|
I FEEL IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TODAY MAKING ENDS MEET. WITH THE WAY THE ECONOMY IS. ... |
| 00:07:11 |
|
JUDY, WHAT THIS IS ONE WORD OR PHRASE YOU WOULD USE TO DESCRIBE AMERICA TODAY? |
| 00:07:17 |
|
WHY. |
| 00:07:20 |
|
WITH A LOT OF SAFETY ISSUES. CRIME. BEING MORE PREVALENT. MORE PEOPLE ARE FEARFUL. NOT ONLY BECAUSE... |
| 00:07:32 |
|
JOANNA, WORD OR PHRASE TO DESCRIBE HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT AMERICAED. |
| 00:07:36 |
|
I FEEL AMERICA IS IN A RECEPTION. IT IS MORE THAN JUST THE ECONOMY. THE TOTAL. |
| 00:07:42 |
|
HOW MAYBE OF YOU THINK THE COUNTRY IS IN A RECESSION? RAISE YOUR HANDS? ALMOST ALL OF YOU BUT NOT... |
| 00:07:54 |
|
I THINK WE'RE IN A SLOW PERIOD AND PATTERN OF GROWTH ECONOMICALLY AND NOW IS SHOWING SOME SIGNS OF... |
| 00:08:01 |
|
CAROLINE, NOT A RECESSION. |
| 00:08:03 |
|
NO, I THINK WE'RE MORE IN A PERIOD OF TRANSITION AND MORE OF A CROSSROAD. I DON'T THINK WE'RE IN A... |
| 00:08:11 |
|
ZONE NA, WORD OR PHRASE TO DESCRIBE AMERICA TODAY TO YOU. |
| 00:08:14 |
|
IT IS STILL THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. |
| 00:08:16 |
|
YOU STILL HAVE ALL OF THE PRIDE AND PATRIOTISM. |
| 00:08:17 |
|
I DO. |
| 00:08:19 |
|
EVEN WITH ALL OF THE CHALLENGES,. |
| 00:08:21 |
|
THERE ARE CHALLENGES. BUT, IT IS STILL THE BEST PLACE TO BE. |
| 00:08:26 |
|
HOW MANY OF YOU THINK AMERICA IS NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD. RAISE YOUR HANDS. YOU THINK AMERICA IS NUMBER... |
| 00:08:38 |
|
WHY? MORE THAN EVER, IN OUR COUNTRY, WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE BEING LAID OFF. ON A REGULAR BASIS, AND... |
| 00:09:02 |
|
WHY ISN'T AMERICA THE NUMBER ONE NOW. |
| 00:09:05 |
|
I THINK THAT OUR COUNTRY -- THIS ISN'T THE COUNTRY THAT I WAS BORN INTO. AND MOST OFTEN WHEN WE TALK... |
| 00:09:20 |
|
REACTION, COME ON, I WANT TO MAKE IT A DISCUSSION HERE. THIS IS -- YOU TWO TOOK VERY DIFFERENT POINTS... |
| 00:09:29 |
|
I THINK DEFINITELY WE ARE FACING GREAT CHALLENGES. BUT, I'M STILL GLAD THAT I'M HERE. |
| 00:09:36 |
|
IT'S A PRIVILEGE TO LIVE HERE. THERE IS NO OTHER PLACE THAT I WOULD WANT TO LIVE. |
| 00:09:41 |
|
I THINK THERE ARE OTHER COUNTRIES WHERE THEY CONSIDER PEOPLE FIRST -- I'M THINKING SPECIFICALLY ABOUT... |
| 00:10:06 |
|
I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS GOVERNMENT'S JOB TO MAKE ALL OF THIS STUFF WORK. YOU KNOW, I RAN A SMALL BUSINESS.... |
| 00:10:29 |
|
AND THE BIG COMPANIES DON'T HAVE TO TAKE A RISK. I'M VERY MUCH A BALANCED BUDGET KIND OF GUY AND I... |
| 00:10:44 |
|
WE HAVE CHOSE TONE LIVE HERE AND HOW MANY PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE HERE FROM OVERSEAS AND I HAVE NEVER... |
| 00:11:02 |
|
I SEE A LOT OF CORPORATE GREED STILL. THE MONEY THEY ARE MAKING ISN'T TRICKLING DOWN TO US. LIKE... |
| 00:11:20 |
|
I THINK WE'RE OUT OF BALANCE. EVERYTHING JUST -- I THINK OF THE PHRASE THAT I USED TO HEAR WHEN I... |
| 00:11:35 |
|
I SEE THAT, TOO, WITH, YOU KNOW, THE MIDDLE CLASS, DISAPPEARING MORE AND MORE. AND IS A CONCERN I... |
| 00:11:52 |
|
I THINK WE'RE A COUNTRY WITHOUT LEADERSHIP, LOSING OR MIDDLE CLASS, VERY QUICKLY. AND THE QUICKEST... |
| 00:12:03 |
|
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT. |
| 00:12:06 |
|
LOOK AT MR. EDWARDS, FOR EXAMPLE. RAN FOR PRESIDENT, NO LONGER -- INVOLVED IN THE SCANDAL WITH HIS... |
| 00:12:21 |
|
BUT HE WAS A MILLIONAIRE BEFORE THAT, BASED UPON HIS LEGAL PRACTICE. |
| 00:12:26 |
|
HE SHOULD BE SPEAKING FREE. |
| 00:12:27 |
|
THAT UPSETS YOU, WHAT HE DID UPSET YOU? |
| 00:12:31 |
|
AS I SAID, EARLIER, THE QUICKEST WAY TO RICHES IS THROUGH POLITICS. |
| 00:12:38 |
|
TWO EITHER OF THE NOMINEES, DO YOU THINK THEY USE THEIR POSITIONS FOR ECONOMIC GAIN. |
| 00:12:45 |
|
NOT YET. |
| 00:12:46 |
|
WOW. NOT YET. SO YOU EXPECT THEM TO? GO AHEAD. |
| 00:12:55 |
|
THE SENATORS, I THINK -- THE SENATOR -- THE POPULATION OF SENATOR, IS A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE CLUB THAT,... |
| 00:13:03 |
|
IF YOU LOOK AT THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION, WHERE THEY HAVE HAD A SPOT ABOUT THE... THE OPENING WHERE... |
| 00:13:18 |
|
POLITICS HAS TO COME -- YOU HAVE TO HAVE MONEY TO GET THE OFFICE, BECAUSE THE LITTLE PERSON ISN'T... |
| 00:13:31 |
|
LET ME TRY A CONCLUSION AND I WANT TO MOVE ON, HOW MANY OF YOU BELIEVE THERE IS TOO MUCH MONEY, SPECIAL... |
| 00:14:00 |
|
YOU DEFINE IT. DEFICHBT NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD WHO BELIEVES AMERICA WILL BE NUMBER ONE TEN YEARS... |
| 00:14:20 |
|
I SEE EDUCATION AS ONE OF THE BIGGEST. AS -- OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM REALLY NEEDS TO BE, YOU KNOW,... |
| 00:14:31 |
|
PATRICK, THE BIGGEST THREAT. |
| 00:14:35 |
|
I WOULD AGREE, THE EDUCATION, OUR NEXT GENERATION COMING UP IS NOT AS WELL EDUCATED AS WE WERE. IN... |
| 00:14:44 |
|
YEP? |
| 00:14:47 |
|
I BELIEVE THE THREAT -- CHINA AND INDIA ARE CHANGING RAPIDLY. AND COMPETING WITH AMERICA ON A GLOBAL... |
| 00:15:15 |
|
WHAT THIS IS BIGGEST THREAT TO AMERICA TEN YEARS FROM NOW AND BY THE WAY ALL OF AMERICA IS NOW WATCHING... |
| 00:15:24 |
|
COMPETITION ABROAD, LIKE TOM SAID, OUR COMPETITION WITH INDIA AND CHINA AND I THINK OUR DEPENDENCE... |
| 00:15:32 |
|
LAST QUESTION -- GO AHEAD. |
| 00:15:33 |
|
BIGGEST PROBLEM I SEE IS WE NO LONGER HAVE THE AMERICAN DREAM. IT IS GETTING FADED. HARD TO GET AHEAD.... |
| 00:16:22 |
|
LOOK AT OUR TWO MOST POPULAR SHOWS IN RECENT YEARS. WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE, AND INSTANT RICHES... |
| 00:16:31 |
|
LET ME ASK YOU THIS QUESTION. HOW MANY OF YOU TODAY BY SHOW OF HANDS ARE BETTER OFF IN YOUR -- THAN... |
| 00:17:05 |
|
FNTION I'M BETTER OFF FINANCIALLY THAN MY PARENT AND MY CHILDREN WILL BEER OFF FINANCIALLY THAN ME... |
| 00:17:15 |
|
WHAT DO YOU MEAN. |
| 00:17:18 |
|
I THINK AMERICANS HAVE BECOME PASSIVE AND ALLOW THINGS TO HAPPEN THAT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. |
| 00:17:22 |
