS BEST AS POSSIBLE. |
| 00:02:21 | WE NEED A CANDIDATE WHO IS CONSERVATIVE. |
| 00:02:26 | I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE TO YOU THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, NEWT GINGRICH. |
| 00:03:42 | [APPLAUSE] (music) >> I FORGOT TO SAY ONE OTHER THING BEFORE I HAND OVER THE MIKE. |
| 00:03:49 | ANYBODY FOR THE MEET AND GREET IF YOU WOULD LINE UP ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THE ROOM BECAUSE WE'RE MAKING THE FLOW GO IN THIS DIRECTION. |
| 00:03:56 | WE WANT EVERYONE TO LINE UP THERE. |
| 00:03:58 | MR. |
| 00:03:59 | SPEAKER, IT IS ALL YOURS. |
| 00:04:00 | >> THIS IS QUITE A TURNAROUND. |
| 00:04:03 | I AM VERY IMPRESSED. |
| 00:04:05 | I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU. |
| 00:04:07 | AS A FORMER TEACHER, IT IS UNNERVING TO HAVE PEOPLE DIRECTLY BEHIND YOU. |
| 00:04:11 | I WILL COUNT ON YOU TO KEEP THEM UNDER CONTROL. |
| 00:04:17 | NO SPITBALLS, YOU GOT IT DOWN, RIGHT. |
| 00:04:22 | I AM THRILLED THAT ALL OF YOU HAVE COME OUT THIS EVENING. |
| 00:04:24 | I AM GRATEFUL. |
| 00:04:28 | I WANT TO SHARE A COUPLE OF THINGS. |
| 00:04:32 | RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IS VERY ODD. |
| 00:04:34 | YOU HAVE ALL THIS ATTENTION FROM OUR FRIENDS IN THE MEDIA AND ALL THAT STUFF. |
| 00:04:38 | THE WAY THE SYSTEM REALLY WORKS, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SAY THINGS THAT ARE AUTOMATICALLY UNDERSTOOD BY EVERYBODY WHO -- IT IS SCRIPTED AND YOU REPEAT MANIACALLY 4622 TIMES. |
| 00:04:53 | ANYTHING ELSE GETS COMPLICATED. |
| 00:04:57 | I WILL TELL YOU A STORY ABOUT NEW HAMPSHIRE. |
| 00:05:00 | I GOT INVOLVED IN DOING EDUCATION FOR THEM. |
| 00:05:07 | I AM THRILLED THAT WE HAVE A NUMBER OF YOUNG PEOPLE HERE. |
| 00:05:10 | THAT IS WHAT THIS SHOULD BE ABOUT. |
| 00:05:13 | THIS IS ABOUT THEIR FUTURE, THEIR COUNTRY. |
| 00:05:15 | WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH THE DECISIONS WILL MAKE. |
| 00:05:18 | THIS MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION IN OUR LIFETIME. |
| 00:05:22 | EIGHT YEARS OF BARACK OBAMA WILL WRECK THE COUNTRY AND WE NEED TO STOP THE DECAY AS FAST AS WE CAN. |
| 00:05:30 | YOU ARE ALLOWED TO CLAP. |
| 00:05:35 | [APPLAUSE] ONE OF THE APPROACHES I HAVE TAKEN, I TALKED ABOUT RE- INTRODUCING THE WORK ETHIC AND IN 1607 IN JAMESTOWN, WORK WAS PART OF BEING AMERICAN. |
| 00:05:55 | CAPTAIN JOHN SMITH WAS APPROACHED BY SEVERAL ARISTOCRATS WHO SAID WE HAVE PAID OUR WAY OVER HERE AND YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS WORK. |
| 00:06:05 | HE SAID, YOU'RE RIGHT. |
| 00:06:07 | UNDER THE CONTRACT I CANNOT MAKE YOU WORK. |
| 00:06:09 | THIS IS A NEW WORLD. |
| 00:06:11 | IN THIS NEW WORLD, THERE ARE LIMITED RESOURCES. |
| 00:06:15 | THEREFORE, WHILE I CANNOT MAKE IT WORK, IF YOU DO NOT WORK, YOU WILL NOT WOEAT. |
| 00:06:23 | SORT OF THE OPPOSITE OF COMMUNISM. |
| 00:06:29 | THEY CAME BACK AND SAID, THIS WORK THING. |
| 00:06:33 | WE HAVE A NEW INTEREST IN IT. |
| 00:06:35 | AND FROM THAT POINT ON, WORKERS AT THE HEART OF THE AMERICAN IDEAL. |
| 00:06:42 | -- WORK WAS AT THE HEART OF THE AMERICAN IDEAL. |
| 00:06:46 | WE ARE ENDOWED BY OUR CREATOR WITH CERTAIN INALIENABLE RIGHTS. |
| 00:06:50 | LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. |
| 00:06:53 | AN ACTIVE TERM. |
| 00:06:56 | I SAID A FEW WEEKS AGO, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GOOD, PARTICULARLY IN THE POOREST NEIGHBORHOODS TO TRY TO FIND A WAY TO HELP POOR CHILDREN HAVE A CHANCE TO LEARN THE WORK HABITS AND LEARNED A BRIGHT PATTERNS. |
| 00:07:13 | I WAS AFFECTED BY AN ARTICLE I READ 20 OR 25 YEARS AGO BY JOE KLEIN WHICH DESCRIBED JANITORS. |
| 00:07:24 | THEY START AT A HIGHER SALARY THAN THE TEACHERS. |
| 00:07:27 | THE PEAK PAY FOR SCHOOL JANITORS IS HIGHER THAN THE PEAK PAY FOR TEACHERS. |
| 00:07:31 | IT IS AN EXAMPLE OF UNION POWER. |
| 00:07:35 | THE FIRST THING THAT CAME BACK WAS THE LEFT, WHICH RESPONDED TO ME ABOUT THE WAY THEY HAD TO SENATOR MOYNIHAN WHEN HE FIRST DISCUSSED THESE IDEAS AND THEY WERE SHOCKED. |
| 00:07:47 | HE WAS A LIBERAL DEMOCRAT SO HE WAS IN DOUBLE CRUMBLE -- TROUBLE BECAUSE HE WAS A TRAITOR TO THE IDEA. |
| 00:07:54 | IT WAS TOO HARD TO ASK THEM TO BE INDEPENDENT. |
| 00:08:02 | JUST RELAX AND WE THE GOVERNMENT WILL DEFINE THEIR LIVES. |
| 00:08:06 | IT CAME BACK THAT NEWT GINGRICH WANTS TO ATTRACT CHILDREN INTO BEING JANITORS. |
| 00:08:11 | JANITORS DO REALLY DANGEROUS WORK, WHY DID YOU WANT TO RISK THESE KIDS BEING KILLED? |
| 00:08:17 | I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. |
| 00:08:19 | KLEIN KNEW WHERE THIS HAD COME FROM. |
| 00:08:24 | WE WENT BACK AND GOT THE ARTICLE. |
| 00:08:26 | WE FIGURED OUT IF YOU KEPT THE HEAD JENNA CHAIR TO BE IN CHARGE OF EVERYTHING THAT WAS HARD, IF YOU WOULD TAKE ONE JANITOR PRESCHOOL AND FOR ONE JANITOR PER SCHOOL, YOU COULD HIRE 20 OR 30 KIDS AT $3,000 EACH. |
| 00:08:49 | IT WOULD REDUCE DROPOUTS. |
| 00:08:51 | SOME COULD WORK IN THE FRONT OFFICE OR CAFETERIA AND SOME COULD PUSH A BROOM OR MOP A FLOOR. |
| 00:09:03 | MY YOUNGER DAUGHTER WROTE ME THIS NOTE. |
| 00:09:09 | HAD I FORGOTTEN HER FIRST JOB WAS AT FIRST BAPTIST IN GEORGIA AND SHE HAD CLEANED OUT THE TOILETS AND IT TAUGHT HER THE VALUE OF EARNING MONEY. |
| 00:09:29 | SHE TOOK PRIDE IN WHAT SHE WAS DOING. |
| 00:09:31 | IT WAS PART OF LEARNING HOW TO WORK. |
| 00:09:34 | WE HAVE TWO GRANDCHILDREN. |
| 00:09:36 | THEY'RE LEARNING HOW TO WORK. |
| 00:09:39 | IT IS AN INTERESTING MODEL. |
| 00:09:40 | MAGGIE WROTE ME ON HER NEW IPAD. |
| 00:09:46 | WHERE DID YOU GET A NEW IPAD? |
| 00:09:49 | SHE SAID I HAVE BEEN SAVING EVERYTHING I EARNED UNTIL I COULD AFFORD IT. |
| 00:09:53 | THIS WAS -- NOT HER PARENTS GET. |
| 00:09:56 | THIS WAS HER IPAD. |
| 00:09:57 | IT IS TRUE THAT SHE NEGOTIATED HOW MUCH DOING THE DISHES WAS WORTH AND SHE NEGOTIATED -- NONETHELESS. |
| 00:10:05 | SHE IS LEARNING. |
| 00:10:08 | A YOUNG MAN OF 16 YEARS OLD NAME BEGAN IN MANCHESTER WHO HAS IAN'S WICKED GOOD DONUTS. |
| 00:10:16 | I JUST DID A COLUMN THIS WEEK. |
| 00:10:23 | I DO A WEEKLY NEWSLETTER THAT GOES OUT FOR FREE. |
