| 00:00:00 | FROM FLORIDA, CHARLIE CRIST ANNOUNCES HE WILL SEEK THE U. |
| 00:00:05 | S. SENATE SEAT AS AN INDEPENDENT. IMPLICATIONS FOR NOT ONLY THE STATE OF FLORIDA BUT ALSO NATIONAL POLITICS. |
| 00:00:11 | AS WE BEGIN TODAY, WE WILL ACTUALLY CHOOSE A QUOTE FROM PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON ABOUT THE NATION MEETING TO BE FUTURISTIC ONE. |
| 00:00:20 | THAT THE COUNTRY HAS TO TURN ITSELF TOWARDS TOMORROW. |
| 00:00:23 | WE WILL SHOW YOU WHAT HE HAS TO SAY AND INVITE YOU INTO THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE U. |
| 00:00:28 | S. MUST BE A TOMORROW COUNTRY. |
| 00:00:30 | YOU THINK WE ARE READY ARE ONE? |
| 00:00:32 | WHAT IS THE DEFINITION IN YOUR EYES? |
| 00:00:47 | GOOD MORNING, ONCE AGAIN. |
| 00:00:49 | THE EVENT WE ARE USING FOR OUR DISCUSSION THIS MORNING WAS THE PETERSON INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS, IT HAPPENED HERE IN WASHINGTON YESTERDAY. |
| 00:00:59 | A THERE WERE A NUMBER OF SPEAKERS, INCLUDING THE FORMER PRESIDENT. |
| 00:01:03 | ALSO HEADS OF THE DEBT COMMISSION, LOOKING AT HOW TO REVISIT THE U. |
| 00:01:08 | S. DEBT. WE HEARD THIS QUOTE FROM PRESIDENT CLINTON AND WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD THING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT. |
| 00:01:14 | LET US PLAY IT AND WE WILL INVITE YOUR COMMENTS. |
| 00:01:18 | >> AMERICA HAS GOT TO BE BACK IN THE FUTURE BUSINESS, WE HAVE TO BE A TOMORROW COUNTRY. |
| 00:01:23 | WE HAVE TO CREATE MORE JOBS, REVIVE MANUFACTURING. |
| 00:01:27 | WE CAN'T DO IT IF WE KEEP MORTGAGING OUR FUTURE TO OTHER PEOPLE. |
| 00:01:33 | THE WAY TO SELL THIS TO PEOPLE IN AMERICA IS TO TELL THEM HALF OF OUR DEBT IS HELD BY PEOPLE AND OTHER COUNTRIES AND SOON IT WILL BE 75% AND DO THEY WANTED FOR THEIR -- DO THEY REALLY WANT THAT FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN? |
| 00:01:48 | THEN I WOULD TELL THEM THAT I WOULD BE CAREFUL HOW I DO THIS. |
| 00:01:51 | I WOULD IT EVERYTHING I CAN TO MINIMIZE THE BURDEN ON THE OLD, THE POOR, AND UNFORTUNATE, BUT THAT IN ORDER TO DO THAT, YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE WAY YOU DO HEALTH CARE, THE WAY WE DO ENERGY, THE WAY WE DO EDUCATION, -- AND YOU HAVE TO REVERSE THE AGE RATIO. |
| 00:02:14 | HOST: THAT IS THE FORMER PRESIDENT YESTERDAY. |
| 00:02:18 | YOU HEAR WHAT HE SAYS, THE TOMORROW COUNTRY -- CREATE MORE JOBS, REVIVE MANUFACTURING, ADDRESS FEDERAL DEBT, MINIMIZE THE BURDENS ON THE OLD, PORK, AND UNFORTUNATE, CHANGE THE WAY WE DO HEALTH CARE, ENERGY, AND EDUCATION, AND THIS LAST POINT, THAT THE COUNTRY NEEDS MORE IMMIGRANTS. |
| 00:02:37 | WE NEED TO CHANGE THE AGE RATIO. |
| 00:02:40 | WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR WHETHER OR NOT YOU AGREE THAT THE U. |
| 00:02:45 | S. NEEDS TO CHANGE ITS FOCUS AND WHAT YOU THINK OF THE PRESCRIPTION. |
| 00:02:50 | LET'S BEGIN FROM MONTANA, CARMINE ON THE INDEPENDENT LINE. |
| 00:02:58 | CALLER: I THINK A LOT OF WHAT THE PRESIDENT -- IS 100% RIGHT. |
| 00:03:03 | THE LAST PART WHERE THEY WANT TO ADD MORE PEOPLE TO THE COUNTRY -- I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE REALLY LOOKED AT. |
| 00:03:12 | FIND OUT WHO WE GOT HERE. |
| 00:03:13 | I THINK IT IS A GREAT IDEA OF TO BE PROGRESSIVE LIKE THAT, BUT YOU CAN'T BE THAT WAY WHEN YOU HAVE ONE PARTY BOATING TOTALLY AND ALL THE DIFFERENT AREAS WE NEED TO IMPROVE THINGS AND GO FORWARD IN THE FUTURE SO HOW CAN WE DO ANYTHING WHEN WE HAVE AN OBSTRUCTIONIST PARTY KEEPING US FROM DOING ANYTHING? |
| 00:03:39 | >>HOST: MICHAEL, REPUBLICAN IN MARYLAND. |
| 00:03:41 | CALLER: I AGREE WITH PRESIDENT CLINTON. |
| 00:03:43 | I THINK IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. |
| 00:03:45 | WE HAVE BEEN A SOCIETY INVESTING IN TODAY IN EVERYTHING AND WE NEED TO INVEST FOR THE LONG TERM. |
| 00:03:53 | I THINK THAT IS THE BEST WAY TO APPROACH THINGS. |
| 00:03:56 | OUR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, HEALTH CARE SYSTEM, SOCIAL SECURITY, WE NEED TO THINK LONG TERM. |
| 00:04:03 | I AM A REPUBLICAN. |
| 00:04:04 | I THINK THEY'RE REALLY HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO VOTE FOR MY REPUBLICAN PARTY BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE CHOICES THAT THEY MADE AND SOME OF THE ACTIONS THEY HAVE DONE BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO EAT WITH PEOPLE TO STAND ON THEIR OWN FEET. |
| 00:04:16 | I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO STRING PEOPLE ALONG AND GIVE THEM WELFARE PACKAGE IS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. |
| 00:04:22 | I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE EQUIPPED TO STAND ON THEIR OWN TWO FEET AND THAT IS MY OPINION. |
| 00:04:27 | THANK YOU. |
| 00:04:29 | HOST: MARKETS A DEMOCRAT FROM ALL CALLA, FLORIDA. |
| 00:04:32 | PRESIDENT CLINTON EXHORTS US TO BE BACK IN THE FUTURE BUSINESS. |
| 00:04:36 | WHAT DO YOU THINK? |
| 00:04:37 | CALLER: I THINK HE IS RIGHT ON WITH MANY OF THE THINGS THAT HE SAID. |
| 00:04:43 | I THINK THE BIGGEST THING LEFT OUT IS WOULD NEED TO REFORM THE POLITICAL PROCESS. |
| 00:04:48 | UNTIL WE GET RID OF THE SPECIAL INTEREST MONEY THAT GOES TO THE CAMPAIGNS, IF WE DID NOT SERIOUSLY LOOK AT GOING INTO SOME SORT OF PUBLIC FINANCE OF OUR POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS, WE WILL NOT SOLVE ANY OF OUR PROBLEMS CORRECTLY. |
| 00:05:04 | JUST LOOK AT THE RECENT EVENTS WITH THE PROCESS WE HAVE GONE THROUGH, TRYING TO GET THE FINANCIAL FORM -- A REFORM SYSTEM BILL PASSED. |
| 00:05:16 | THE BANKS HAVE TAKEN OF THAT PROCESS BUT A LOOK AT WHAT WE JUST WENT THROUGH WITH THE HEALTH REFORM PROCESS. |
| 00:05:22 | A THE DRUG COMPANIES AND THE INSURANCE COMPANIES DOMINATED THAT PROCESS AND THE SPOT -- DISTORTED WHAT THE TRUE FACTS ARE. |
| 00:05:31 | UNTIL WE CAN REFORM HOW CAMPAIGNS ARE FINANCED, WE WILL NEVER GET -- THE REAL INTERESTS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL NOT BE SERVED. |
| 00:05:41 | HOST: I PULLED THE STORY FROM "THE FINANCIAL TIMES CALLS " THIS MORNING BECAUSE SHANGHAI, CHINA, HAVING A SIX-MONTH EXPO, BRINGING A STRONG ARRAY OF MULTINATIONAL BUSINESS EXHIBITORS AND ALREADY YIELDING BENEFITS FOR THE CITY OF 20 MILLION PEOPLE. |
| 00:06:00 | FUTURISTIC YET FRUITFUL, IS THE NAME. |
| 00:06:03 | AND BELOW IT IS A BOX THAT TALKED-ABOUT CHINA, THE BURDEN OF URBANIZATION, THE SCALE OF WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IS ENORMOUS. |