|
JOHN? |
| 00:17:25 |
|
I TEND TO AGREE WITH HER COMMENT. EVEN THOUGH I THINK IT IS YOU KNOW -- THE -- AMERICA IS THE BEST,... |
| 00:17:54 |
|
COMMENTS? |
| 00:17:56 |
|
THERE ARE A LOT OF CANADIANS WHO LIKE CANADA BETTER AND A LOT OF EUROPEANS WHO THINK WE ARE UPSIDE-DOWN... |
| 00:18:03 |
|
TWO COMMENTS, I THINK WE ARE STRUGGLING TO COPE WITH THE GLOBAL ECONOMY, AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO... |
| 00:18:32 |
|
THINK OF WHAT IT SERXZ WHAT YOU HAVE TOLD ME HERE, YOU ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CENTER OF AMERICA,... |
| 00:18:59 |
|
I LOOK AT THE FACTS WHEN MY PARENT BOUGHT A HOUSE THEY SPENT $17,000. WHEN WE BOUGHT A HOUSE, SIGNIFICANTLY... |
| 00:19:27 |
|
FOR YOU IT IS AN ISSUE OF AFFORDABILITY. |
| 00:19:30 |
|
MY PARENTS WERE ABLE TO WAIT AND THEY DIDN'T TAKE OUT HUGE MORTGAGES AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE CREDIT CARDS.... |
| 00:19:41 |
|
JOANNA. |
| 00:19:43 |
|
MY PARENT WERE HARD WORKERS, MY FATHER WAS A BUSINESS OWNER, HE WAS IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 50 YEARS.... |
| 00:20:02 |
|
HOW WILL I PAY MY BILLS. HOW AM I GOING TO SEND MY CHILDREN TO COLLEGE. ALL THOSE QUESTIONS. I DIDN'T... |
| 00:20:15 |
|
NO, NO, NO. BY THE WAY, I'M GOING TO -- THERE ARE PEOPLE BEHIND, THIS IS A ONE-WAY MIRROR AS WAS ... |
| 00:20:37 |
|
I THINK WE HAVE SERIOUS ECONOMIC ISSUES, THAT ARE GOING TO HIT IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS. |
| 00:20:42 |
|
WHO DO YOU BLAME FOR THAT. |
| 00:20:43 |
|
EVERYBODY IN GENERAL AND NO ONE IN PARTICULAR. AS AN EXAMPLE. LET ME -- HOW MANY POLITICIANS IN --... |
| 00:20:56 |
|
GOOD QUESTION. HOW HOW MANY OF YOU BELIEVEY BY SHOW OF HANDS THE POLITICIANS HAVE ADDRESSED THE QUESTION,... |
| 00:21:19 |
|
THEY ARE AVOIDING THE QUESTION. |
| 00:21:21 |
|
HOW DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL. |
| 00:21:23 |
|
DISAPPOINTING. BUT I AM TAKING CARE OF MYSELF. |
| 00:21:26 |
|
HOW DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL THEY ARE NOT GIVING SPECIFICS. |
| 00:21:29 |
|
VERY BAD BECAUSE I THINK THAT IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THEM. |
| 00:21:32 |
|
ZONA. |
| 00:21:33 |
|
SCARED. |
| 00:21:34 |
|
USING IT AS A POLITICAL ISSUE AND NOT AS A -- SOMETHING TO SOLVE. |
| 00:21:38 |
|
HOW ARE THEY GETTING AWAY WITH THIS? |
| 00:21:40 |
|
PASSIVE AMERICANS. |
| 00:21:43 |
|
PASSIVE AMERICANS? |
| 00:21:44 |
|
THAT'S YOUR PEOPLE RIGHT HERE. ARE YOU A PASSIVE AMERICAN. |
| 00:21:48 |
|
I HOPE NOT. |
| 00:21:49 |
|
ARE YOU GETTING THE SPECIFICS YOU WANTED FROM THE CANDIDATES. |
| 00:21:52 |
|
IN CERTAIN AREA, YES. BUT IT SEEMS AS IF WITH SOME OF THE LARGER TOPICS SUCH AS SOCIAL SECURITY, WHICH... |
| 00:22:09 |
|
EXERCISE HERE. ARE YOU GETTING SPECIFICS YOU WANT? |
| 00:22:13 |
|
THE ONLY SPECIFICS WE GOT ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY WERE FROM BUSH AND WHAT HE WANTED TO DO WAS PRIVATIZE... |
| 00:22:23 |
|
ARE YOU GETTING THE SPFX YOU WANT FROM THE CANDIDATES. |
| 00:22:26 |
|
NO, I'M NOT SENATE THE DEBATES. |
| 00:22:28 |
|
BUT THEY DON'T ADDRESS THE FACT THAT, HOW MANY THROWING A NUMBER, 10% OF THE WORKING POPULATION WILL... |
| 00:22:42 |
|
ARE THEY DRAEING IT, LOUISE? NO? HOW MANY DEBATES HAVE THERE BEEN AND FORUMS -- FORUMS. |
| 00:22:50 |
|
THEY SAY ONE THING -- THEY SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR SO THEY CAN GET YOUR VOTE, PERIOD. THAT WHAT... |
| 00:22:56 |
|
I PERSONALLY FEEL THEY ARE DRAEING IT, BECAUSE BARACK OBAMA AND HILLARY CLINTON MADE IT CLEAR THEY... |
| 00:23:17 |
|
NO. I HAVE HEARD NONE. |
| 00:23:20 |
|
HOW COULD THEY NOT AT THIS POINT IN THE CAMPAIGN. |
| 00:23:23 |
|
IT IS TOO EARLY IN THE CAMPAIGN FOR THEM TO GET REALLY SPECIFIC. |
| 00:23:26 |
|
IT IS SEPTEMBER! |
| 00:23:27 |
|
I KNOW. BUT -- |
| 00:23:28 |
|
THE ELECTION IS IN EIGHT WEEKS. |
| 00:23:30 |
|
BUT WE STILL HAVE TWO MONTHS AND WE PICKED THE VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. I THINK THEY ARE GOING... |
| 00:23:41 |
|
JIM AM I ASKING TOO MUCH. |
| 00:23:42 |
|
NO, I DON'T THINK THEY KNOW HOW TO TICKETS. I DON'T THINK ANYBODY KNOWS HOW TO TICKETS BECAUSE IT... |
| 00:23:57 |
|
IT DOESN'T NEED FIXING ALAN GREENSPAN, WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE MOST INTELLIGENT MAN IN THE UNIVERSE... |
| 00:24:07 |
|
HE IS BEHIND THE MIRROR. |
| 00:24:09 |
|
DID IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, WHY DIDN'T THEY LET IT SIT AND KEEP OR FINGERS OUT OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY... |
| 00:24:14 |
|
I THINK THEY HAVE NOT ADDRESSED IT BECAUSE ANY CURES THEY HAVE COME UP WITH WOULD NEED A SACRIFICE.... |
| 00:24:28 |
|
JOHN. |
| 00:24:30 |
|
I AGREE WITH HIM AND AND I THINK ANY STEP THAT YOU TAKE WILL BE DRASTIC. AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING THEY... |
| 00:24:36 |
|
YOU ARE TELLING ME THESE POLITICIAN DON'T HAVE THE COURAGE TO DO IT. |
| 00:24:38 |
|
RIGHT. |
| 00:24:39 |
|
YEP. |
| 00:24:40 |
|
I THINK -- THEY'VE ALREADY -- |
| 00:24:44 |
|
WE DON'T HAVE THE -- WE DON'T ASK THEM TO DO IT THE COURAGE TO ASK THEM TO DO IT. NONE OF THIS HAS... |
| 00:24:52 |
|
YOU REALIZE THE SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN WILL WATCH AND SEE THIS BROADCAST. YOU REALIZE THE CAMPAIGN... |
| 00:25:03 |
|
I LOOK BACK TEN YEARS AT THESE THINGS THEY SEND OUT FROM SOCIAL SECURITY, AND WHATEVER THE BUREAUCRAT... |
| 00:25:29 |
|
I SEE PART OF THE PROBLEM, I REMEMBER WHEN PRESIDENT BUSH WANTED TO ASSURE US HE WENT AND SHOWED US... |
| 00:26:07 |
|
WHAT I WOULD LUKE TO DO, BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE DIALS HERE, IS THIS IS CALLED INSTANT RESPONSE AND I'LL... |
| 00:27:31 |
|
100! |
| 00:27:33 |

| 00:29:22 |
|
I CAN'T GO TO 50. |
| 00:29:25 |
|
I THINK LOUISE IS TRYING TO MAKE ME LOOK BAD ON NATIONAL TELEVISION. |
| 00:29:30 |
|
GOES TO 49 TO 52. AS LONG AS IT IS AT 49 YOU ARE FINE. |
| 00:29:34 |

