| 00:00:00 | WELL, LET ME LET YOU IN ON A LITTLE SECRET. |
| 00:00:02 | THE DEMOCRATS WERE IN CONTROL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, AND THEY REFUSED TO CREEP THEIR PROMISE AND -- KEEP THEIR PROMISE AND CONTROL THE SPENDING. |
| 00:00:11 | BUT IT' S DIFFERENT TODAY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. |
| 00:00:13 | HOW IS IT DIFFERENT? |
| 00:00:14 | NOW WE HAVE A REPUBLICAN CONGRESS, A REPUBLICAN CONGRESS THAT WILL KEEP THEIR PROMISES WITH BOB DOLE AND JACK KEMP. |
| 00:00:20 | THEY ARE THE ONES THAT WILL CUT THE TAXES, THEY ARE THE ONES THAT WILL CONTROL THE SPENDING! NOW I KNOW THAT BOB DOLE' S PLAN WILL WORK. |
| 00:00:30 | HOW DO I KNOW THAT? |
| 00:00:32 | BECAUSE I USED THE VERY SAME TOOLS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. |
| 00:00:36 | BOB DOLE' S PLAN PROVIDES A FAIR AND A SIMPLE ACROSS THE BOARD REDUCTION IN INCOME TAX RATES ALONG WITH A TAX CREDIT FOR CHILDREN AND A CAPITAL GAINS TAX CUT. |
| 00:00:49 | IN THE SAME SPIRIT, WE CUT TAXES IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND LIKE BOB DOLE, WE USED TAX RELIEF TO STRENGTHEN FAMILIES. |
| 00:00:57 | WE DID THIS THROUGH A TAX BREAK FOR PARENTS AND CHILDREN UNDER SIX. |
| 00:01:01 | AND LIKE BOB DOLE' S PLAN, WE CUT THE CAPITAL GAINS TAX. |
| 00:01:05 | AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED? |
| 00:01:08 | WE CREATED 230, 000 NEW BETTER- PAYING JOBS, AND AN UNPRECEDENTED 22 BILLION DOLLARS IN NEW INVESTMENT IN THE SMALL STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. |
| 00:01:17 | DOES TO WORK? |
| 00:01:18 | YOU BET IT WORKS! IT WILL WORK AGAIN, TOO! [ APPLAUSE] |
| 00:01:24 | LET' S LOOK AT IT. |
| 00:01:26 | LET' S THINK, THOUGH JUST A MINUTE. |
| 00:01:30 | TODAY A LOT OF AMERICANS FEEL THAT THEY ARE SQUEEZED IN THEIR JOBS. |
| 00:01:34 | THEY ARE ANXIOUS. |
| 00:01:35 | THEY DON' T HAVE ENOUGH FREE TIME. |
| 00:01:39 | k> D:^ W/ nK`< irn,, hh TAKE- HOME PAY, AND MANY PEOPLE ARE NOT CONVINCED THEY WILL EVEN HAVE THEIR JOBS NEXT YEAR. |
| 00:01:46 | THE FACTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. |
| 00:01:51 | IT' S A FACT THAT TODAY' S TAX BURDEN IS AT A RECORD HIGH. |
| 00:01:55 | THE TYPICAL FAMILY DOES PAY MORE IN TAXES A YEAR THAN IT SPENDS ON FOOD, CLOTHING AND SHELTER COMBINED. |
| 00:02:03 | LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THAT' S UNCONSCIONABLE. |
| 00:02:06 | IT IS ABSOLUTELY UNCONSCIONABLE. |
| 00:02:08 | BUT IT' S ALSO A FACT THAT THE AVERAGE WORKER' S WAGES AND BENEFITS ACTUALLY DECLINED UNDER BILL CLINTON. |
| 00:02:16 | IT' S A FACT THAT THE AVERAGE FAMILY WORKS SEVEN DAYS LONGER TO PAY THEIR 19 1995 TAXES THAN THEY DID WHEN BILL CLINTON WAS ELECTED. |