| 00:06:11 | THEY WRITE IN "OF FINANCE OF TIMES" THAT -- ANDERSON, INDIANA, JAMIE ON THE INDEPENDENT LINE PARA CALLER: HOW ARE YOU DOING? |
| 00:06:41 | I WANTED TO SAY THAT -- I WAS TAUGHT IN SCHOOL THAT OUR COUNTRY WAS A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS BUT NEVERTHELESS NOW WE SEE TODAY THERE IS A PUSH TO USE OUR SOUTHERN STRATEGY TO DICTATE IMMIGRATION. |
| 00:06:57 | I DON'T KNOW WHAT TOMORROW MAY HOLD BUT I DO THINK, THOUGH, THAT THIS IS VERY INTERESTING AND I KNOW THAT TOMORROW, WE TAKE THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE TOMORROW, CONTINUED TO SEE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO USE THE SOUTHERN STRATEGY WILL FURTHER EXPOSE BIASES WHEN IMMIGRATION ISSUES COME UP IN THE SENATE AND THEN THE NEXT SUPREME COURT JUSTICE, IF HE APPOINTS A MINORITY, I DO NOT THINK THIS COUNTRY WILL BE BUILT TO STAND IT BECAUSE THE -- OBJECTIONS FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE USING THE SOUTHERN STRATEGY, YOU WOULD GET MICHAEL STEELE, WHO IS A MINORITY HIMSELF LEADING THE RNC AND SAYING THAT IS A PROBLEM AND THEY NEED TO LEAD AWAY FROM THAT. |
| 00:07:41 | THAT IS NOT OBAMA'S FAULT OR ANY BLACK GUY WHO DOES NOT REALLY TRUST REPUBLICANS, I USED TO BE A REPUBLICAN BUT I COULD NOT IN GOOD FAITH CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE SOUTHERN STRATEGY CONSIDERING THAT I AS A BLACK MAN WAS OFFENDED AT SOME OF THE THINGS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS BEEN DOING SO I DO THINK TOMORROW WILL PROBABLY SEE A PERMANENT MINORITY STATUS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AS THEY SOLIDIFY AND PANDER TO THIS SOUTHERN STRATEGY, I THINK IT WILL COST THEM, THE LARGEST VOTING BLOC IN THIS COUNTRY, LEGAL MEXICANS THAT COME HERE, WILL BE A VOTING BLOC THAT I THINK WILL RUN AS FAST AS THEY CAN AWAY FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. |
| 00:08:22 | OF THE SOUTHERN EDGE STRATEGY IS KILLING THEM. |
| 00:08:25 | HOST: WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PRESIDENT CLINTON AND HIS STATEMENT AT THE PETERSON INSTITUTE THAT THE UNITED STATES MUST GET BACK TO THE FUTURE BUSINESS, WE MUST BE A TOMORROW COUNTRY. |
| 00:08:36 | ON THE SCREEN ARE HIS PRESCRIPTIONS. |
| 00:08:38 | WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR WHAT YOU THINK. |
| 00:08:42 | REDDING, PENNSYLVANIA, WILLIAM, REPUBLICAN LINE -- READING, PENNSYLVANIA, WILLIAM, A REPUBLICAN LINE. |
| 00:08:51 | CALLER: MY OWN, AND IS -- PRESIDENT CLINTON, I KNOW IT IS HINDSIGHT BUT HE PASSED NAFTA AND I THINK THAT IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN MANUFACTURING IN THE LAST 20 YEARS AROUND HERE. |
| 00:09:03 | I WATCHED SOME OF THE BUDGET STUFF EARLIER THIS MORNING, AND THE BUDGET SEEMS TO BE SUCH AN AMAZING PROBLEM THAT I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY TRIED TO GET HEALTH CARE THROUGH ON PAID WHEN WE HAVE ALL OF THESE OTHER PROBLEMS. |
| 00:09:22 | HOST: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THINKING TO THE FUTURE? |
| 00:09:26 | TALKING ABOUT THESE ISSUES TODAY. |
| 00:09:29 | CALLER: I AGREE. |
| 00:09:30 | I WATCHED THE PETERSON PROGRAM RIGHT BEFORE THIS AND SOMETHING DOES HAVE TO BE DONE, GUARANTEED. |
| 00:09:36 | HOST: THE QUESTION OF HOW TO DO IT, IT SOUNDS LIKE? |
| 00:09:40 | CALLER: WELL, YES. |
| 00:09:42 | BUT ROBBING SOCIAL SECURITY IS NOT THE ANSWER, I THINK. |
| 00:09:56 | HOST: OUR NEXT CALL COMES FROM IKE WATCHING US FROM OXON HILL, MARYLAND, ON OUR DEMOCRATS LINE. |
| 00:10:04 | CALLER: GOOD MORNING. |
| 00:10:06 | I WAS CALLING BECAUSE I DEFINITELY AGREE WITH WHAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAD TO SAY -- LIKE HOST: INCLUDING THE FACT THAT WE NEED MORE IMMIGRANTS? |
| 00:10:17 | CALLER: THE REASON WHY I AGREE WITH THAT POINT IS BECAUSE I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A PATHWAY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ILLEGAL TO BECOME CITIZENS, AND THEY ACTUALLY WANT TO LIVE THE AMERICAN DREAM AND THAT IS SOMETHING ALL AMERICANS SHARE. |
| 00:10:34 | AND ALSO, WE ACTION AND RACE THEM AS AMERICANS AND PROVIDE THE PATHWAY WE WOULD ACTUALLY PAY MORE REVENUES AND THEY COULD PAY INTO THE TAX SYSTEM. |
| 00:10:45 | THAT WOULD BE A GOOD WAY. |
| 00:10:49 | HOST: OUR NEXT COMMENT ON U. |
| 00:10:52 | S. AS A TOMORROW COUNTRY, THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE, JOHN, ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA, INDEPENDENT LINE. |
| 00:10:59 | CALLER: I DISAGREE WITH PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING PRESIDENT CLINTON EVER SAID -- AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, EVERY TIME HE SPEAKS HE IS A THREAT TO OUR CONSTITUTION. |
| 00:11:11 | HOST: IN WHAT WAY? |
| 00:11:13 | CALLER: THE PREVIOUS CALLER MENTIONED NAFTA AND GATT AND I RECALL ROSS PEROT IN THOSE DEBATES AND EVERYTHING HE SAID CAME TRUE. |
| 00:11:25 | AND THE GIANT SUCKING SOUND OF JOBS -- WELL, WE ARE TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DEBT BECAUSE OF THESE CONTESTS AND IDEAS WHICH SUGGEST THAT OUR CONSTITUTION TO THIS KIND OF INVERTED MARKET. |
| 00:11:40 | THEY ARE STILL TOTTING THIS GLOBALISM AND SACRIFICING THE COMPETITION OF THE UNITED STATES AND SECURITY AS A RESULT AND THAT IS WHY PEOPLE WANT TO COME HERE, WHY THEY WANTED TO COME HERE. |
| 00:11:54 | BUT WHEN HE IS TALKING ABOUT BRINGING IN A FOREIGN ATTITUDE -- BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT YOU'RE DOING -- YOU HAVE TO ASSIMILATE. |
| 00:12:03 | YOU CAN'T ASSIMILATE IF YOU DILUTE THE CONSTITUTION AND SACRIFICE IT FOR SOME GLOBAL PRINCIPLE. |
| 00:12:13 | THAT IS PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY WHAT ALL OF THESE AND NATIONAL LEADERS ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE TRYING TO DO RIGHT NOW OUT OF THERE IN THE POLITICAL SPEAK. |
| 00:12:23 | AND THE CRISIS MANAGEMENT ASPECT OF THEIR FAILURES IS A TOOL THAT THEY HAVE BEEN USING FOR YEARS. |
| 00:12:32 | AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, CLINTON AND EVEN THE REPUBLICANS, THE LEADERS THAT IN THE PAST SINCE I HAVE BEEN ALIVE, 40 SOME ODD YEARS, HAVE BEEN TOTAL, A TEAR FAILURES TO THE CONSTITUTION. |
| 00:12:47 | I CAN'T STAND THEM. |
| 00:12:49 | WILL NOT VOTE FOR THEM AND I WANT TO GET THEM THE HECK OUT OF OFFICE NOW. |
| 00:12:52 | HOST: HOW OLD ARE YOU JOHN? |
| 00:12:54 | CALLER: I AM GOING TO BE 43 NEXT MONTH. |
| 00:12:57 | HOST: BECAUSE HE SAID DURING MY LIFETIME. |
| 00:13:00 | JUST LOOKING AT THE ARC OF THE PRESIDENTS THAT YOU EXPERIENCE. |