HOW MANY OF YOU STARTED TO DIAL DOWN WHEN HE SAID SOCIAL SECURITY IS STRONG, RAISE YOUR HANDS, I'M... |
| 00:30:43 |
|
NO. |
| 00:30:44 |
|
WHY NOT? |
| 00:30:46 |
|
BECAUSE IT IS -- WE'RE GOING TO RUN OUT FT. WE DON'T DO SOMETHING. |
| 00:30:49 |

| 00:30:51 |

LIKE YOU SAID, THE NUMBERS DON'T ADD UP, THE AMOUNT OF MONEY GOING IN AND PEOPLE THAT WILL RETIRE.... |
| 00:30:57 |
|
TEN YEARS, WE HAVE A CRISIS. |
| 00:30:58 |
|
DOESN'T BALANCE, WHATEVER. |
| 00:31:00 |
|
WHY , IS IT NOT STRONG? |
| 00:31:02 |
|
WE ARE PAYING OUT MORE THAN WE TAKING IN AND WE ARE LIVING LONGER. |
| 00:31:06 |
|
YOU DON'T THINK IT WILL FIX ITSELF. |
| 00:31:07 |
|
NO. |
| 00:31:09 |

HOW DO YOU FIX IT? YOU FIX IT BY REACHING ACROSS THIS AISLE AND YOU SAY TO THE DEMOCRATS, SIT DOWN... |
| 00:34:59 |
|
BACK TO 50. TWO MORE CLIPS, ONE FROM OBAMA AND ONE FROM McCAIN. |
| 00:35:03 |
|
WE ALSO KNOW THAT THE REPUBLICANS WILL BE RUNNING A DIFFERENT KIND OF MESSAGE. JOHN McCAIN ALREADY... |
| 00:35:38 |
|
YOU KNOW -- YOU DON'T LIKE PRIVATIZATION. HOW MANY OF YOU SUPPORT PRIVATIZING SOCIAL SECURITY? HOW... |
| 00:35:56 |
|
I THINK IT IS -- SOCIAL SECURITY IS MEANT AS A SAFETY NET. AND I DON'T EXPECT IT WHEN I HOPEFULLY... |
| 00:36:18 |
|
I THINK -- I AGREE COMPLETELY AND I THINK THE FACT COMING OUT OF THE ECONOMIC TURMOIL IN TERMS OF... |
| 00:36:33 |
|
NERVOUS ABOUT PRIVATIZING. |
| 00:36:34 |
|
SURE AM. BECAUSE I HAVE TO COUNT ON SOCIAL SECURITY IN ORDER TO RETIRE. I AM 67, I'M WORKING FULL-TIME.... |
| 00:36:43 |
|
WHY. |
| 00:36:44 |
|
HEALTH BENEFITS, SOCIAL SECURITY, MIGHT GO. |
| 00:36:47 |
|
HAVE YOU WORKED ALL YOUR LIFE. |
| 00:36:50 |
|
ONLY FOR 25 YEARS. |
| 00:36:52 |
|
YOU WORKED FOR 25 YEARS. AND YOU ARE ONE OF THE ES MOST -- GET A LITTLE PERSONAL IF YOU WILL ALLOW... |
| 00:37:33 |
|
THANK YOU. DO WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT PRIVATIZATION? I COULD NEVER RETIRE IF WE PRIVATIZED IT. I HAVEN'T... |
| 00:37:45 |
|
AFTER 25 YEARS? |
| 00:37:47 |
|
YEAH. I HAVE A HIGH STANDARD. |
| 00:37:52 |
|
SO YOU HAVE THE CADILLAC OF EXPECTATIONS. |
| 00:37:54 |
|
I DO. |
| 00:37:55 |
|
OKAY. |
| 00:37:57 |
|
ANYONE ELSE WORKING BEYOND 65 HERE? ANYONE ELSE HAVE A SPOUSE WHO IS WORKING BEYOND 65? DOES ANYONE... |
| 00:38:13 |
|
WELL, YES, I DO. I GOT MARRIED LATER IN LIFE, AND MY DAUGHTER IS STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL AND I HAVE COLLEGE... |
| 00:38:46 |
|
WILL YOU BE ABLE TO RETIRE WITH A DECENT STANDARD OF LIVING LIVING? |
| 00:38:53 |
|
YES. BUT ONLY BECAUSE I MADE THE DECISIONS LONG TIME AGO. WHAT HAPPENS IS WHEN YOU GET LAID OFF YOU... |
| 00:39:03 |
|
YOU WERE LAID OFF. |
| 00:39:04 |
|
I HAVE BEEN LAID OFF. |
| 00:39:05 |
|
ANYONE ELSE HERE BEEN LAID OFF? |
| 00:39:09 |
|
ALL YOUR BENEFITS, ALL YOUR VACATION, GOES BACK TO ZERO. AND THAT IS WHERE IT REALLY HURTS. MOST... |
| 00:39:46 |
|
CAN I ASK YOU THIS QUESTION: AGAIN STARTING TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER AND I'LL A LITTLE BIT MORE PROBING.... |
| 00:40:01 |
|
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. BUT, LIKE SOCIAL SECURITY, IT SHOULD BE THERE AS A SAFETY NET. BUT IF YOU... |
| 00:40:16 |
|
JIM? |
| 00:40:18 |
|
IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOCIAL SECURITY TO FEND ON BUT I FEEL A LOT OF IT IS OUR... |
| 00:40:46 |
|
HOW MUCH OF IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY VERSUS THE GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY? |
| 00:40:52 |
|
I THINK MOST OF IT IS PEOPLE'S RESPONSIBILITY BUT I -- IT IS NICE HAVE THE GOVERNMENT TO HELP. THERE... |
| 00:41:04 |
|
SO, WHAT DO YOU WANT -- SEE THIS -- SO WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM THESE CANDIDATES? IF JOHN McCAIN AND... |
| 00:41:19 |
|
THEY CAN FIX IT. |
| 00:41:21 |
|
THAT IS WHAT JOHN McCAIN SAID BUT YOU DIDN'T DIAL HIM THAT WAY -- DIAL HIM THAT HIGH. |
| 00:41:26 |
|
WILL THEY FIX IT SO THAT THERE IS REALLY MONEY AVAILABLE OR ARE THEY GOING TO MAKE A LITTLE BANDAGE.... |
| 00:41:33 |
|
HOW WILL MONEY BE AVAILABLE? BETTER MANAGEMENT. |
| 00:41:35 |
|
LET ME ASK YOU THIS QUESTION, HOW MANY OF YOU ARE PREPARED TO PAY HIGHER TAXES TO FIX SOCIAL SECURITY,... |
| 00:42:15 |
|
SOMETHING ELSE. YOU KNOW, IT IS ALWAYS, ALWAYS WE HAVE TO RAISE YOUR TAXES OR CUT YOUR BENEFITS, AND... |
| 00:42:30 |
|
WHY IS THERE ALL THE TALK ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY BEING INSOLVENT? ON AN ACCOUNTING LEVEL, IT IS --... |
| 00:42:39 |
|
IS HE RIGHT. |
| 00:42:41 |
|
SOLVENT UNTIL 2017. |
| 00:42:42 |
|
ROBERT, 20 1. ONLY NINE YEARS FROM NOW,. |
| 00:42:46 |
|
IS HE RIGHT, IS SOCIAL SECURITY COMPLETELY SO VENT. |
| 00:42:49 |
|
THAT IS WHAT THEY SAY. |
| 00:42:50 |
|
WHAT DO YOU THINK? |
| 00:42:52 |
|
I THINK UNTIL THEN, PROBABLY. BUT, I'M NOT RETIRING AT 2017. |
| 00:42:58 |
|
FRANCIS. |
| 00:43:00 |
|
IF PRIVATIZATION WERE THE ANSWER TO SOCIAL SECURITY, WHY ARE ALL THE MAJOR CORPORATIONS, FORTUNE 500,... |
| 00:43:16 |
|
LAST COMMENT ON SOCIAL SECURITY. CHARLES. |
| 00:43:19 |
|
I THINK THERE IS GOING TO BE A COMPONENT THAT WE PRIVATIZE AND A PART OF IT AS IT IS TODAY. BECAUSE,... |
| 00:43:39 |
|
YOU GUYS... YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DO THE THINGS THAT NEED TO GET DONE SO I'D ARGUE YOU HAVE NO ONE... |
| 00:43:48 |
|
I AGREE. |
| 00:43:50 |
|
I AGREE. HIGHER TAXES, NO ONE WANTS THAT. SO THE CANDIDATE DON'T SAY THAT BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY WON'T... |
| 00:44:06 |
|
AND I HAVE SEEN SOCIAL SECURITY GO UP, WITHHOLDINGS GO UP AND UP AND UP AND THE BENEFITS HAVEN'T AND... |
| 00:44:27 |
|
MY MOTHER AND FATHER, HAD ADJUSTMENT EVERY YEAR. |
| 00:44:29 |
|
I WANTED TO MAKE THE POINT BOUP THE DIVORCED PARENTS WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY HIGHER AMOUNTS, INTO... |
| 00:44:55 |
|
THEY CAN RAISE THE LEVEL WHERE YOU STOP PAYING INTO SOCIAL SECURIT, WE WOULDN'T NECESSARILY PAY ANY... |
| 00:45:06 |
|
DID I MISS SOMETHING HERE OR DID ONE OF THESE GUYS JUST SAY THAT THESE FUNDS HAVE NOT BEEN USED PROPERLY?... |
