	Thanks for watching. Please subscribe.
	Yes, I am.
	I'm going to go through the door. See you there.
	I'm going to go through the door. See you there.
	You're listening to the Hour of the Time. I'm William Cooper. Well, as you can probably
	hear, folks, I've got a little touch of bronchitis tonight, but it's not going to stop anything.
	You're going to hear, in just a couple of moments, one of the greatest socialist programs that has ever been proposed in American history.
	If you think Franklin Delano Roosevelt was bad, when you hear William Jefferson Clinton In last night's State of the Union message to Congress, I've got to tell you that the American people have sunk to an all-time low.
	All of the polls and reflections from across the nation today tell us that people just suck this up.
	And ate it like sopping up gravy with bread.
	They have no idea what all this means for their future, if it's actually implemented.
	In fact, they don't even know how far down the tubes they are right now.
	You might want to be thinking during this broadcast, when you hear what the President is going to say, You might want to get out your copy of the Constitution and see if you can find any, anything in the Constitution which allows even one of these programs to be implemented within any of the several Union states.
	I guarantee you, you will not find any.
	The only way that any of these can be implemented is through Congress's power to legislate in all cases whatsoever.
	Within the ten-mile square district of Columbia, known as Washington, D.C., territories, insular possessions, dockyards, forks, naval bases, etc., and needful buildings where the land has been purchased from a state and jurisdiction has been granted to the federal government by vote of the legislature and nowhere else.
	If you have any doubts as to where we are headed, ladies and gentlemen, this should clear your mind very quickly.
	That is, if you have a mind.
	We are headed into full-blown Socialism.
	Remember, V. I. Lennon said, Democracy is indispensable to Socialism.
	Karl Marx said, Democracy is the road to Socialism.
	And both said, The goal of Socialism is Communism.
	We are headed into full-blown Socialism, with the ultimate goal, as always, Communism.
	Ladies and gentlemen, pay close attention.
	Once again, once again, he mentions the New Dawn.
	Please listen carefully.
	You may want to take notes.
	It's very important that you hear every word of this, for he's talking about our future.
	And the great deception, Pat Robertson, on the 700 Club, said as far as he's concerned, it's all over.
	The Senate should forget about an impeachment trial, just go on about their business.
	Remember I told you about him a long time ago.
	Pat Robertson is a New World Order proponent.
	He's not against it as he pretends.
	Listen very carefully, ladies and gentlemen, to the betrayal of America.
	This is the truth, oh yeah, and from those plans, it's CNN Square.
	It's coming from a field that ain't exactly real or it's a field that ain't exactly fair.
	From the war against the soil, from the fire of a giant day, from the fire of a horrible night, from many ashes of decay,
	Democracy will come alive, today you can say.
	Democracy will come alive, today you can say.
	From the houses of sores and cracking walls, from the visionary blood in alcohol,
	From the dangling account of the terminal of the barrel of a capsule,
	In the understanding of all, it's covered in the silence of the dark of the day,
	From the brain of old battle-hardened Michael Chevalier, the muscles you cut,
	today you can say.
	From the house of the hollowed out state, the hole in the chasers where we live,
	From the hollowed out little bitches strangling down every kid in town,
	The cruelest citizen who will ever move, From the west of the employment where the women of the
	earth pray, For the faith of God will get us here and then far away,
	Democracy will come alive, today you have faith.
	Stay long, stay long, through the night in the ship of the sea,
	To the shores of need and the reef of greed, to the tomorrow you'll meet.
	Stay long, stay long, stay long, stay long.
	This covenant is to America, the creator of the man and the woman.
	It's here they cut the ranges and machinery for change.
	It's here they've got to feel each other.
	It's here the family is broken and it's here the lonely stay.
	That's the heart of what the poster may or may not convey.

	Thank you.
	Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
	Members of Congress, I have the high privilege and the distinct honor of presenting to you
	the President of the United States.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
	Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, members of Congress, honored guests, my fellow Americans.
	Thank you.
	Tonight I have the honor of reporting to you on the State of the Union.
	Let me begin by saluting the new Speaker of the House and thanking him, especially tonight for extending an invitation to two guests sitting in the gallery with Mrs. Hester, Lynn Gibson and Wenling Chestnut, are the widow of the two brave Capitol Hill police officers
	who gave their lives to defend freedom.
	And the people of the United States.
	Thank you.
	Mr. Speaker.
	As you're swearing in, you ask us all to work together in the spirit of civility and bipartisanship.
	Mr. Speaker, let's do exactly that.
	Tonight I stand before you to report that America has created the longest
	peacetime economic expansion in our history.
	With nearly 18 million new jobs, Wages rising at more than twice the rate of inflation, the highest homeownership in history, the smallest welfare rolls in 30 years, and the lowest peacetime unemployment since 1957.
	57.
	For the first time in three decades, the budget is balanced.
	From a deficit of $290 billion in 1992, we had a surplus of $70 billion last year,
	and now we are on course for budget surpluses for the next 25 years.
	Thank you.
	Thanks to the pioneering leadership of all of you, we have the lowest violent crime rate in a quarter century and the cleanest environment in a quarter century.
	America is a strong force for peace, from Northern Ireland to Bosnia to the Middle East.
	Thanks to the leadership of Vice President Gore, we have a government for the information age.
	Once again, a government that is a progressive instrument of the common good.
	Booted in our oldest values of opportunity, responsibility, and community.
	Devoted to fiscal responsibility.
	Determined to give our people the tools they need to make the most of their own lives in the 21st century.
	A 21st century government for 21st century America.
	My fellow Americans, I stand before you tonight to report that the state of our union is strong.
	Now, America is working again.
	The promise of our future is limitless.
	But we cannot realize that promise if we allow the hum of our prosperity to lull us into complacency.
	How we fare as a nation far into the 21st century depends upon what we do as a nation today.
	So with our budget surplus growing, our economy expanding, our confidence rising, now is the moment for this generation to meet our historic responsibility to the 21st century.
	Our fiscal discipline gives us an unsurpassed opportunity to address a remarkable new challenge, the aging of America.
	With the number of elderly Americans set to double by 2030, The baby boom will become a senior boom.
	so far and above all we must say social security for the 21st.
	century. Early in this century being old meant being poor.
	you.
	When President Roosevelt created Social Security, thousands wrote to thank him for eliminating what one woman called the stark terror of penniless, helpless old age.
	Even today, without Social Security, half our nation's elderly would be forced into poverty.
	Today, Social Security is strong.
	But by 2013, payroll taxes will no longer be sufficient to cover monthly payments.
	By 2032, the trust fund will be exhausted, and Social Security will be unable to pay the full benefits older Americans have been promised.
	The best way to keep Social Security a rock-solid guarantee is not to make drastic cuts in benefits, Not to raise payroll tax rates.
	Not to drain resources from Social Security in the name of saving it.
	Instead, I propose that we make the historic decision to invest the surplus to save Social
	Security.
	Specifically, I propose that we commit 60% of the budget surplus for the next 15 years
	to Social Security.
	Investing a small portion in the private sector just as any private or state government pension would do.
	This will earn a higher return and keep Social Security sound for 55 years.
	But we must aim higher.