| 00:10:26 | THIS WEEK'S COLUMN WAS ON IAN. |
| 00:10:28 | HE IS 16. |
| 00:10:32 | HE STARTED IAN'S WICKED GOOD ? |
| 00:10:40 | AT 11. |
| 00:10:41 | HIS FATHER FOUND THIS AN EXPENSIVE DOWN A MACHINE. |
| 00:10:45 | THEY DECIDED THIS WOULD BE A GOOD THING TO LEARN HOW TO DO. |
| 00:10:47 | HIS FATHER WAS EXCITED. |
| 00:10:49 | IAN GOT TWO LOCAL RESTAURANTS THAT BECAME CUSTOMERS EVERY MORNING FOR FRESH DOUGHNUTS. |
| 00:10:59 | HE FOUND LOCAL FRUIT STANDS IN THE SUMMER AND BECAME CUSTOMERS FOR DOUGHNUTS. |
| 00:11:03 | IT CAN IMAGINE HOW THIS BILL. |
| 00:11:08 | HIS FATHER HAS ALL LEVEL OF EXCITEMENT. |
| 00:11:11 | -- A LEVEL OF EXCITEMENT. |
| 00:11:16 | FOR THE FIRST TIME HE CAN DRIVE AND DELIVER HIS OWN DOUBTS. |
| 00:11:20 | -- DON THAT'S -- DOUGHNUTS. |
| 00:11:24 | I PUT AT THE BOTTOM, IF YOU HAVE A STORY ABOUT SOMEONE WHO STARTED EARLY, SEND IT TO ME. |
| 00:11:33 | I SAID, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE. |
| 00:11:37 | WOULD YOU WRITE YOUR STORY? |
| 00:11:39 | MOST OF THE NEWSLETTER WAS WRITTEN BY IAN AND IT IS HISTORIC. |
| 00:11:45 | HE THINKS HE WILL EARN ENOUGH TO PUT HIMSELF THROUGH COLLEGE WITHOUT BORROWING MONEY. |
| 00:11:53 | I AM A CANDIDATE BECAUSE I BELIEVE WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA IS DEEPER THAN POLITICS AND VASTLY MORE THAN BARACK OBAMA. |
| 00:12:01 | WE NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION THAT DRIVES AT HOW FUNDAMENTAL THE CHANGE NEEDS TO BE. |
| 00:12:08 | WE NEED TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO GO OUT AND TALK TO EVERYBODY IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD ABOUT AN AMERICA THAT WORKS. |
| 00:12:17 | AND WHAT THAT AMERICA IS LIKE. |
| 00:12:23 | I WILL TAKE A SYMBOL AND I WILL HAVE FOOD STAMPS VERSUS PAYCHECKS. |
| 00:12:32 | PRESIDENT OBAMA IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE FOOD STAMP PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY. |
| 00:12:37 | NO PRESIDENT HAS PUT MORE PEOPLE ON FOOD STAMPS THAT OBAMA. |
| 00:12:41 | THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK. |
| 00:12:44 | IT IS A STATEMENT. |
| 00:12:45 | IT IS NOT NEGATIVE, IT IS A FACT. |
| 00:12:47 | I WOULD LIKE TO BE THE BEST PAYCHECK PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY. |
| 00:12:58 | [APPLAUSE] I LOOK AT THESE YOUNG PEOPLE AND I THINK, IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR THEM TO GROW IN A WORLD WHERE THEY ACTUALLY HAD A JOB AND EARN A PAYCHECK AND MORE INDEPENDENT THAN TO GROW IN A WORLD WHERE THERE WERE UNEMPLOYED AND HAD TO TAKE FOOD STAMPS AND WERE DEPENDENT. |
| 00:13:15 | THIS IS A FUNDAMENTAL CULTURAL QUESTION. |
| 00:13:20 | BECAUSE ONCE YOU DECIDE THAT WORK IS AT THE CENTER OF THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE, MANY OF THE THINGS -- OTHER THINGS COME OUT OF IT. |
| 00:13:28 | YOU DECIDE AND I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE THEM, YOU DECIDE THAT YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE TO DO HOMEWORK. |
| 00:13:36 | THE SECOND HALF IS IMPORTANT. |
| 00:13:39 | IT IS WORK. THEY HAVE TO DO HOMEWORK BECAUSE IF YOU WILL COMPETE WITH CHINA AND INDIA AND KOREA, YOU HAVE TO KNOW SOMETHING. |
| 00:13:46 | WHICH MEANS YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE SCHOOLS AND REINSTATES THE IDEA THAT THE SCHOOLS ARE ABOUT LEARNING. |
| 00:13:51 | THEY'RE NOT ABOUT SELF-ESTEEM AS A GIFT. |
| 00:13:55 | THERE ARE ABOUT SELF-ESTEEM AS SOMETHING YOU LEARN. |
| 00:13:57 | THERE ARE NOT ABOUT SOCIALIZATION, THERE ARE ABOUT TO EDUCATION. |
| 00:14:02 | -- THEY ARE NOT ABOUT SELF- ESTEEM AS SOMETHING YOU LEARN. |
| 00:14:06 | THEY ARE ABOUT EDUCATION. |
| 00:14:09 | YOU HAVE TO DROP THIS THING WHERE IF YOU TELL FRIDAY HE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH -- --FREDDIE IF HE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH -- [APPLAUSE] |
| 00:14:23 | IF YOU GOT IN TROUBLE WITH THE TEACHER YOU GOT IN TROUBLE WITH YOUR PARENTS FOR GETTING IN TROUBLE WITH THE TEACHER. |
| 00:14:29 | IF YOU SAID TO FREDDIE HE WAS NOT DOING RIGHT HE WOULD -- AND THEY WOULD THREATEN TO SEE YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE HARMED HIS PSYCHE. |
| 00:14:41 | IF HE GETS A DIPLOMA HE CANNOT READ, YOU HAVE RUINED HIS LIFE. |
| 00:14:46 | WHY DO YOU NOT BOROUGHS HIS PSYCHE A LITTLE BIT AND GET HIM TO LEARN HOW TO READ? |
| 00:14:50 | -- BRUISE HIS PSYCHE A LITTLE BIT AND GET HIM TO LEARN HOW TO READ? |
| 00:14:58 | WE HAVE A CULTURAL CONVERSATION WITH ANY POLITICAL CAMPAIGN ABOUT A GOVERNMENT WHICH OUGHT TO BE DESIGNED TO REINFORCE THE RIGHT CULTURE. |
| 00:15:06 | NOT THE WRONG CULTURE. |
| 00:15:08 | THIS IS WHY THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION IN OUR LIFETIME. |
| 00:15:13 | WE ARE CURRENTLY ON A ROAD TOWARD A EUROPEAN STYLE SECULAR BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALIST MODEL THAT IS PROFOUNDLY WRONG. |
| 00:15:22 | IF THE FOUNDING FATHERS WERE SHIPPED AND INFLUENCE BY ADAM SMITH'S GREAT WORKS, THEORY OF MORAL VIRTUE AND THE WEALTH OF NATIONS, THE PRESIDENT ISSUED BY TO WORKS -- I SHAPEDS SHAPED BY TWO WORKS. |
| 00:15:47 | THE NOTION THAT PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR THEIR INTEREST COLLECT -- CREATE A COLLECTIVE INTEREST. |
| 00:15:57 | THERE IS AN INVISIBLE HAND THAT IS SMARTER THAN ANY GOVERNMENT. |
| 00:16:00 | THESE ARE FUNDAMENTALLY ANTITHETICAL VISIONS OF THE WORLD. |
| 00:16:04 | I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE BANNED THE JOB CREATOR TWICE. |
| 00:16:12 | IN 1978, 1979 I WORKED WITH JACK KEMP AND OTHERS IN DEVELOPING THE SUPPLY SIDE ECONOMICS. |
| 00:16:22 | IT IS A SIMPLE MODEL. |
| 00:16:23 | YOU WANT SOUND MONEY, LOWER TAXES, LESS REGULATION, MORE AMERICAN ENERGY, AND YOU WANT TO PRAISE THE PEOPLE WITH THE COURAGE TO CREATE JOBS. |
| 00:16:40 | [APPLAUSE] NOTICE THAT THIS COOKBOOK IS THE OPPOSITE OF OBAMAISM. |
| 00:16:45 | SOUND MONEY, INFLATION. |
| 00:16:47 | BERNANKE IS DOING AND POURING MONEY OUT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE. |
| 00:16:52 | IT IS DANGEROUS. |
| 00:16:54 | LOWER TAXES, HIGHER TAXES. |
| 00:16:57 | LESS REGULATION, MORE REGULATION. |