| 00:45:16 |
|
THAT IS WHAT YOU THINK THE ANSWER IS. |
| 00:45:18 |
|
NO, I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T THINK THE ANSWER IS REAL EASY BUS I'VE HEARD ABOUT IT FOR 20 YEARS AND WE... |
| 00:45:36 |
|
IT IS A MIXED THING IN THAT SOCIAL SECURITY GOES UP, COLA BUT THE HEALTH CARE COMPONENTS, MEDICAID... |
| 00:45:54 |
|
DUDE, NICE TRANSITION HERE. HAVE I EVER MET YOU BEFORE? BECAUSE THE NEXT ISSUE IS HEALTH CARE. OUT... |
| 00:46:41 |
|
IT IS A FOR-PROFIT BUSINESS NOW, YOU KNOW, SO PEOPLE ARE MAKING MONEY. AND THEREFORE THE INVESTOR... |
| 00:46:51 |
|
GREATEST PROBLEM WITH HEALTH CARE. |
| 00:46:54 |
|
TOO MANY ANYONE INSURED AND MORE AND MORE ALL THE TIME. |
| 00:46:57 |
|
GREATEST PROBLEM. |
| 00:46:58 |
|
I AGREE WITH HER, TOO, BUT ALSO THE NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT IS IN HEALTH CARE NOW, IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE... |
| 00:47:10 |
|
GREATEST PROBLEM WITH HEALTH CARE. |
| 00:47:12 |
|
I -- GREED I THINK. |
| 00:47:14 |
|
GREED ON BEHALF OF WHOM. |
| 00:47:15 |
|
ON EVERYBODY'S PART. I MEAN, WE'RE ALL INDIVIDUALS AND WE ALL WANT WHAT IS BEST FOR US. YOU HAVE... |
| 00:47:42 |
|
I AGREE. I THINK IT IS GREED. |
| 00:47:46 |
|
I DO. |
| 00:47:47 |
|
BY WHO. |
| 00:47:49 |
|
THE HEALTH CARE PLANS. THE ADMINISTRATOR. I THINK DOCTORS THINK THAT THEY ARE ELITE AND SHOULD BE... |
| 00:47:59 |
|
YOU DON'T AGREE. |
| 00:48:01 |
|
I THINK THEY SHOULD BE PAID FAIRLY BUT I THINK THAT WE AS AMERICANS ARE ENTITLED TO GOOD -- A GOOD... |
| 00:48:13 |
|
BOB. |
| 00:48:15 |
|
I THINK IT IS INSURANCE PREMIUMS. I HAVE ISSUES WHEN HEALTH CARE INSURANCE PREMIUMS ARE EXPANDING... |
| 00:48:42 |
|
I THINK THAT HIGH HEALTH CARE COSTS ARE A FUNCTION OF INCREASED TECHNOLOGY. LIFE IS PROLONGED ON THE... |
| 00:48:58 |
|
I THINK THE HEALTH CARE, MEDICAL, DRUG INDUSTRIES ARE SO POWERFUL IN THEIR LOBBYING THEY HAVE CAUSED... |
| 00:49:12 |
|
COST. |
| 00:49:13 |
|
HOW MANY OF YOU THINK COST IS THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE IN HEALTH CARE TODAY, RAISE YOUR HANDS. ALMOST... |
| 00:49:31 |
|
WHO DO YOU BLAME? WHO DO YOU BLAME? |
| 00:49:34 |
|
WHO? |
| 00:49:35 |
|
HMOS. |
| 00:49:36 |
|
PAULA, WHO DO YOU BLAME. |
| 00:49:38 |
|
I THINK THE HMOs. |
| 00:49:39 |
|
ROBERT, WHO DO YOU BLAME. |
| 00:49:40 |
|
ATTORNEYS. I LOVE YOU, ROBERT! |
| 00:49:43 |
|
RICH ATTORNEYS. |
| 00:49:45 |
|
IN THE NEUTRAL SENSE. |
| 00:49:46 |
|
MORE RICH ATTORNEYS THAN THERE IS DOCTORS. |
| 00:49:49 |
|
YOU THINK THE ATTORNEYS AND LAWSUITS -- |
| 00:49:50 |
|
A MAJOR PART OF IT. |
| 00:49:52 |
|
YOU DO? |
| 00:49:53 |
|
YOU AGREE WITH THIS. |
| 00:49:54 |
|
ABSOLUTELY. |
| 00:49:55 |
|
WHY? |
| 00:49:57 |
|
EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT ATTORNEYS GO TO SCHOOL FOR THREE YEARS AND MAKE BUNDLES OF MONEY AND DOCTORS... |
| 00:50:12 |
|
WHO IS A LAWYER IN THE ROOM. |
| 00:50:14 |
|
GOING TO SCHOOL ALL THOSE -- |
| 00:50:16 |
|
WHO IS A LAWYER IN THIS ROOM, NO ONE WENT TO LAW SCHOOL? I LOVE MINNESOTA! WHAT I WANT TO YOU DO NOW... |
| 00:50:37 |
|
100. |
| 00:50:38 |
|
COMPLETELY DISAGREE. |
| 00:50:39 |
|
ZERO. |
| 00:50:40 |
|
50. |
| 00:50:51 |
|
LET'S DO IT. |
| 00:50:53 |
|
MY PLAN BEGINS BY COVERING EVERY AMERICAN, IF YOU ALREADY HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE, THE ONLY THING THAT... |
| 00:51:53 |
|
THANK, I THINK THAT IF YOU WANT TO GIVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE STRAIGHT TALK, MEDICARE IS GOING BROKE... |
| 00:53:08 |
|
BACK TO 50, PLEASE. |
| 00:53:10 |
|
TWO MORE SEGMENT FROM EACH. |
| 00:53:12 |
|
THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR IT IS ESTIMATED WE WASTE ABOUT $600 BILLION A YEAR. I... |
| 00:54:37 |
|
BACK TO 50. ONE MORE CLIP. |
| 00:54:40 |
|
CAN I ASK YOU A HYPOTHETICAL AND THAT IS, IF YOU ARE ELECTED, AND IF THE MAIN POINTS OF THIS PLAM... |
| 00:54:54 |
|
WELL, I WOULD HOPE THAT IT WOULD BE VERY LOW. IF WE CAN KEEP COSTS DOWN. YOU ARE GOING TO BE FIGHTING... |
| 00:56:08 |
|
JOHN McCAIN AND LET ME EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE AT HOME WHO ARE WATCHING THIS. THE HIGHER THE LINES CLIMB... |
| 00:56:56 |
|
THIS IS A MULTI-FACETED -- FROM MY PERSPECTIVE ONLY BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN MANY, MANY OLD PEOPLE GETTING... |
| 00:57:34 |
|
I NEVER TALKED ABOUT LAWYERS. OR LAWSUITS. AND YOU GUYS HAVE BROUGHT IT UP REPEATEDLY, HOW MANY OF... |
| 00:57:50 |
|
I THINK PHYSICIANS WILL PRESCRIBE ANY NUMBER OF TESTS WHEN WALK INTO THE OFFICE, JUST TO MAKE SURE... |
| 00:58:01 |
|
CONNIE? |
| 00:58:04 |
|
I THINK THAT THERE'S PROBABLY A -- KINDS OF A SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT PEOPLE WANT MORE MONEY TO IMPROVE... |
| 00:58:20 |
|
SO, ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH THOSE SPECIFICS OR IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE THAT YOU WANT? |
| 00:58:26 |
|
HOW MANY OF YOU -- A SHOW OF HANDS. HOW MANY OF YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH WHAT YOU HEARD AND FEEL THEY... |
| 00:58:34 |
|
IDEAS? |
| 00:58:35 |
|
IDEAS? |
| 00:58:38 |
|
WHAT DO YOU WANT. |
| 00:58:40 |
|
PUTTING IN THE TO EFFECT. |
| 00:58:45 |
|
WHAT -- I CANNOT -- CAN'T SAY ONE PENNY -- SAVE ONE PENNY FOR RETIREMENT BECAUSE ALL OF MY INCOME... |
| 00:59:07 |
|
I DON'T GET THAT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. |
| 00:59:10 |
|
IT'S THE IRS DEFINITION OF WHERE YOU MAKER INCOME, WHETHER FROM INVESTING, FROM BONDS, STOCKS OR WHETHER... |
| 00:59:20 |
|
YOU THINK JOHN McCAIN IS MORE LIKELY TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST NONEARNED INCOME THAN BARACK OBAMA. |
| 00:59:25 |
|
I'M AFRAID TO SAY THAT OVER THE YEARS I HAVE LEARNED TO NOT TRUST THE REPUBLICAN PARTIAL. |
| 00:59:35 |
|
I LIKE HOW BARACK OBAMA IS CONFIDENT ON WHAT HE WANTS TO DO AND SEEMS TO BE TALKING ABOUT HOW IT WILL... |
| 01:00:03 |
|