| 00:02:27 | MY GOSH, IF WE ELECT HIM AGAIN, THEY MIGHT HAVE TO WORK A MONTH TO PAY THEIR TAXES. |
| 00:02:32 | WE CAN' T HAVE THAT! WE GOT TO GET HIM OUT OF THERE! [ APPLAUSE] |
| 00:02:35 | LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT IS A FACT THAT INTEREST RATES HAVE JUMPED SINCE BILL CLINTON VETOED THE REPUBLICAN BALANCED BUDGET PLAN. |
| 00:02:44 | NOW THESE ARE THE FACTS, MY FRIENDS AND THEY ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. |
| 00:02:48 | WE WILL NOT ACCEPT THEM. |
| 00:02:50 | WE CAN DO BETTER. |
| 00:02:53 | I KNOW THIS. YOU KNOW THIS. |
| 00:02:55 | BOB DOLE KNOWS THIS. |
| 00:02:56 | OUR CHILDREN DESERVE BETTER. |
| 00:02:58 | THEY DESERVE BETTER THAN WHAT THEY ARE GETTING TODAY, AND BOB DOLE CAN SEE THAT THEY GET IT. |
| 00:03:04 | THE DOLE TAX CUT PLAN WOULD PUT 1272 DOLLARS A YEAR TO A FAMILY OF FOUR WITH AN INCOME OF 30, 000 DOLLARS. |
| 00:03:12 | THAT MEANS THAT PEOPLE WILL HAVE MORE OF THEIR HARD- EARNED MONEY TO SPEND ON THE THINGS THAT THEY NEED FOR THEIR FAMILIES, AND THEY CAN DO IT THE WAY THEY WANT TO, NOT THE WAY THE GOVERNMENT THINKS THEY OUGHT TO DO IT! THAT' S WHAT AMERICA IS ABOUT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,. |
| 00:03:26 | [ APPLAUSE] |
| 00:03:29 | THAT' S WHAT IT' S ALL ABOUT. |
| 00:03:32 | BOB DOLE. |
| 00:03:34 | LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOB DOLE HAS PRESENTED A PLAN TO RESTORE THE AMERICAN DREAM. |
| 00:03:39 | IT ADDRESSES THE HOPES OF HARDWORKING AMERICANS. |
| 00:03:42 | HE' S HEARD THE CRY OF CUT THE TAXES AND CONTROL THE SPENDING. |
| 00:03:47 | IT WILL MEAN MORE INVESTMENT, BRINGING GOOD- PAYING JOBS AND INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY. |
| 00:03:52 | IT WILL GIVE AMERICANS THE OPPORTUNITY TO REACH THEIR OWN POTENTIAL THROUGH THEIR OWN TALENTS AND THEIR OWN EFFORTS. |
| 00:04:01 | OUR QUESTION TONIGHT IS VERY SIMPLE: WILL WE LOOK TO THE FUTURE WITH OPTIMISM OR ANXIETY? |
| 00:04:09 | I FOR ONE AM LOOKING TO THE FUTURE WITH OPTIMISM BECAUSE BOB DOLE HAS THE CHARACTER TO RESTORE OUR AMERICAN DREAM. |
| 00:04:15 | WHAT IS CHARACTER, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN? |
| 00:04:18 | THOMAS PAYNE SAID TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE WORRIED ABOUT REPUTATION. |
| 00:04:22 | REPUTATION IS WHAT MEN AND WOMEN THINK OF US. |
| 00:04:25 | CHARACTER IS WHAT GOD AND THE ANGELS KNOW OF US, AND BOB DOLE HAS CHARACTER, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! THAT' S WHAT WE NEED IS CHARACTER! [ APPLAUSE] |
| 00:04:40 | 0 >> I' M ASKING YOU TONIGHT TO REDEDICATE YOURSELVES. |
| 00:04:42 | LET' S GO OUT TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. |