| 00:13:06 | ALL OF OUR GUESTS THIS MORNING PLAY INTO THIS DISCUSSION IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. |
| 00:13:11 | FIRST UP AT 7:45 A. |
| 00:13:13 | M. INCIDENT -- EASTERN TIME, TALK ABOUT THE EUROPEAN FINANCIAL CRISIS AND THE TOPIC IS THE SITUATION IN GREECE, HAVING A HANDLE ON THAT, AND WHETHER IT IS A THREAT TO GLOBAL RECOVERY PARTICULARLY IN THE UNITED STATES. |
| 00:13:30 | IT LATER ON ONE OF THE CHIEF CO- SPONSORS OF THE ERRORS ON THE IMMIGRATION BILL, STATE REPRESENTATIVE JOHN KAVANAGH. |
| 00:13:38 | HE WILL BE HERE TO TALK ABOUT WHY THE STATE OF ARIZONA WENT INTO THE DIRECTION IT DID AND ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT REPORTS YOU HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT THE ARIZONA LAW. |
| 00:13:48 | AND THE WHITE HOUSE AND JUSTICE DEPARTMENT ARE CONSIDERING A VERY QUICK LEGAL CHALLENGE, THE DECISION OF UP TO THE WHITE HOUSE ON THAT. |
| 00:13:55 | FINALLY, WE WILL TALK TO A MEMBER OF THE HOUSE FINANCIAL- SERVICES COMMITTEE ON FINANCIAL MARKET REGULATION AFTER THE SENATE DEBATE AND THE HEARINGS WITH GOLDMAN SACHS THIS WEEK. |
| 00:14:05 | SO, ALL ASPECTS OF THIS QUESTION ON WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE A TOMORROW COUNTRY AND THE IMPLICATIONS OF INCREASED GLOBALIZATION MIGHT BE. |
| 00:14:14 | >> TELEPHONE CALL FROM PITTSBURGH. |
| 00:14:16 | REPUBLICAN LINE. |
| 00:14:19 | CALLER: YOU MIGHT LAUGH AT ME. |
| 00:14:21 | I ENJOY YOUR STATION VERY MUCH, BY THE WAY. |
| 00:14:24 | YOU MAY LAUGH AT ME, BUT IF YOU LOOK IN THE BOOK, AMOS, YOU WILL SEE WHAT IS GOING ON TODAY. |
| 00:14:32 | TODAY WE ARE A SODOMITE NATION AND THE BLIND ARE LEADING THE BLIND. |
| 00:14:41 | SORRY, WE DON'T HAVE THAT TOMORROW BECAUSE WE ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE. |
| 00:14:45 | WE ARE GOING TO GO DOWN THIS ROAD AND IT IS GOING TO BE THE END FOR US. |
| 00:14:51 | I'M SORRY TO SAY THAT. |
| 00:14:52 | IT BREAKS MY HEART. |
| 00:14:55 | I'M 75. |
| 00:14:56 | THE ONES I FEEL SORRY FOR ARE THE CHILDREN. |
| 00:14:59 | THOSE THAT ARE 3, 4, 5 YEARS OLD NOW. |
| 00:15:03 | THEY ARE THE ONES THAT ARE REALLY GOING TO SUFFER FROM THAT IDIOCY AND A REJECTION OF THE LORD. |
| 00:15:13 | I AM SORRY TO SAY -- TELL YOU THIS. |
| 00:15:16 | SO LONG PARROT HOST: NEXT IT -- SO LONG. |
| 00:15:21 | HOST: NEXT IS DUNCAN. |
| 00:15:27 | CALLER: I THINK THE LAST CALLER WAS INTERESTING BUT I THINK WE NEED TO BE MORE OPTIMISTIC. |
| 00:15:32 | I LIVE HERE IN ARIZONA. |
| 00:15:35 | JUST LIKE JANET NAPOLITANO HAD A BIG STORY -- SENDING TO THE BOARD OF THE NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS AND STOP AND I THINK IT IS CALLED THE UNNECESSARY -- TOTALLY UNNECESSARY. |
| 00:15:48 | I DON'T KNOW WHY WE HAVE SUCH A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH MEXICO AND THE BORDER. |
| 00:15:52 | WE SPEND ALL OF THIS MONEY BUILDING A WALL CROSSING THE ARIZONA DESERT TO KEEP OUT THE BORDER PEOPLE. |
| 00:15:58 | IT IS GOING TO BANKRUPT US. |
| 00:15:59 | WHO IS GOING TO BUILD IT, FIRST OF ALL. |
| 00:16:02 | WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO ALLOCATE THE FUNDS? |
| 00:16:04 | AND PLUS, I HEARD ALSO WE ARE GOING TO WORK ON, SOME AMERICANS WHO RAISED THEIR CHILDREN AND LIVED HERE A CERTAIN TIME, A LIST. |
| 00:16:15 | I THINK -- AFTER ALL, THEY PICK OUR FREE -- OUR FRUIT, BECAUSE WE CANNOT TAKE CARE OF OUR BUSINESS IN JAMAICA. |
| 00:16:29 | TRY TO GET A CHIQUITA BANANA -- WE CAN GET ONE BECAUSE OUR POLICIES ARE WRONG. |
| 00:16:38 | THE MORE AMERICANS WHO WAKE UP TO THE FACT THAT WE ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE THE VOTING POWER TO TAKE OVER THIS COUNTRY AGAIN AND MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS, IF WE ACTUALLY DO WHAT OBAMA SAYS, HAVE THAT -- TIME TO OVERSEE WHAT IT PUTS IN FRONT OF THE SENATE AND REPUBLICANS WHEN I DO SOMETHING. |
| 00:17:04 | I THINK EVERYTHING IS A CATCH- 22. |
| 00:17:06 | I HOPE SOMEBODY HAS SOMETHING MORE POSITIVE TO SAY AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. |
| 00:17:11 | HOST: DUNCAN FROM TUCSON. |
| 00:17:13 | IN TODAY'S NEWS, OFF LEAD STORY AND "THE WASHINGTON POST" IS ON THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS. |
| 00:17:54 | WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PRESIDENT CLINTON'S COMMENTS ABOUT LOOKING TO THE FUTURE AS A NATION. |
| 00:17:58 | THE NEXT TELEPHONE CALL IS FOR WAYNE, INDIANA. |
| 00:18:02 | THIS IS THEIR ROLE, INDEPENDENT LINE. |
| 00:18:10 | GOOD MORNING. -- DARRYLE. |
| 00:18:11 | CALLER: I AM CONTRACT TO A DOD CONSULTANT FIRM AND WHAT WE ARE DOING RIGHT NOW IS CREATING TECHNOLOGIES TO MAKE THE BORDER MUCH SAFER. |
| 00:18:20 | THAT IS NUMBER ONE. |
| 00:18:21 | YOU DO HAVE INDIVIDUALS DOING THAT RIGHT NOW. |
| 00:18:25 | NUMBER TWO, AS FAR AS CLINTON'S KEY POINTS AS FAR AS A SUCCESSFUL AND BETTER AMERICAN, I GREW AGREE WITH IT COMPLETELY. |
| 00:18:36 | -- I AGREE WITH IT COMPLETELY. |
| 00:18:39 | THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE IS THE LAST PORTION, MORE IMMIGRANTS. |
| 00:18:42 | THAT IS THE PROBLEM WE CURRENTLY HAVE RIGHT NOW. |
| 00:18:45 | EVEN AS OF RIGHT NOW, I WOULD SAY PER SURFACE AREA WE ARE COMPLETELY OVER POPULATED. |
| 00:18:53 | AND ALSO PROVES IT ECONOMICALLY BECAUSE AS OF RIGHT NOW, BUT THE POPULATION WE HAVE, WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH JOBS. |
| 00:19:02 | I COULD TELL YOU AS FAR AS PERTAINING TO A LONG TERM, AND AND LIMIT WILL REMAIN IN THE HIGH PERCENTAGES, BETWEEN 8% AND ABOVE. |
| 00:19:14 | THAT IS JUST LOGIC. |
| 00:19:16 | SO, I DON'T THINK WE NEED MORE IMMIGRANTS. |
| 00:19:22 | IF WE DO NEED -- WE ACTUALLY NEED TO LOOK MORE IMMIGRANTS -- FOR MORE IMMIGRANTS THAT ARE HIGHLY SKILLED, THAT WOULD BE A GREAT ASSET. |
| 00:19:34 | BESIDES THAT, I DON'T SEE HOW IT COULD ACTUALLY HELP US. |
| 00:19:37 | IT WOULD BE MUCH MORE OF A BURDEN IF WE ADD TO DECIDE TO BRING MORE IMMIGRANTS WHO LACK PROPER SKILLS. |
| 00:19:46 | THAT IS JUST MY PERSPECTIVE. |
| 00:19:48 | HOST: THANK YOU FOR SHARING WHAT IT WITH US THIS MORNING. |
| 00:19:53 | WE MENTIONED THE THE ANNOUNCEMENT YESTERDAY THAT TODAY OFFICIALLY CHARLIE CRIST WOULD MAKE THE SWITCH FROM THE GOP TO RUNNING FOR THE SENATE AS AN INDEPENDENT. |
| 00:20:03 | I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOME OF THE NATIONAL COVERAGE. |
| 00:20:07 | "THE WALL STREET JOURNAL" -- FLORIDA GOV. |
| 00:20:11 | WILL EXIT SENATE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY AND CAMPAIGN AS AN INDEPENDENT. |
