young turks we are at the republican national convention up like to tell you
i'm excited but i'm not
begins mapping is have been so far but
almost almost we're getting close
we're done with this great abuses there was some agreement today
jump like sometime
jari good to be
i'm fine uh...
entertained on just having a ball
if i know you tell me that i i i
how are you doing it
well i'm glad i just love the whole syrup and story i love him
all of its many facets
and with new facets rolling off
the press is every ten minutes you just don't know what's going to happen next
you let me ask you out the seventeen-year-old autistic
is it part
is it off limits is about limits is off limits
inist yeah i don't care about that
yet
it has a point public policy ramifications of the abstinence only
obviously that didn't work
and she's was in favor of that are we allowed asker hey have you changed your
mind about that
uh...
you know we're allowed to ask for those those questions but i think that
uh... you know
i don't think it's a our place invade
uh... the kids privacy unique no one asked did anything in look at our uh...
position always been that
uh... people human beings and we should be less judgmental not more gerardo you
know my problem is that if you know if the shoe was on the other foot a cap of
a_b_c_ news missions as well
but if you know who was a little bomb was seventeen-year-old kids you know
what the concerns would be saying see this liberal
attitude permissive et cetera et cetera leads to a what one would hope that
people of sin of serb
civility in civilization would be uh...
who it would uh... be more polite to the *** bags i mean you know i'm not
gonna justice unit disgusted by that but there's always a other stuff
that really is substantial for example
you have we now established that syria syrup and when is a tax raiser she
raised taxes on the big oil companies and it really works well for tourists
excuse me the sales tax when she was mayor of that
you know metropolis in um... an alaska
we also know that she's a big pork ur i mean she was in favor of the
the bridge to nowhere until
it became obvious that it wasn't a big deal
prize she was in favor of all kinds of ports you hired
the who obviously
who is also uh... connected to jack abramoff
to them
you know to uh... to lobby for uh... was still a
alaskan got all these pork-barrel projects there
so it's ok
for her to be
diametrically opposed to john mccain on those issues
theories only one issues accounts of the republican party
and that is abortion
and it is amazing i want to get to a lot of things you mentioned let me start
with
the fact that i am amazed at what sila alaska at a lobbyist
what they do it at that time of sixty-five matured into a lobbyist
well you know and while they took back to the nutrient another another part of
uh...
out as this incredible story which is that
palance husband
and
to certain inward and we don't know whether she was uh... actually
sympathize but
her husband was a member of the year
alaskan independence party i paid
which is in favor of alaska succeeding from the seceding from the union and the
reason why that's true
white white and movement existence because so much of a last resort
revenues
go to the u_s_ go to the rest of us in texas and that's why
alaska has traditionally been pork central because there's a kind of
argument that
we're sending you so much you gotta send us some back aren't so that's why
ume you might be
this is the stuff of high comedy i'm sure
the towns of eighty seven people probably have lobbyists
up their yet because you can't get anything ice live in new york i think my
bald head more than sixty five hundred people on super fat right and if you
don't have a lot of hits
but i see why you think that's a very good explanation why they do so let
unite with todd a job but also last date yesterday about this uh... taxing the
oil companies but i what i understand a little bit better what exactly did mean
for her to raise taxes on the oil companies was it
the revenue split the date yet for drilling rights for was a simply just a
flat-out tax on them hate wounded
to his tax on profits i think
level info profit saturday night so is and i just is that the same thing as a
while most of the windfall profit tax sounds like it
among the really
and and how much did she raise them vp recollection i idon't know now of the
argument is made of the taxes were unduly low because of the oil companies
um... extraordinary influence in in alaska
as opposed to the oil companies extraordinary influence in the rest of
the contract with america likely visit you know but this dvd
the combination of all these things
i don't think this this nomination is in any danger in like that
and justice
think that you know we're all in danger just falling off a receipts laughing at
this
that's the thing here
let's get a little broad or johnnie joe klein of time
the john mccain bet this moment adult all or does he seem to be one of the
rashes decisions made by a presidential candidate in my memory
well i think that you can
you can make the argument i'm going to make the argument this week in my column
the vice presidency
is the first major decision and the candidates
and a real indication of what
they're going to be like as president
we have a very conservative
candidate and we have a very radical candidate the conservative can it's name
is brocco obama
went through a very orderly process
he made
you know um... very mainstream picked
it's been the market his candidacy throughout that he hasn't taken any real
chances
he's a hasn't gone up against the party in any major way and you know he may be
conservative almost to a fault on the other hand
john mccain
you know offers a screw you pick
he'd look at this
last he couldn't get joe lieberman
and um...
