|
THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO YOU AND TO THE COMMISSION, AND THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI FOR HOSTING US... |
| 00:05:54 |
|
SENATOR MCCAIN, TWO MINUTES. |
| 00:05:56 |
|
THANK YOU, AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE. I DO HAVE A SAD NOTE TONIGHT. SENATOR KENNEDY IS IN THE HOSPITAL.... |
| 00:08:14 |
|
ALL RIGHT, LET US GO BACK TO POWER QUESTION. WHERE THE STAND ON THE RECOVERY PLAN. TALK TO EACH OTHER... |
| 00:08:31 |
|
WE HAVE NOT SEEN THE LANGUAGE YET. AND I DO THINK THAT THERE IS CONSTRUCTIVE WORK BEING DONE OUT THERE,... |
| 00:09:45 |
|
ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE FOR THE PLAN? |
| 00:09:46 |
|
I HOPE SO. LET ME POINT OUT THAT I ALSO WARNED ABOUT FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC AND WARNED ABOUT ... |
| 00:11:21 |
|
YOU HAVE SOMETHING DIRECTLY TO SAY, SENATOR OBAMA, TO SENATOR MCCAIN ABOUT WHAT HE SAID IDENTITY... |
| 00:12:05 |
|
SAY IT DIRECTLY TO HIM. |
| 00:12:10 |
|
JOHN, 10 DAYS AGO YOU SAID THAT THE FUNDAMENTALS OF OUR ECONOMY ARE STRONG. |
| 00:12:13 |
|
ARE YOU AFRAID THAT I COULD NOT HEAR HIM? [LAUGHTER] |
| 00:12:20 |
|
I AM DETERMINED TO GET YOU ALL TO TALK TO EACH OTHER. I AM GOING TO TRY. |
| 00:12:24 |
|
I JUST ON THE BADLY DISAGREE. AND UNLESS WE ARE HOLDING OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE, DAY IN AND DAY OUT,... |
| 00:12:55 |
|
SO SENATOR MCCAIN, DO YOU AGREE WITH WHAT SENATOR OBAMA JUST SAID? AND IF YOU DO NOT, TELL HIM WHAT... |
| 00:13:04 |
|
WE HAVE TO FIX THE SYSTEM. WE HAVE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEMS IN THE SYSTEM. MAIN STREET IS PAYING FOR THE... |
| 00:13:56 |
|
LET US GO TO OUR NEXT QUESTION, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY FOLLOWING UP ON AT THE SUBJECT. AND, SENATOR... |
| 00:14:18 |
|
THE FIRST THING THAT WE HAVE TO DO IS TO GET THE SPENDING OUT OF CONTROL -- UNDER CONTROL IN WASHINGTON.... |
| 00:16:02 |
|
SENATOR OBAMA, TWO MINUTES. |
| 00:16:05 |
|
HE IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT THAT THE EARMARK PROCESS AS AN ABUSE, WHICH IS WHY I SUSPENDED ANY REQUEST... |
| 00:17:52 |
|
SENATOR OBAMA SUSPENDED THOSE REQUESTS FOR PORK-BARREL SPENDING AFTER HE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.... |
| 00:19:03 |
|
I DID NO WORK JOHN IS GETTING HIS FIGURES. LET US BE CLEAR -- I DO NOT KNOW WHERE JOHN IS GETTING... |
| 00:20:10 |
|
RESPOND DIRECTLY TO SENATOR OBAMA ABOUT THAT. HE HAS STATED TWICE ABOUT YOUR TAX POLICIES. |
| 00:20:17 |
|
LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT ALL SENATOR OBAMA FINDS OBJECTIONABLE. THE BUSINESS TAX. RIGHT... |
| 00:21:59 |
|
SENATOR OBAMA, THE HAVE A QUESTION? |
| 00:22:00 |
|
LET ME MAKE A COUPLE OF POINTS. HERE IS WHAT I CAN TELL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. 95% OF YOU WILL GET... |
| 00:23:41 |
|
LET ME JUST -- WE HAVE TO GO TO ANOTHER LEAD QUESTION. |
| 00:23:47 |
|
I KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WALKING THE WALK AND TALKING THE TALK. WE HAD AN ENERGY... |
| 00:25:00 |
|
THAT IS NOT TRUE, JOHN. |
| 00:25:01 |
|
AGAIN, YOU CAN LOOK IT UP. |
| 00:25:03 |
|