| 00:20:15 | ALSO "THE MIAMI HERALD" SAYS CHARLIE CRIST GOES ALONE. |
| 00:20:20 | THE FRONT-PAGE LEAD STORY. |
| 00:20:24 | LOOKING AT IT FROM THE MONEY SIDE, "THE WASHINGTON TIMES", A GOP WOULD TAKE CASH BACK IF CIRST LEAVES -- CRIST LEADS PARTY. |
| 00:20:39 | WE HAVE THE CAPITAL VIEW REPORTER FOR "THE SENTINEL. |
| 00:20:44 | " WE KNOW THE PARTICULARS. |
| 00:20:46 | THE GOVERNOR WILL LEAVE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT BUT WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR THE RACE IN THE STATE GOING FORWARD? |
| 00:20:59 | GUEST: CRIST IS A UNIQUE CHARACTER IN FLORIDA. |
| 00:21:02 | HE HAS NEVER BEEN A DARLING OF THE RIGHT WING OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. |
| 00:21:07 | STATEWIDE CANDIDATES IN FLORIDA, A LARGE BELL WEATHER, TYPICALLY HAVE TO RUN TO THE RIGHT IN THE PRIMARY AND THEN BACK TO THE CENTER IN THE GENERAL ELECTION. |
| 00:21:17 | THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY OPPONENT, FORMER STATE HOUSE SPEAKER MARKER RUBIO, PRETTY MUCH CAPITALIZE ON THIS ANTI- GOVERNMENT, ANTI BARACK OBAMA WAIVER THAT WAS RISING UP AMONG A LOT OF THE VOTERS SO BY RUNNING AS AN INDEPENDENT HE SORT OF IS TRYING TO CATER TO WHAT HAS BEEN HIS TRADITIONAL BASE, WHICH IS CENTRIST VOTERS -- INDEPENDENCE, MODERATE REPUBLICANS, DEMOCRATS WHO ARE NOT NECESSARILY COMPLETELY WELDED TO THEIR OWN PARTY. |
| 00:21:46 | SO, IT PUTS THE RACE ON ITS HEAD. |
| 00:21:49 | HOST: HE WILL HAVE TO DECLARE TO THE VOTERS WHETHER OR NOT HE INTENDS TO CAUCUS WITH ONE PARTY OR ANOTHER IN ORDER TO HAVE EFFECTIVENESS IN THE SENATE. |
| 00:21:59 | ANY INDICATIONS OF HIS LEANINGS? |
| 00:22:02 | GUEST: I DON'T THINK HE HAS TO SAY IT YET AND PROBABLY WILL NOT HAVE TO SAY IT FOR A WHILE. |
| 00:22:08 | HE IS, MORE SO THAN ANY OTHER POLITICIAN IN FLORIDA, HE IS ADEPT AT USING TELEVISION AS HIS MEDIUM, MANIPULATING TELEVISION. |
| 00:22:19 | HIS MESSAGE INITIALLY WILL BE VERY SIMPLE, THAT HE WILL BE RUNNING AGAINST WHAT HE WILL DESCRIBE AS A CULTURE OF CORRUPTION IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, HE WILL BE RUNNING AS THE PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE. |
| 00:22:31 | THOSE KINDS OF PARTICULARS WILL PROBABLY GET PASSED OUT IN THE COMING DAYS. |
| 00:22:37 | HE IS STILL A REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR SO A REPUBLICAN ELECTED OFFICIAL AND WILL REMAIN SO THROUGHOUT THE CAMPAIGN. |
| 00:22:45 | ALL OF THESE SUPPORTERS, THE OWNERS, CANTING FOLKS WHO WILL CONTINUE TO STICK WITH THEM ARE REPUBLICANS -- SUPPORTERS, DONORS, CAMPAIGN FOLKS WHO WILL CONTINUE TO STICK WITH THE REPUBLICANS. |
| 00:23:04 | HOST: WHAT I HAD BEEN SEEN YESTERDAY SUGGEST THAT REPUBLICAN DONORS, CONSULTANTS, STAFF WILL ALL HAVE TO MAKE BIG DECISIONS. |
| 00:23:13 | GUEST: IT IS REALLY UNPRECEDENTED FOR FLORIDA BECAUSE HE IS GOING TO HAVE TO DO A RETOOLING OF HIS CAMPAIGN. |
| 00:23:22 | NOT JUST CHANGING CAMPAIGN MANAGERS BUT HE IS GOING TO HAVE TO DEVELOP AN ENTIRELY NEW DONOR BASE BECAUSE FOR THE MOST PART, ALL OF THE MONEY HE HAS HAD COMING IN OUR TRADITIONAL REPUBLICAN DONORS. |
| 00:23:36 | THERE ARE MOVEMENTS TO TRY TO GET THEM TO ASK FOR THEIR MONEY BACK, BUT THE GOVERNOR DOES NOT HAVE TO GIVE THE MONEY BACK. |
| 00:23:42 | BUT IN TERMS OF RAISING ANOTHER 10 MILLION, 15 MILLION, $20 MILLION THAT HE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO DO TO SEE IT THROUGH CONCLUSION, HE DOES NOT HAVE A DONOR BASE HE CAN TAP FOR THAT SO HE HAS TO BUILD EVERYTHING ANEW. |
| 00:23:57 | HOST: WHAT DATE IS THE PRIMARY? |
| 00:23:59 | GUEST: AUGUST 24. |
| 00:24:00 | HOST: AS OF THIS MORNING THERE ARE QUOTES FROM NATIONAL POLITICAL OBSERVERS SAY IT GUARANTEES IT WILL BE THE NO. |
| 00:24:07 | 1 SENATE RACE IN THE COUNTRY. |
| 00:24:09 | I KNOW YOU ARE COVERING IT FROM THE STATE PERSPECTIVE BUT I AM SURE YOU ALWAYS AT THE NATIONAL ANKLE. |
| 00:24:16 | WHAT DO YOU THINK IT MEANS FOR NATIONAL POLITICS, HOW THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL FARE WITH VOTERS IN THE FALL ELECTION. |
| 00:24:25 | GUEST: THERE IS A NATIONAL STORY LINE, REPUBLICAN PARTY TURNING BACK TO THE RIGHT TO TRY TO FLEE FROM THIS ATTEMPT TO SORT OF MODERNIZE ITSELF AND GO AFTER NEW VOTERS. |
| 00:24:36 | HERE IN FLORIDA AND NATIONALLY AS WELL THE PARTY HAS TRIED AND LARGELY FAILED TO REACH OUT TO HISPANIC VOTERS AND BRING THEM INTO ITS BASE. |
| 00:24:47 | CRIST WAS CALLED THE FUTURE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY BY JOHN MCCAIN WHEN HE VISITED IN 2006. |
| 00:24:53 | SO THIS IS A REAL BLOW TO MODERATE REPUBLICANS WHO WANTED TO TRY TO MAKE THEIR PARTY MORE INCLUSIVE. |
| 00:25:00 | HOST: YOU MENTIONED HE WOULD RUN ON THE STORY LINE OF CORRUPTION AND THE PARTY, BUT HOW IMPORTANT WILL THE FLORIDA ECONOMY BE IN THE RACE OVER ALL? |
| 00:25:11 | GUEST: THAT IS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WHY HE HAS BECOME A LITTLE MORE VULNERABLE, AND THE FACT THAT HE DID ACCEPT STIMULUS DOLLARS AND HE WAS HAMMERED OVER ACCEPTANCE OF FEDERAL STIMULUS DOLLARS. |
| 00:25:23 | THE ECONOMY PLAYS INTO HOW VOTERS WILL VIEW HIS SUCCESS BECAUSE HE IS OF THE GOVERNOR -- AND ABOVE THE GOVERNOR HAS VERY FEW OPTIONS FOR WHAT HE COULD DO TO TRY TO IMPROVE THE ECONOMY, IT IS A FACTOR WHY HIS NUMBERS HAVE GONE DOWN. |
| 00:25:40 | HE USED TO HAVE STRATOSPHERIC APPROVAL RATINGS. |
| 00:25:44 | STILL NOT BAD NUMBERS -- IT COULD GIVE US THE PARTICULAR OF THE ANNOUNCEMENTS -- HOST: GIVE US THE PARTICULARS OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT. |
| 00:25:58 | GUEST: 5:00 P. |
| 00:25:59 | M. IN A PARK IN ST. |
| 00:26:00 | PETERSBURG, HIS HOMETOWN. |
| 00:26:01 | HE WILL HAVE TEACHERS UNION SUPPORTERS. |
| 00:26:04 | THERE WILL BE A MIX OF REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS. |
| 00:26:07 | THERE WILL BE SOME OF HIS LONGTIME FRIENDS AND FAMILY. |
| 00:26:13 | AS HOMEY AND ANTI-WASHINGTON AND TALLAHASSEE AS HE COULD MAKE IT LOOK. |
| 00:26:20 | HOST: THANK YOU FOR THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION. |
| 00:26:24 | BECOMING THE SENATE RACE TO WATCH IN 2010. |
| 00:26:30 | THAT WAS THE CAPITAL VIEW REPORTER FOR "THE ORLANDO SENTINEL. |
| 00:26:35 | " YOU CAN READ HIS LOCAL REPORTING ON THEIR WEBSITE. |
| 00:26:38 | AND LOTS OF OTHER NATIONAL STORY IS -- STORIES. |
| 00:26:45 | AS CHARLIE CRIST ABANDONS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN HIS BID IN HIS PRIMARY RACE TO MARKET RUBIO. |