	We should put Social Security on a sound footing for the next 75 years.
	we should reduce poverty among elderly women who are nearly twice as likely to be poor as our other seniors.
	And we should eliminate the limits on what seniors on Social Security can earn.
	Now, these changes will require difficult but fully achievable choices over and above the dedication of the Circle.
	They must be made on a bipartisan basis.
	They should be made this year.
	So let me say to you tonight, I reach out my hand to all of you in both houses, in both parties, and ask that we join together in saying to the American
	people, we will save Social Security now.
	Applause Last year we wisely reserved all the surplus until we knew
	what it would take to save Social Security.
	Again I say, we shouldn't spend any of it, not any of it, until after Social Security is truly saved.
	First things first.
	Second, once we have safe Social Security, we must fulfill our obligation to save and improve Medicare.
	Already we have extended the life of the Medicare Trust Fund by ten years, but we should extend it for at least another decade.
	Tonight, I propose that we use one out of every six dollars in the surplus for the next 15 years to guarantee the soundness of Medicare until the year 2020.
	But again, we should aim higher.
	again, but again we should aim higher. We must be willing to work in a bipartisan way
	and look at new ideas including the upcoming report of the bipartisan Medicare Commission.
	If we work together, we can secure Medicaid for the Medicare for the next two decades
	and cover the greatest growing need of seniors, affordable prescription drugs.
	Third, we must help all Americans from their first day on the job to save, to invest, to
	create wealth.
	Oh.
	From its beginning, Americans have supplemented Social Security with private pensions and savings.
	Yet today, millions of people retire with little to live on other than Social Security.
	Americans living longer than ever Simply must save more than ever.
	Therefore, in addition to saving Social Security and Medicare, I propose a new pension initiative for retirement security in the 21st century.
	I propose that we use a little over 11% of the surplus to establish universal savings accounts, USA accounts, to give all Americans the means to save.
	With these new accounts, Americans can invest as they choose and receive funds to match a portion of their savings with extra help for those least able to save.
	USA Accounts will help all Americans to share in our nation's wealth and to enjoy a more secure retirement.
	I ask you to support them.
	Fourth, we must invest in long-term care.
	there.
	I propose... I propose a tax credit of $1,000 for the aged, ailing, or disabled, and the families who care for them.
	Long-term care will become a bigger and bigger challenge with the aging of America and we must do more to help our
	families deal with it.
	I was born in 1946, the first year of the baby boom.
	I can tell you that one of the greatest concerns of our generation is our absolute determination not to let our growing old place an intolerable burden on our children and their ability to raise our grandchildren.
	Our economic success and our fiscal discipline Now give us an opportunity to lift that burden from their
	shoulders and we should take it.
	Saving Social Security, Medicare, creating USA accounts, this is the right way to use the surplus.
	If we do so, if we do so, we will still have resources.
	To meet critical needs in education and defense.
	And I want to point out that this proposal is fiscally sound.
	Listen to this.
	If we set aside 60% of the surplus for Social Security and 16% for Medicare, over the next 15 years, that saving will achieve the lowest level of publicly held debt Since right before World War I in 1917.
	in 1917. So with these four measures, saving Social Security, supporting the economy, and
	supporting the economy, we can achieve a better future for all. Thank you.
	Strengthening Medicare.
	Establishing the USA Account.
	Supporting long-term care.
	We can begin to meet our generation's historic responsibility to establish true security for 21st century seniors.
	Now, there are more children from more diverse backgrounds in our public schools than at any time in our history.
	Their education must provide the knowledge, And nurture the creativity that will allow our entire nation to thrive in the new economy.
	Today we can say something we couldn't say six years ago.
	With tax credits and more affordable student loans.
	With more work-study grants and more Pell grants.
	With education IRAs and the new Hope Scholarship tax cut that more than five million Americans will receive this year.
	We have finally opened the doors of college to all Americans.
	With our support, nearly every state has set higher academic standards for public school,
	and a voluntary national test is being developed to measure the progress of our students.
	Bye.
	With over $1 billion in discounts available this year, we are well on our way to our goal of connecting every classroom and library to the Internet.
	Last fall, you passed our proposal.
	To start hiring 100,000 new teachers to reduce class size in the early grades.
	now I ask you to finish the job.
	You know.
	I'm.
	Our children are doing better.
	SAT scores are up, math scores have risen in nearly all grades, but there's a problem.
	While our 4th graders outperform their peers in other countries in math and science, our 8th graders are around average, and our 12th graders right near the bottom.
	We must do better.
	Now, each year, the national government invests more than $15 billion in our public schools.
	I believe we must change the way we invest that money to support what works and to stop supporting what does not
	work.
	Later this year I will send to Congress a plan that for the first time holds states and school districts accountable
	for progress and rewards them for results.
	for results.
	My Education Accountability Act will require every school district receiving federal help to take the following five steps.
	First, all schools must end social promotion.
	Now, no child, no child should graduate from high school with a diploma he or she can't read.
	We do our children no favors when we allow them to pass from grade to grade without mastering the material.
	But we can't just hold students back because the system fails them.
	so my balance budget triples the funding for summer school and after school programs to keep a million children
	learning.
	If you doubt this will work, just look at Chicago, which ended social promotion and made summer school mandatory for
	those who don't master the basics.
	Math and reading scores are up three years running with some of the biggest gains in some of the poorest neighborhoods.
	It will work and we should do it.
	Second, all states and school districts must turn around their worst performing
	schools or shut them down.
	That's the policy established in North Carolina by Governor Jim Hunt.
	North Carolina made the biggest gains in test scores in the nation last year.
	Our budget includes $200 million to help states turn around their own failing schools.
	Third, all states and school districts must be held responsible for the quality of their teachers.
	The great majority of our teachers do a fine job, but in too many schools, teachers don't have college majors or even minors in the subjects they teach.
	New teachers should be required to pass performance exams and all teachers should know the subjects
	they're teaching.
	This year's balanced budget contains resources to help them reach higher standards.
	And to attract talented young teachers to the toughest assignments, I recommend a six-fold increase in our program for college scholarships for students who commit to teach in the inner cities and isolated rural areas and in Indian communities.
	Let us bring excellence to every part of America.
	Fourth, we must empower parents with more information and more choices.
	In too many communities, it's easier to get information on the quality of local restaurants than on the quality of the local schools.
	Every school district should issue report cards on every school.
	and parents should be given more choices in selecting their public schools.
	When I became president, there was just one independent public charter school in all America.
	With our support, on a bipartisan basis, today there are 1,100.
	My budget assures that early in the next century there will be 3,000.
	Fifth, to assure that our classrooms are truly places of learning.
	And to respond to what teachers have been asking us to do for years, we should say that all states and school districts must both adopt and implement sensible discipline policy.
	Now, let's do one more thing for our children.
	Today, too many schools are so old they're falling apart.
	Our so overcrowded students are learning in trailers.
	Last fall, Congress missed the opportunity to change that.
	This year, with 53 million children in our schools, Congress must not miss that opportunity again.
	I ask you to help our communities build our modernized 5,000 schools.
	Applause If we do these things, end social promotion, turn around
	failing schools, build modern ones, support qualified teachers, promote innovation, competition and discipline,
	then we will begin to meet our generation's historic responsibility to create 21st century schools.