| 00:16:59 | MORE AMERICAN ENERGY, ANTI- AMERICAN ENERGY. |
| 00:17:03 | PRAISE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO CREATE JOBS, CLASS WARFARE. |
| 00:17:07 | IS IT ANY WONDER THIS ADMINISTRATION IS SUCH A MESS? |
| 00:17:11 | THEIR CORE FORMULAS ARE PERFORMING WRONG. |
| 00:17:15 | I PROBABLY SHOULD NOT SAY THIS BUT I CANNOT HELP MYSELF. |
| 00:17:19 | I SAW THE PRESIDENT TODAY. |
| 00:17:23 | DID ANYONE SEE THE PICTURE? |
| 00:17:25 | THE PRESIDENT GETTING IN A VOLT? |
| 00:17:28 | HE -- I WILL GET TO THAT. |
| 00:17:37 | DO NOT GET AHEAD OF MY STORY. |
| 00:17:41 | I -- THERE IS THIS SCENE. |
| 00:17:48 | IF YOU WATCH CABLE NEWS, THE REPEAT EVERY HALF-HOUR SO YOU CAN PICK UP 10% AND BY THE END OF THE DAY YOU HAVE GOT ALL THAT. |
| 00:18:01 | AT SOME POINT, OBAMA GOES AS PART OF HIS GREENNESS TO JUMP IN A VOLT. |
| 00:18:14 | CTHEY HAD THIS PICTURE OF HIM GETTING IN THE CAR AND UNDERNEATH IT TALKS ABOUT HOW ALL THE VOLTS ARE BEING RECALLED. |
| 00:18:27 | IT IS A PITY WE CANNOT RECALL HIM ALONG WITH THE VOLTS. |
| 00:18:33 | [APPLAUSE] IF A DEFECTIVE CAR IS BAD, WHAT ABOUT A DEFECTIVE PRESIDENT? |
| 00:18:43 | ANYWAY, THIS IS THE TWO MODELS. |
| 00:18:46 | I AM AN HISTORIAN. |
| 00:18:47 | I AM AN HISTORIAN IN LARGE PART BECAUSE IMITATION IS CHEAPER THAN INVENTION. |
| 00:18:53 | THIS IS SORT OF LIKE HOW PEOPLE DEVELOP COOKBOOKS. |
| 00:18:58 | ON THE LEFT, YOU HAVE THIS MODEL. |
| 00:19:01 | IT IS TECHNICALLY TRUE. |
| 00:19:06 | IF YOU LEAVE AND A GUY IN THE FREEZER LONG ENOUGH, IT WILL BECOME HARD. |
| 00:19:11 | -- AN EGG IN THE FREEZER LONG ENOUGH, IT WILL BECOME HARD. |
| 00:19:17 | IF YOU BOIL IT FOR A WHILE, BOTH PRODUCE HARD EGGS. |
| 00:19:24 | THSIIS ONE IS DUMB. |
| 00:19:26 | IF YOU ELECT A LEFT-WING ACADEMIC BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE. |
| 00:19:33 | LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE BASED ON HISTORIC FACT. |
| 00:19:37 | THERE ARE TOO TERRIFIC EXAMPLES. |
| 00:19:40 | FIRST IS JOBS. WHAT IS THE RESULT OF SOUND MONEY, LOWER TAXES, LESS REGULATION, PRAISE FOR JOB CREATORS? |
| 00:19:47 | RONALD REAGAN CUTS THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN HALF. |
| 00:19:51 | IN AUGUST 1983, WE CREATE 1,300,000 NEW JOBS. |
| 00:19:56 | IF YOU TAKE THE REAGAN RECOVERY OVER OUR CURRENT POPULATION, YOU WOULD BE 25 MILLION JOBS IN SEVEN YEARS. |
| 00:20:05 | AFTER REAGAN WE HAVE TWO TAX INCREASES. |
| 00:20:11 | THE ECONOMY STAGNATES. |
| 00:20:13 | I GET ELECTED SPEAKER. |
| 00:20:14 | WE GO BACK TO THE FIRST TAX CREDITS IN 16 YEARS AND THE CAPITAL GAINS CUT AND UNEMPLOYMENT DROPS. |
| 00:20:21 | WE CREATE 11 MILLION NEW JOBS. |
| 00:20:23 | THESE ARE PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD EXPERIMENTS. |
| 00:20:27 | THEY WORK. |
| 00:20:28 | WE HAD TO EXPERIMENT IN LEFT- WING ECONOMICS. |
| 00:20:34 | JIMMY CARTER, WHO CREATED 13% INFLATION, 22% INTEREST RATES, RISING UNEMPLOYMENT AT 10. |
| 00:20:43 | 8% AND THE GASOLINE RATIONING PROGRAM IN WHICH A GOOD BASS -- BY GASOLINE EVERY OTHER DAY -- BUY GASOLINE EVERY OTHER DAY. |
| 00:20:52 | A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE WAS 13 THE YEAR. |
| 00:20:58 | EVERY MORNING, HIS FATHER WOULD SEND HIM OUT BACK WITH A SCREWDRIVER TO MAKE SURE THE RIGHT LICENSE PLATE WAS ON A HARD -- THE CAR THAT NEEDED GASSING. |
| 00:21:09 | NOW, I DRIVE FROM THAT THE FOLLOWING TEST YOU CAN GIVE YOUR NEIGHBORS WHETHER THEY'RE LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE. |
| 00:21:18 | IF YOU LEARN THE GOVERNMENT HAS DONE SOMETHING DUMB ENOUGH THAT WE'RE TEACHING 13-YEAR-OLD HOW TO BREAK RULES, AND IF YOU ARE CONSERVATIVE YOU SAY WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE REGULATION BECAUSE IT IS STUPID. |
| 00:21:33 | IF YOU'RE A LIBERAL, YOU SAY, THIS IS WHY WE NEED A LICENSE PLATE POLICE AT EVERY GAS STATION. |
| 00:21:41 | IT IS ABOUT COERCION. |
| 00:21:45 | IMPOSING YOUR WILL ON A FREE PEOPLE. |
| 00:21:48 | THAT IS THE CONTEXT IN WHICH THIS ELECTION IS GOING TO BE HELD. |
| 00:21:53 | THE FIRST IS, WE KNOW HISTORICALLY FOR FACT IF YOU FOLLOW THESE GOALS, SOUND MONEY, LOWER TAXES, LESS REGULATION, MORE AMERICAN ENERGY, AND PRAISING THE PEOPLE WHO CREATE JOBS, YOU WILL HAVE A BOOM OF EMPLOYMENT IN THE UNITED STATES. |
| 00:22:11 | THEREFORE, I AM RUNNING ON A TICKET TO GO TO -- IF YOU GO TO NEWT. |
| 00:22:21 | ORG, THERE IS THIS PROGRAM. |
| 00:22:24 | YOU TAKE THE COOKBOOK THAT WORKS, NOT THE ONE THAT FAILS. |
| 00:22:31 | LET ME GIVE YOU A SECOND HISTORIC EXAMPLE. |
| 00:22:34 | IF YOU WANT TO SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY, YOU WANT TO ALLOW YOUNG AMERICANS TO HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE A PERSONALS SOCIAL SECURITY SAVINGS ACCOUNT. |
| 00:22:46 | EVERYBODY WHO WANTS TO CAN STAY IN THE CURRENT SYSTEM. |
| 00:22:50 | YOU ARE NOT MAKING THEM LEAVE. |
| 00:22:52 | YOU ARE SAYING, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE YOUR HALF OF THE PERSONAL TAX PART OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY TAX AND PUT IT DIRECTLY INTO A SAVINGS ACCOUNT YOU WILL CONTROL. |
| 00:23:02 | NO POLITICIAN WILL CONTROL IT. |
| 00:23:03 | BARACK OBAMA WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SAY AS HE DID I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SEND YOU A CHECK. |
| 00:23:10 | THIS IS NO LONGER A THEORY. |
| 00:23:12 | WE HAVE HISTORIC EVIDENCE FROM TWO PLACES. |
| 00:23:15 | GALVESTON, TEXAS, AND JULY. |
| 00:23:21 | -- CHILE. |
| 00:23:22 | I MET WITH THE HEAD OF THE CHILEAN OPERATION. |
| 00:23:28 | HE WAS THE ORIGINAL CREATOR OF THIS MODEL. |
| 00:23:34 | HERE ARE THE FACTS. |
| 00:23:36 | IF YOU ALLOW PEOPLE AT 16, 17, 18 OR 11 TO START PUTTING AWAY THE TAX PART OF WHAT THEY'RE DOING, IT BUILDS COMPOUND INTEREST FOR THEIR ENTIRE WORKING LIFETIME. |
| 00:23:49 | YOU ARE SAVING FOR A MINIMUM OF 50 YEARS. |
| 00:23:54 | COMPOUND INTEREST OVER 50 YEARS MEANS YOU END UP WITH TWO OR THREE TIMES MUCH MONEY AS IN THE CURRENT TRANSFER GROUP. |
| 00:24:02 | IN A BAD YEAR, YOU STILL HAVE MORE MONEY THAN THE BASE LINE SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM. |