| 00:26:52 | LET US GET BACK TO TELEPHONE CALLS. |
| 00:26:55 | TALKING ABOUT PRESIDENT CLINTON'S EXHORTATION AT THE PETERSONS DID THAT THE U. |
| 00:26:59 | S. MUST BE A TOMORROW COUNTRY. |
| 00:27:00 | ON THE SCREEN, THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S PRESCRIPTIONS. |
| 00:27:04 | LET US HEAR YOUR CALLS. |
| 00:27:06 | TEXAS, SCOTT, A REPUBLICAN LINE. |
| 00:27:08 | GOOD MORNING. |
| 00:27:09 | CALLER: GOOD MORNING. |
| 00:27:10 | THE IMPEACHED PERVERT HAS DEFINITELY IDENTIFIED SOME OF THE PROBLEMS -- JOBS, MANUFACTURING, UNSUSTAINABLE DEBT. |
| 00:27:20 | AND WE KNOW IT WOULD JUST EAT US COMPLETELY UP. |
| 00:27:24 | HIS SOLUTIONS, HIS PROGRESSIVE- TYPE SOLUTIONS, HIS AND THE DEMOCRAT PARTY OF MORE GOVERNMENT, MORE TAXES, MORE REGULATION, THAT IS WHAT IS CREATING THE PROBLEM. |
| 00:27:38 | GOVERNMENT IS NOT THE SOLUTION, IT IS THE PROBLEM. |
| 00:27:42 | OUR HOUSING CRISIS, ALL OF THAT CREATED BY GOVERNMENT. |
| 00:27:48 | HOST: THAT IS BOUGHT FROM TEXAS. |
| 00:27:51 | NEXT IS A COMMENT FROM LOS ANGELES, LARRY, DEMOCRATIC LINE. |
| 00:27:57 | CALLER: GOOD MORNING AND A SINCERE -- WE REALLY APPRECIATE C-SPAN OUT HERE IN THE NATION. |
| 00:28:05 | HOST: THANK YOU. |
| 00:28:07 | CALLER: I DID GET A CHANCE TO WHAT FORMER PRESIDENT CLINTON AS HE SPOKE AT THE PEARSON GROUP YESTERDAY. |
| 00:28:14 | AND THE PRESIDENT SEEMS TO BE, HE CONTINUES TO BE WELL READ, WELL-INFORMED, AND A VERY ELOQUENT SPEAKER AND VERY BENEVOLENT WITH HIS TIME AS FAR AS ISSUES LIKE HAITI AND A TSUNAMI EFFORTS IN THE PAST. |
| 00:28:32 | I ALSO TENDED TO DISAGREE WITH SOME OF THE PRESIDENT'S POSITIONS. |
| 00:28:39 | HE WAS ASKED ABOUT ROSS PEROT YESTERDAY AND WHAT HE MEANT TO THE CAMPAIGN DURING THE TIME THAT THE PRESIDENT WAS A CANDIDATE AND WAS ELECTED, AND I SINCERELY FEAR THAT NAFTA, AS A COUPLE OF PREVIOUS CALLERS INDICATED, HAD A VERY DETRIMENTAL IMPACT ON OUR ECONOMY, FROM THE STANDPOINT OF NOT HAVING THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND LABOR LAWS IN EFFECT TO PROTECT THE WORKERS IN THE COUNTRIES WHO ARE IN DIRECT COMPETITION WITH THE UNITED STATES. |
| 00:29:24 | I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH IMMIGRANTS. |
| 00:29:28 | I JUST THINK THAT THE BORDERS NEED TO BE SECURED. |
| 00:29:32 | I DON'T DISAGREE WITH WHAT ARIZONA IS DOING. |
| 00:29:35 | THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO PROTECT THEIR POPULIST AND ARIZONA PUT INTO EFFECT A PROGRAM THAT IDENTIFIES THE ILLEGALS, IT IS JUST A MATTER OF THEM GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE. |
| 00:29:49 | UNTIL USE SECURE THE BORDERS, IT WILL BE LIKE JOHN MCCAIN'S WEB KAMAL FERRY DURING HIS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDACY, THEY WOULD JUST GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. |
| 00:29:59 | I THINK YOU SHOULD SECURE THE BORDERS AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE PEOPLE HERE IN THE COUNTRY AND EDUCATE AND TRAIN THEM TO DO WHAT YOU NEED TO HAVE DONE AS FAR AS TECHNICAL AND INNOVATIVE JOBS. |
| 00:30:11 | THANKS VERY MUCH FOR C-SPAN. |
| 00:30:13 | HOST: PRESIDENT CLINTON WAS INSTITUTED AT THE PETERSON INSTITUTE BY BOB SCHIEFFER AND YOU CAN WALK TO THE ENTIRETY ON OUR VIDEO LIBRARY, A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR LONG. |
| 00:30:25 | C-SPAN. |
| 00:30:26 | ORG, AND LOOK IN THE CORNER FOR THE VIDEO LIBRARY TAT AND IT WOULD BE EASY TO FIND. |
| 00:30:31 | THE PRESIDENT -- FORMER PRESIDENT, JUST FOLLOWING UP ON THE COMMENT FROM THE LAST CALLER. |
| 00:30:40 | NEXT IS A PHONE CALL FROM MERRIMACK, THE HAMPSHIRE. |
| 00:30:44 | JACK, INDEPENDENT. |
| 00:30:45 | WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE U. |
| 00:30:47 | S. NEEDING TO BE A FUTURE-LOOKING COUNTRY. |
| 00:30:49 | CALLER: I THINK IT SHOULD BE. |
| 00:30:51 | I THINK IT IS IRONIC. |
| 00:30:53 | HE CERTAINLY WAS NOT THINKING OF THE FUTURE BACK IN THE 1990'S, WHEN HE WAS RUNNING AROUND MOLESTING A TEENAGE INTERN'S. |
| 00:31:03 | ITHOST: THAT IS ALL HAVE TO SAY ON THE TOPIC? |
| 00:31:06 | CALLER: THAT'S IT. |
| 00:31:07 | HOST: MOLLY, REPUBLICAN LINE. |
| 00:31:10 | CALLER: I KIND OF ENJOYED THE PEOPLE CALLING IN AND SAYING THEY AGREE WITH PRESIDENT CLINTON AND AS USUAL, THE MAJORITY OF DUMBED DOWN CITIZENS IN THIS COUNTRY, DID NOT EVEN LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAID. |
| 00:31:24 | NOT ONLY DID THIS PRESIDENT PUT THROUGH NAFTA, HE GOT RID OF GLASS-STEAGALL WHICH PROTECTED THIS COUNTRY FROM THE VERY THING THAT HAPPENED TO IT. |
| 00:31:37 | IT IS INCREDIBLE TO ME TO LISTEN TO THIS FORMER PRESIDENT -- NO, HE IS JUST DOING WHAT HE DOES. |
| 00:31:43 | HE JUST SAYS WHAT HE SAYS. |
| 00:31:45 | HE JUST DOES WITH THE PROGRESSIVES WANT TO DO IN THIS COUNTRY. |
| 00:31:48 | AND HIDDEN DOWN BELOW IN HEALTH CARE IS CAP-AND-TRADE AND ALL OF THE THINGS THAT ARE CAUSING EUROPE TO GO DOWN THE TUBES AND HE WANTS TO EMBRACE THESE THINGS AND CALL IT OUR FUTURE? |
| 00:32:00 | WHAT HE WANTS TO DO IS IGNORE THE GREAT PAST OF THIS COUNTRY. |
| 00:32:04 | THEY DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW IT WAS. |
| 00:32:07 | THAT IS WHY THEY HAVE THE HEALTH CARE PLAN WHERE EVERYTHING IS COMING OUT EVERY DAY THAT SAYS, YES, THERE IS A DEATH PANEL, YES IT IS GOING TO BE 50% MORE EXPENSIVE THAN OBAMA NEW TWO DAYS BEFORE THEY VOTED ON IT, THEY KNEW IT WAS GOING TO COST A LOT MORE. |
| 00:32:24 | THEY ARE NOT TAKING OUR COUNTRY INTO THE FUTURE. |
| 00:32:28 | THEY WANT TO TURN IT INTO EUROPE, WHICH IS FAILING EVERY DAY, FALLING APART BECAUSE THEY WENT DOWN THIS PATH. |
| 00:32:35 | SOCIALISM HAS FAILED. |
| 00:32:37 | THE EXPERIMENT IS KNOWN. |
| 00:32:39 | HOST: WE WILL JUMP BEEN AT THIS POINT. |
| 00:32:42 | THANK YOU FOR THE CORPORATE NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA, JAN, DEMOCRATS -- THANK YOU FOR THE CALL. |
| 00:32:52 | NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA, JAN. |
| 00:32:54 | CALLER: IT IS INTERESTING, ALL VARIETIES OF WHAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING. |
| 00:32:59 | IT IS LIKE, YOU CANNOT DRIVE LOOKING IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR ALL THE TIME DID YOU HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD. |
| 00:33:06 | AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN AND WHAT THEY ARE DOING. |
| 00:33:11 | THEY ARE AHEAD OF US. |
| 00:33:13 | THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GO BACK. |
| 00:33:15 | THEY WILL GO FORWARD. |
