NOW, THE FUTURE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. THIS IS A FORUM HELD AT THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO. WE WILL... |
| 00:00:40 |
|
THE TITLE OF THIS PROGRAM IS "REBRANDING REPUBLICANS, CANNOT UNDERESTIMATE US." I AM THE FORMER REGION... |
| 00:03:09 |
|
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, PAUL. THE REASON WE WERE GIVEN ALL THIS MAKE UP IS BECAUSE THE ORGANIZERS AT... |
| 00:03:39 |
|
THIS IS A CONFERENCE ON WORLD AFFAIRS. YOU WOULD NOT WANT TO GET THE IMPRESSION IT IS JUST ANOTHER... |
| 00:14:23 |
|
THANK YOU. I AM NOT AS PESSIMISTIC, AND I WANT TO BROADEN OUR HISTORICAL SURVEY BACK TO PREVIOUS TIMES... |
| 00:22:07 |
|
WHERE DO I EVEN START? DENAUD MISUNDERESTIMATE US. -- DO NOT MISUNDERESTIMATE US. WHY DID YOU RECOVER... |
| 00:22:36 |
|
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ABANDONED LIBERALISM AND EMBRACED APPEASEMENT AND ENGAGEMENT. |
| 00:22:42 |
|
I BELIEVE IN THE IDEA OF LOWER TAXES AND THAT A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS A MORE RESTRAINED -- A MORE... |
| 00:22:57 |
|
I MET A GUY IN LAW SCHOOL NAMED ROBERT G. KAUFFMAN. HE STARTED TALKING TO ME AND TELLING ME YOU OUGHT... |
| 00:23:15 |
|
THE GIRLS WHO CAME TO WASHINGTON ARE BETTER LOOKING AND HE BECAME A REPUBLICAN. |
| 00:23:24 |
|
THERE WAS NO POLICY, JUST BOOKS? |
| 00:23:27 |
|
A LIMITED GOVERNMENT, AND FIGHTING COMMUNISM. |
| 00:23:34 |
|
WHEN I FIRST PART OF LOOKING AT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, A LOT OF MY DEMOCRATIC FRIENDS KEPT SAYING TO... |
| 00:23:55 |
|
THE REASON I ASK THIS IS BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE HAVE A MONOLITHIC VIEW OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. IT IS... |
| 00:30:37 |
|
GOOD AFTERNOON. IT IS GREAT TO BE BACK IN BOULDER AND GOOD TO SEE A LOT OF FAMILIAR FACES. I WANTED... |
| 00:43:56 |
|
I WOULD JUST ASK MYIKE, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE EXIT POLL DATA, IS THERE ANY SENSE THAT CONSERVATIVES... |
| 00:44:37 |
|
WHAT DAN SAID IS VERY MUCH ON POINT. SOME OF THE EXIT POLLS HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHICH OF THE TWO... |
| 00:45:15 |
|
LET'S GO TO QUESTIONS, AND I ASK THAT YOU KEEP THEM BRIEF. |
| 00:45:19 |
|
I WAS STRUCK BY THE FACT THAT YOU ARE BASICALLY TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY,... |
| 00:45:56 |
|
LET ME SHARE AN ANECDOTAL STORY WITH YOU. WHEN I WAS DOING THE PRIMARIES IN THE MIDWEST, THERE WERE... |
| 00:46:37 |
|
SO YOU WERE CONTACTING YOUR SPIRIT IN ANOTHER WAY. |
| 00:46:39 |
|
PRECISELY. THEY ARE A CONSTITUENCY WITHIN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. BUT SO IS THE MORE INDIVIDUAL LIBERTIES... |
| 00:47:30 |
|
YOU ARE BEING UNFAIR TO THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT BY TREATING IT AS A MONOLITHIC PHENOMENON. THERE ARE ELEMENTS... |
| 00:49:24 |
|
I LIVE IN NEW YORK. I AM PROBABLY CLOSER IN TERMS OF BEING A MORE LIBERTARIAN EGOS. FIRST OF ALL,... |
| 00:51:56 |
|
I THINK IF YOU PLAY THE TAPE BACK, I CLEARLY STATED THEY ARE STILL AN IMPORTANT GROUP WITHIN OUR PARTY,... |
| 00:52:15 |
|
IT IS A GOOD QUESTION. ONE OF THE POLITICAL LESSONS IS THAT ON SOCIAL ISSUES, THE PARTY THAT IS ON... |
| 00:53:35 |
|
I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE HEALTH CARE ISSUE THAT YOU BROUGHT UP. WOULD YOU COMMENT ABOUT WHAT... |