	Applause We also have to do more to support the millions of parents who give their all every day at home and at work.
	The most basic tool of all is a decent income.
	So let's raise the minimum wage by a dollar an hour over the next two years.
	And let's make sure that women and men get equal pay for equal work by strengthening enforcement of the Equal Pay
	Law.
	Thank you.
	That was encouraging, you know.
	There was more balance on the seesaw.
	I like that.
	Let's give him a hand.
	Give him that drink.
	Working parents also need quality child care.
	So, again this year, I asked Congress to support our plan for tax credits and subsidies for working families, for improved safety and quality, for expanded after-school programs.
	And our plan also includes a new tax credit for stay-at-home parents, too.
	They need support as well.
	never have to worry about choosing between their children and their work.
	Now, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the very first bill I signed into law, has now, since 1993, helped millions and millions of Americans to care for a newborn baby or an ailing relative without risking their jobs.
	I think it's time, with all the evidence that it has been so little burdensome to employers, to extend family leave to 10 million more Americans working for smaller companies.
	and I hope you will support it.
	Finally, on the matter of work, parents should never have to face discrimination in the workplace.
	So I want to ask Congress to prohibit companies from refusing to hire or promote workers simply because they have children.
	That is not right.
	Thank you.
	America's families deserve the world's best medical care.
	Thanks to bipartisan federal support for medical research, we are now on the verge of new treatments to prevent or delay diseases from Parkinson's to Alzheimer's to arthritis to cancer.
	But as we continue our advances in medical science, we can't let our medical system lag behind.
	Managed care has literally transformed medicine in America.
	Driving down cost, but threatening to drive down quality as well.
	I think we ought to say to every American, you should have the right to know all your medical options, not just the cheapest.
	If you need a specialist, you should have a right to see one.
	You have a right to the nearest emergency care if you're in an accident.
	These are things that we ought to say.
	And I think we ought to say you should have a right to keep your doctor during a period of treatment, whether it's a pregnancy or a chemotherapy treatment or anything else.
	I believe this.
	Now, I've ordered these rights to be extended to the 85 million Americans served by Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal health programs.
	But only Congress can pass a Patient's Bill of Rights for all Americans.
	Last year, Congress missed that opportunity and we must not miss that opportunity again.
	And for the sake of our family, I ask us to join together across party lines and pass a strong, enforceable Patients'
	Bill of Rights.
	Applause As more of our medical records are stored electronically,
	the threats to all our privacy increase.
	because Congress has given me the authority to act if it does not do so by August one way or another.
	We can all play to the American people. We will protect the privacy of medical records and we will do it this year.
	Two years ago, the Congress extended health coverage to up to five million children.
	Now we should go beyond that.
	We should make it easier for small businesses to offer health insurance.
	We should give people between the ages of 55 and 65 who lose their health insurance the chance to buy into Medicare.
	And we should continue to ensure access to family planning.
	No one should have to choose between keeping health care and taking a job.
	And therefore, I especially ask you tonight to join hands to pass the landmark bipartisan legislation
	proposed by Senators Kennedy and Jeffords, Roth and Moynihan, to allow people with disabilities to keep their health
	insurance when they go to work.
	We need to enable our public hospitals, our community, our university health centers,
	to provide basic affordable care for all the millions of working families who don't have any
	insurance.
	Thank you.
	They do a lot of that today, but much more can be done.
	And my balanced budget makes a good down payment toward that goal.
	I hope you will think about them and support that provision.
	Let me say we must step up our efforts Thank you.
	treat and prevent mental illness. No American should ever be able to pray ever to address
	this disease. This year we will host a White House conference on mental health with sensitivity
	commitment and passion. Timper Gore is leading our efforts here and I'd like to thank her
	for what.
	As everyone knows. Our children are targets of a massive media campaign. To hook them
	on cigarettes.
	Thank you.
	Now I ask this Congress to resist the tobacco lobby, to reaffirm the FDA's authority to protect our children from tobacco, and to hold tobacco companies accountable while protecting tobacco farmers.
	Smoking has cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars under Medicare and other programs.
	You know, the states have been right about this.
	Taxpayers shouldn't pay for the cost of lung cancer, emphysema, and other smoking-related illnesses.
	The tobacco companies should.
	So tonight I announce that the Justice Department is preparing a litigation plan to take the tobacco companies to court.
	And with the funds we recover to strengthen Medicare.
	Thank you.
	if we act in these areas minimum wage family leave childcare health care the safety of
	our children and we will begin to meet our generation's historic responsibility to strengthen
	our families for the twenty first century.
	Thank you.
	Today, America is the most dynamic, competitive, job-creating economy in history.
	But we can do even better in building a 21st century economy That embraces all Americans.
	Today's income gap is largely a skills gap.
	Last year, the Congress passed a law enabling workers to get a skills grant to choose the training they need.
	And I applaud all of you here who were part of that.
	This year, I recommend a five-year commitment to the new system so that we can provide over the next five years Appropriate training opportunities for all Americans who lose their jobs and expand rapid response teams to help all towns which have been really hurt when businesses closed.
	I hope you will support this.
	Also, I ask your support for a dramatic increase in federal support for adult literacy.
	To mount a national campaign aimed at helping the millions and millions of working people
	who still read at less than a fifth grade level.
	We need to do that.
	Applause Here's some good news.
	In the past six years, we have cut the welfare rolls nearly in half.
	Applause Two years ago from this podium, I asked five companies to
	lead a national effort to hire people off welfare.
	Tonight, our Welfare to Work Partnership includes 10,000 companies who have hired hundreds of thousands of people.
	And our balanced budget will help another 200,000 people move to the dignity and pride of work.
	I hope you will support it.
	We must do more to bring the spark of private enterprise to every corner of America.
	you.
	To build a bridge from Wall Street to Appalachia to the Mississippi Delta to our Native American communities.
	With more support for community development banks, for empowerment zones, for 100,000 more vouchers for affordable housing.
	And I ask Congress To support our bold new plan to help businesses raise up to $15 billion in private sector capital.
	to bring jobs and opportunities to our inner cities and rural areas with tax credits, loan guarantees,
	including the new American Private Investment Company modeled on the overseas private investment company.
	Now, for years and years and years, we've had this OPIC, this Overseas Private Investment
	Corporation because we knew we had untapped markets overseas.
	But our greatest untapped markets are not overseas. They are right here at home, and we should go after them.
	We must work hard to help bring prosperity back to the family farm.
	Thank you.
	As this Congress knows very well, dropping prices and the loss of foreign markets have devastated too many family farms.
	Last year, the Congress provided substantial assistance to help stave off a disaster in American agriculture.
	And I am ready to work with lawmakers of both parties to create a farm safety net That will include crop insurance reform and farm income assistance.
	I actually ask you to join with me and do this.
	This should not be a political issue.
	Everyone knows what an economic problem is going on out there in rural America today,
	and we need an appropriate means to address it.
	We must strengthen our lead in technology.
	It was government investment that led to the creation of the Internet.
	I propose a 28% increase in long-term computing results.
	We also must be ready for the 21st century from its very first moment by solving the so-called Y2K computer problem.
	Now, we had one member of Congress stand up and applaud.