I AGREE. BUT I THINK BOTH OF THEM HAVE GOOD POINTS WHEN THEY TALK AND BOTH OF THEM HAVE GOOD PIECES... |
| 01:00:39 |
|
LET ME SHOW YOU TWO MORE CLIPS, TO GET A GOOD FEEL OF IT AND WE'LL GO BACK TO 50, TWO MORE CLIPS,... |
| 01:00:54 |
|
WE HAVE A MANAGED -- TO MANAGE THE TREATMENT OF THE CHRONICALLY ILL MORE INTELLIGENTLY AND HAVE TO... |
| 01:02:13 |
|
BACK TO 50. ONE LAST CLIP FROM JOHN McCAIN. |
| 01:02:20 |
|
AND SO DO YOU COUNT ON THE INVOLVEMENT CONCERN OF THE PUBLIC TO HELP YOU BREAK THESE TRADITIONAL POLITICAL... |
| 01:02:27 |
|
IT HAS TO BE. IT HAS TO BE. THE MEDICARE PART D BILL WAS AN $800 BILLION TO $1 TRILLION UNFUNDED... |
| 01:03:30 |
|
WHAT DO YOU THINK? WHO HAD A MORE FAVORABLE REACTION TO BARACK OBAMA'S PRESENTATION OF HEALTH CARE,... |
| 01:04:07 |
|
I THINK I'D LIKE IT TO BE MORE SPECIFIC. FOR -- |
| 01:04:11 |
|
BUT WOULD LIKE -- IDEAS LIKE IT TO PERTAIN TO INDIVIDUALS, MORE, AS FAR AS YOUR -- WHAT YOU HAVE EARNED... |
| 01:04:21 |
|
YOU YOU HAVE TO LIKE IT UP YOURSELF, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? |
| 01:04:25 |
|
WELL, I FEEL THAT IT IS NOT FAIR ANYWAY THAT THOSE THAT PAY TAXES, YOU KNOW, AND CONTRIBUTE ARE ALSO... |
| 01:04:45 |
|
PATRICK. |
| 01:04:47 |
|
HOW THEY'LL KEEP MY RATES FROM GOING UP, TEN, 15% EVERY YEAR. I HAVEN'T SPECIFICALLY HEARD THAT. ... |
| 01:04:54 |
|
HOW IT WILL AFFECT -- |
| 01:04:57 |
|
I'VE BEEN RETIRED SEVEN YEARS AND MY MEDICAL HAS TRIPLED. AND I HAVE HAD ZERO CLAIMS. |
| 01:05:02 |
|
PAULA. |
| 01:05:04 |
|
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS, THEY WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THAT, HOW AS WE AGE, HOW WILL WE BE ABLE TO GET THOSE... |
| 01:05:20 |
|
I'D LIKE TO SEE THE LIABILITY DOCTORS ARE UNDER, DOING UNNECESSARY TESTS. TO SAVE THEIR HIDES IN CASE... |
| 01:05:28 |
|
MARCIA. |
| 01:05:30 |
|
I AGREE THAT THEY REALLY NEED TO TALK ABOUT SPECIFICS IN DETAIL. WHAT ARE THEIR HEALTH -- |
| 01:05:36 |
|
HOW MUCH MORE. |
| 01:05:38 |
|
HOW WILL THEY -- NUMBER ONE, HOW WILL THEY COVER THE UNINSURED, NUMBER ONE. AND, WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE... |
| 01:05:52 |
|
FRANCIS. |
| 01:05:53 |
|
I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO ME IS HOW WILL KEEP MY PREMIUMS DOWN EACH YEAR. AND STILL MAINTAIN... |
| 01:06:02 |
|
ROBERT? |
| 01:06:03 |
|
McCAIN TOUCHED ON IT BRIEFLY. IT IS FIGURING OUT WHAT THE PROGRAM WAS ORIGINALLY SUPPOSED TO COVER.... |
| 01:06:14 |
|
JIM. |
| 01:06:15 |
|
PUT NUMBERS TO IT. WHAT WILL IT COST AND WHAT DO THE BENEFITS MEAN AND WHAT WILL IT COST ME? SOMEBODY... |
| 01:06:45 |
|
I HAVE A -- I HAVE ONE LAST QUESTION FOR YOU. YOU'LL HAVE TO BE HONEST WITH ME. DON'T TELL ME WHAT... |
| 01:07:42 |
|
WHAT IS THIS IFERNS BETWEEN A GOVERNMENT -- THE GOVERNMENT AND OURSELVES, WE FINANCE THE GOVERNMENT.... |
| 01:07:48 |
|
GARY. |
| 01:07:49 |
|
JUST GOING TO BRING UP THIS COMMENT ABOUT INTERNET. I HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION, I CAN BUY IT ON THE... |
| 01:08:09 |
|
LAST COMMENT. |
| 01:08:10 |
|
THE INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET, IF IT IS ACCURATE. NUMBER ONE I THINK THE HEALTH CARE DOLLARS COULD... |
| 01:08:44 |
|
AND WHICH -- I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE REPETITIVE BUT I HAVE TO ASK YOU THE QUESTION. WHY IS THERE... |
| 01:10:21 |
|
|
| 01:10:23 |
|
WE WANT A SYSTEM OF HEALTH CARE IN WHICH EVERYONE CAN AFFORD AND ACQUIRE IT. |
| 01:10:27 |
|
I PUT FORWARD A SERIES OF PROPOSALS, THAT WILL FOSTER ECONOMIC GROWTH. |
| 01:10:32 |
|
KEEP FAMILIES IN THEIR HOMES AND BUSINESSES, GROWING. |
| 01:10:34 |
|
WE CAN'T WAIT TO FIX OR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. |
| 01:10:36 |
|
WE ARE IN A -- |
| 01:10:38 |
|
WE ARE APPROACHING. |
| 01:10:40 |
|
WE HAVE THE CHANCE TO SOLVE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE BEEN TALK ABOUT YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER... |
| 01:10:46 |
|
CALL AND MAKE SURE THEIR TALK |
| 01:10:48 |
|
REACT -- |
| 01:10:51 |
|
AND THE AARP IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENT OF THE ADVERTISING. |
| 01:10:57 |
|
BACK TO ZERO. |
| 01:10:58 |
|
MY MOTHER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BRAIN CANCER. |
| 01:11:01 |
|
I FELL 14, 16 FEET. |
| 01:11:02 |
|
OKAY. GOT INSURANCE, SO WHY DON'T THEY PAY SNIRT THE BILLS CAME IN ASTOUNDING. |
| 01:11:08 |
|
KEPT COMING AND COMING. |
| 01:11:09 |
|
THOSE BILLS GOT PILED UP IN EXCESS OF $50,000. |
| 01:11:13 |
|
I JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY. |
| 01:11:15 |
|
BANKRUPT WAS MY LAST RESORT. |
| 01:11:17 |
|
WORST WORST FEELING I SAY EVER HAD. |
| 01:11:19 |
|
WE LOST OUR HOUSE, AND LOST EVERYTHING. |
| 01:11:22 |
|
CAN HAPPEN TO ANYBODY, THAT THIS IS E STORY, AND I THINK SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. |
| 01:11:28 |
|
BACK TO ZERO. |
| 01:11:30 |
|
REACTING TO THE ADS, AND REALIZE YOU ARE REACTING AT THEN ALL THE WAY THROUGH THEM. BACK TO ZERO,... |
| 01:11:40 |
|
WE NEED TAX POLICIES THAT RESPECT THE WAGE EARNERS AND JOB CREATORS. |
| 01:11:45 |
|
IT IS HARD TO SAVE, HARDERS TO RETIRE. |
| 01:11:48 |
|
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH AMERICAN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS THAT IT COSTS TOO MUCH. |
| 01:11:53 |
|
WE WILL HAVE A HEALTH CARE SYSTEM NOT A DISEASE CARE SYSTEM. |
| 01:11:57 |
|
WE HAVE TO -- THE CHANCE TO SOLVE PROBLEMS WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT YOU YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR... |
| 01:12:03 |
|
CALL AND MAKE SURE THAT YOUR TALK TURNS INTO REAL SOLUTIONS. AAR PERFORM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENT... |
| 01:12:09 |
|
PAUSE FOR ONE SECOND. ADS NEVER GO ABOVE A 70. A GOOD AD IS SOMETHING THAT GOES ABOVE A 50. WHAT... |
| 01:12:25 |
|
YES? |
| 01:12:26 |
|
I THINK THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE THEM LIVE BY THEIR WORDS. |
| 01:12:31 |
|
IS THAT IMPORTANT. |
| 01:12:32 |
|
DEFINITELY. |
| 01:12:36 |
|