FLOW, IS JUST NOT TRUE. AND IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT OIL COMPANY PROFITS. ON YOUR TAX PLAN, JOHN,... |
| 00:25:30 |
|
THERE ARE A GIVEN TO THE OIL COMPANIES. |
| 00:25:32 |
|
BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER, JOHN, IS THAT I WAS OPPOSED TO THOSE TAX BREAKS. WE HAVE AN ENERGY BILL... |
| 00:25:52 |
|
ALL RIGHT, SPEAKING OF THINGS THAT BOTH OF YOU WANT, ANOTHER LEAD QUESTION. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE... |
| 00:26:30 |
|
WELL, THERE ARE A RANGE OF THINGS THAT WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO BE DELAYED. WE DO NOT KNOW YET WHAT OUR... |
| 00:28:33 |
|
WHAT PRIORITIES WOULD YOU JUST AS PRESIDENT, SENATOR MCCAIN? |
| 00:28:39 |
|
NO MATTER WHAT, WE HAVE GOT TO CUT SPENDING. WE HAVE, AS I HAVE SAID, WE HAVE LET GOVERNMENT GET COMPLETELY... |
| 00:30:24 |
|
BUT IF I HEAR THE TWO OF YOU CORRECTLY, NEITHER ONE OF YOU IS SUGGESTING ANY MAJOR CHANGES IN WHAT... |
| 00:30:36 |
|
AS I SAID BEFORE, JIM, THERE ARE GOING TO BE THINGS THAT WILL HAVE TO BE DELAYED. |
| 00:30:39 |
|
LIKE WHAT? |
| 00:30:42 |
|
I WANT TO MAKE SHORT THAT WE ARE INVESTING IN ENERGY IN ORDER TO FREE OURSELVES FROM DEPENDENCE ON... |
| 00:30:54 |
|
BUT YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO GIVE THAT UP. |
| 00:30:56 |
|
I AM NOT WILLING TO GIVE UP THE NEED TO DO IT, BUT THERE MAY BE INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS OF IT THAT WE... |
| 00:33:07 |
|
I THINK THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. TOMMY -- LET ME TELL YOU ANOTHER PLACE FOR SAVINGS. WE'RE SPENDING... |
| 00:33:28 |
|
WE ARE SENDING $700 BILLION YEAR OVERSEAS TO COUNTRIES THAT DO NOT LIKE US. SOME OF THAT MONEY ENDS... |
| 00:34:24 |
|
LET ME SEE LICHEN FIGURE OUT A WAY TO ASK THE SAME QUESTION -- IF I CAN FIGURE OUT A WAY TO ASK THE... |
| 00:34:45 |
|
THERE IS NO DOUBT IT IS GOING TO AFFECT OUR BUDGETS. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. NOT ONLY -- EVEN IF WE GET... |
| 00:36:06 |
|
I WANT THE FAMILIES TO MAKE THE DECISIONS BETWEEN THEMSELVES AND THEIR DOCTORS, NOT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.... |
| 00:37:37 |
|
IT HAS BEEN YOUR PRESIDENT WHO YOU SAID YOU AGREED WITH 90% OVER THAT -- OF TIME WHO PRESIDED OVER... |
| 00:38:11 |
|
IS WELL KNOWN THAT I HAVE NOT -- IT IS WELL KNOWN I HAVE BEENNOT BEEN MISS CONGENIALITY. I HAVE [INAUDIBLE]... |
| 00:38:44 |
|
LET'S GO TO ANOTHER SUBJECT. MUCH HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT THE LESSONS OF VIETNAM. WHAT DO YOU SEE ABOUT... |
| 00:39:00 |
|
THEY ARE CLEAR THAT YOU CANNOT HAVE A FAILED STRATEGY THAT WILL THEN CAUSE YOU TO NEARLY LOSE A CONFLICT.... |
| 00:40:41 |
|
HOW DO YOU SEE THE LESSONS OF IRAQ? |
| 00:40:43 |
|
THIS IS AN AREA WHERE WE HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE. I THINK THE FIRST QUESTION IS WHETHER WE SHOULD... |
| 00:42:36 |
|
DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT LESSON? |
| 00:42:39 |
|
THE NEXT PRESIDENT IS NOT GOING TO HAVE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AS TO WHETHER WE WENT INTO IRAQ. THE... |
| 00:43:35 |
|
WHAT ABOUT THAT? |
| 00:43:44 |
|