	And we may have about that ratio out there applauding at home in front of their television sets.
	But remember, this is a big, big problem, and we've been working hard on it.
	Already, we've made sure that the Social Security checks will come on time.
	And I...
	But I want all the folks at home listening to this to know that we need every state and local government,
	every business large and small, to work with us to make sure that this Y2K computer bug
	will be remembered as the last headache of the 20th century, not the first crisis of the 21st century.
	For our own prosperity, We must support economic growth above.
	You know, until recently, a third of our economic growth came from exports.
	But over the past year and a half, financial turmoil overseas has put that growth at risk.
	Today, much of the world is in recession, with Asia hit especially hard.
	This is the most serious financial crisis in half a century.
	To meet it, the United States and other nations have reduced interest rates and strengthened the International Monetary Fund.
	And while the turmoil is not over, we have worked very hard with other nations to contain it.
	At the same time, we have to continue to work on the long-term project, building a global financial system for the 21st century that promotes prosperity and tames the cycle of boom and bust that has engulfed so much of Asia.
	This June, I will meet with other world leaders to advance this historic purpose.
	And I ask all of you to support our endeavors.
	I also ask you to support creating a freer and fairer trading system for 21st century America.
	You know, I'd like to say something really serious to everyone in this chamber and both parties.
	I think trade has divided us and divided Americans outside this chamber for too long.
	Somehow we have to find a common ground on which business and workers and environmentalists and farmers and government can stand together.
	I believe these are the things we ought to all agree on.
	So let me try.
	First, we ought to tear down barriers, open markets, and expand trade.
	But at the same time, we must ensure that ordinary citizens in all countries actually benefit from trade.
	A trade that promotes the dignity of work, and the rights of workers, and protects the environment.
	We must insist that international trade organizations be more open to public scrutiny, instead of mysterious, secret things subject to wild criticism.
	When you come right down to it, now that the world economy is becoming more and more integrated, We have to do in the world what we spent the better part of this century doing here at home.
	We have got to put a human face on the global economy.
	We must enforce our trade laws.
	When imports unlawfully flood our nation.
	I have already informed the government of Japan that if that nation's sudden third of steel imports into our
	country is not reversed, America will respond.
	We must help all manufacturers hit hard by the present crisis with loan guarantees and other incentives to
	increase American exports by nearly $2 billion.
	I'd like to believe we can achieve a new consensus on trade based on these principles.
	and I ask the Congress again to join me in this common approach and to give the president the trade authority,
	long use and now overdue and necessary to advance our prosperity in the 21st century.
	Applause Tonight I issue a call to the nations of the world to join
	the United States in a new round of global trade negotiations
	to expand exports of services, manufacturers and farm products.
	Tonight, I say we will work with the International Labor Organization on a new initiative to raise labor standards around the world.
	And this year, we will lead the international community to conclude a treaty to ban abusive child labor everywhere in
	the world.
	If we do these things, invest in our people, our communities, our technology, and lead in the global economy,
	then we will begin to meet our historic responsibility to build a 21st century prosperity for America.
	You know, no nation in history has had the opportunity and the responsibility we now have to shape a world that is more peaceful, more secure, more free.
	You're listening to WBCQ, Monticello, Maine, USA.
	This is the Hour of the Time.
	I'm William Cooper.
	You're listening to President William Jefferson Clinton's State of the Union address to the
	Congress of the United States of America.
	Be proud that our leadership helped to bring peace in Northern Ireland.
	All Americans can be proud that our leadership has put Bosnia on the path to peace.
	With our NATO allies, we are pressing the Serbian government to stop its brutal repression in Kosovo.
	To bring...
	...
	All Americans can be proud that our leadership renewed hope for lasting peace in the Middle East.
	Some of you were with me last December as we watched the Palestinian National Council completely renounce its call for the destruction of Israel.
	Now I ask Congress to provide resources so that all parties can implement the Y Agreement.
	To protect Israel's security, to stimulate the Palestinian economy, to support our friends in Jordan.
	We must not, we dare not let them down.
	I hope you will help.
	Thank you.
	As we work for peace, we must also meet threats to our nation's security, including increased
	dangers from outlaw nations and terrorism.
	Thank you.
	We will defend our security wherever we are threatened, as we did this summer when we struck at Osama bin Laden's network of terror.
	The bombing of our embassies in Kenya and Tanzania reminds us again of the risks faced
	every day by those who represent America to the world.
	Let's give them the support they need.
	The safest possible workplaces and the resources they must have so America can continue to
	lead.
	We must work to keep terrorists from disrupting computer networks.
	We must work to prepare local communities for biological and chemical emergencies.
	to support research into vaccines and treatments.
	We must increase our efforts to restrain the spread of nuclear weapons and missiles
	from Korea to India and Pakistan.
	We must expand our work with Russia, Ukraine, and other former Soviet nations
	to safeguard nuclear materials and technology so they never fall into the wrong hands.
	Our balanced budget will increase funding for these critical efforts by almost two-thirds
	over the next five years.
	you With Russia, we must continue to reduce our nuclear arsenals.
	The START II treaty and the framework we have already agreed to for START III could cut them by 80% from their Cold War height.
	It's been two years since I signed the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.
	If we don't do the right thing, other nations won't either.
	I ask the Senate to take this vital step.
	approve the treaty now to make it harder for other nations to develop nuclear
	arms and to make sure we can end nuclear testing forever.
	For nearly a decade, Iraq has defied its obligations to destroy its weapons of
	terror and the missiles to deliver them.
	Amen.
	America will continue to contain Saddam, and we will work for the day when Iraq has a government worthy of its people.
	Now, last month in our action over Iraq, our troops were superb.
	Their mission was so flawlessly executed that we risked taking for granted the bravery and the skill it required.
	Captain Jeff Tolliver, a 10-year veteran of the Air Force, flew a B-1B bomber over Iraq as we attacked Saddam's war machine.
	He's here with us tonight.
	I'd like to ask you to honor him and all the 33,000 men and women of Operation Desert Fox.
	Captain Collins.
	I'm going to start with the first question.
	It is time to reverse the decline in defense spending that
	began in 1985.
	Since April, together we have added nearly $6 billion to maintain our military readiness.
	My balanced budget calls for a sustained increase over the next six years for readiness,
	for modernization, and for pay and benefits for our troops and their families.
	We are the heirs of a legacy of bravery represented in every community in America by millions of our veterans.
	Amen.
	America's defenders today still stand ready at a moment's notice to go where comforts are few and dangers are many, to do what needs to be done as no one else can.
	They always come through for America.
	We must come through for them.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	The new century demands new partnerships for peace and security.
	Thank you.
	The United Nations plays a crucial role with allies sharing burdens America might otherwise bear alone.
	America needs a strong and effective UN.
	I want to work with this new Congress to pay our dues and our debts.
	We must continue to support security and stability in Europe and Asia.
	Thank you.
	Expanding NATO and defining its new missions.
	Maintaining our alliance with Japan, with Korea, with our other Asian allies.
	And engaging China.
	In China last year, I said to the leaders and the people what I'd like to say again tonight.
	Stability can no longer be bought at the expense of liberty.
	But I'd also like to say again to the American people, it's important not to isolate China.