| 00:33:16 | YOU CANNOT CHANGE PROGRESSIVENESS. |
| 00:33:19 | HOST: HOW DO YOU THINK WASHINGTON WOULD RESPOND TO LOOKING LONG TERM ON ISSUES? |
| 00:33:26 | CALLER: YES, AND SORRY -- HOST: THE QUESTION, HERE IN WASHINGTON, MOVING BEYOND THE POLITICS OF THE MOMENT TO LOOK AT LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS, HOW THE LEGISLATORS SELL THE CONCEPT TO THE PUBLIC? |
| 00:33:39 | CALLER: THAT IS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT, I'M AFRAID. |
| 00:33:42 | BUT I THINK A LOT OF US WOULD LIKE TO HEAR NEW OPPORTUNITIES AND NEW JOBS FOR OUR CHILDREN AND FOR THE FUTURE. |
| 00:33:52 | JUST TAKE THE INCIDENT OUT THERE OF THE LOUISIANA COAST. |
| 00:34:00 | EVERYONE IS SAYING DRILLED A LOOK OF THE PROBLEMS THAT ALL OF THE THINGS THAT CREATED THAT THE DRILL FOR OIL. |
| 00:34:06 | LOOK FOR THE MESS IT CAUSES WHEN WE CAN DO AIR, SOLAR. |
| 00:34:13 | ALL THE THINGS WE COULD DO THAT WOULD BE NOT UNHEALTHY. |
| 00:34:17 | HOST: IN FACT, THE OIL SPILL IS THE FRONT PAGE IN MANY PAPERS. |
| 00:34:22 | "THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE. |
| 00:34:24 | " WE ARE NOW LEARNING THAT THE LEAK BOOSTS THE OIL FLOW AND DIGESTING THE NEWS REPORTS THIS MORNING THAT THE CURRENT FLOW OF OIL FROM UNCAP THE WELL IS FIVE TIMES WHAT WAS OR ORIGINALLY PROJECTED. |
| 00:34:37 | THAT CONTINUES TO GROW AS A PROBLEM OFF THE COAST. |
| 00:34:41 | I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE THREE CAPITOL HILL NEWSPAPERS BECAUSE THEY EACH TELL A BIT OF LEGISLATIVE STORY COMING AHEAD ON THE CLIMATE BILL AND LEGISLATION. |
| 00:34:51 | "THAT BILL" TELLS US QUITE A BILL WILL COME BEFORE IMMIGRATION -- "THE HILL. |
| 00:35:01 | " THERE WAS A WALK OFF FROM LINDSEY GRAHAM OF SOUTH CAROLINA, INSISTING THE MOVE -- TO MOVE ON CLIMATE AND ENERGY BEFORE IMMIGRATION. |
| 00:35:12 | THEN WE MOVE ON TO "ROLL CALL" SENATE DEMOCRATS DID IT FOR STRATEGY FOR MOVING AHEAD WITHOUT GOP SUPPORT. |
| 00:35:23 | FINALLY, "POLITICO," DEMOCRAT SEEKS NEW REPUBLICAN ON IMMIGRATION. |
| 00:35:29 | THE EFFORT IS AN ATTEMPT BY MAJORITY LEADER HARRY REID TO GET AROUND THE ROAD BLOCK CAUSED BY LINDSEY GRAHAM. |
| 00:35:37 | THEY ARE LOOKING FOR AN ADVOCATE AND HOPES TO ATTRACT THE REPUBLICANS WANTED TO REPLACE HIM. |
| 00:35:46 | THREE ASPECTS OF A STORY ABOUT HOW BOTH BILLS WILL MOVE FORWARD. |
| 00:35:51 | FROM TWITTER, GARY DUNCAN SAYS -- AND MIAMI, THIS IS NEAL, INDEPENDENT LINE. |
| 00:36:07 | CALLER: FOR THE LAST EIGHT YEARS, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY GOT US IN THE MESS WE ARE IN. |
| 00:36:14 | I LIVE RIGHT HERE IN MIAMI AND IN MIAMI -- THEY HAVE THE MONEY TO PUT IN THIS NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND. |
| 00:36:33 | THEY HAD PROBLEMS AND ALL KINDS OF THINGS BECAUSE -- NO DOCTOR OR LAWYER. |
| 00:36:42 | FOR NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND, FOR PEOPLE TO BE EDUCATED THAT IS THE BIGGEST CROP I HEARD IN MY LIFE. |
| 00:36:52 | MY WIFE WORKED IN THE OFFICE. |
| 00:36:57 | ME AND YOU DON'T THINK THE SAME. |
| 00:36:59 | HOW WILL YOU TAKE A TEST SAYING EVERY CHILD THINKS THE SAME. |
| 00:37:10 | IF HE WOULD NOT HAVE TOOK THE STIMULUS MONEY OUR ECONOMY AND FLORIDA WOULD BE WORSER -- IT SAVES THE POLICE, TEACHERS, FIREFIGHTERS. |
| 00:37:23 | THE REPORTER OF -- I HEAR THIS ALL THE TIME. |
| 00:37:26 | I HAVE BEEN HERE ALL MY LIFE. |
| 00:37:29 | IN FLORIDA I HEARD JEB BUSH WAS NOT POPULAR -- JEB BUSH WAS NOT POPULAR HERE. |
| 00:37:37 | HOST: WEST PALM BEACH, ANTHONY, REPUBLICAN LINE. |
| 00:37:41 | CALLER: GOOD MORNING TO YOU. |
| 00:37:43 | IN REGARDS TO PRESIDENT CLINTON AS A TOMORROW COUNTRY, I THINK IT IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. |
| 00:37:51 | I LIVED IN WASHINGTON, D. |
| 00:37:55 | C., DURING HIS ADMINISTRATION AND HE WAS MOVING FOR ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT WAY BACK IN THE MID 1990'S AND NOW WE HAVE OBAMA, HE IS REALLY A CLONE OF CLINTON. |
| 00:38:06 | BUT I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO COMMENT ON THE CHARLIE CRIST THING. |
| 00:38:11 | WE ARE GLAD CHARLIE CRIST LEFT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. |
| 00:38:14 | HE REALLY WAS A LIBERAL AND BROOKS BROTHERS CLOTHING SO I DON'T THINK HE HAS A CHANCE. |
| 00:38:19 | THEY SAY HE IS A CLOSET HOMOSEXUAL WHO GOT MARRIED TO HIDE HIS SEXUAL PREFERENCE. |
| 00:38:26 | WE ARE REALLY GLAD TO BE RID OF HIM. |
| 00:38:29 | HOST: NEXT IS A CALL FROM HOUSTON, TEXAS, PATTI, DEMOCRAT LINE. |
| 00:38:36 | CALLER: GOOD MORNING, HOW ARE YOU? |
| 00:38:38 | HOST: THANK YOU. |
| 00:38:39 | TALKING ABOUT DEFINITION OF A TOMORROW COUNTRY, WHETHER OR NOT YOU THINK WE ARE ONE AND WE SHOULD BE. |
| 00:38:48 | CALLER: PRESIDENT CLINTON IS VERY, VERY INTELLIGENT. |
| 00:38:53 | LIKE FLORIDA AND ALL OF THEM, I THINK THEY FORGOT HOW BAD IT WAS WHEN PRESIDENT CLINTON TOOK OVER IN THE ONLY THING HE DID, HE STRAIGHTENED UP ALL OF THAT WHEN HE WAS IN THERE BECAUSE IT WAS SO TERRIBLE AND I LIVED THROUGH THAT AND I HAD CHILDREN THAT WAS IN SCHOOL AND EVERYTHING ELSE AND WHEN REAGAN AND THE OTHER BUSH CAME IN IT WAS SO TERRIBLE AND IN EIGHT YEARS HE TURNED IT AROUND SO VERY -- AND THEN EIGHT YEARS WHEN BUSH WAS IN THERE IT JUST WENT DOWN THE TUBES SO THIS GENTLEMAN IS VERY, VERY INTELLIGENT AND IF HE CAN TURN AROUND -- LISTEN TO HIM. |
| 00:39:33 | I MEAN, HE IS SO INTELLIGENT. |
| 00:39:35 | AND THE THING THAT HE SAID, I KNOW HE DON WENT THERE AND TRIED IT AND SEE WHAT ALL OF THE THING BEFORE HE EVEN TALKS. |
| 00:39:46 | AND IF THEY GO ON AND DO THAT OUR COUNTRY WOULD TURN AROUND AGAIN AND THEY KEEP ON SAYING WE ARE IN DEBT AND WE ARE IN DEBT, YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO SPEND SOMETHING. |
| 00:39:56 | IF YOU DON'T SPEND SOMETHING FOR THE CARD YOU WILL NOT HAVE IT. |
| 00:39:59 | HOST: THE FORMER PRESIDENT SAYS THE COUNTRY NEEDS TO DEAL WITH THE DEBT SITUATION DID CALLER: RIGHT. |
| 00:40:05 | HOST: YOU AGREE WITH THAT. |
| 00:40:06 | CALLER: THIS IS WHAT HE IS SAYING -- HOST: BEFORE OUR NEXT CALL, ONE OF THE EVENTS HAPPENING TODAY IN WASHINGTON IS THE FUNERAL SERVICE FOR MORE FREE HEIGHTS, CIVIL RIGHTS LEADER WHO DIED AT THE AGE OF 98 -- DOROTHY HEIGHT, AND YOU CAN SEE A METRO SECTION STORY IN "THE WASHINGTON POST" WITH ADMIRERS, SUPPORTERS, AND COLLEAGUES GOING TO THE FUNERAL. |
| 00:41:26 | THERE WERE 1300 PEOPLE AT THE CELEBRATION OF LIFE INCLUDING REPRESENTATIVE JOHN LEWIS, BILL COSBY, ACTRESS CICELY TYSON, AND MANY OF THE WOMEN WEARING THEIR FINEST TAX. |
