[0:11]" Almost up exactly one year ago today. During a presidential debate in Durham New Hampshire. I said that if I were running for president. I'd be supporting John McKay. I'm not running for president. And I do support John McCain. You."
[0:43]" Every every four years we're told. That this presidential election is the most important in our lifetime."
[0:50]" This year. With what's at stake. 2000 and -- is the most important election in our lifetime. And we better get right. This already has spent the longest. Presidential campaign in history. And sometimes to me it felt even longer. The American people realize this election represents a turning point. It's -- decision. To follow one path. Or the other. We the people the citizens of the United States get to decide. Our next president. Not the left wing media not Hollywood celebrities. Not anyone else but the people of America I. That's right USA. Those Americans who still feel -- in this election. I'd like to suggest one way to think about this. To help make your choice in 2000 and I think about it this way. You're hiring someone to do a job. An important job a job that relates to the safety. Of yourself and your family. Imagine that you have to job applications in your hand. With the name in the party affiliation is blocked out. They're both. Good and patriotic men. With very different life experiences. That have led them to this moment of shared history. You've got to make this decision. You've got to make it right. I you have to desire. You got to decide who am I going to hire. On the one hand you've got a man who's dedicated his life to the service of the United States. He's been tested time and again by crisis. He has asked. Every test. Even as adversaries acknowledge. Democrats Republicans everyone acknowledges that John McCain is a true American hero."
[3:29]" I."
[3:38]" as we all do. But he has sacrificed for as few true. As a young man he joined the military. And being get top gun kinda guy. He became a fighter pilot. He was on a mission over Hanoi when this plane was shot down. He was tortured. In a POW camp. But he refused his captors all fervor of early release. Because this is a man who believes in serving a cause greater than self interest and that cost is the United States of America. America. I. He has proved his commitment -- his blood. He came home a national hero. He had earned a life of peace and quiet. But he was called the public service again. Running for congress and then the United States senate. As a proud foot soldier in the Reagan revolution. Its principal independence never wavered. He stood up to special interest he fought for fiscal discipline and ethics reform and a strong national defense. That's the one source that's the one man. On the other hand you have arrest today. From the gifted man -- ivy league education. He worked as a community. Organizer."
[5:35]" You are. --"
[5:48]" Isn't the first problem on the resident. He worked as a community. Organized. He immersed himself. In Chicago machine politics."
[6:06]" Many ran for many ran for the state legislature. And he got elected."
[6:12]" And nearly 130 times. He couldn't make a decision. It couldn't figure out whether to vote yes. Or no."
[6:23]" It was -- love. Okay. And."
[6:43]" He voted pleasant to."
[6:51]" I don't know about his vote president. When I was mayor of New York City. Sound -- didn't have this vote president. When she was mayor or governor."
[7:04]" Okay."
[7:09]" Doesn't work in an executive job. For president of the United States it's not good enough to be president."
[7:27]" And a few years later. He ran for the US senate. He spent most of his time. As a celebrity senator. No leadership. No legislation to really speak got. His rise is remarkable in its own right. It's the kind of thing that can happen only in America."
[8:13]" But he's never hit but he's never run a city he's never run a state he's never run a business he's never run a military unit. He's never had to lead people in the crisis."
[8:25]" And."
[8:41]" Americans candidate for president of the United States and at least the last 100 years."
[8:54]" A statement of fact. Barack Obama has never led anything nothing not. -- It's always -- this election comes down to substance over style John McCain has been tested Barack Obama has not. Tough times require strong leadership. And this is no time for on the job training."
[9:42]" I. I."
[9:53]" We -- Joe Biden. "
[10:03]" When he said that. Until the flip flopped and changed his position. And -- being president means being able to answer that call at 3 in the morning."
[10:19]" That's the one time we agree -- Hillary."
[10:31]" Right."
[10:33]" Well no one can look at John McCain. And say that he's not ready to be commander in chief he is he's ready. And we can trust him. To deal with anything anything that nature throws away anything that terrorists -- it was this man has been tested all over and over again. And we all be safe in his hands and our children will be save in his hands and our country. Will be safe in the hands of John --"
[11:04]" I."
[11:24]" Are you saw there a long time ago. If you don't have the facts. We got a chance and so our opponents want to re frame the debate. They would have you believe that this election is about change. Versus more of the same. But that's really up false choice. Because there's. Britain changed and bad change."
[11:52]" Change is not a destination. Just as hope. Is not a strategy. We'll bring about. The change that will create jobs and prosperity. Let's talk briefly about specifics. John McCain will lower taxes so our economy can grow well."