	The more we bring China into the world, the more the world will bring change and freedom to China.
	Last spring, with some of you, I traveled to Africa, where I saw democracy and reform rising,
	but still held back by violence and disease.
	We must fortify African democracy and peace by launching Radio Democracy for Africa, supporting
	the transition to democracy now beginning to take place in Nigeria, and passing the
	African Trade and Development Act.
	We must continue to deepen our ties to the Americas and the Caribbean, our common work
	to educate children, fight drugs, strengthen democracy, and increase trade.
	It's a good thing.
	In this hemisphere, every government but one is freely chosen by its people.
	we're determined that Cuba too will know the blessings of liberty.
	Applause.
	The American people have opened their hearts and their arms to our Central
	American and Caribbean neighbors who've been so devastated by the recent
	hurricanes.
	the next video.
	Working with Congress, I am committed to help them rebuild.
	When the First Lady and Tipper Gore visited the region, they saw thousands of our troops and thousands of American volunteers.
	In the Dominican Republic, Hillary helped to rededicate a hospital that had been rebuilt by Dominicans and Americans working side-by-side.
	With her was someone else who has been very important to the relief efforts.
	You know, sports records are made and sooner or later, they're broken.
	But making other people's lives better and showing our children the true meaning of brotherhood That lasts forever.
	So for far more than baseball.
	Sammy Sosa you're a hero in two.
	Thank you so much.
	Thank you.
	you.
	So, I say to all of you, if we do these things, if we pursue peace, fight terrorism, increase
	our strength, renew our alliances, we will begin to meet our generation's historic responsibility
	to build a stronger 21st century America and a freer, more peaceful world.
	As the world has changed, so have our own communities.
	We must make them safer, more livable, and more united.
	This year, we will reach our goal of 100,000 community police officers ahead of schedule and under budget.
	The Brady Bill has stopped a quarter million felons, fugitives, and stalkers from buying handguns.
	And now the murder rate is the lowest in 30 years and the crime rate has dropped for six
	straight years.
	Tonight, I propose a 21st century crime bill to deploy the latest technologies and tactics
	to make our communities even safer.
	All right.
	Our balanced budget will help to put up to 50,000 more police on the street in the areas hardest hit by crime, and then to equip them with new tools from crime mapping computers to digital mug shots.
	We must break the deadly cycle of drugs and crime.
	Our budgets expand support for drug testing and treatment, saying to prisoners, if you stay on drugs, you have to stay behind bars.
	And to those on parole, if you want to keep your freedom, you must stay free of drugs.
	I ask Congress to restore the five-day waiting period for buying a handgun and extend the Brady Bill to prevent juveniles
	who commit violent crimes from buying a gun.
	Thank you.
	We must do more to keep our schools the safest places in our communities.
	Last year, every American was horrified and heartbroken by the tragic killings in Jonesboro, Paducah, Pearl, Edinburgh, Springfield.
	We were deeply moved by the courageous parents now working to keep guns out of the hands of children and to make other efforts so that other parents don't have to live through their loss.
	After she lost her daughter, Suzanne Wilson of Jonesboro, Arkansas, came here to the White House with a powerful plea.
	She said, please, please, for the sake of your children, lock up your guns.
	Don't let what happened in Jonesboro happen in your town.
	It's a message she is passionately advocating every day.
	Suzanne is here with us tonight with the First Lady.
	I'd like to thank her for her courage and commitment.
	Thank you.
	In memory of all the children who lost their lives to school violence, I ask you to strengthen
	the Safe and Drug-Free School Act, to pass legislation to require child trigger locks,
	to do everything possible to keep our children safe.
	Thank you.
	Today we're risk... excuse me... a century ago, President Theodore Roosevelt defined Our great central task is leaving this land even a better land for our descendants than it is for us.
	Today, we're restoring the Florida Everglades, saving Yellowstone, preserving the Red Rock Canyons of Utah, protecting California's wetwoods and our precious coasts.
	But our most fateful new challenge is the threat of global warming.
	1998 was the warmest year ever recorded.
	Last year's heat waves, floods, and storms are but a hint of what future generations may endure if we do not act now.
	Tonight, I propose a new Clean Air Fund to help communities reduce greenhouse and other pollution, and tax incentives and investment to spur clean energy technology.
	And I want to work with members of Congress in both parties to reward companies that take early, voluntary action to
	reduce greenhouse gases.
	Applause All our communities face a preservation challenge as they
	grow.
	and green space shrinks.
	7,000 acres of farmland and open space are lost every day.
	In response, I propose two major initiatives.
	First, a $1 billion livability agenda to help communities save open space, ease traffic congestion, and grow in ways that enhance every citizen's quality of life.
	And second, a $1 billion lands legacy initiative to preserve places of natural beauty all
	across America from the most remote wilderness to the nearest city park.
	All right.
	These are truly landmark initiatives which could not have been developed
	without the visionary leadership of the Vice President and I want
	to thank him very much for his commitment here.
	Thank you.
	Now, to get the most out of your community, you have to give something back.
	That's why we created AmeriCorps, our national service program that gives today's generation a chance to serve their communities and earn money for college.
	So far in just four years, 100,000 young Americans have built low-income homes with Habitat for Humanity, helped to tutor children with churches, worked with FEMA to ease the burden of natural disasters, and performed countless other acts of service that have made America better.
	I ask Congress to give more young Americans the chance to follow their lead and serve
	America in AmeriCorps.
	We must work to renew our national community as well for the 21st century.
	Last year the House passed The bipartisan campaign finance reform legislation sponsored by Representative Shays and Meehan and Senators McCain and Feingold.
	But a partisan minority in the Senate blocked reform.
	So I'd like to say to the House, pass it again.
	quickly.
	And I'd like to say to the Senate, I hope you will say yes to a stronger American democracy
	Thank you.
	Since 1997, our initiative on race has sought to bridge the divides between and among our people.
	In its report last fall, the initiative's advisory board found that Americans really do want to bring our people together across racial lines.
	We know it's been a long journey.
	For some, it goes back to before the beginning of our Republic.
	For others, back since the Civil War.
	For others, throughout the 20th century.
	But for most of us alive today, in a very real sense, this journey began 43 years ago, when a woman named Rosa Parks sat down on a bus in Alabama and wouldn't get up.
	She's sitting down with the First Lady tonight, and she may get up or not as she chooses.
	We thank you.
	Thank you.
	We know that our continuing racial problems are aggravated, as the presidential initiative
	said, by opportunity gaps.
	The initiative I've outlined tonight will help to close them.
	But we know that the discrimination gap has not been fully closed either.
	Discrimination or violence because of race or religion Ancestry or gender, disability or sexual orientation is wrong and it ought to be illegal.
	Therefore, I ask Congress to make the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and the Hate Crimes
	Prevention Act the law of the land.
	Now since every person in America counts, every American ought to be counted.
	We need a census that uses modern scientific methods to do that.
	Our new immigrants must be part of our one America.
	After all, they're revitalizing our cities, they're energizing our culture, they're building up our economy.
	We have a responsibility to make them welcome here, and they have a responsibility to enter the mainstream of American life.
	That means learning English and learning about our democratic system of government.
	There are now long waiting lines of immigrants that are trying to do just that.