IS ANYONE ELSE TRYING DO THAT THAT? |
| 01:12:38 |
|
NOT. |
| 01:12:39 |
|
WHAT CAUSED TO YOU REACT FAVORABLY TO THAT? |
| 01:12:43 |
|
SOME OF HAD THE AD OVER 70. YES. |
| 01:12:47 |
|
THEY WERE GIVING ME SENTENCES OF EACH AND TELLING ME TO BASICALLY MAKE THE POLITICIAN ACCOUNTABLE... |
| 01:12:56 |
|
IS THAT AN IMPORTANT ROLE, KIND OF INFORMATION IMPORTANT TO YOU? |
| 01:13:02 |
|
I LIKE IT. IT MADE ME FEEL NOT NEGATIVE TOWARDS AARP AND THE AD IN GENERAL. |
| 01:13:08 |
|
WHAT ELSE? THE KIND OF COMMENTS I WANTED TO HEAR AND I WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT THEY WILL BE TRUE.... |
| 01:13:14 |
|
ARE YOU HEARING THOSE COMMENTS NOW? |
| 01:13:17 |
|
I GUESS I AM -- I AM HEARING THEM. BUT, YOU KNOW, I TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE... |
| 01:13:33 |
|
WHAT ELSE? |
| 01:13:35 |
|
ALL WOO WE'RE HEARING ABOUT IS DRILLING ON THE ANWR AREA AND IT -- THERE ARE OTHER PROBLEMS |
| 01:13:42 |
|
ROBERT. |
| 01:13:45 |
|
I LIKED BECAUSE THEY USED THE WORD WE A LOT AND NOT JUST THEIR PROBLEM TO SOLVE IT IS EVERYBODY'S... |
| 01:13:51 |
|
ARE THERE ANY OTHER ORGANIZATIONS OTHER THAN AARP THAT IS PUSHING THIS KIND OF STUFF, PUSHING FOR... |
| 01:14:06 |
|
OBAMA CAMPAIGN IS GOING -- |
| 01:14:08 |
|
WHAT ARE THEY DOING. |
| 01:14:11 |
|
GOSH, I AM TERRIBLE WITH THIS BUT TRYING UNITE PEOPLE AND GET RIGHTS FOR PEOPLE. AND I KNOW A LOT... |
| 01:14:22 |
|
LET ME SHOW YOU ONE MORE AD, |
| 01:14:37 |
|
|
| 01:14:41 |
|
IT'S TIME TO END PARTISAN BICKERING AND FIND SOLUTIONS, FOR HEALTH CARE AND LIFETIME FINANCIAL SECURITY.... |
| 01:14:54 |
|
NO, NO, YES, YES. |
| 01:14:55 |
|
NO, NO, YES, YES... |
| 01:14:57 |
|
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! TELL WASHINGTON TO FIX HEALTH CARE AND INSURE FINANCIAL SECURITY FOR ALL. VISIT... |
| 01:15:07 |
|
THAT WAS A HOME RUN. BOTH REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS DIALED IT, WHY WAS IT SO POSITIVE TO YOU? |
| 01:15:17 |
|
IT IS GIVING -- TELLING ME THAT WE SHOULD GET OFF THE -- A POLITE WAY OF SAYING THAT, GET NIGHT AND... |
| 01:15:29 |
|
AND CHILDREN ARE WATCHING! |
| 01:15:30 |
|
AND BASICALLY, THERE IS SO MUCH BICKERING BACK AND FORTH, AND BETWEEN THE AISLES AND RED AND BLUE... |
| 01:15:39 |
|
EVEN IF WE DON'T DO SOCK THAT IS PERFECT, AND ONLY GOD CAN DO STUFF THAT IS PERFECT, IF WE DO SOMETHING,... |
| 01:15:51 |
|
WHY DID THAT DIAL SO WELL, WHY DID YOU REACT FAVORABLY TO IT? |
| 01:15:55 |
|
TIRED OF IT. |
| 01:15:57 |
|
TIRED OF WHAT? |
| 01:15:58 |
|
THE BICKERING. AND THE GRIDLOCKS. WE WANT SOMETHING DONE. YOU KNOW? |
| 01:16:06 |
|
WHY DOES IT MATTER. |
| 01:16:07 |
|
MAKE EVERYBODY GO TOGETHER AND WORK ON IT INSTEAD OF MAKING IT A PARTY DEAL. |
| 01:16:17 |
|
COMBINING EFERTSD, AND -- BIG RING AGAINST EACH OTHER AND GETTING SOMETHING DONE. |
| 01:16:22 |
|
I THINK THE NONPARTISAN IS WHAT I WOULD BE TALKING ABOUT, TOO. WITH -- WORKING TOGETHER. |
| 01:16:28 |
|
HOW DOES IT MACK YOU FEEL TOWARDS AARP? |
| 01:16:33 |
|
GOOD THING, FAVORABLE. |
| 01:16:35 |
|
WHY IS THE A GOOD THING. |
| 01:16:36 |
|
THEY ALSO -- THESE ADS WERE POSITIVE. LET'S GET PEOPLE OFF THERE WORK -- OUT THERE WORKING TO MAKE... |
| 01:16:44 |
|
YOU SAY IT'S GOOD THING, WHY. |
| 01:16:45 |
|
I THINK THEY ARE PROMOTING, LET'S GET SOMETHING DONE AND WORK TOO, AND FACE THE ISSUE AND DIDN'T SAY,... |
| 01:16:59 |
|
WENDY? |
| 01:17:05 |
|
POLITICIANS SHOULD WATCH THOSE COMMERCIALS. |
| 01:17:08 |
|
35.W BRIDGE FELL DOWN RIGHT HERE IN THIS CITY, WE TOOK CARE OF IT. SOMETHING HAD TO BE DONE ABOUT... |
| 01:17:19 |
|
AND YOU WANT THEM TO WATCH THOSE ADS. |
| 01:17:22 |
|
THEY BETTER WAKE UP SOONER OR LATER AND MAYBE WE'LL VOTE RALPH NADER IN. |
| 01:17:26 |
|
LOUISE. |
| 01:17:27 |
|
GOING TO ASK ME -- |
| 01:17:29 |
|
SAME THING YOUR REACTION TO TO... |
| 01:17:31 |
|
WORKING TOGETHER. IS THE WAY TO GO. |
| 01:17:33 |
|
WHY? |
| 01:17:35 |
|
BECAUSE IT IS ONLY WAY THEY'LL GET ANYTHING DONE. |
| 01:17:38 |
|
MY MOM USED TO TELL ME, YOU KNOW, QUIT FUSSING. JUST DO IT. AND THAT'S WHAT THEY NEED TO DO. THEY... |
| 01:17:49 |
|
POLITICS IS THIS ART OF COMPROMISE. |
| 01:17:51 |
|
SHOULD THEY CONTINUE THE AD CAMPAIGN, YES OR NO. |
| 01:17:53 |
|
YES. |
| 01:17:57 |
|
HOW MANY SAY YES. EVERYBODY. LET'S GO ON AND NOW WE'LL GET TO THE CANDIDATES THEMSELVES. ARE YOU ALREADY?... |

MORE OF THE SAME. |
| 01:19:31 |
|
UNPREDICTABLE. |
| 01:19:33 |
|
GEORGE BUSH'S PUPPET. |
| 01:19:34 |
|
UNPREDICTABLE. |
| 01:19:37 |
|
NOT EVERYBODY'S UNDECIDED. |
| 01:19:39 |
|
HOW CAN YOU TRUST THE REPUBLICAN AFTER RONALD REAGAN? |
| 01:19:41 |
|
YOU SAID TO ME WHEN YOU WALKED IN HERE, BEFORE I PUT YOU IN HERE, 60% CHANCE OF VOTING FOR BARACK... |
| 01:19:57 |

|
TOO EXPERIENCED. INTERESTING, LIKE HAVING TOO MUCH SPA GATE. JOE BIDEN, IS HE A PLOWERS MINUS TO... |
| 01:20:17 |
|
WHO SAYS SHOF HANDS, HE'S A PLUS? A MINUS? ONE MORE TIME, A PLUS? ALMOST ALL, HOW MANY SAY HE'S A... |
| 01:20:32 |
|
HE IS A REGULAR PERSON. AND HE'S NOT A RICH SENATOR. HE'S AN EVERY DAY PERSON WHO HAS TONS OF EXPERIENCE.... |
| 01:20:43 |
|
WHY IS HE A PLUS. |
| 01:20:45 |
|
EXPERIENCE. |
| 01:20:46 |
|
EXPERIENCE. AND WILL SPEAK HIS MIND. |
| 01:20:50 |
|
EXPERIENCE. |
| 01:20:52 |
|
CAN YOU COME UP -- YOU USE THE SAME WORD? HOW MANY OF YOU USED THE WORD EXPERIENCE AT LEAST ONCE IN... |
| 01:21:05 |
|
HE'S YOU A TAINTED POLITICAL INSIDER AND I DIDN'T LIKE BARACK'S CHOICE. |
| 01:21:09 |
|
HE TALKS TOO MUCH AND IS ALWAYS, I THINK HAS A STUDIO FOR ABC, NBC AND CBS, IN HIS HOME. |
| 01:21:16 |
|
CAMERA PEOPLE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO LAUGH THAT THE COMMENTS! GO AHEAD. |
| 01:21:22 |
|
I DON'T THINK HE THINKS THINGS THROUGH VERY THOROUGHLY. I THINK HE MAY MAKE SOME STATEMENTS THAT ARE... |
| 01:21:29 |
|
OKAY. SARAH PALIN. |
| 01:21:34 |
|
SHE'S ONLY WENT EN FOR TWO DAYS, HOW MANY OF YOU ARE AWARE OF HER CHOICE? |
| 01:21:39 |
|
HOW MANY OF YOU SAW ANYTHING OF WHAT SHE SAID? LET'S DO IT WITH HER. EVERYBODY WANTS TO KNOW A WORD... |