| 00:24:10 | BOTH MODELS GUARANTEED YOU WOULD NEVER DROP BELOW THE MINIMUM SOCIAL SECURITY PATTERN. |
| 00:24:14 | IN 30 YEARS IN JULYCHILE, THEY HAVE NEVER WRITTEN ONE CHECK. |
| 00:24:24 | THERE IS A COUPLE OF SECONDARY EFFECTS. |
| 00:24:26 | IT MEANS WHEN YOU ARE SAVING, YOU ARE BUILDING UP YOUR OWN PERSONAL STAKE. |
| 00:24:32 | BECAUSE OF THE WAY SOCIAL SECURITY WORKS, IF YOU DIE BEFORE YOU RETIRE, ALL THE MONEY YOU PAID GOES TO THE GOVERNMENT. |
| 00:24:40 | NONE OF IT IS IN THE STATE. |
| 00:24:41 | THE GROUP THAT HURTS MOST IS AFRICAN-AMERICAN MALES BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE SHORTEST LIFE SPAN AND THE LEAST MONEY -- LIKELY TO GET THEIR MONEY BACK. |
| 00:24:53 | THIS WOULD DO MORE TO HELP AFRICAN-AMERICAN MALES THAN ANY OTHER GROUP. |
| 00:24:58 | SECOND, THE -- MARTIN FELDSTEIN AT HARVARD ESTIMATES IF YOU ALLOW PEOPLE TO VOLUNTARILY TO OPT IN AND THE SOCIAL SECURITY ACTUARY, THE PERSON WHO DOES THIS ANALYSIS ESTIMATED YOU WOULD HAVE 95% TO 97% OF PEOPLE OPT IN BECAUSE THE RETURNS ARE MASSIVELY BETTER. |
| 00:25:28 | IN ONE GENERATION YOU ELIMINATE 50% OF THE WEALTH INEQUALITY IN THE U. |
| 00:25:34 | S. EVERY SINGLE WORKER BECOMES AN INVESTOR AND A SAVER. |
| 00:25:38 | YOU HAVE LITTLE -- THIS DOES NOT COUNT ANY SECOND ORDER EFFECTS BECAUSE THEY LEARN THE VALUE OF COMPOUND INTEREST AND IT IS FUN TO HAVE SAVINGS BILL THAT. |
| 00:25:50 | YOU HAVE A BIGGER EFFECT THAT I AM DESCRIBING. |
| 00:25:53 | WHEN YOU HAVE THAT LEVEL OF SAVING EVERY SINGLE YEAR, THE AMOUNT IS ENORMOUS. |
| 00:25:58 | IN CHILE, THE SOCIAL SECURITY SAVINGS ARE 70% OF THE ANNUAL ECONOMY. |
| 00:26:06 | SO BIG THAT THEY ALLOW PEOPLE TO INVEST PART OF IT OVERSEAS BECAUSE THE ECONOMY CANNOT ABSORB IT ALL. |
| 00:26:13 | AS COMPARED TO OUR CURRENT INDEBTEDNESS, LET'S THINK ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE. |
| 00:26:20 | FINALLY, HE ESTIMATES BY THE END OF THIS CYCLE, THE FIRST GENERATION, THE ECONOMY IS $7 TRILLION OR $8 TRILLION BIGGER ANNUALLY. |
| 00:26:30 | THAT IS REINVESTED INTO THE ECONOMY AND CREATES MORE JOBS AT THAT MUCH HIGHER SALARIES ARE WORKS IN A CIRCLE. |
| 00:26:38 | YOU ARE SAVING SO YOU'RE GETTING A BIGGER BUILDUP AND THAT IS BEING INVESTED. |
| 00:26:44 | YOU CAN HAVE MORE SAVINGS. |
| 00:26:45 | THIS BECOMES AN AWKWARD SPIRAL OF RELATIVE WEALTH. |
| 00:26:48 | THE THING THAT IS GREAT ABOUT THIS -- I AM NOT DESCRIBING A THEORY. |
| 00:26:53 | WHEN PEOPLE START -- TALKED ABOUT IT WAS A THEORY. |
| 00:26:56 | I AM DESCRIBING TO PLACES WHERE IT WORKS. |
| 00:27:00 | GALVESTON AND CHILE. |
| 00:27:03 | EVERYBODY WANTS TO STAY IN THE CURRENT SYSTEM, YOU ARE SAFE. |
| 00:27:08 | I WOULD TAKE SOCIAL SECURITY OFF BUDGET. |
| 00:27:12 | IT WILL NEVER AGAIN BE HOSTAGE TO POLITICIANS PLAYING GAMES. |
| 00:27:17 | I WOULD PUT IT BACK AS A TRUST FUND AND I WOULD SAY, NO CONSIDERATION OF THE DEBT CEILING WOULD BLOCK IT. |
| 00:27:22 | IT HAS THE MONEY, IT SHOULD PAY THE MONEY AND THE POLITICIANS OUGHT TO KEEP THEIR HANDS OFF IT. |
| 00:27:33 | [APPLAUSE] LET ME ASK YOU ONE THING ABOUT NEW HAMPSHIRE. |
| 00:27:38 | WE ARE LOOKING AT DEVELOPING A PROGRAM FOR VETERANS WHERE WE WOULD BUILD A VETERANS CLACK IN THE NORTH COUNTRY THAT WOULD BE CONNECTED WITH TELEHEALTH SO YOU COULD GET SOPHISTICATED DIAGNOSTICS. |
| 00:27:55 | WE'RE EXPANDING BENEFITS TO GET CARE WITHOUT HAVING TO GO TO BOSTON. |
| 00:28:00 | WE'RE LOOKING TO USE A LOCAL DOCTOR OR HOSPITAL. |
| 00:28:04 | WE SHOULD NOT REQUIRE VETERANS IN MID-WINTER TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY TO BOSTON IN ORDER TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. |
| 00:28:14 | [APPLAUSE] LET ME ASK YOU THREE QUICK QUESTIONS. |
| 00:28:21 | HOW MANY ACUTE -- OF YOU AGREE THAT THE U. |
| 00:28:24 | S. IS VERY MUCH ON THE WRONG TRACK RIGHT NOW? |
| 00:28:30 | HOW MANY OF YOU AGREE THAT FIXING IT IS MORE THAN JUST BARACK OBAMA, IT INCLUDES THE BUREAUCRACY, THE LAWS, THE COURTS, THE WHOLE SYSTEM HAS TO BE PUT BACK ON THE RIGHT TRACK? |
| 00:28:43 | HOW MANY OF YOU AGREE THAT IF WE WIN THE ELECTION, THE OLD ORDER WILL FIGHT US EVERY DAY TO STOP US FROM GETTING IT BACK? |
| 00:28:53 | THE REASON I ASK IS THAT IS THE REASON I AM RUNNING. |
| 00:28:56 | IF WE'RE AT 4% UNEMPLOYMENT, 60 IN THE MIDDLE EAST, I WOULD NOT BE RUNNING. |
| 00:29:03 | I HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS. |
| 00:29:05 | AS SPEAKER, I HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME. |
| 00:29:07 | AND I HAD A PRETTY GOOD PRIVATE LIFE AND I WAS NOT GETTING BEATEN UP AND I WAS NOT HAVING PEOPLE TRY TO EMBARRASS ME AND I WAS NOT CRISSCROSSING THE COUNTRY SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. |
| 00:29:18 | WE HAVE TWO GRANDCHILDREN. |
| 00:29:20 | 10 AND 12. |
| 00:29:21 | THINK ABOUT WHAT KIND OF COUNTRY ARE THEY GOING TO INHERIT? |
| 00:29:25 | IT IS A MESS. |
| 00:29:26 | IT IS EMBARRASSING. |
| 00:29:29 | THIS LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WERE WORSE THAN USUAL. |
| 00:29:32 | I FELT I HAD TO RUN. |
| 00:29:36 | I THINK I HAD TO RUN. |
| 00:29:38 | BECAUSE I AM THE ONLY PLACE -- PERSON IN THE RACE TO HAS DONE THIS. |
| 00:29:44 | I WORKED TO SHAPE AN ELECTION AND CREATE A TEAM EFFORT. |
| 00:29:50 | WHO BROUGHT THE CANDIDATES TOGETHER. |
| 00:29:55 | WE PICKED UP THE U. |
| 00:29:56 | S. SENATE AND WE WON SIX SENATE SEATS BY A COMBINED MARGIN OF 75,000 VOTES. |
| 00:30:02 | AND WORKED IN A DEMOCRATIC HOUSE WITH TIP O'NEILL AS SPEAKER AND WE GOT ONE-THIRD OF THE DEMOCRATS TO VOTE TO FOR THE REAGAN TAX PROGRAM. |
| 00:30:10 | WE HAD NOT MADE IT BIPARTISAN. |
| 00:30:12 | THEN IT WOULD NOT HAVE PASSED. |
| 00:30:17 | YOU COULD NOT PASS IT AS A REPUBLICAN BROKER. |
| 00:30:19 | I WORKED EIGHT YEARS WITH REAGAN ON THE DEFEAT OF THE SOVIET EMPIRE. |
| 00:30:23 | AND WHEN I GOT ELECTED SPEAKER IN 1994, IT WAS A TEAM EFFORT. |
| 00:30:28 | WE HAD MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE SHOW UP -- SIGN UP. |
| 00:30:32 | IT WAS A POSITIVE CAMPAIGN AND DESIGN STRATEGICALLY TO UNIFY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. |
| 00:30:38 | THE LARGEST ONE PARTY INCREASE IN AN OFF-YEAR IN 1994. |