	Therefore, our budget significantly expands our efforts to help them meet their responsibility.
	I hope you will support it.
	Whether our ancestors came here on the Mayflower, on slave ships, whether they came to Ellis
	Island or LAX in Los Angeles, whether they came yesterday or walked this land a thousand
	years ago, our great challenge for the 21st century is to find a way to be one America.
	We can meet all the other challenges if we can go forward as one America.
	You know, barely more than 300 days from now, We will cross that bridge into the new millennium.
	This is a moment, as the First Lady has said, to honor the past and imagine the future.
	I'd like to take just a minute to honor her for leading our Millennium Project, for all she's done for our children, for all she has done in her historic role to serve our nation and our best ideals at home and abroad.
	I want to hear you.
	Last year I called on Congress and every citizen to mark the millennium by saving America's treasures.
	Hillary's traveled all across the country to inspire recognition and support for saving places like Thomas Edison's Invention Factory or Harriet Tubman's home.
	Now we have to preserve our treasures in every community.
	And tonight, before I close, I want to invite every town, every city, every community to become a nationally recognized Millennium community.
	By launching projects that save our history, promote our arts and humanities, prepare our children for the 21st century.
	Already the response has been remarkable, and I want to say a special word of thanks to our private sector partners and the members of Congress of both parties for their support.
	Just one example.
	Because of you, the Star Spangled Banner will be preserved for the ages.
	In ways large and small, As we look to the millennium, we are keeping alive what George Washington called the sacred fire of liberty.
	Six years ago, I came to office in a time of doubt for America.
	With our economy troubled, our deficit high, our people divided.
	Some even wondered whether our best days were behind us.
	But across this country, in a thousand neighborhoods, I had seen, even amidst the pain and uncertainty of recession, The real heart and character of America.
	I knew then that we Americans could renew this country.
	Tonight, as I deliver the last State of the Union Address of the 20th century, no one anywhere in the world can doubt the enduring resolve and boundless capacity of the American people to work toward that more perfect union of our Founders' dreams.
	We're now at the end of a century when generation after generation of Americans answered the call to greatness, overcoming depression, lifting up the dispossessed, bringing down barriers to racial prejudice, building the largest middle class in history, winning two world wars, and the long twilight struggle of the Cold War.
	We must all be profoundly grateful for the magnificent achievements of our forebears in this century.
	Yet perhaps in the daily press of events, in the clash of controversy, we don't see our own time for what it truly is, a new dawn for America.
	A hundred years from tonight, another American president will stand in this place and report on the State of the Union.
	He or she will look back on a twenty-first century.
	He or she will look back on a twenty-first century century.
	So let it be said of us then that we were thinking not only of our time, but of their time.
	That we reached as high as our ideals.
	That we put aside our divisions and found a new hour of healing and hopefulness.
	That we join together to serve and strengthen the land we love.
	My fellow Americans, this is our moment.
	Let us lift our eyes as one nation.
	And from the mountaintop of this American century, look ahead to the next one.
	Asking God's blessing on our endeavors and on our beloved country.
	Thank you and good evening.
	I'm going to be speaking in English for the next few minutes.
	From those nasty Tiananmen Square.
	It's come from a field, but this ain't exactly real.
	Or it's real, but it ain't exactly real.
	From the war against disorder, from the sirens by the day, from the fires at the homes, from the ashes of the day,
	Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
	And this government should crack in the walls, from the war against the nation, from the war against the
	nation, from the war against the nation, from the war against the
	nation, From the brave, the bold, the battered, hide-a-like Chevrolet.
	The monster still comes to stab you in the face Whose carnal wounds are roaming the street
	The boring places where the bass is heard From the house of little Bitsy
	That goes down in every kitchen to the town Whose son who will need it
	From the wells of disappointment where the women kneel to pray
	For the grace of God, the dead is here and the dead is far away.
	Democracy is coming.
	the world. So, I'm going to stop there. I'm going to stop there. I'm going to stop there.
	The 1999 New Deal.
	Only about 100 times worse than Franklin Delano Roosevelt ever dreamed of.
	This is incredible.
	It did say some good things.
	And I was particularly pleased to get to see Rosa Parks, who is one of my personal heroes.
	To great courage.
	Tremendous, great courage.
	I admire brave people.
	It took tremendous courage for her to sit in the front of a Southern bus and refuse to get up.
	I imagine that she probably thought that she would be killed.
	That was the high point of the State of the Union address for me.
	There were a few other things that are legitimate and that would help this nation.
	For the most part, however, it was the Socialist-Communist agenda for the future of this nation to enslave the American people in a system, in a system, ladies and gentlemen, whereby they become obligated to Big Brother through the acceptance of benefits.
	Did you hear him say, did you hear him say, ladies and gentlemen, on several occasions, he tied it directly to accepting federal funds?
	Therein lies the key.
	They make agreements with the states to provide federal funding And the state, in turn, gives up its sovereignty over whatever activity is being funded, including police departments, transportation, medical care, education.
	Even the sovereignty of the individual citizen is lost when the citizen accepts benefits from Big Brother.
	We'll open the phones now and get your take on what you just heard and see what you have to say about it.
	Sounds wonderful, doesn't it?
	I can guarantee you the majority of the American sheeple are frothing at the mouth.
	They can't wait to get their share of the pie.
	Not understanding, even in the slightest little bit, what it means that they will have to pay Good evening.
	You're on the air.
	Yes, Bill.
	Good evening.
	Joel, Wisconsin.
	Hello, Joel.
	Joel, can you talk louder, please?
	Yeah, okay.
	How's that?
	And for all of you listening, if and when you call, please don't make me say talk louder.
	Just please do it.
	Okay.
	Go ahead.
	I watched that.
	I just tuned in, but I know what you're talking about.
	I watched that and I found it frightening.
	It was frightening listening to him.
	And the other thing I really noticed was I watched Vice President Gore in the background wiping his mouth and his head about 50 times.
	Really, I was very suspect.
	Every time he stood up and clapped, he sat down and ran his finger, his hand kind of
	cupped across under his nose, and he kept reaching up and wiping his hand across his
	forehead, and he also kept just doing these things every single time.
	Well, there's two possibilities.
	Number one, he could be suffering from the typical winter maladies such as I have right now, or he could be extremely nervous.
	That's a sign of extreme nervousness or illness.
	People who are ill Sweat and their nose runs and all kinds of things which would call for that kind of behavior.
	So, you know, I don't want to try and second guess what he was doing, but I noticed that also.
	Oh, you did?
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	I just wanted to comment on that.
	There may have been a legitimate reason for it.
	Normally, he does not do those things.
	Normally, he's stiff as a board and doesn't move.
	Yeah, I noticed that, but I was looking at his eyes and he's very piercing.
	I was just listening, watching him closely as Clinton talked.
	Oh, man.
	I need to get some vomit bags.
	My chair by the mouthpiece.
	Oh, yes.
	Well, take care.
	Thank you for calling.
	That's all I wanted to say.
	Okay.
	Thank you for calling.
	Okay, take care.
	520-333-4578 is the number.
	The phones are open.
	I want to get your take on what you just heard.
	Good evening.
	You're on the air.
	Hello, Glenn.