I AM PROUD OF MY VICE- PRESIDENTIAL SELECTION AND JOE BIDEN WHO IS THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SENATE FOREIGN... |
| 00:45:04 |
|
F THE QUESTION IS WHO IS BEST TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS ABOUT HOW WE USE OUR MILITARY, HOW WE MAKE SURE... |
| 00:45:20 |
|
I'M AFRAID SENATOR OBAMA DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TACTIC AND A STRATEGY. I WOULD... |
| 00:46:56 |
|
THERE ARE A BUNCH OF THINGS TO ANSWER. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE TROOP FUNDING ISSUE. JOHN BRINGS THIS... |
| 00:48:56 |
|
@ MICHAEL MULLEN SUGGESTS THAT SENATOR OBAMA PLAN IS DANGEROUS FOR AMERICA. |
| 00:49:00 |
|
THAT IS NOT THE CASE. |
| 00:49:08 |
|
THAT IS WHAT DRAWS-- AND GENERAL PETRAEUS SAID THE SAME THING. OSAMA BIN LADEN AND GENERAL PETRAEUS... |
| 00:50:03 |
|
AFGHANISTAN, LEAD -- AND NEW -- A NEWLY QUESTION. HAVING IT ISHAVING RESULTS IRAQ, WILL MOVE TO AFGHANISTAN.... |
| 00:50:21 |
|
YES, I THINK WE NEED MORE TROOPS. I HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR OVER YEAR NOW. WE HAVE TO DO IT AS... |
| 00:52:33 |
|
AFGHANISTAN, SENATOR MCCAIN? |
| 00:52:35 |
|
I WILL NOT REPEAT THE SAME MISTAKE THAT I REGRET ENORMOUSLY. WE WERE ABLE TO HELP THE AFGHAN FREEDOM... |
| 00:55:15 |
|
KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT HAT -- ATTACKING PAKISTAN. HERE IS WHAT I SAID. ADDED JOHN WANTS TO DISAGREE,... |
| 00:57:04 |
|
I DO NOT THINK THAT SENATOR OBAMA UNDERSTANDS THAT THERE WAS A FAILED STATE IN PAKISTAN WHEN THE SHERIFF... |
| 01:00:09 |
|
LET ME JUST MAKE A POINT. I HAVE GOT A BRACELET TO. FROM THE MOTHER OF SGT RYANNE JOPECK GIVEN TO... |
| 01:01:49 |
|
A NEW QUESTION. |
| 01:01:50 |
|
YOU MIGHT THINK WITH THE KIND OF CONCERN THAT SENATOR OBAMA WOULD HAVE GONE TO AFGHANISTAN PARTICULARLY... |
| 01:02:44 |
|
I HAVE GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS FOR THE TWO OF YOU. YOU OR EVEN ON TIME WHICH IS REMARKABLE CONSIDERING... |
| 01:02:54 |
|
A TESTIMONY TO YOU. |
| 01:02:56 |
|
I DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THAT. ALL MY FIVE MINUTES THINGS HAVE RUN OVER. WE WILL ADJUST AS WE GET THERE.... |
| 01:03:18 |
|
MY READING OF THE THREAT FROM IRAN IS THAT IF IRAN ACQUIRES NUCLEAR WEAPONS, IT IS AN EXISTENTIAL... |
| 01:05:47 |
|
-- ABOUT THE RESULTS OF THEM ACQUIRING NUCLEAR WEAPONS. |
| 01:05:50 |
|
I BELIEVE THE REPUBLICAN GUARD OF IRAN IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I HAVE SAID SO CONSISTENTLY. WHAT... |
| 01:07:44 |
|
WHAT ABOUT TALKING? |
| 01:07:47 |
|
CENTER OBAMA TWICE SAID IN DEBATES -- SENATOR OBAMA TWICE SAID IN DEBATES THAT HE WOULD SIT DOWN WITH,... |
| 01:09:27 |
|
SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS. FIRST OF ALL, AHMADINEJAD IS NOT THE MOST POWERFUL PERSON IN IRAQ -- IRAN.... |
| 01:12:29 |
|
I AM NOT GOING TO SET THE WHITE HOUSE VISITORS SCHEDULE BEFORE I AM PRESIDENT. I DO NOT HAVE CECILIA.... |
| 01:12:49 |
|
OF COURSE NOT. |
| 01:12:52 |
|
HE SAID THERE COULD BE SECRETARY AND LOWER LEVEL MEETINGS. I HAVE ENCOURAGED THAT. THE IRANIANS MET... |
| 01:14:07 |
|
SENATOR MCCAIN KEEP USING THIS EXAMPLE THAT SUDDENLY THE PRESIDENT WOULD JUST BE WITH SOMEBODY WITHOUT... |
| 01:14:57 |
|