| 00:04:44 | LET' S ELECT BOB DOLE AND JACK KEMP AND NOVEMBER. |
| 00:04:48 | BECAUSE LET ME TELL YOU, HOW SERIOUS IT IS. |
| 00:04:52 | AMERICA, THIS IS YOUR FUTURE THAT' S AT STAKE. |
| 00:04:56 | AND WE WANT TO HELP SAVE IT. |
| 00:04:58 | GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS EVERYONE OF YOU, AND LET' S GO BOB DOLE! [ CHEERING] |
| 00:05:15 | >> TEN MEN, INCLUDING MYSELF, RAN FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. |
| 00:05:18 | BUT BOB DOLE BEAT THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ALL OF US. |
| 00:05:23 | AND HE EARNED THE RIGHT TO BE A REPUBLICAN NOMINEE. |
| 00:05:26 | IT' S TIME WE ALL RALLIED BEHIND BOB DOLE. |
| 00:05:28 | BOB DOLE' S PLAN FOR RESTORING THE AMERICAN DREAM IS THE BEST PATH TO LEAD AMERICA INTO THE NEXT CENTURY. |
| 00:05:36 | I WANT TO THANK ALL OF THOSE WHO SUPPORTED ME. |
| 00:05:39 | BUT THE TIME HAS COME TO PICK UP THE TORCH FOR BOB DOLE. |
| 00:05:43 | DON' T SIT ON THE SIDELINES. |
| 00:05:44 | GET IN THE GAME AND TURN OUT THE VOTE FOR BOB DOLE. |
| 00:05:51 | GO BOB! [ APPLAUSE] |
| 00:06:01 | >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE TAS RAILROAD COMMISSION, THE HONORABLE CAROL KEATON RYLANDER. |
| 00:06:20 | [ APPLAUSE] |
| 00:06:22 | >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. |
| 00:06:30 | THANK YOU VERY MUCH. |
| 00:06:32 | >>> AS AMERICA, WE STAND ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS, IMMIGRANTS, FROM THE MAYFLOWER TO MEXICO, WHO CAME TO THIS COUNTRY WITH THE AMERICAN DREAM BURNING IN THEIR HEARTS. |
| 00:06:43 | AS REPUBLICANS, OUR PARTY REFLECTS THIS IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCE. |
| 00:06:46 | IT' S THE HOME FOR ALL WHO SHARE THE IDEALS OF FAITH, FAMILY, FREEDOM IaD INDIVIDUAL OPPO: h( p}[ RK1# Gz% WHETHER YOU WERE AMERICAN- BORN, OR YOU CHOSE TO BECOME AN AMERICAN, WE KNOW OUR AMERICA OF TOMORROW IS ROOTED IN THAT SAME PIONEER SPIRIT, TIED TO THE ROOTS OF OUR HISTORY AND TRADITION, BUT FREE FROM DRUG TRAFFICKERS, AND FREE FROM LAW- BREAKERS CROSSING OUR BORDERS. |
| 00:07:13 | EACH YEAR THE UNITED STATES WELCOMES MORE LEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO OUR SHORES, THAN ALL OTHER COUNTRIES COMBINED. |
| 00:07:20 | ETHNIC DIVERSITY WITHIN A SHARED NATIONAL CULTURE IS ONE OF OUR GREATEST STRENGTHS. |
| 00:07:27 | HERE IN SAN DIEGO, I MET A WOMAN WHOSE STORY IS TYPICAL OF SO MANY OF OUR OWN FAMILIES' AND FRIENDS'. |
| 00:07:41 | MONICA? |
| 00:07:42 | >> MY NAME IS MONICA CANO POWELL. |
| 00:07:47 | MY GRANDPARENTS, ON MY MOTHER' S SIDE, CAME WITH THEIR CHILDREN FROM CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO. |
| 00:07:52 | MY GRANDFATHER WAS A WELDER, WHO SERVED IN THE U. |