	What's that?
	Yes, but if you saw it on television, it was only one half of the room and the gallery.
	The Republicans were not participating in all of that clapping.
	You know, the House floor is divided into two sections.
	The Republicans sit on one side and the Democrats on the other.
	That keeps them from killing each other.
	Well, in some instances, you may be right.
	They did have a knock-down, drag-out fist fight in the floor of Congress back in the 1800s sometime.
	I don't remember exactly who participated, but it did happen.
	Yeah, you're right.
	The tremendous applause and the yelling and they were just frothing at the mouth.
	They just absolutely loved what they heard.
	Now, I want to say once again, the Republicans were not participating in any of that except in places where they should have, such as when Rosa Parks was introduced, when the President thanked the First Lady, Hillary.
	Everybody stood up and applauded.
	And those were just, you know, whether they had approved of it or not, it was the right thing to do at those moments.
	Well, I approve of Rosa Parks.
	Yes, she's one of my personal heroes.
	And always will be.
	Thank you, Bill.
	You're welcome, Len.
	Thank you for calling.
	520-333-4578 is the number.
	And the phones are open and we want to hear what you think of what you just heard.
	In the President's State of the Union Address to the Congress.
	Good evening, you're on the air.
	Hey Bill, that's Jim Taylor over in Kentucky.
	How you doing tonight?
	Good, Jim, how are you?
	Real good.
	Say, you know, the scary thing I've heard on this is it looks like he's really going to go for the goods here in this next semester.
	That's always been their agenda.
	That always will be their agenda.
	You see, socialism cannot succeed unless they have a disarmed populace.
	Because sooner or later, even the stupidest sheeple will discover what's happening and become absolutely enraged.
	And you know, I can't believe that Congress would sit there and allow this guy to even talk about what he's planning.
	And none of it's authorized in the Constitution.
	You know, he's going to help the whole world fund everything.
	Yeah, I need you to talk a lot louder.
	Your voice is dropping off there.
	Of course, you know, these guys do a lot of talking.
	You know, like Paul Harvey said this morning, a lot of it is just talk because they don't ever do what they say.
	Well, a lot of it is just talk.
	In fact, the way that President Clinton puts together his State of the Union Address is to take polls of the people and find out what it is that they want.
	And then he just strings this together in an hour and a half long speech, and he tells them he's going to give it to them.
	And of course they go absolutely nuts over that.
	The question I had for you, Bill, is how did we all of a sudden get rid of this national debt or deficit he was talking about?
	I didn't know we could come up with any money anywhere, did you?
	Well, unfortunately, most people never learn anything about money in school, not even the balance of checkbook.
	When you went through high school, did they teach you how to balance a checkbook?
	Well, when I went through high school, we did, but they didn't teach me how to balance a checkbook.
	They taught me mathematics, and of course, mathematics, you're supposed to understand those things, but nobody does, really.
	What he's talking about when he says they have a balanced budget, a balanced budget is only staying within, staying within the amount of money allotted to run the government for that year.
	And the way that you balance the budget the easiest is instead of projecting out the exact amount of money that you need and then allocating that much money to run the government for that year, what they do is allocate about one and a half or two times that much and then when they go over what they would normally have spent because of I don't know.
	emergencies and having to deploy FEMA for floods and hurricanes and things like that,
	they don't overspend.
	And so the difference between what was voted as the budget and allocated for the government
	to spend during the year and what they actually spent is either a deficit or a surplus.
	Okay.
	Say one more thing, I'll let you go.
	Are you going to have a conference this year?
	I don't know.
	We haven't determined that yet.
	Okay.
	Well, I'll keep listening for you.
	Okay.
	And ladies and gentlemen, the national debt and a deficit or a surplus in the budget are not the same things.
	And it has nothing to do with the balance of trade either.
	Right now we have the largest trade deficit in the history of the nation, maybe even the world.
	And our national debt is unbelievably out of sight.
	So when he talks about all these things, it means absolutely nothing.
	It only means something to people who don't understand it and have no idea what he's talking about.
	Good evening, you're on the air.
	Hi Bill, this is Renee from Michigan.
	Hello Renee.
	Well, after listening to part of the speech last night, and barely making it through it, and then listening to it in entirety tonight, I think I'm going to get a black dress and go in the morning.
	There was one statement he made that really clinched it for me, and that's when he said those three words, The New Dawn.
	Yes, and we all know what that means.
	Yeah, we sure do.
	It's amazing, once you learn these things, how you read between the lines, and it's like deciphering a foreign language that most people Well, that's exactly what it is.
	Most people don't understand it, and it is a symbolic, esoteric, or hidden language that they use for talking to each other.
	Yeah, and it's amazing that when you watch it on the news, or you see it in an advertisement, you know, you look at someone else that knows the same thing, and you kind of chuckle.
	Yeah, or in the President's State of the Union Address.
	It just makes me sad in my heart that everything he talked about sounded so wonderful and so full of socialistic ideas.
	Well, that's how they sucker in the sheeple.
	Yes, and you know these things would be great if it didn't Yeah, if there were no strings attached.
	And if you could keep your personal sovereignty, the sovereignty of the state that you live in, and maintain your liberties and freedoms, yes.
	But it's like being a child and living in your father's house.
	When you live in your father's house, sleep in the bed that he purchased, eat his meals, you're going to obey his rules.
	Yes, that's right.
	My father used to always say, as long as you live in my house, you follow my rules.
	That's right.
	And this is just history continuing to repeat itself.
	Yes, and a sovereign, independent people who had rights, liberty and freedoms, who were
	adults in every sense of the word, are now regressing back to childhood and the federal
	government is going to become their daddy.
	Well, we're going back to what we fought to get away from and people have become so...
	Me, me, me oriented, and I want it, and I want it now, and if Big Brother takes care of it for me, then my life is easier.
	And unfortunately, for the United States, I'm afraid, we have turned our backs on God, and we are now reaping Yes, you're right.
	One of the things that I find so absolutely appalling is that he calls up all of these socialist ideas, all of these tools with which to enslave the people in the name of the Founding Fathers who would have absolutely rose up in arms against what is happening, and did at one time against the tyranny of King George.
	It's quite interesting here within the next year to see exactly how all these things start to unfold.
	I knew years ago that things were wrong.
	I've only, in about ten years, completely, not completely, but have started to understand more and more what is wrong.
	I just never thought in my lifetime that I may actually see all this come about.
	And it's frightening and it's very sad Yeah, can't happen in America.
	Oh, no.
	Can't happen here.
	No.
	You must be full of baloney, man.
	Can't happen here.
	This is America.
	And I always tell people, if it can happen in other countries, it can happen here.
	We've already had war here, if you remember.
	My goodness sakes, if you ever studied any of the history of the German people, you would have sworn it could not have ever happened in Germany.
	But it did.
	Hitler was a socialist.
	He socialized Germany.
	He almost destroyed half the world.
	Yeah.
	Well, we get what we deserve.
	Yes, we do.
	And we're going to get it.
	Oh, yes, we are.
	Well, God bless you, Bill.
	And you too.
	Thank you.
	Thank you for calling.
	Bye-bye.
	520-333-4578.
	What did you think of what you just heard?
	Good evening.