| 00:53:51 |
|
HE IS SAYING THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE ARGUED IT IS PURELY DEMOGRAPHICS THAT ARE THE PROBLEM WITH... |
| 00:55:13 |
|
AS FAR AS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT ABRAHAM LINCOLN WAS ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF... |
| 00:56:06 |
|
HE STOOD FOR THE PROPOSITION THAT EVERY MAN AND WOMAN SHOULD BE FREE TO EARN THEIR OWN LIVING IN A... |
| 00:57:29 |
|
YOU WERE NOT SAYING THAT IRAQ WAS THE 51ST STATE, RIGHT? |
| 00:57:35 |
|
I AM SAYING THAT IN BOTH CASES, IT WAS THE NATURE OF THE REGIME THAT WAS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE CONFLICT,... |
| 00:58:06 |
|
ON ABRAHAM LINCOLN QUESTION, I AGREE DEFINITELY WITH A VIEW ON LINCOLN IN THE CONTEXT OF THE ECONOMIC... |
| 00:59:46 |
|
LET'S MOVE TO THE NEXT QUESTION. |
| 00:59:49 |
|
THIS QUESTION IS FOR ROBERT COFFIN. I THOUGHT MY HUSBAND WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THAT HISTORY... |
| 01:00:11 |
|
AFTER YOU FINISH THIS PANEL, GO DOWN TO YOUR BOOKSTORE AND GET MY BOOK. |
| 01:00:21 |
|
IT MAKES A LOVELY GIFT FOR YOUR HUSBAND. |
| 01:00:23 |
|
I HAVE TWO OR THREE BOOK CHAPTERS COMING OUT INCLUDING ON STANFORD PRESS. I WAS PART OF THE GROUP... |
| 01:02:40 |
|
ALL FEEL FREE TO JUMP IN. THERE SEEMS TO BE A PREVAILING MEDIA FICTION THAT GOVERNMENT ACTIONS CAN'T... |
| 01:03:08 |
|
HOW DID IT GET STARTED? IT STARTS WITH THE PREMISE THAT, BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS WERE IN CONTROL OVER... |
| 01:06:02 |
|
DURING THE BUSH YEARS, WE HAD WRITTEN A COUPLE OF PAPERS QUANTIFYING THE INCREASE IN THE SIZE AND... |
| 01:07:40 |
|
IF YOU LOOK AT THE RESPONSE TO ENRON -- BUT, LOOK. I AM GOING TO SAY THE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS... |
| 01:10:20 |
|
ONE THING YOU HAD FROM BILL CLINTON THROUGH GEORGE W. BUSH IS THE IDEA THAT EXPANDING HOMEOWNERSHIP... |
| 01:10:45 |
|
BUT THAT IS A PROBLEM, NOT OF THE MARKETPLACE, BUT WHEN WE MESS WITH THE MARKETPLACE. IF YOU LOOK... |
| 01:11:45 |
|
THE ONLY THING I DISAGREE WITH ON THAT, IS THAT CDS'S NEEDED SOME KIND OF REGULATION FOR NO OTHER... |
| 01:12:12 |
|
THAT WAS BARNEY FRANK AND CHRIS DODD, NOT GEORGE BUSH. |
| 01:12:20 |
|
THE DEFICIT. I AM A LITTLE CURIOUS AS TO HOW THE REPUBLICAN PARTY INTENDS TO MOVE AHEAD, CONSIDERING... |
| 01:12:57 |
|
I WOULD JUST REMIND YOU THAT THE GOVERNMENT SPENDING AT UNDER THE RONALD REAGAN ADMINISTRATION CREATED... |
| 01:14:25 |
|
IT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE DEFICIT AS A RATIO TO ECONOMIC GROWTH. WHAT YOU'RE SPENDING FOR, WHAT YOUR... |
| 01:14:59 |
|
IN THE 1990'S WHEN WE DID GO INTO SURPLUS, IT WAS A COMBINATION OF A DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT AND A REPUBLICAN... |
| 01:18:28 |
|
MY QUESTION IS ON ECONOMICS. RIGHT NOW, MOST OF THE JOB LOSSES ACTUALLY END UP BEING FOUR MEN AND... |
| 01:18:43 |
|
YOUR QUESTION, PLEASE. |
| 01:18:47 |
|
HOW DOES THAT OFFER AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS FREE BRANDING THAT IS SO -- FOR THIS REBRANDING GOING... |
| 01:19:06 |
|
WAS A DONE FOR IMPRUDENT REASONS? THE REPUBLICANS CANNOT COME UP WITH AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH IN ... |
| 01:20:22 |
|
I THINK THE QUESTIONS HAVE STIMULATED GOOD CONVERSATION. LET'S SHOW OUR APPRECIATION FOR THE PANEL.... |