and tom ridge and tom ridge
and uh... he didn't want
mit romney you can imagine them up in sedona cooking is states and modern
write-in votes
i want to get that probably guy who else is our work
and and they decided no one asked week why their own timeline
they called her and sunday at the alaska state fair issue isn't it going on now
on thursday and uh... you he made his decision
right then and they are now do you really want to have a president who
makes major decisions that print rolling
uh... i don't know i mean my beef with mccain
has always been more his foreign policy than anything else because
i'd you know i think that this is a guy
who never saw awarded in life
any makes those decisions you know very seat of the pants and very snapped
you know it reminds me in a couple waves of the current president
uh... there's been reports that he makes decisions based on the last person in
the room whatever
last verse in the room says
as nearly identical to the reports or get out of george bush
he makes decisions by his gut
checking the facts as well as he showed sometimes last person the room is god
uh... and well that's even scarier soup
you know what action that would go off of that now sheet that having them pose
for her story about how she was at this hour believe god
and talk about how iraq was a mission from god but
you know i'm gonna let that go
from my point of view because whenever they're in church there was some about
how god is responsible for everything
you know she ask for prayers for her liner no i don't know why couldn't the
true i you know but i think i have trouble with the whole mission from god
formulation uh... you know the whole god in our god is bigger than your god
god is on our side can
no one very problematic but i'm so used to it
it's speculate every time these i think it's a dangerous thing to do so
uniting ted
that would probably reached the point history of civilization
when we can say that those sorts of formulations about god's intentions
uh... are
facebook high-tech couldn't agree more with you death leads me to her pastor
though because her past you know obviously bribe obama had enormous
faster proms surpass our
uh... pentecostal and rightly so by the way and you know
reverend wright was not one of my favorite americans right
but on for more troubled with a cover pills besser between one of the things
he said there was
uh... jesus was in a war mode and we need to be like jesus in a war mode and
that uh... he's past you to die for him soul if you need to you need to die for
jesus
and i read and i think i'm substitute all offer jesus and it's a something
that could've been written by our models one year well you know and and and
the fact is that
the koran
what distinguishes the peron from the new testament is that
is that mohammed didn't pick up the sword
um... jesus never did i mean for pastors say jesus is a more mode
is you know
you know like uh... a pastor saying jesus is in and is uh...
in unnatural sex motor something like that it's just
it it you know the uh... the this is clearly someone who never actually read
the new testament
no but that's because along with the theme of the casa perversion of the
bible by the republicans thereof
hearsay vgs ask you to get rich no i didn't affecting their debts that you
can ask for that
he's is wide use as well as you give away all your money in a row is is said
that it's easier for
today that it's easier for a camel to go through and the eye of a needle in for a
rich man to enter heaven
so is this passers i mean issue for sarah pale and we think
whether scope if if they do issues out there
for poor syrup ellen that i i i just don't
i don't know which ones are gonna rise to the surface as the really
objectionable wins
it just seems to me that
proper reaction to this
is for us to be insulted by
it may turn out the cerebellum is
is an excellent politician
and a real states woman whom sooner or later or later later
become someone worthy of the presidency or the vice president
but it is crystal clear that she is not worthy of it now
uh... that she has absolutely no foreign policy national security experience
and
you know and that she was arrived at
in the most hasty in unprepared manner
but let me know johnny joe klein of of time let me ask about foreign policy
they're hiding or at this point given the many news conferences that all day
and talk
allowed her to talk to the press
obviously there cramming for the exam that's about the compound foreign policy
uh... one is that in pick and wave cheating a receptive funny way of
putting it but uh... either when they picked her she was ready or she wasn't
mhm he seems like they're if they're kinda loading the deck in a sense she
wasn't ready but now the cramming your full of
information i don't think it's gonna work because i don't think you can just
learn for policy predates
well i i i agree with that that uh...