| 00:30:43 | 9 MILLION ADDITIONAL PUBLIC VOTES. |
| 00:30:45 | 1 MILLION FEWER DEMOCRATIC VOTES. |
| 00:30:49 | WE TOOK CONTROL. |
| 00:30:50 | IN 1993 -- WE LOADED ON EVERY SINGLE ITEM IN THE CONTRACT. |
| 00:30:55 | IT IS KEEPING OUR WORD MATTER. |
| 00:30:58 | -- DOES KEEPING OUR WORD MATTER? |
| 00:31:02 | I AM THE ONLY CANDIDATE RUNNING WHO UNDERSTANDS HOW TO DESIGN NATIONAL CAMPAIGNS AND UNDERSTANDS HOW TO IMPLEMENT REAL CHANGE WANT TO GET ELECTED. |
| 00:31:12 | WE WATCHED THREE YEARS OF AN AMATEUR. |
| 00:31:15 | I THINK A CONSERVATIVE AMATEUR OR MODERATE AMATEUR IS NOT GOING TO BE DRAMATICALLY BETTER THAN A LIBERAL AMATEUR. |
| 00:31:21 | IT WILL BE BETTER THAN OBAMA. |
| 00:31:24 | THE SCALE OF CHANGE YOU DESCRIBE WILL TAKE A LEVEL OF LEADERSHIP THAT IS AMAZING. |
| 00:31:29 | IT CANNOT BE MY LEADERSHIP. |
| 00:31:31 | I TELL EVERY AUDIENCE, I WILL NOT ASK YOU TO BE FOR ME. |
| 00:31:35 | IF YOU ARE FOR ME, YOU'LL VOTE AND GO HOME AND SAY, I HOPE HE GETS IT DONE. |
| 00:31:42 | THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE. |
| 00:31:43 | THIS IS SUCH A BIG MESS THAT NOT EVEN THE PRESIDENT CAN GET US OUT OF THE DITCH BY HIMSELF. |
| 00:31:49 | I WILL ASK YOU TO BE WITH ME FOR THE NEXT EIGHT YEARS. |
| 00:31:54 | I WILL ASK YOU TO BE SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH ME, REMINDING CONGRESS EVERY DAY, THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO GET DONE. |
| 00:32:03 | REMINDING THE GOVERNOR AND THE STATE LEGISLATURE, THE TOWNSHIP, THE CITY COUNCIL, THE SCHOOL BOARD. |
| 00:32:10 | I WANT YOU TO BE WITH ME BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO MAKE MISTAKES TREATED YOU CANNOT HAVE CHANGED ON THE SCALE AND NOT MAKE MISTAKES. |
| 00:32:18 | EXCUSE ME. |
| 00:32:19 | I WANT TO BUILD A SOCIAL NETWORK SO IF YOU SEE AS MAKING A MISTAKE, YOU LET US KNOW. |
| 00:32:25 | IF YOU SEE THE WORLD IS CHANGING AND WE DO NOT GET IT, YOU LET US KNOW. |
| 00:32:30 | IF YOU HAVE A BETTER IDEA, LET US KNOW. |
| 00:32:34 | 537 ELECTED PEOPLE ARE NOT THAT SMART. |
| 00:32:37 | THEY PROVE IT EVERY DAY. |
| 00:32:40 | [LAUGHTER] FIVE OR 10 OR 15 MILLION AMERICANS COULD CREATE A COLLECTIVE EFFORT THAT WOULD BE AMAZING. |
| 00:32:47 | FINALLY, I WANT YOU TO BE WITH ME FOR A FUNDAMENTAL REASON. |
| 00:32:50 | IF WE'RE GOING TO IMPLEMENT THE 10TH AMENDMENT AND REDUCE THE BUREAUCRACY IN WASHINGTON, ARE RETURNING POWER BACK HOME, WE HAVE TO GROW CITIZENSHIP TO REPLACE IT. |
| 00:33:03 | IS THAT SIMPLE. |
| 00:33:08 | -- IT IS THAT SIMPLE. |
| 00:33:10 | TWO REASONS I CAN BE BARACK OBAMA. |
| 00:33:14 | THE FIRST, HE IS RIGHT TO HAVE $1 BILLION. |
| 00:33:21 | HE WILL USE ALMOST ALL THAT NEGATIVELY. |
| 00:33:23 | THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO DEFEAT SOMEONE WHO HAS THAT MUCH RESOURCES. |
| 00:33:30 | THE FIRST IS, YOU HAVE TO DESIGN A CAMPAIGN AS WE DID IN 1980 AND 1984 AND IN '94. |
| 00:33:37 | YOU HAVE TO DESIGN A CAMPAIGN WHERE THE TWO SIDES ARE THIS FAR APART. |
| 00:33:41 | YOU WANT HIS BILLION DOLLARS TO FALL IN THE MIDDLE. |
| 00:33:43 | IF YOU RUN A CAMPAIGN THAT THIS IS THIS CLOSE -- THAT IT IS THIS CLOSE, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE YOU. |
| 00:33:53 | THEY CAN SIMPLY LIE. |
| 00:33:55 | WHEN YOU CAMPAIGN THIS FAR APART AS TO THE CARTER DISCOVERED, EVEN WHEN THEY LIKE IT DOES NOT WORK. |
| 00:34:04 | CARTER WOULD SAY SOMETHING FALSE AND THE JOKE WOULD BE, THERE YOU GO AGAIN AND THE COUNTRY GOT IT. |
| 00:34:11 | FOOD STAMPS, PAYCHECKS, ANTI- AMERICAN ENERGY, PRO-AMERICAN ENERGY. |
| 00:34:19 | YOU WANT THINGS TO BE THIS FAR APART? |
| 00:34:21 | I CAN DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT A CAMPAIGN LIKE THAT. |
| 00:34:24 | I AM THIS PERSON. |
| 00:34:26 | I AM A REAGAN CONSERVATIVE. |
| 00:34:28 | I SPENT MY ENTIRE CAREER IN THE MOVEMENT. |
| 00:34:31 | I WENT TO A COLD WATER ORGANIZING MEETING IN 1964 AND DIRECT -- MET WITH REAGAN IN 1974. |
| 00:34:38 | SOMEONE WHO COMES OUT OF A MODERATE MASSACHUSETTS BACKGROUND IS BY DEFINITION HERE. |
| 00:34:44 | HOURI GOING TO EXPLAIN THAT ROMNEY -- HOW ARE YOU GOING TO EXPLAIN THAT ROMNEYCARE ISN'T THE SAME AS OBAMACARE? |
| 00:34:58 | HOW ARE YOU GOING TO EXPLAIN THE TAX INCREASES OR NOT TAX INCREASES, THERE WERE CALLED PHASE? |
| 00:35:08 | AN INCREASE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE COMMUTER TAX, THOSE ARE CALLED TAX INCREASES. |
| 00:35:15 | I VOTED AGAINST THE REAGAN 1982 TAX INCREASES AND THE BUSH 1990 TAX INCREASE AND THE CLINTON TAX INCREASE. |
| 00:35:24 | I HAVE A PRETTY CHEERFUL OPPOSITION, NO. |
| 00:35:28 | I COULD HAVE SERVED IN THE NEW HAMPSHIRE LEGISLATURE. |
| 00:35:33 | I WOULD HAVE BEEN MISERABLE IN MASSACHUSETTS BUT I WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. |
| 00:35:38 | I THINK -- YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO ELECT? |
| 00:35:43 | YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO WIN THE DEBATE. |
| 00:35:47 | IF YOU CANNOT WIN, YOU CANNOT BEAT OBAMA. |
| 00:35:50 | THAT IS WHY BECAUSE THE ISSUES ARE SO BIG, AS YOUR NOMINEE, I WILL CHALLENGE HIM TO 73 OUR DEBATES -- SEVEN THREE-HOUR DEBATES WITH A TIMEKEEPER BUT NO MODERATOR. |
| 00:36:07 | I WILL CONCEDE IN ADVANCE HE CAN USE A TELEPROMPTER. |
| 00:36:18 | [LAUGHTER] AFTER ALL, IF YOU HAD TO DEFEND OBAMACARE, WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO USE THE TELEPROMPTER? |
| 00:36:31 | I BELIEVE IN THE END HE WILL AGREE TO THE DEBATES. |
| 00:36:36 | FOR THREE REASONS. |
| 00:36:39 | HE ANNOUNCED IN FEBRUARY 2007 IN SPRINGFIELD, QUOTING LINCOLN, SECOND, THINGS LIKE OBAMA. |
| 00:36:48 | HOW DOES HE LOOK IN THE MIRROR? |
| 00:36:51 | GRADUAL -- GRADUATE OF COLUMBIA. |
| 00:36:54 | GRADUATE OF HARVARD LAW. |
| 00:36:55 | EDITOR OF "THE HARVARD LAW REVIEW. |
| 00:37:01 | " HOW DOES HE LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SAY TO HIMSELF, I AM AFRAID TO DEBATE SOME GUY WHO TAUGHT AT WEST GEORGIA COLLEGE? |
| 00:37:07 | HE IS NOT GOING TO DO IT? |
| 00:37:10 | -- HE IS NOT GOING TO DO IT. |
| 00:37:12 | THERE IS A THIRD REASON. |
| 00:37:15 | UNLIKE, THE PRESIDENT -- UNLIKE THE PRESIDENT, I STUDIED A LOT OF AMERICAN HISTORY. |