| 01:21:52 |

EXTREMELY WEAK, INEXPERIENCED INEXPERIENCED. |

|
GUTS. |

|
[INAUDIBLE]. |
| 01:22:02 |
|
APPEARS TRIBE BRITED OF FRESH AIR. |
| 01:22:04 |
|
PERFECT PICK FOR McCAIN. |
| 01:22:05 |
|
DEFINITELY TO THE A PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITY. |
| 01:22:10 |
|
OUR STAND BY PRESIDENT? |
| 01:22:13 |
|
REFRESHING. |
| 01:22:15 |
|
LET ME GET ALL THESE DOWN. |
| 01:22:16 |
|
HARD WORKER. |
| 01:22:18 |
|
LIMITED BACKGROUND. |
| 01:22:19 |
|
FIGHTER. |
| 01:22:21 |
|
BACKBONE. |
| 01:22:22 |
|
BACKBONE. |
| 01:22:26 |
|
TOO MUCH BIG OIL. |
| 01:22:29 |
|
VERY SURPRISE CHOICE. |
| 01:22:32 |
|
I HAVE -- AT A LOSS FOR WORDS. I WAS... POLAR BEARS, ALL I'LL SAY. |
| 01:22:38 |
|
TOTALLY UNKNOWN. |
| 01:22:39 |
|
WHAT WAS THAT. |
| 01:22:41 |
|
TOTALLY UNKNOWN. |
| 01:22:42 |
|
SHE'S A REAL PERSON. |
| 01:22:44 |
|
HUGE MISTAKE. |
| 01:22:46 |
|
DANGER. |
| 01:22:49 |
|
GOOD LOOKING. |
| 01:22:51 |
|
SOMEONE I WOULD NEED TO LOOK UP AND LEARN ABOUT. |
| 01:22:55 |
|
UNKNOWN. |
| 01:22:56 |
|
-- DOWN TO EARTH AND HARD WORKER, IT APPEARS. |
| 01:22:59 |
|
WHO HAS A POSITIVE REACTION TO SARAH PALIN, RAISE YOUR HANDS. UP HIGH, IF YOU HAVE A POSITIVE REACTION... |
| 01:23:54 |
|
NO. |
| 01:23:55 |
|
LOOKING AT McCAIN THIS TIME. |
| 01:23:56 |
|
YES. |
| 01:23:58 |
|
BUT YOU -- WHY IS THIS CHOICE SO BAD FOR YOU IN. |
| 01:24:02 |
|
JOHN McCAIN IS 72 YEARS OLD AND 76 AT THIS END OF THE FIRST TERM, AND IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HIM,... |
| 01:24:17 |
|
SHE'S NOT READY FOR THE CALL AT 3:00 A.M.. |
| 01:24:19 |
|
YOU WERE NOT -- YOU WERE LEANING TOWARDS McCAIN BEFORE. |
| 01:24:23 |
|
YEAH, I -- RIGHT THERE. |
| 01:24:24 |
|
TELL ME WHY. |
| 01:24:25 |
|
HEARTBEAT AWAY FROM THE PRESIDENCY, AND SHE -- SHE PROBABLY HAS GREAT APPEARANCE IN ALASKA. BUT,... |
| 01:24:44 |
|
MIGHT IT COST YOU YOUR SUPPORT FOR McCAIN? |
| 01:24:47 |
|
SURE HAS MADE ME -- YEAH. YOU KNOW, IT MOVED THE SCALE THE OTHER WAY AROUND. |
| 01:24:53 |
|
WHO ELSE AGREES THAT YOU ARE HEADING TOWARDS McCAIN AND NOW REALLY ARE UNCERTAIN? WHAT ABOUT THE PICK.... |
| 01:25:01 |
|
SHE SEEMS WAY TOO FAR RIGHT. FOR ME. I THINK OF McCAIN AS MORE MODERATE. AND SHE SEEMS -- AT LEAST... |
| 01:25:16 |
|
BACKBONE IS NOT NECESSARILY A POSITIVE. |
| 01:25:17 |
|
NOT A GOOD THING, NO. |
| 01:25:18 |
|
INTERESTING. |
| 01:25:19 |
|
MAYBE WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER -- TELL ME, LEANING TOWARDS McCAIN AND NOW THE PICK IS REALLY BOTHERING... |
| 01:25:25 |
|
RAISING FIVE CHILDREN IN THE WHITE HOUSE, IF NEED BE? |
| 01:25:31 |
|
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT. |
| 01:25:32 |
|
SHE'S A MOTHER THEN NOT A PRESIDENT. |
| 01:25:36 |
|
WOW. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO REACT. I NEED TO. I NEED TO. FOR THE WOMEN IN HERE. SHE'S A MOM WITH FIVE... |
| 01:25:52 |
|
IF ANYTHING, HER BACKGROUND, IT IS POSITIVE TO ME, IS THAT SHE IS A MOM AND GETS IT AND GETS WHAT... |
| 01:26:04 |
|
COIN? |
| 01:26:06 |
|
I AGREE WITH HER. |
| 01:26:07 |
|
I AGREE WITH HER. |
| 01:26:08 |
|
WHY. |
| 01:26:10 |
|
BECAUSE THEY HAD TO ACHIEVE A BALANCE WITH ALL OF HER INVOLVEMENTS AND ACTIVITIES, UP UNTIL NOW. ... |
| 01:26:17 |
|
PAULINE. |
| 01:26:20 |
|
SHE'S PROVED HERSELF TO THIS POINTS SHE CAN JUKAL SCHEDULES IN ALL SHE HAS DONE AND WILL CONTINUE... |
| 01:26:27 |
|
A MOM WITH FIVE KIDS POSITIVE |
| 01:26:29 |
|
[INAUDIBLE]. |
| 01:26:32 |
|
I'LL SHUT HER DIAL. POSITIVE, BE ABLE TO JUGGLE, |
| 01:26:36 |
|
NEGATIVE. |
| 01:26:38 |
|
WHY? |
| 01:26:39 |
|
SPEAKING. |
| 01:26:41 |
|
HARD -- HEART IS WITH YOUR CHILDREN, NOT YOUR COUNTRY, MANY TIMES. YOU WILL DO EVERYTHING TO PROTECTED... |
| 01:26:52 |
|
[INAUDIBLE]. |
| 01:26:53 |
|
MAYBE -- |
| 01:26:57 |
|
THAT WAS MY OPINION. |
| 01:26:59 |
|
THEY HAVE DECIDED TO -- THIS IS WHAT WORKS. |
| 01:27:03 |
|
SO, JOHN McCAIN MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE OR THE WRONG CHOICE? |
| 01:27:08 |
|
ALL I CAN SAY IS I LIKE HER. |
| 01:27:09 |
|
YOU DO. |
| 01:27:10 |
|
YEAH, I DO. I DO LIKE HER. |
| 01:27:13 |
|
WHAT IS IT ABOUT HER THAT YOU LIKE. |
| 01:27:15 |
|
SHE'S JUST GOT A LOT OF ENERGY AND I'M JUST VERY |
| 01:27:18 |
|
ONE MORE. |
| 01:27:19 |
|
OKAY. I LIKE HER, WHAT I HAVE SEEN LIKE HER AS A PERSON, BUT HER LACK OF EXPERIENCE YOU CAN'T VOTE... |
| 01:28:00 |
|
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE SAW HER STATEMENT WHEN SHE WAS CHOSEN AS VP, WATCHED THAT VIDEO? OF HER MAKING... |
| 01:28:23 |
|
SEE HOW YOU REACT AND SHE'LL MAKE HER CASE HERE. EVERYONE AT 50. |
| 01:28:33 |
|
THANK YOU. |
| 01:28:42 |
|
|
| 01:28:45 |
|
AND THEN WE HAVE AFTER MY HUSBAND, WHO IS A LIFELONG COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN, LIFETIME ALASKAN, A PRODUCTION... |
| 01:28:57 |
|
TODD IS A-A PRODUCTION OPERATOR IN THE OIL FIELDS UP ON ALASKA'S NORTH SLOPE AND HE'S A PROUD MEMBER... |
| 01:29:18 |
|
TODD AND I MET BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL. AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT HE IS STILL THE MAN THAT I ADMIRE MOST... |
| 01:29:32 |
|
ALONG THE WAY, TODD AND I HAVE SHARED MANY BLESSINGS. AND FOUR OUT OF FIVE OF THEM ARE HERE WITH US... |
| 01:30:13 |
|
TRACK NOW SERVES IN AN INFANTRY BRIGADE AND ON SEPTEMBER 11th TRACK WILL DEPLOY TO IRAQ IN THE SERVICE... |
| 01:30:32 |
|
50, PLEASE. |
| 01:30:34 |
|
I NEVER REALLY SET OUT TO BE INVOLVED IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS. MUCH LESS, TO RUN FOR THIS OFFICE. MY MOM... |
| 01:32:03 |
|
50 PLEASE. |
| 01:32:06 |
|
ONE MORE SEGMENT. |
| 01:32:08 |
|
ONE OIL AND GAS PRICES WENT UP SO DRAMATICALLY IN THE STATE REVENUE FOLLOWED THAT INCREASE, I SENT... |
| 01:33:06 |
|
OF ALL THE THINGS SHE HAS SAID, THE ENDING OF A BRIDGE TO NOWHERE WAS THE HIGHEST POINT IN ALL THAT.... |
| 01:33:19 |
|
WASTE. |
| 01:33:20 |
|
IT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER, IT WAS FAIRLY EASY TO SEE. THIS BRIDGE, OR DID IT GO? |