you know it might help us this john mccain crandall little bit
and and uh...
the news of you know i got into trouble
in june for asking who the actual leader of iran was unseated done
insisting that it was uh... mouth without uh... popovich underworld
you know has domestic policy responsibilities were no foreign policy
or nuclear responsibilities
and he got really angry at me for around
reminding them of that
at did he get it over a decade ago mania
uh... mom and i a return dive
calmed
no i mean it was a reason why he was doing that
did you know where we live in why he kept on mention happened in a job was to
scare the hell out of mind
jewish parents
went on because i have been injured as the world's most famous anti
semi-detached point
you know powerless one but it won't be someone unless
so uh...
went can the pressed demand to see from alex presidential pig
or how long can they hired her and what were they ever do that letter out to the
public
willie can hire her firm
listen he's hiding himself at this point
you know i don't know what he saw the interview that *** that he gave time
magazine
in this week's issue i did yeah but it was astonishing
what's what's wrong with that what's happening you know he's going to take
off you know they be you know
decided he had asked the thought we were his friends
community thought that he had us in his back pocket
and i will
admit to
a certain amount of real affection for john mccain
i'm not gonna lay down for anybody
and uh...
and if he says things that are palpably untrue
war
conflict right
victory in iraq
whatever that means
or that democrats are in favor of surrender in iraq
two from
well then i had a column one
and so
the acid it gives you a question is there going to try and hide her
as much as possible the prolly roller out
with uh... the most
puff ball sort of uh... interviews
i don't know why the name larry king suddenly comes with a perfect uh...
but i'm sure you mean nothing by
no nothing
but uh... but i i i you know i think that they'll be very selective
and uh... and very careful i'd member with dan quayle
uh... they threw me into the in in into the fire immediately in nineteen eighty
eight and he had his terrible embarrassing press conference
where he couldn't explain how or why he got his national guard
uh... service exemption from
from vietnam war
they haven't done that with helen they learn that lesson but i remember
afterwards
dan quayle was sent to camp pain in places like
casper wyoming
i'm short of that
syrupy did not get a secret surveillance anywhere in near civilization anytime
soon
i think she wasn't takes a look at them on the first for the second day she's
like oh it's great to be in a different states
near like
but they felt of course your
campaigning for vice president
appear to be investment so looked out there's a lot of uh...
stp news out there and they have now got this
stockmeyer not this time whatever they call a political stock market
saying that uh... she has about thirty percent chance of being withdrawn
that kind of talk uh... crazy talk or is it any chance at all
but they go
now while no we don't know yet a pullback return of the full story
uh...
you know we don't know how mean more embarrassments there are down the road
high it would be very very much and like john mccain a full term
i mean he made the choice is going to be sticking with it
claims that she was fully vetted
what that we know that's not true at source it's not true
uh...
so i you know
i would uh...
i would take the uh... the other side of that wage i would too because i think
uh... withdrawing her
how bad she is with stronger would make it worse it would be an admission i
screwed up i made the wrong call
i don't think presidential candidate disdain eighteen say that
i think it would be devastating followed him into the campaign
behind her and *** rumors that username is cabinet
uh... eked out to compensate for alright kaelin might not be experience for them
to bring in rudy guiliani enjoy lieberman at bromley a-one have you
heard anything along those lines into if he does do that would not be and
very possibly significant mistake his annual provide eighteen different
targets arrived at twelve thirteen different artists i don't know i think
that
a selective revelation of your room
uh... of your
uh... cabinet my nephew a bad idea
mhm um...
although
the idea of a cabinet with both rudy guiliani and relieve a minute
cindy would send the obnoxious things needle way off the charts
in a difficult to hold wants them
what one of the guiliani here when he was supposed to speak tonight
uh... were received
uh... and then on undisclosed location i think that they had to throw uh...