| 00:37:22 | LINCOLN HAD BEEN OUT OF AUSPICE -- OFFICE FOR 10 YEARS. |
| 00:37:27 | HE HAD BEEN A STATE LEGISLATOR. |
| 00:37:29 | HE WENT BACK HOME AND WAS IN PRIVATE PRACTICE FOR 10 YEARS. |
| 00:37:34 | HE IS ANNOUNCING AGAINST THE MOST FAMOUS DEMOCRATIC SENATOR AND A PROBABLE NEXT PRESIDENT. |
| 00:37:39 | HE SAID THERE ARE 105 DAYS LEFT IN THE CAMPAIGN, LET'S DEBATE EVERY DAY. |
| 00:37:45 | DOUGLAS WAS VERY FAMOUS AND SAID I DO NOT THINK SO. |
| 00:37:49 | THEY KNEW EACH OTHER VERY WELL. |
| 00:37:51 | THEY SERVED IN THE LEGISLATURE TODAY. |
| 00:37:56 | LINCOLN PICKED UP THE PATTERN. |
| 00:37:58 | WHEREVER DOUGLAS WENT, LINCOLN WOULD GO 24 HOURS LATER AND HE WOULD REBUT THE SPEECH. |
| 00:38:04 | AFTER THREE WEEKS, DOUGLAS FIGURED OUT THE NEWS COVERAGE WAS LINKEDIN'S WERE BOTTLE -- LINCOLN'S REBUTTAL. |
| 00:38:15 | HE WROTE LINCOLN, AND SAID, ALL RIGHT. |
| 00:38:22 | I WON'T GO BACK TO THE TWO YOU CHASED ME OUT OF BUT THE SEVEN. |
| 00:38:32 | THESE DEBATES WERE COVERED VERY INTENSELY. |
| 00:38:35 | THERE WERE COVERED IN EVERY MAJOR NEWSPAPER IN THE NORTH AND MANY IN THE SOUTH. |
| 00:38:39 | LINCOLN HAD THEM PRINTED UP AS A BOOK AND THEY WERE SOLD ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. |
| 00:38:44 | THERE WERE A MAJOR RISE -- PART OF HIS RISE TO PRESENT. |
| 00:38:48 | IF YOU WILL HELP ME NEXT TUESDAY AND WILL VOTE FOR ME AND TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN, IF I BECOME YOUR NOMINEE, IN THE ACCEPTANCE SPEECH IN TAMPA, IF THE PRESIDENT HAS NOT YET ACCEPTED THE SEVEN DEBATES, I WILL ANNOUNCE THAT FROM THAT NIGHT ON, THE WHITE HOUSE IS MY SCHEDULER AND WHEREVER THE PRESIDENT GOES, I WILL SHOW UP FOR HOURS LATER -- FOUR HOURS LATER AND I WILL ENTER HIS SPEECH ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY. |
| 00:39:24 | -- ANSWER HIS SPEECH ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY. |
| 00:39:29 | [APPLAUSE] I HAVE A HUNCH IN THE AGE OF INSTANT TELEVISION THAT WILL TAKE TWO WEEKS FOR THEM TO DECIDE TO RETHINK IT. |
| 00:39:36 | ONE LAST EXAMPLE AND I WILL TAKE QUESTIONS. |
| 00:39:40 | JUST TO SHOW YOU I BELIEVE IN IMITATION MORE THAN INVENTION. |
| 00:39:45 | IN 1979, 1980, REAGAN HAD A FAVORITE SAYING. |
| 00:39:49 | IF YOUR BROTHER-IN-LAW IS UNEMPLOYED, IT IS A RECESSION. |
| 00:39:54 | IF YOU ARE UNEMPLOYED, IT IS A DEPRESSION. |
| 00:39:58 | IF TO MAKE CARTER IS UNEMPLOYED, IT IS CALLED THE RECOVERY. |
| 00:40:02 | YOU MAY HEAR THAT USED LATER ON THIS YEAR IN THE GENERAL ELECTION WITH A DIFFERENT NAME THAN CARTER. |
| 00:40:08 | YOU'LL KNOW FROM TONIGHT WHERE IT STARTED. |
| 00:40:11 | IT DOES SOUND TO ME LIKE IT FITS BARACK OBAMA'S PRESIDENCY PRETTY WELL. |
| 00:40:16 | I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR QUESTIONS. |
| 00:40:26 | [APPLAUSE] LET'S SEE. |
| 00:40:29 | YES, MA'AM. |
| 00:40:31 | SHE IS BRINGING A MICROPHONE. |
| 00:40:37 | >> I KNOW YOU ARE. |
| 00:40:38 | I AM A U. |
| 00:40:42 | S. NAVY --[INAUDIBLE] |
| 00:40:45 | RIGHT NOW AS YOU SPEAK TO US, WE HAVE TWO SONS OF THIS NATION SERVING IN THE MIDDLE EAST. |
| 00:40:57 | AS WHAT BILL CLINTON DESIGNATED WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN. |
| 00:41:07 | IT IS MORE MEDIA FRIENDLY WAS HIS THEORY. |
| 00:41:15 | THEY ARE POW/MIA. |
| 00:41:17 | IF YOU ARE ELECTED TO THE OFFICE OF COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, WHAT STEPS WILL YOU TAKE TO ACCOUNT FOR THOSE TWO CHILDREN OF THIS NATION, AND TWO, RESTORE THE POW-MIA TERMINOLOGY AND RESTORING THE URGENCY TO THIS SITUATION? |
| 00:41:40 | AND IF IT IS FEASIBLE, IF IT IS A FEASIBLE VENTURE TO NEGOTIATE WITH OTHER COUNTRIES FOR THE SAFE RETURN OF AMERICAN JOURNALISTS AND AMERICAN HIKERS TO THE POINT THEY ARE ESCORTED HOME BY FORMER PRESIDENTS, IS IT NOT FEASIBLE TO DO THE SAME FOR AMERICAN MILITARY PERSONNEL, AND BECAUSE MY PERSONALITY IS THAT OF YOURS, -- >> DOES THAT MEAN GOOD? |
| 00:42:14 | >> IF YOU WOULD ACTUALLY GIVE ME AN ANSWER INSTEAD OF THE USUAL, I WILL LOOK INTO IT THAT I ALWAYS GET, SINCE YOU ARE ALREADY A FORMER SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, AND I ALREADY KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ON BOARD WITH FORMER SENATOR BOB SMITH FOR YEARS, YOU SHOULD ALREADY ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. |
| 00:42:37 | >> THE ANSWER IS YES. |
| 00:42:38 | I WOULD MOVE IMMEDIATELY, IF WE COULD DO IT BY EXECUTIVE ORDER, I WOULD DO IT ON THE DAY I AM SWORN IN AND CHANGED TO A POW- MIA CATEGORY AS OF THAT DAY. |
| 00:42:50 | IT WOULD HAPPEN THE FIRST DAY. |
| 00:42:52 | I WOULD ESTABLISH A TASK FORCE AND ASK BOB WHO HAS BEEN INVOLVED TO HELP ME PUT TOGETHER A TASK FORCE TO SEEK OUT THESE TWO PEOPLE AND TRY TO TRACK DOWN THEIR WHEREABOUTS AND THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES. |
| 00:43:04 | I WOULD MAKE THAT A HIGH PRIORITY. |
| 00:43:07 | WE SHOULD HAVE AN AGGRESSIVE ATTITUDE ABOUT RETURNING OUR YOUNG PEOPLE WHEN THEY ARE IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS. |
| 00:43:14 | IN SOME CASES IT MAY INVOLVE NEGOTIATING. |
| 00:43:18 | IN OTHER CASES IT MIGHT INVOLVE A COVERT OPERATION. |
| 00:43:22 | I DO NOT THINK WE SHOULD LEAVE A SINGLE AMERICAN BEHIND. |
| 00:43:25 | WE SHOULD NOT FORGET THE PEOPLE WHO SERVED THIS COUNTRY AND I SAY THAT AS THE SON OF A 27- YEAR- INFANTRYMAN WHO FOUGHT. |
| 00:43:38 | [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU. |
| 00:43:42 | >> ATTACKS ON CHARACTER ARE PART OF THE POLITICAL AND MEDIA NORM AND THEY ARE AFFECTED. |
| 00:43:51 | YOU HAVE NOT FOLLOWED THIS PATTERN SINCE THE CAMPAIGN BEGAN. |
| 00:43:54 | THIS IS EVIDENCE THAT YOU ARE DIFFERENT. |
| 00:43:56 | I HEARD GREAT =TA TELL YOU TO BE NEGATIVE OR YOU WILL NOT WIN. |
| 00:44:05 | IS THIS THE MEDIA BEATING YOU FOR IS SHE RIGHT? |
| 00:44:11 | B - 4 BE GONE? |
| 00:44:14 | >> WE WILL SEE. I -- WHAT HAPPENED WAS STRAIGHTFORWARD. |
| 00:44:20 | PEOPLE WATCHED THE DEBATES AND TO TALK TO EACH OTHER AND THERE WAS A SUDDEN BURST. |
| 00:44:26 | I ENDED UP BEING THE FRONT- RUNNER. |
| 00:44:32 | I WAS PULLING AWAY TO A DEGREE IF WE HAD A MONTH OF IT, WE WOULD HAVE BECOME THE FAVORITE. |