LET ME GET THIS RIGHT. WE SIT DOWN WITH HIM AND HE SAYS WE'RE GOING TO WIPE ISRAEL OF THE FACE OF... |
| 01:15:20 |
|
WE WILL TAKE A LOOK. |
| 01:15:24 |
|
HE WOULD NOT SAY THAT PRESIDENTIAL TOP LEVEL. |
| 01:15:26 |
|
NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT THAT. |
| 01:15:29 |
|
OF COURSE HE ENCOURAGES HIS AND OTHER PEOPLE ENCOURAGE CONTACTS AND NEGOTIATIONS. WE DO THAT ALL THE... |
| 01:15:37 |
|
HOLD ON. |
| 01:15:39 |
|
I AM NOT PARSING WORDS. |
| 01:15:41 |
|
HE IS PARSING WORDS. |
| 01:15:44 |
|
I AM USING THE SAME WORDS YOUR ADVISORS USE. |
| 01:15:47 |
|
NEW LEAD QUESTION. RUSSIA, TWO MINUTES, SENATOR OBAMA. HOW DO YOU SEE THE RELATIONSHIP WITH RUSSIA?... |
| 01:16:02 |
|
GIVEN WHAT HAS HAPPENED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS AND MONTHS, OUR ENTIRE RUSSIAN APPROACH HAS TO... |
| 01:18:18 |
|
TWO MINUTES ON RUSSIA. |
| 01:18:21 |
|
I WAS INTERESTED IN SENATOR OBAMA'S REACTION TO THE RUSSIAN AGGRESSION AGAINST GEORGIA. HIS FIRST... |
| 01:21:28 |
|
DO YOU HAVE A MAJOR DIFFERENCE WITH WHAT HE SAID? |
| 01:21:33 |
|
WE AGREE FOR THE MOST PART ON THESE ISSUES. I DISAGREE WITH THIS NOTION THAT SOMEHOW WE DID NOT FORCEFULLY... |
| 01:24:27 |
|
WE HAVE TIME FOR ONE MORE LEAD QUESTION. |
| 01:24:38 |
|
SENATOR OBAMA SAYS ITHE IS FOR NUCLEAR BUT HE IS AGAINST REPROCESSING AND STORING. |
| 01:24:42 |
|
THAT IS NOT TRUE. |
| 01:24:46 |
|
IT IS HARD -- IT IS A BRIDGE. WE KNOW THAT IF WE DRILL OFFSHORE AND EXPLOIT A LOT OF THESE RESERVES,... |
| 01:25:02 |
|
I HAVE TO RESPOND VERY QUICKLY. |
| 01:25:08 |
|
I SUPPORTED NUNN-LUGAR. THAT WAS THE KEY LEGISLATION AT THE TIME THAT PUT THIS ON THE ROAD TO ELIMINATING... |
| 01:25:23 |
|
I HAVE TO CORRECT A RECORD. I HAVE NEVER SAID THAT I OBJECT TO NUCLEAR WASTE. WE HAVE TO STORE IT... |
| 01:25:39 |
|
ONE AT A TIME. |
| 01:25:47 |
|
THE QUESTION IS THIS. BEGINNING WITH YOU, SENATOR MCCAIN. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE LIKELIHOOD IS THAT... |
| 01:26:00 |
|
IT IS MUCH LESS THAN IT WAS THE DAY AFTER 9/11. WE HAVE A SAFER NATION, BUT WE ARE ALL LONG WAY FROM... |
| 01:28:04 |
|
TWO MINUTES. |
| 01:28:09 |
|
OF FIRST I THINK WE'RE SAFER IN SOME WAYS. WE HAVE POURED BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN AIRPORT SECURITY.... |
| 01:30:17 |
|
DO YOU AGREE THERE IS MUCH TO BE DONE IN A NEW ADMINISTRATION TO RESTORE -- |
| 01:30:23 |
|
IN THE CASE OF MISSILE DEFENSE SENATOR OBAMA SAID IT HAD TO BE PROVEN. THAT WAS NOT PROVEN WHEN RONALD... |
| 01:31:43 |
|
THERE IS NO DOUBT. OVER THE LAST EIGHT YEARS THIS ADMINISTRATION, ALONG WITH SENATOR MCCAIN, HAS BEEN... |
| 01:33:48 |
|
I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED AS I MENTIONED BEFORE IN VIRTUALLY EVERY MAJOR NATIONAL SECURITY CHALLENGE WE... |
| 01:35:21 |
|
LET ME JUST MAKE A CLOSING POINT. MY FATHER CAME FROM KENYA. THAT IS WHERE I GET MY NAME. AND IN THE... |
| 01:36:28 |
|
WHEN I CAME HOME FROM PRISON, I SOUGHT VETERANS BEING VERY BADLY TREATED. AND IT MADE ME SAD. AND... |
| 01:37:00 |
|
AND THAT ENDS THE DEBATE TONIGHT. ON OCTOBER 2, THE TWO VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES WILL MEET IN... |
| 01:37:22 |
|
GOOD JOB JOHN. GOOD JOB, GOOD JOB. HI. HOW'RE WE DOING? [APPLAUSE] [APPLAUSE] |