they had a from president bush back in two nine
um... so maybe you'll come back on wednesday or thursday yahoo knows i mean
maybe it was set up a little and i think that he's the kind of
they may have also called for a
you know after it the uh... the sweetness and light attempt
you know serving something larger than yourself
feeling of the
convention that they didn't want to bring out the attack dogs
quite sizzling alright rudy was definitely an attack and he didn't want
to say it's a veteran or a little bit later
as a transition now
so uh... which artichoke lot of time finally let's they get a sense of the
race here you know of the latest tracking poll has alvar mop fifty two
forty two that and think that scalp there are a lot of other polls that have
a much closer
now it's the polls that came in last days a_b_c_ c_b_s_
a whole bunch of them
have obama by about eight or nine points
and i think that that reflects very strong speech he gave last week
it uh... and it will go away after mccain gives a very strong speech this
week
you know i think you have to be prepared for that he's going to talk about being
at the age of p_o_w_
he's gonna talk about
courage in the country and never surrender and how he was right about
iraq and so on and so forth
i think that'll have an impact on the race you know uh...
i'll start to really pay attention to the polls after we've had a debater to
you
that's where this thing is going to decide
and at this convention they're going to do the p_o_w_ mccain story of course
they're gonna do the attacking with julie and a little bit later
is that i know that the democrats get us all the time easily for the republican
***
positive message that the republicans have like here's what we stand fourteen
is a good hope for a moment
well it's not gonna be four more years but i think that
i can tell you that so now they're and they're going to make their case on you
know strengths and um... and lower taxes
then that's it
we're going to say well yeah you know that that stuff is
they'll use that stuff until it stops working and it has been working since
ronald reagan
now i cannot believe the rig in the end of the road on those sorts of
um... because
the over
utilization of the u_s_ military has gotten us into a real people who sings
and uh... you know for the first time in a long time we're in a position now
where we're gonna have to really start spending money
domestically on infrastructure alternative you know who want to things
like that
uh... if we want to stay keeping pace with the rest of the
you know when i i folded some of them brought all that stuff a little before
in two thousand selection i saw a couple pulls a set
uh... that people would rather have their taxes raised if it meant you could
solve health insurance or whatever it might be i think those kinda tired
targeted tag texans pieces of where we're going to go and i also think that
mail bombings planned of having the and infrastructure bank
where you have these
five commissioners
independent judgments on each into infrastructure projects who doesn't get
all four ca
there's a good one
that is a good one as a solid one
so all will see out there to divulge frankly i'm still surprised us races
even this close because he had the demographics against john mccain you get
the eight years of bush against john mccain
uh... and the democratic demographics and john mccain's favor because
traditionally more older people have voted than younger people
we'll see
i said i think that's the one of those who thinks that the younger p
people going to come out this year
and that these polls are closer than the reality
but uh...
get other demographics my main thing is hispanic wrote
george bush got forty percent hispanic vote and
barely one they're down to about twenty five cent hispanic vote everything else
being equal which it isn't they're more like more as a bird dead democrats
everything else being equal it would seem to be with stand no chance losing
that largest chunk of hispanic with the hispanic vote i think is less than ten
percent of the electorate you it's not all that much
blacks to repeal the demographic group that over participate
you know more agreed a percentage of the of
lack of african americans vote than any other ethnic group
you know i think that you have
you can't
you you can't
uh... forget about the guys rates you can forget about the fact that his name
is brocco varma
how and what was is the
you know i keep coming i think you're right because i look at all these
different things and i think
the one thing that seems to believe impediment for bravo obama is his the
res slash main i think the name is almost as a board also be experiencing
you really
four years in the united states senate
is a pretty slim resum
four years ago
he was in the illinois state
uh... that is you know that's asking a lot of people man and i think that
therefore
when he stands next to john mccain
he is a plausible president i think that that's what people are waiting for
you know it so far he's evista recently demonstrated dad knowledge
at least equally john mccain's on the campaign trail we'll see how they do in
the debates and then a weak and of course might have ah...
ruined that argument from subletting sarah pale in who clearly has a lot less
experienced and you know i've seen 'em all over t_v_ all the serbian status can
come up with one foreign policy experience a decision she's ad
and uh... and that does not bode well for them to put your client of time
thank you so much for joining salud moshe later so i will be right back on
the young turks