| 00:44:37 | AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, SEVERAL OF MY COMPETITORS FOUND THAT A FRIGHTENING PROSPECT. |
| 00:44:45 | THEIR RESPONSE WAS TO BE DISHONEST. |
| 00:44:49 | ONE OF THE ADS RUNNING FOUR PINOCCHIOS. |
| 00:44:58 | HOW HARD WOULD YOU HAVE TO DESIGN AND ADD TO HAVE FOUR DIFFERENT PINOCCHIOS? |
| 00:45:05 | THE STANDARD WOULD BE TO TAKE A PICTURE OF ROMNEY AND HAVE THE NOSE GROW. |
| 00:45:13 | THAT WOULD BE A CLEVER AD. |
| 00:45:15 | GINGRICH IS HITTING BACK. |
| 00:45:19 | THAT WOULD BE STUPID. |
| 00:45:21 | I AM RUNNING BECAUSE THIS IS ABOUT THESE YOUNG PEOPLE AND ABOUT MY TWO GRANDCHILDREN. |
| 00:45:29 | I'M GOING TO RUN A CAMPAIGN WERE THE OF MY GRANDCHILDREN. |
| 00:45:33 | -- WORTHY OF MY GRANDCHILDREN. |
| 00:45:38 | IF THEY HAVE SECRET PACS, THAT IS UP TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. |
| 00:45:48 | I AM NOT GOING TO USE THOSE TECHNIQUES BECAUSE I COULD NOT GOVERN IF I USE THOSE TECHNIQUES ANYMORE THEN GOVERNOR ROMNEY WILL BE ABLE TO. |
| 00:45:56 | YOU TRY TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY WITH THAT KIND OF STUFF, YOU HAVE NO RESERVOIR OF GOODWILL. |
| 00:46:01 | YOU HAVE NO CAPACITY TO GROW AND IN THE END YOU CANNOT GOVERN. |
| 00:46:06 | GEORGE W. |
| 00:46:07 | BUSH HELPED PROVE IT IN 2004. |
| 00:46:10 | HE JOHN KERRY IN A BUSH'S CAMPAIGN WHERE THE BOAT WAS SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN THE ANTI- BUSH VOTE AND HE TRIED TO PASS SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM AND HE COULD NOT GET OFF THE GROUND BECAUSE HE HAD A 48% OPPOSED FROM DAY ONE. |
| 00:46:25 | I DO NOT HAVE ANY DESIRE TO RUN TO BE PRESIDENT. |
| 00:46:28 | I HAVE A DESIRE TO HELP THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. |
| 00:46:32 | I THINK I CAN HELP BY BEING AN HONEST CITIZEN AND TELLING THE TRUTH. |
| 00:46:36 | I BELIEVE IN THE END WE WILL WIN DOING THAT. |
| 00:46:39 | I THINK WE WILL DO BETTER IN NEW HAMPSHIRE THAT PEOPLE EXPECT BECAUSE IF YOU DESCRIBE A MASSACHUSETTS MODERATE AND REMIND PEOPLE OF HIS RECORD, THEY WILL GO HE IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE. |
| 00:46:50 | IT IS A JOKE FOR HIM TO CALL HIMSELF A CONSERVATIVE. |
| 00:46:56 | IT IS A SKIT. BY THE TIME WE GET TO SOUTH CAROLINA IT WILL BE CLEAR THAT THERE IS A REAL CHOICE. |
| 00:47:04 | YOU HAVE A REGULAR REPUBLICAN WHO IS DETERMINED TO RUN A CAMPAIGN. |
| 00:47:07 | I DO NOT MIND CONTRASTS. |
| 00:47:10 | THESE ARE ISSUED BASED, PUBLIC POLICY DIFFERENCES ABOUT THINGS LIKE LIBERAL JUDGES VERSUS CONSERVATIVE JUDGES. |
| 00:47:19 | I AM NOT GOING TO ATTACK HIM PERSONALLY OR LIE ABOUT HIM. |
| 00:47:22 | IF THAT IS THE PRICE OF BEING PRESIDENT, I DO NOT WANT IT. |
| 00:47:27 | IT WILL NOT FIX ANYTHING IN WASHINGTON. |
| 00:47:36 | [APPLAUSE] WAY BACK THERE. |
| 00:47:40 | HE IS COMING TO YOU. |
| 00:47:45 | >> WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH THE CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCY IF HE WERE ELECTED? |
| 00:47:52 | -- YOU WERE ELECTED? |
| 00:47:56 | >> I WOULD EITHER OVERHAUL IT OR GET RID OF IT. |
| 00:47:59 | IF YOU WATCH THE WAY IT WORKS RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE MORE THE BUREAUCRATIC PROTECTION AGENCY THAN THEY ARE THE CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCY. |
| 00:48:09 | THE INCREASE YOUR COST. |
| 00:48:10 | THERE ARE THINGS YOU WANTED TO CHECK ON. |
| 00:48:12 | IF YOU HAVE A PRODUCT THAT IS DEFECTIVE AND YOU HAVE THIS COMMON YOU WANT TO HAVE SOME PLACE THAT IS LOOKING AT THIS. |
| 00:48:22 | YOU HAVE A PRODUCT THAT MIGHT BECOME FLAMMABLE. |
| 00:48:25 | YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THAT. |
| 00:48:26 | IF YOU LOOK AT THE STEPS THEY GET INTO, IT IS ABSURD. |
| 00:48:33 | I WOULD REVIEW EVERY AGENCY. |
| 00:48:35 | ALL OF THE BUREAUCRACIES ARE RUN AMOK. |
| 00:48:40 | THE PENTAGON, TOO. |
| 00:48:41 | I AM A HAWK BUT I AM A CHEAP HAWK. |
| 00:48:45 | I DO NOT SEE ANY REASON TO ACCEPT WASTE IN UNIFORM THAN I SHOULD EXCEPT WASTE IN THE CIVILIAN SIDE. |
| 00:48:52 | I VERY STRONGLY FAVOR STRONG AMERICAN NOW. |
| 00:49:01 | THERE IS A GENTLE MAN HERE. |
| 00:49:05 | HE IS COMING TO YOU RIGHT THE SECOND. |
| 00:49:10 | >> MY NAME IS FIONA. |
| 00:49:13 | WHEN YOU ARE PRESIDENT, WHAT WERE YOUR POLICY BE TOWARD CHINA? |
| 00:49:22 | -- WHAT WILL YOUR POLICY BE TOWARD CHINA? |
| 00:49:25 | >> TO BE AS CLOSE TO THE CHINESE PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE AND AS DIRECT TO THE CHINESE DICTATORSHIP AS POSSIBLE AND TO MAKE A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE TWO. |
| 00:49:36 | IT IS A DICTATORSHIP. |
| 00:49:38 | AT TIMES IT IS OVERLY AGGRESSIVE. |
| 00:49:41 | I WOULD WANT TO REBUILD THE AMERICAN ECONOMY AND MANUFACTURING. |
| 00:49:45 | OUT WHAT TO BALANCE THE BUDGET AND PAY OFF THE DEBT. |
| 00:49:48 | I WOULD WANT AN AMERICAN MILITARY THAT IS RECAPITALIZED SO THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE NO ILLUSIONS ABOUT TO THE DIETARY MILITARY POWER WAS. |
| 00:49:57 | I WOULD TRY TO BE AS FRIENDLY AND AS OPEN AS POSSIBLE. |
| 00:50:04 | [APPLAUSE] NOW OVER HERE. |
| 00:50:08 | >> IT IS AN HONOR TO HAVE YOU HERE. |
| 00:50:11 | I IN 22 YEARS OLD. |
| 00:50:13 | I AM CURIOUS WHAT HOPE YOU CAN GIVE AMERICAN IN THESE DIRE TIMES. |
| 00:50:19 | THE PRINCIPLE OF ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY. |
| 00:50:25 | THE PROBLEMS WILL NOT BE SOLVED BY ONE ADMINISTRATION. |
| 00:50:29 | I KNOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ON THEIR WAY OUT. |
| 00:50:32 | IT MAY BE 10 YEARS, BUT A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE WILL HAVE PASSED AWAY. |
| 00:50:38 | I SAY THAT RESPECTIVELY. |
| 00:50:46 | [LAUGHTER] >> THAT IS CERTAINLY A LEVEL OF OPTIMISM WE HAVE NOT HAD ALL DAY. |
| 00:50:53 | CAN I SUGGEST AN ABILITY TO REVISE AND EXTEND HIS REMARKS TO MOVE FORWARD? |
| 00:51:03 | IT IS GOING TO GET WORSE. |
| 00:51:07 | BELIEVE ME. >> I'M NOT LOOKING TO DEFEND MYSELF. |
| 00:51:11 | I AM SERIOUS. |
| 00:51:12 | IN MY AGE BRACKET, THEY SAY POLITICS IS SOMETHING FOR OLD PEOPLE. |