| 00:07:57 | S. NAVY, IN WORLD WAR II. |
| 00:07:58 | MAMA- LOLA AND PAPA- QUICO, WHEN THEY WERE IN THEIR LATE 40' S, MADE THE CHOICE TO BECOME U. |
| 00:08:02 | S. CITIZENS. |
| 00:08:03 | MY GRANDPARENTS, ON MY FATHER' S SIDE, CAME FROM LEON AND GUADELAJARA. |
| 00:08:09 | THEY HAD GREEN CARDS, AND WORKED HARD, RUNNING A SMALL GROCERY STORE, IN WHAT IS NOW WATTS. |
| 00:08:17 | MY FATHER RECEIVED A GOOD EDUCATION, AND, AFTER COLLEGE, BECAME A SCHO TEACHER, AND, THEN, FOR EXTRA SUPPORT FOR ME AND MY 12 BROTHERS AND SISTERS, A BAKER. |
| 00:08:29 | WHAT SEEMS CLEAR TO ME IS THAT THERE IS A RIGHT WAY, AND THERE' S A WRONG WAY TO COME TO THIS COUNTRY. |
| 00:08:40 | [ APPLAUSE] |
| 00:08:42 | BOTH MY GRANDPARENTS CAME HERE LEGALLY. |
| 00:08:44 | ON ONE SIDE, THEY CHOSE TO BECOME U. |
| 00:08:47 | S. CITIZENS, AND, ON THE OTHER, THEY HELD GREEN CARDS, AND KEPT THE CITIZENSHIP OF THEIR HOME COUNTRY. |
| 00:08:53 | FOR LEGAL IMMIGRANTS, AMERICA HOLDS A WEALTH OF OPPORTUNITY. |
| 00:09:03 | [ APPLAUSE] |
| 00:09:05 | >> THANKS, MONICA. |
| 00:09:07 | AS THE MOTHER OF FIVE SONS, AND THE GRANDMOTHER OF TWO BABY GIRLS, I BELIEVE THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS WOMEN' S OR MEN' S ISSUES. |
| 00:09:20 | [ APPLAUSE] |
| 00:09:21 | MEN, AS WELL AS WOMEN, ARE CONCERNED ABOUT CONTROLLING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. |
| 00:09:29 | REPUBLICa BUT WE ARE, ALSO, THE PARTY THAT PROTECTS THE NATIONAL INTEREST, AND PRESERVES THE AMERICAN DREAM. |
| 00:09:36 | AND WE MUST NEVER COMPROMISE, WE MUST NOT APOLOGIZE FOR OUR COMMITMENT TO UPHOLDING THE LAWS OF THIS LAND. |
| 00:09:44 | WE ARE A VERY GENEROUS COUNTRY, BUT OUR GENEROSITY SHOULD NOT BE MISTAKEN FOR FOOLISHNESS OR WEAKNESS. |
| 00:09:51 | WHILE REACHING OUT TO ALL, WE MUST DO MORE TO STOP THE FLOW OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. |
| 00:09:57 | TO THOSE WHO COME TO AMERICA LEGALLY, WE OPEN OUR ARMS, WE OPEN OUR HEARTS. |
| 00:10:04 | AMERICA CAN BE A DREAM COME TRUE. |
| 00:10:07 | TO THOSE WHO BREAK THE LAWS OF OUR LAND, WE WILL CONTROL OUR BORDERS, WITH EVERY OUNCE OF OUR DETERMINATION. |
| 00:10:14 | I AM APPALLED THAT BILL CLINTON' S CALL FOR IMMIGRATION REFORM GOES OUT ONLY WHEN THE CAMERA LIGHTS TURN ON, AND THEN HE EXPECTS US TO BEAR THE BURDEN OF HIS INDIFFERENCE AND NEGLIGENCE. |
| 00:10:28 | WE ARE THE PARTY OF CHANGE. |
| 00:10:29 | WE ARE THE PARTY OF RESULTS AND REFORM. |
| 00:10:31 | WE ARE THE PARTY OF MAINSTREAM AND MAIN STREET AMERICA. |
| 00:10:35 | BILL CLINTON IS OUT OF STEP, AND OUT OF TOUCH. |
| 00:10:39 | AND COME THIS NOVEMBER, BILL CLINTON WILL BE TOSSED OUT OF OFFICE BY THE HONORABLE BOB DOLE OF KANSAS. |
| 00:10:45 | THANK YOU VERY MUCH, AND GOD SPEED. |