| 00:41:39 | FROM OUR WEBSITE THIS MORNING, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, AT A LOOK AT HER FAMOUS TRADEMARK HATS AS SHE SPOKE ABOUT CIVIL RIGHTS THROUGHOUT HER LONG CAREER IN WASHINGTON, D. |
| 00:41:50 | C., AND AROUND THE COUNTRY. |
| 00:41:51 | NEXT IS A TELEPHONE CALL AS WE LOOK TO THE FUTURE ACCORDING TO AN EXHORTATION BY BILL CLINTON, THE U. |
| 00:41:58 | S. MUST BECOME AGAIN A TOMORROW COUNTRY AND DID BACK IN THE FUTURE BUSINESS AND THE NEXT CALL IS FROM CHICAGO, GILLIAN, INDEPENDENT LINE. |
| 00:42:10 | CALLER: TO ME IT ISN'T INCIDENCE OF THE GOVERNMENT PULLING THE WOOL OVER YOUR EYES BECAUSE HOW CAN YOU MOVE TO BEING A COUNTRY OF TOMORROW WHEN THE PROBLEMS OF TODAY STILL EXIST. |
| 00:42:22 | PEOPLE ARE SO BLINDED IN MY OPINION BECAUSE THEY SAY, DEMOCRATS DID THIS, REPUBLICANS DID THAT. |
| 00:42:29 | THEY BOTH WANT THE SAME THING, JUST TAKING DIFFERENT ROUTES TO GET THERE, IN MY OPINION. |
| 00:42:33 | AND I BELIEVE WE CAN'T MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE THINGS ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO STAY THE SAME. |
| 00:42:42 | HOST: ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEMS ARE STILL HERE AND THE ISSUES ARE ALL THE THINGS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT -- THE QUESTION IS WHETHER THE POLITICAL PROCESS CAN DEVISE LONG TERM SOLUTIONS RATHER THAN SHORT-TERM ONES. |
| 00:43:01 | YOU THINK IT IS POSSIBLE TO DO? |
| 00:43:03 | CALLER: I DON'T. |
| 00:43:05 | LIKE THE HEALTH-CARE BILL, A CONSTANTLY HEAR THEM SAY THIS BILL ISN'T PERFECT. |
| 00:43:08 | WHY ARE WE PASSING IT? |
| 00:43:10 | WHY ARE WE ENACTING IT INTO LAW? |
| 00:43:13 | IT IS NOT LIKE IT THEY TOOK ANOTHER MONTH AND WORKED ON IT AND TRY TO GET THINGS WHERE THEY NEED TO BE -- THE COUNTRY IS NOT GOING TO, EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY IS NOT GOING TO BUY -- DIE IF THEY DON'T DO HEALTH CARE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS OR SO. |
| 00:43:25 | I THINK YOU GET THE BEST POSSIBLE BILL YOU CAN GET. |
| 00:43:27 | THAT IS WHAT I MEAN. |
| 00:43:28 | IT WILL JUST BE A BAND-AID FIX AND THE PROBLEMS WILL CONTINUE TO EXIST IN THE FUTURE. |
| 00:43:44 | HOST: DAVE ON THE REPUBLICAN LINE. |
| 00:43:48 | CALLER: HILLARY DID NOT WANT TO BE A LIBERAL AND NOW SHE IS PROGRESSIVE. |
| 00:43:52 | IN BOTH PARTIES -- BIG GOVERNMENT, WHETHER COMMENTED ON THE LEFT OR NOT SEE ON THE RIGHT, ALL THESE BIG GOVERNMENTS. |
| 00:43:59 | I THINK IT IS JUST TRYING TO PREEMPT THE LANGUAGE AND I THINK REALLY WHAT IT IS IS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS GOING TO BE THE PARTY OF YESTERDAY AND THAT IS REALLY WHAT IS GOING ON. |
| 00:44:16 | AND HIS LAST COMMENT WAS ON WAC O, AND HE TRIES TO PULL THE STRINGS AND BLAME ATTORNEY- GENERAL -- NOW HE TRIES TO USE THE PROGRESSIVES LANGUAGE BUT IT IS NOT WORKING. |
| 00:44:29 | HOST: DID YOU WATCH THE SPEECH YESTERDAY? |
| 00:44:32 | CALLER: I WATCHED THE PETERSON THINK, JOHN THE BEST AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE, THEY ARE COVERING THEIR -- CYA, A TYPICAL BIG GOVERNMENT CAUSING THE PROBLEM AGAIN. |
| 00:44:49 | HOST: THE NEXT CALL IS FROM RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA, JOHNNY, DEMOCRATS LINE. |
| 00:45:00 | CALLER: EVERYBODY IS LISTENING BUT A NOBODY PAYING ATTENTION -- SAYING JOBS. |
| 00:45:05 | THAT IS WHAT WE REALLY NEED IN AMERICA. |
| 00:45:08 | WE CAN'T DO IT IF WE DON'T GOT JOBS. |
| 00:45:11 | AND I REALLY APPRECIATE -- HOST: HOW DO YOU THINK WE FIND MORE JOBS IN THIS COUNTRY? |
| 00:45:17 | CALLER: LIKE HE SAID, MANUFACTURING JOBS, WE NEED MANUFACTURING JOBS HERE. |
| 00:45:23 | HOST: HOW DO WE ENCOURAGE MANUFACTURING JOBS TO COME BACK TO THIS COUNTRY? |
| 00:45:27 | CALLER: IF YOU CANNOT GET THEM COMING BACK YOU BUILD YOUR OWN HERE. |
| 00:45:31 | HOST: BUILD YOUR OWN. |
| 00:45:32 | THANK YOU. |
| 00:45:35 | MICHIGAN, RICK, INDEPENDENT LINE. |
| 00:45:41 | CALLER: I HAVE IDEAS FOR EDUCATION AND JOBS. |
| 00:45:45 | TAKE A BIG CITIES LIKE DETROIT. |
| 00:45:47 | THEY'VE GOT CERTAIN SECTIONS OF THE EXPRESSWAYS THAT ARE BELOW GROUND LEVEL. |
| 00:45:51 | AND USUALLY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE EXPRESSWAYS THERE IS USUALLY SOME AREAS, MAYBE THE FIRST TWO BLOCKS, -- MY IDEAS, ALSO WITH BIG BUSINESS IN THE AREA, A LOT OF THEIR HOME OFFICES ARE BECOMING WHITE ELEPHANTS FOR THEM TO HANDLE ANY MORE. |
| 00:46:12 | I SAY, MOVE THE PEOPLE IN THESE AREAS INTO THEIR BUSINESS BUILDINGS AND TURNED INTO SCHOOLING AND HOUSING COMPLEXES, WHERE THEY LIVE AND WHERE YOU HAVE TEACHERS LIVING THERE ALSO AND GIVING KIDS 24 OUR EDUCATION IF THEY NEED IT AND THEN TAKE THE AREAS, THE EXPRESSWAY SECTIONS THAT I TALKED ABOUT, YOU CAN TURN THEM INTO MASS OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTERS. |
| 00:46:51 | WASTE TREATMENT, WATER TREATMENT, TO GENETICS, BIOCHEMISTRY, JUST MASSIVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. |
| 00:47:00 | HOST: THINKING ABOUT SOLUTIONS FROM MICHIGAN, ONE OF THE STATES WITH THE HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN THE UNITED STATES. |
| 00:47:07 | SASHA SENDS US THIS TWEET -- >> IS EMPLOYER -- THE -- NEXT IS KANSAS. |
| 00:47:26 | CALLER: I LIKE IN PRINCIPLE WHAT PRESIDENT CLINTON SAYS BUT I THINK WITH TOO MANY PROGRESSIVES, WHEN THEY SAY THING BEFORE, I THINK WHAT THEY SAY IS JETTISON EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST. |
| 00:47:41 | WHEN YOU LOOK AT EDUCATION -- WOULD LOOK A FORMER EASTERN BLOC COUNTRIES THAT SCORE SO MUCH HIGHER IN SCIENCE AND MATH -- THAT THERE IS SOMETHING NEW HAPPENING. |
| 00:48:15 | . I THINK WE RANK LOWER THAN THE SUM OF THE COUNTRIES THAT WOULD MAKE YOUR HAIR STAND ON END. |
| 00:48:23 | WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT GOING FORWARD, GOING FORWARD. |
| 00:48:27 | IF YOU LOOK BACK, I HAVE SEEN EDUCATORS RECENTLY JUST TALKING ABOUT OUR HIGH WATER MARK IN TERMS OF EDUCATION BACK IN THE 1950'S AND EARLY 1960'S AND EVEN BEFORE THAT IF YOU TRACK BACK TO THE HISTORY, GOING BACK TO THE CIVIL WAR. |
| 00:48:42 | AMERICANS WERE THE MOST LITERATE AND EDUCATED ON THE PLANET AND YET WE ARE NOT GETTING PREPARED. |
| 00:48:47 | I LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN IN KANSAS AND IF WE EVER THOUGHT ABOUT BRINGING MANUFACTURING JOBS -- AND WHAT THEY MEAN OUR LOW-WAGE, I'M ALL FOR MANUFACTURING BUT THE ECONOMY AROUND THE WORLD HAS CHANGED. |
| 00:49:00 | OTHER COUNTRIES EPIC OF THE LOW RATES. |