	You're on the air.
	Oh, hello, Bill.
	Hello.
	I really feel that that speech was really about... Can you talk a lot louder, please?
	Yep.
	His speech was really about staying in the presidency.
	It was like he was running for office.
	He was promising the world.
	Yeah, he did that last year, too, though.
	He promised the world last year.
	Yeah.
	And the year before.
	And the year before that.
	Well, people buy into it.
	Yeah.
	Because they want something for nothing.
	And the other tidbit I wanted to say is that Even though most of us now understand the importance of homeschooling, I think what we're going to be seeing in the U.S.
	is that our schools are going to be ISO 9000 certified.
	It's happening now in the state of Pennsylvania.
	And as you know, ISO 9000 is an international standards organization based in Switzerland.
	Yes, it is.
	And I just thought that was kind of interesting.
	People should kind of watch out for it in their communities.
	Well, not watch out for it.
	They should stop it if they can, but in any event, their children should not be in these socialist, Marxist, Leninist, Maoist schools.
	They should not ever allow these terrible people to put their hands on the minds of their children.
	Well, I think that by, you know, the fact that our schools are now ISO 9000 certified, I mean, it is an absolute indication of the international control of our school system.
	I mean, period.
	Yeah.
	That they're going to be controlled now by international standards.
	Yes.
	At least I'd add that to the conversation.
	Well, thank you.
	Alright, thanks.
	520, and thank you for your call, 520-333-4578 is the number.
	What do you think about what you just heard?
	Good evening, you're on the air.
	Yes, sir.
	Yeah, my name is Thug from St.
	Louis.
	One of the things I noticed is when he mentioned the youth called AmeriCorps.
	Yes.
	And the first thing that popped into my mind on that one was... Roosevelt's Conservation Corps.
	Oh, it popped into my mind was Hitler's Little Youth Program.
	Yeah, Hitler's Youth Program, also.
	Same thing.
	I was just going to wonder, I say, you're going to include the brown shirts with that, you know?
	Another thing I noticed, like the lady just called, is the new Don.
	That really rings some bells.
	And for all of you out there who think I'm full of crap, if I was full of crap, he never would have used that term.
	Right, exactly.
	Yeah, I caught that.
	My wife caught it right off the bat.
	But I think the part, you know, I should have told my wife, I wish I had a vomit bag myself.
	But the part that really got me was the thing they did where they took Sandy Sosa and used Yeah, well, that's a hallmark of... It's so low, Mr. Cooper, that this guy just don't quit.
	Yeah, it's a hallmark of these people.
	Yeah, I mean, every word out of his mouth was one big, socialistic speech.
	It's all sickening to me.
	It just makes me feel like it's greasy all over.
	I just want to get away from him.
	Yeah, well, you know, I wanted to also comment on Al Gore.
	I've been watching him in the background for the whole...
	Yes.
	in two terms. And this guy, whenever you're watching Clinton on television, Gore will
	be staring right out at you. In other words, you know, when a person's on stage, he's usually
	has his eyes fixed on the audience. That means he has to be staring right into the camera.
	And I mean, this guy has a wig on, like, staring right through you.
	Oh, he's scary. He's much scarier than Clinton. And if he ever becomes president, he's going
	to be about 100 times more dangerous than Clinton.
	Yeah, I heard you say that, and I was just thinking that myself.
	I have a moral conflict thing going here.
	To say I don't want Clinton impeached is almost sinful.
	You know, the lesser of two evils, but they're both evil.
	I mean, I just, uh, I don't know, you know, whether it's like the frying pan to the fire.
	I don't know about you, but I cannot deal with evil in any form, no matter how greater or how lesser.
	That's how I feel.
	You can't take the lesser of two evils.
	Unless you do what is... I'm pretty well off my face in the Republican Party, you know.
	I don't consider myself a Republican anymore.
	I'm certainly not a liberal.
	I've just seen this whole thing that's just trashed and dummied down so much.
	And I've seen the American people snowed so much.
	I guess the best thing they can do, and they're not going to do it, is take a TV set and throw the damn thing out in the street in the garbage where it belongs.
	Or crackin' a damn book.
	And reading and learning.
	Good luck on that.
	Lied and lied and lied due to the point.
	We are so immersed in lies and deceit, we couldn't see the damn truth that was staring us in our face.
	You know?
	Well, you're right.
	Now, Bill, could I get from you your address or how I can get the Harvest or Veritrop?
	How you can get what?
	Veritrop, your newsletter.
	That's a newspaper.
	Yes, sir.
	Call me sometime tomorrow between noon and 4 p.m.
	Mountain Standard Time.
	Okay.
	At this number you just dialed.
	Alright.
	Will do.
	Thank you sir.
	You're welcome.
	And thank you for calling.
	520-333-4578.
	I think we have time for one more call.
	Good evening, you're on the air.
	Yeah Bill, this is Steve from up around Kalamazoo.
	That lady you called in about the ISO standard, a little historical perspective.
	How ISO was formed is when the Germans had to invade Italy after the Italians were capitulating.
	At the end of World War II to protect their southern flank.
	The problem was the Italian government infrastructure was all done verbally, by family, by clan.
	There were no documentation as far as how to run the infrastructure of the country.
	And when the Germans invaded to protect their southern flank, that's why they decided they wanted international standards.
	But that's where ISIL was born, is when the Germans Well, that's interesting.
	Well, I gotta tell you that Hitler may be dead, but Nazism is not dead.
	And because I'm a senior production engineer, I know the history behind it, and they don't
	let me go to any of these ISIL-rah-rah meetings anymore, because I know it was push-list.
	Well, I've got to tell you that Hitler may be dead, but Nazism is not dead.
	It is socialism, and it is coming back.
	And that's where ISIL was founded, was born, when they went in, and there was no documentation.
	And the other insidious thing about ISO, if a company is ISO documented, its management can be replaced, its workers can be replaced, and it can be moved to the cheapest labor location on the globe.
	And the people who benefit is it protects the investment by the international bankers because If a business was organized on a family level, if the family runs away or is killed, they have nothing as far as an asset left.
	Whereas, if it's ISO-documented... I hate to interrupt you, but we're out of time.
	God bless.
	Gotta let you go.
	God bless you, too.
	And thank you for calling.
	That's it, folks, for tonight.
	Good night and God bless each and every single one of you.
	I'm a broken man, I'm a broken man. See my life is ruined here, there's no one left to torture me.
	I need to get absolute control over everything, so in man's hand he is in his order to get the world.
	I'm a broken man, I'm a broken man. See my life is ruined here, there's no one left to torture me.
	Now you know why William Jefferson Clinton called me, William Cooper, the most dangerous radio host in America.
	It's because the best weapon to use against tyranny against socialism in particular, which is nothing but the greatest systemic lie that's ever been invented, is true.
	Don't forget to turn in, once again, tomorrow night, to the Hour of the Dulles.
	The world is a house of threshold, and the school bus is set up for work on the soul.
	Well, we load the station wagons down till the bumper nearly drags the ground, and take off for quality time, one
	another.
	Yeah.
	My wife and me and her teenage daughter and her son with the energy of an otter, the eight-year-old tomboy, and their faithfulness.
	And for 50 miles, everything is fine.