| 01:33:28 |
|
WIRELESS AT YOUR HIGH POINT? |
| 01:33:30 |
|
THEY DID NOT NEED IT SO SHE SAID NO. |
| 01:33:32 |
|
IS SOMETHING THAT OFFENDS EVERYONE, SPENDING MONEY ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT. YOU'D REACT TWO ALMOST... |
| 01:33:42 |
|
DO FEEL BETTER ABOUT HER OR WORSE ABOUT HER? WHO FEELS BETTER? WHO FEELS WORSE? VERY INTERESTING.... |
| 01:33:56 |
|
YOU KNOW WHAT, I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE OTHER GUY AT ALL. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER SHOW. |
| 01:34:08 |
|
WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN TO WIND THIS UP A LITTLE AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO BRING IN A FEW REPORTERS AND... |
| 01:34:42 |
|
OBAMA. |
| 01:34:45 |
|
PROBABLY OBAMA BY A SMALL MARGIN. |
| 01:34:48 |
|
MCCAIN. |
| 01:34:52 |
|
MCCAIN. |
| 01:34:54 |
|
OKAY, SO THE EXPERIENCED PEOPLE ARE THE MCCAIN PEOPLE. IT IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO BELIEVES CHANGE... |
| 01:35:30 |
|
THAT WAS ONE WORD THAT I CHOSE A REAL YOUNG, YOU ARE ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE... |
| 01:35:42 |
|
WHAT IS THIS ACCOUNTABILITY? |
| 01:35:44 |
|
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR ACTIONS. NOBODY ELSE. |
| 01:35:50 |
|
WHAT IS ACCOUNTABILITY SO IMPORTANT, LUIS? |
| 01:35:53 |
|
CHANGE, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT CHANGES GOING TO BE PUT ACCOUNTABILITY. |
| 01:36:01 |
|
CHANGES FOR THE SAKE OF CHANGE IS OUR EXHIBIT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS IS IMPORTANT.... |
| 01:36:08 |
|
WITH THE CURRENT BUSH ADMINISTRATION HAS SPENT ABOUT THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE YEARS TRYING TO AVOID ACCOUNTABILITY... |
| 01:36:21 |
|
COULD YOU THINK IS MORE ACCOUNTABLE? BARACK OBAMA OR JOHN MCCAIN? IF THAT WERE JUST THE SELECTION,... |
| 01:38:27 |
|
YOU COMING OFF GUARD THERE, BUT BASICALLY I'M AFRAID HIS AIDES, HE GOT HIMSELF A WEEK VICE PRESIDENT... |
| 01:38:53 |
|
WHAT IS JOHN MCCAIN NEED TO DO TO WIN YOUR VOTE. |
| 01:38:59 |
|
I DON'T KNOW. |
| 01:39:00 |
|
WHAT IS THE NEED TO SAY TO WIN YOUR VOTE? |
| 01:39:06 |
|
HE NEEDS TO EXPLAIN WHY HE PICKED SARAH AS HIS PRESIDENT AND HE NEEDS TO BE MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT WHAT... |
| 01:39:20 |
|
BE SPECIFIC, WHAT DOES JOHN MCCAIN YOU TO GET YOUR VOTE? |
| 01:39:25 |
|
HOW THE TAXES ARE GOING TO IMPACT ME AND HOW HE IS FINE TO MAKE OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM HEALTHIER.... |
| 01:39:31 |
|
CHURLS, WHAT CAN HE DO? |
| 01:39:33 |
|
HE NEEDS TO BE SPECIFIC AND WHEN HE COMES OF IDEAS WITH THEIR HEALTH CARE OR SOCIAL SECURITY I WANT... |
| 01:39:41 |
|
I'M SCARED WHEN HE SAID HE DID NOT KNOW TO MCGINNIS TO WORK ON THE COMPUTER AND BLACKBERRY. |
| 01:39:51 |
|
I THINK HE LAID OUT HIS PROGRAM PRETTY WELL IN GENERALITIES BUT HE NEEDS TO BE VERY SPECIFIC AS TO... |
| 01:40:01 |
|
WHAT DOES BARACK OBAMA NEED |
| 01:40:04 |
|
AGE. |
| 01:40:07 |
|
HAS TO GET OLDER. [LAUGHTER] |
| 01:40:12 |
|
WHAT CAN HE DO TOO NEAR VOTE? |
| 01:40:14 |
|
I DON'T THINK HE HAS SAID IT SO MUCH AS FAR AS HE IS A GREAT SPEAKER AND THE WHOLE BUNCH, BUT IT SHOWS... |
| 01:40:35 |
|
INTO THE QUESTION, WHAT DOES BARACK OBAMA NEED TO SAY OR DO TO WIN YOUR VOTE? |
| 01:40:38 |
|
I THINK HE NEEDS TO TELL US WHAT HE HAS DONE, DEMONSTRATES WHY HE WOULD BE A GOOD PRESIDENT. |
| 01:40:44 |
|
YOU HAVEN'T HEARD ENOUGH YET. WHAT DOES BARACK OBAMA NEED TO SAY? CAN I CAN USE TO CONVINCE ME THAT... |
| 01:40:57 |
|
DO YOU THINK TEETEN? |
| 01:41:01 |
|
I THINK HIS CHANCES ARE BETTER. |
| 01:41:02 |
|
WHAT DOES BARACK OBAMA NEED TO SAY OR DO TWO ABSOLUTELY UYGHUR VOTE? |
| 01:41:09 |
|
HE NEEDS TO SHOW ME THAT HE CAN ADDRESS ALL THE ISSUES OF ALL AMERICANS AND SHOW ME AN OUTLINE AS... |
| 01:41:17 |
|
HE NEEDS TO STOP TRYING TO FINESSE MADE. AND GIVE ME SOME DETAILS, HE NEEDS TO PROVE TO ME THAT HIS... |
| 01:41:29 |
|
MORE SPECIFICS. |
| 01:41:31 |
|
WHAT SPECIFICALLY? |
| 01:41:34 |
|
WELL, ANYBODY CAN SAY CHANGED BUT CAN WE EVEN AFFORD IT. WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING TO COME FROM? OUR... |
| 01:41:43 |
|
ANYBODY INFLUENCED BY THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION IN ANY WAY? HOW MANY WAS A YOUR OPINION OF OBAMA DID... |
| 01:42:21 |
|
I LIKE HIS ACCEPTANCE SPEECH WHERE HE TALKED ABOUT SPECIFIC THINGS HE WAS GOING TO DO, BUT THEN WHAT... |
| 01:42:45 |
|
TIM, WHAT MOVES YOU TOWARD HIM. |
| 01:42:49 |
|
IT IS HARD NOT TO LISTEN TO HIM AND BE A LITTLE SWAYED BY IT WHEN YOU ARE WATCHING IT. WHEN YOU'RE... |
| 01:43:02 |
|
LAST QUESTION AND THEN WILL TURN IT OVER TO MY ESTEEMED COLLEAGUES. THE REPUBLICANS HAVE TO DECIDE... |
| 01:43:31 |
|
CONTINUE TO HAVE THE CONVENTION CERTAINLY WITHIN YOUR TO THE WEATHER AND GIVE SPECIFICS DURING THE... |
| 01:43:40 |
|
SO EVEN WITH THIS DEVASTATING STORM, YOU WANT THEM TO GO ON WITH THE POLITICS. WHY? |
| 01:43:49 |
|
LIFE GOES ON. |
| 01:43:53 |
|
AS A GRANDFATHER OF 18 KIDS, WHICH OF THE REPUBLICANS DO? |
| 01:43:59 |
|
WELL, I HEARD ON THIS MORNING'S NEWSCAST IT'S AN OBLIGATION THEY HAVE TO HAVE A CONVENTION, SO THEY... |
| 01:44:16 |
|
SO YOU WOULD SHORTEN IT? |
| 01:44:17 |
|
YOUTUBE ARE AMONG THE YOUNGER PEOPLE HERE, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? |
| 01:44:24 |
|
[INAUDIBLE] I THINK THE CONVENTION GOES ON. I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT THERE WOULD SPEND ALL THIS MONEY... |
| 01:44:34 |
|
I THINK THEY CAN RECOGNIZE THE STORE BUT CAN IT CONTINUE WITH THE CONVENTION. |
| 01:44:39 |
|
HOW MANY THINK THE CONVENTION SHOULD GO ON? EVERYBODY. BUT HOW MANY THINK PRESIDENT BUSH MADE THE... |
| 01:45:00 |
|
I WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU, THIS GROUP IS BEING HOSTED AARP, CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY THESE PEOPLE ARE GATHERED... |
| 01:45:09 |

| 01:48:26 |

| 01:48:42 |
|
THE WAR IN IRAQ, HOW IS THAT GOING TO AFFECT YOUR VOTE? |
| 01:48:46 |
|