| 00:49:02 | -- LOW-WAGE. |
| 00:49:03 | WE NEED TO RETOOL OURSELVES. |
| 00:49:06 | WE TALK ABOUT MANUFACTURING. |
| 00:49:07 | WHAT ABOUT SMALL COMPANIES, LEAN COMPANIES, HIGH-TECH COMPANIES, SO WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT THIS -- I AM A CONSERVATIVE AND CONSERVATIVES ARE NOT AGAINST PROGRESS BUT JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY SAYS PROGRESS, IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE FINE. |
| 00:49:25 | IT COULD MEAN YOU ARE BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE. |
| 00:49:27 | I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT THESE THINGS. |
| 00:49:29 | FINE, LET'S TALK ABOUT PROGRESS BUT LET'S REALLY MAKE PROGRESS. |
| 00:49:32 | LET US NOT JUST POSTURE AND MAKE THINGS WORSE, WHICH SEEMS TO ME THAT IS WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW DAYS. |
| 00:49:43 | HOST: HOW DOES THE DISCUSSION LIKE THIS GET STARTED. |
| 00:49:46 | CALLER: YOU GOT ME. |
| 00:49:50 | I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW HOW WE DO IT. |
| 00:49:54 | WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CYCLE WE ARE IN NOW, I AM MYSTIFIED BECAUSE, ONE, I GUESS IT IS POLARIZED. |
| 00:50:03 | TWO, I AM NOT EVEN SURE IF THE LEGISLATORS THAT WE HAVE CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEMS FOR US. |
| 00:50:25 | POLITICIANS ACCORDING TO A POLL DID NOT KNOW AS MUCH AS AVERAGE CITIZENS. |
| 00:50:30 | A LOT OF THEM DID NOT KNOW THAT ONLY CONGRESS HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DECLARE WAR. |
| 00:50:42 | WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? |
| 00:50:44 | I HAVEN'T A CLUE. |
| 00:50:46 | I CAN JUST SAY, I DON'T KNOW. |
| 00:50:58 | I WOULD NOT SAY I'M PESSIMISTIC. |
| 00:51:00 | I'M HAPPILY MARRIED GUY, WE OBSERVED LIFE GOING BY. |
| 00:51:05 | I WISH THE BEST FOR MY KIDS AND I WANT THEM TO SUCCEED. |
| 00:51:11 | BUT GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES, I THINK IT IS GOING TO TAKE SOME KIND OF A MAJOR CRISIS TO FINALLY WAKE US UP. |
| 00:51:19 | GENERALLY AMERICA IS GOOD AT THAT, WHEN A BIG CRISIS HITS WE RUN AROUND LIKE CHICKENS WITH THEIR HEADS CUT OFF AND THEN WE COME TOGETHER. |
| 00:51:28 | AND THEN BEYOND THAT I DRIVE DOWN THE TURN PIKE AND I WOULD SAY THIS IS A GOOD DAY TO FINALLY GET SOLVED HIS DARKLY -- HOST: >> IT IS MALIK -- NEXT IS MALIKA FROM LEXINGTON, KY. |
| 00:51:59 | TELL US ABOUT THE U. |
| 00:52:00 | S. AS A FEATURE COUNTRY. |
| 00:52:02 | CALLER: I THINK WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A FUTURE BUT WE HAVE GOT AWAY FROM THAT. |
| 00:52:26 | I DO NOT KNOW IT WAS PRESIDENT CLINTON -- I WATCHED THE WHOLE PRESENTATION YESTERDAY -- BUT WHAT WAS MENTIONED, WE HAVE TO THINK FORWARD. |
| 00:52:54 | ALSO WITH CLINTON WHEN HE SET DESTRUCTION OF THE -- STRUCTURE OF THE CONGRESS IS ALL MESSED UP. |
| 00:53:03 | WITH ALL THE SPENDING. |
| 00:53:05 | I KNOW IT WAS ONE OF THE AIRCRAFT OR SOMETHING. |
| 00:53:12 | OR THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE SAID THAT WE NO LONGER NEEDED TO BUILD. |
| 00:53:19 | BUT THOSE OF REPRESENTATIVES DID NOT WANT TO GO WITH THAT. |
| 00:53:27 | THEY WANTED TO BUILD THE ENGINES, I GUESS, BECAUSE THEY WERE BUILT IN THEIR STATE. |
| 00:53:35 | WHEN PRESIDENT OBAMA ANNOUNCED A NEW VISION FOR NAFTA, THERE WAS NOISE, NOISE, NOISE. |
| 00:53:44 | OUR REPRESENTATIVE -- I DON'T THINK REALLY KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. |
| 00:53:53 | IT IS JUST ALL TUNNEL VISION. |
| 00:53:57 | HOST: THIS MORNING WE WILL INVITE YOU, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE THIS CONVERSATION, TO FIND C-SPAN'S FACEBOOK PAGE. |
| 00:54:06 | YOU CAN CONTINUE THE DIALOGUE WHETHER OR NOT YOU MADE IT ONTO THE PROGRAM THIS MORNING. |
| 00:54:11 | IT IS FACEBOOK. |
| 00:54:17 | COM/C-SPAN. A COUPLE MORE MINUTES ON THE THOUGHT OF WHETHER OR NOT THE UNITED STATES IS A COUNTRY THAT LOOKS TO THE FUTURE. |
| 00:54:25 | PRESIDENT CLINTON SAID YESTERDAY WE MUST GET BACK TO THE TOMORROW BUSINESS. |
| 00:54:29 | NEXT TO THE CALL FROM OHIO. |
| 00:54:30 | INDEPENDENT LINE. |
| 00:54:53 | CALLER: CREATE MORE JOBS, MANUFACTURING IN THIS COUNTRY DOES NOT WANT TO CREATE MORE JOBS IN THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE OF THE WAGES. |
| 00:55:02 | THEY ARE GOING TO OTHER COUNTRIES, OTHER COUNTRIES BECAUSE IT IS CHEAP. |
| 00:55:16 | ON IMMIGRATION, THEY EXPORTED JOBS OUT OF THIS COUNTRY THAT COULD PLEAD LEAVE THE COUNTRY. |
| 00:55:21 | THEY ALLOWED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. |
| 00:55:24 | I AND NOT AGAINST A PERSON COMING INTO THIS COUNTRY LEGALLY. |
| 00:55:27 | THAT IS FINE. |
| 00:55:30 | BUT OUR GOVERNMENT ALLOWED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO COME INTO THIS COUNTRY TO LOWER THE WAGES ON THE JOB THAT COULD NOT BE EXPORTED OUT OF THIS COUNTRY. |
| 00:55:45 | MANUFACTURING HAS TOTALLY VANISHED. |
| 00:56:01 | IF YOU COULD GET GOOD MANUFACTURING JOBS. |
| 00:56:04 | THE JOBS HE COULD BASE YOUR LIFE ON. |
| 00:56:05 | YOU COULD GO BUY A HOME, GET A 30-YEAR MORTGAGE, AND YOU COULD PLAN ON BEING IN THAT JOB FOR 30 YEARS TO PAY OFF A HOME. |
| 00:56:20 | THE GOVERNMENT -- BIG BUSINESS LOBBY THE GOVERNMENT AND THEY SAID ABOUT SO THEY CAN COME INTO AN AREA, GET A BIG TAX BREAK AND WHEN THE TAX BREAKS ARE OVER, THEY ARE GONE. |
| 00:56:33 | HOST: OUR LAST CALLER ON THIS TOPIC IS FROM ATLANTA, THIS IS GEORGE, REPUBLICAN LINE. |
| 00:56:40 | CALLER: SUSAN, GOOD MORNING. |
| 00:56:53 | I WATCHED THE PETERSON EVEN. |
| 00:56:56 | AMERICA HAS ALL -- ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN AS A FEATURE OR TOMORROW TYPE OF COUNTRY BUT IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE INNOVATION AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY OF OUR PEOPLE. |
| 00:57:06 | HEARING THAT COMING FROM CLINTON YESTERDAY, ON THE ONE HAND HE WANTS TO BUILD A COUNTRY WHERE THERE IS MORE THAN -- MORE AND MORE GOVERNMENT AND MORE PEOPLE WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT AND MORE PEOPLE DEPENDENT ON THE GOVERNMENT IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. |
| 00:57:21 | THAT CAN'T BE A FEATURE COUNTRY. |
| 00:57:38 | HOST: HOW CAN WE AS A NATURE BECOME A FEATURE COUNTRY AGAIN? |
| 00:57:43 | CALLER: PEOPLE BECOMING SELF- SUFFICIENT AND NOT LOOKING TO THE GOVERNMENT FOR SUPPORT, FOR HANDOUTS, FOR BEING TAKEN CARE OF. |
| 00:57:51 | THAT JUST WEAKENS US. |
| 00:57:52 | IT TAKES AWAY OUR CREATIVITY, IT MAKES US WEAKER. |