| 00:51:19 | IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF THE ISSUES ARE CATERED FOR THEM. |
| 00:51:22 | WHAT HOPE DO I HAVE AS A HARD- WORKING AND INDIVIDUAL? |
| 00:51:27 | WHAT CHANGES WOULD YOU ACCOMPLISH IN WASHINGTON THAT'S WHAT CAN BE DONE IN EIGHT YEARS THAT WILL AFFECT THE LIFE I HAVE YET TO LIVE THE YOU HAVE ALREADY LIVED? |
| 00:51:49 | [LAUGHTER] [APPLAUSE] >> NO. |
| 00:51:51 | THERE ARE MOMENTS IN THIS BUSINESS WHERE I AM LEFT SPEECHLESS. |
| 00:51:59 | LET ME SUGGEST TO YOU THAT IF WE HAD THIS MEETING IN 1859, A PERSON MIGHT HAVE ASKED THAT QUESTION AND WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED TO THEM THAT IN TWO YEARS THEY WOULD BE VOLUNTARILY FOR THE URGING OF VOLUNTEERING FOR THE -- THAT THEY WOULD BE VOLUNTEERING FOR THE CONFEDERATE ARMY. |
| 00:52:26 | IF WE HAD THIS IN 1939, IT WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED TO THEM THAT THERE WAS A WORLD WAR ON THE EDGE AND THAT IT WOULD CHANGE THEIR LIFE FOREVER. |
| 00:52:37 | I WILL GIVE YOU A COUPLE OF SMALL EXAMPLES. |
| 00:52:42 | I HAVE A VERY DEEP FUNDAMENTAL DISAGREEMENTS WITH CONGRESSMEN RON PAUL ABOUT THE THREAT OF A NUCLEAR AND RON -- IRAN. |
| 00:52:56 | YOUR FRIENDS MAY THINK THAT IS AN ALL PERSONS CONCERNED, BUT I SUGGEST YOU LOOK AT THE IMPACT OF A NUCLEAR WEAPON GOING OFF IN BOSTON. |
| 00:53:06 | YOU ASK YOURSELF HOW MANY OF YOUR FRIENDS MIGHT HAVE MOVED TO THE BOSTON AREA AND BE WITHIN THE FALLOUT RANGE DEPENDING ON WHICH WAY THE WIND IS BLOWING? |
| 00:53:15 | WOULD THAT BE OF CONCERN OR SHOULD WE ALL THE STUPID UNTIL AFTER IT HAPPENED STACKIS? |
| 00:53:34 | IF THE STREET GETS BLOCKED, OIL WILL JUMP ABOUT $200 A BARREL. |
| 00:53:42 | WHY DID AND YOUNG PEOPLE DEMAND THAT THEIR GOVERNMENT TO ADOPT AN AMERICAN ENERGY POLICY SO WE HAVE LARGE RESERVES THAT WE COULD WHETHER THE IRANIANS BEING STUPID WITHOUT GOING INTO A DEPRESSION? |
| 00:53:55 | LOOK AT THE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT HAVE BUILT UP STUDENT LOANS BECAUSE THEY WERE SUCKERED IN BY THEIR GOVERNMENT TO BORROW MONEY AS IF THEY DID NOT HAVE TO PAY BACK. |
| 00:54:04 | THEY TIP YOUR GLASSES. |
| 00:54:06 | THEY DID NOT WORK TO PAY FOR ANYTHING. |
| 00:54:11 | -- THEY CONTINUED TO STAY CLASSIS. |
| 00:54:13 | THEY DID NOT WORK TO PAY FOR ANYTHING. |
| 00:54:16 | THEY'RE NOW LIVING WITH THEIR PARENTS. |
| 00:54:20 | OBAMA IS ALLOWING THEIR PARENTS TO KEEP THEM ON THEIR INTEREST UNTIL THEY ARE 26. |
| 00:54:25 | THE CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE SAID WITH A BETTER TO GET A JOB SO YOU FIGURE OUT INSURANCE? |
| 00:54:32 | WOULD IT TO ABOUT FROM YOUR PARENTS -- WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO MOVE OUT FROM YOUR PARENTS? |
| 00:54:41 | MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE A WORK STUDY PROGRAM SO PEOPLE DO NOT GET INTO THE HABIT OF BORROWING MONEY THEY CANNOT REPAY. |
| 00:54:48 | THESE ISSUES ARE DIRECTLY RELEVANT TO YOUR GENERATION. |
| 00:54:53 | ONE MORE. |
| 00:54:54 | THIS GUY RIGHT HERE. |
| 00:55:00 | >> GOOD EVENING. |
| 00:55:01 | IT IS A REAL PLEASURE TO HAVE YOU HERE. |
| 00:55:05 | >> ARE YOU GOING TO SUGGEST ANYTHING ABOUT HOW SOON WE ARE PASSING AWAY? |
| 00:55:14 | >> [INAUDIBLE] LIKE I'M NOT SURE I CAN TAKE TWO IN A ROW. |
| 00:55:23 | >> IN TERMS OF NATIONAL SECURITY, I PERFORMS IN A CLUB IN FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA AT ONE TIME. |
| 00:55:34 | A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE PERFORMING THERE WITH US, EVERY TIME HE WENT BY A PARTICULAR FELLOW THAT WAS SITTING UP FRONT, HE SAID "THAT GUY THERE, I GET SUCH A FEELING OF EVIL ABOTUUT HIM. |
| 00:55:59 | " ABOUT FOR FIVE WEEKS LATER WE SAW HIM UP ON THE TELEVISION. |
| 00:56:08 | THIS FELLOW FELT THE EVIL. |
| 00:56:09 | THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE IN OUR GENERAL AREA. |
| 00:56:15 | WE DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE. |
| 00:56:18 | WE HAVE TO KEEP OUR GUARD UP. |
| 00:56:21 | THANK GOD FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT ARE GOING TO SUPPORT US. |
| 00:56:27 | I DO HAVE A QUESTION. |
| 00:56:31 | WHAT WOULD BE YOUR STAND AS FAR AS OUR ROLE IN IN UTHE UN? |
| 00:56:39 | THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT REDUCING OUR ROLE. |
| 00:56:46 | >> I COCHAIRED WITH THE CENTER GEORGE MITCHELL. |
| 00:56:52 | WE REVIEWED IT INTENSELY. |
| 00:56:54 | IT IS AMAZINGLY BUREAUCRATIC. |
| 00:56:56 | IT IS VERY CORRECT. |
| 00:56:58 | THE ASSEMBLY IS DOMINATED BY TINY DICTATORSHIPS. |
| 00:57:02 | WE TOLERATE IT IT. |
| 00:57:03 | IF I WERE TO BECOME YOUR PRESIDENT, EVERY AMBASSADOR WILL HAVE AS ONE OF THEIR TOP THREE OR FOUR ITEMS GETTING THE B VOTE OF THE COUNTRY THEY ARE ASSIGNED TO. |
| 00:57:19 | WE WILL START DEVELOPING A RELATIONSHIP OF ON DEMOCRACIES TO HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE SYSTEM. |
| 00:57:25 | I WILL CUT OUT A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF AMERICAN MONEY. |
| 00:57:29 | IT IS SUCH A CORRUPT SYSTEM. |
| 00:57:33 | IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH IT IS A VEHICLE OF ANTI-AMERICA AND ANTI-ISRAELI PROPAGANDA. |
| 00:57:43 | WE DO NOT NEED TO TOLERATE IT. |
| 00:57:47 | THERE ARE 2300 COUNTIES. |
| 00:57:49 | YOU COULD SUGGEST THE ODD TO GET A VOTE BECAUSE THEY MOSTLY HAVE LARGER POPULATIONS. |
| 00:57:56 | WE CURRENTLY HAVE THE UNITED STATES OUTVOTED BY FIJI. |
| 00:58:04 | WHAT IT LEADS TO IS THAT THE MOST CYNICAL NATION'S ABSOLUTELY OPERATE WITH NO MORAL COMPASS. |
| 00:58:11 | THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. |
| 00:58:13 | YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. |
| 00:58:16 | I AM FOR VERY AGGRESSIVELY TAKING ON THE SYSTEM CORRUPTION AND THE ANTI-AMERICAN IDEOLOGY AND INSISTING ON DEEP COMPREHENSIVE CHANGE. |
| 00:58:27 | ONE OF THE HARDEST JOBS I WILL NOMINATE IS AN AMBASSADOR TO THE UN WHO WILL FIND THEMSELVES ENGAGED IN CONSTANT CONFLICT, FORCING THE SYSTEM TO CHANGE IN TAKING IT HEAD ON. |
| 00:58:38 | IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT TOPIC. |

| 00:59:15 | WE'LL GET A CHANCE FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU TO TALK TO ME. |
