Let us give more opportunities to our children than we inherited from our parents. A lot of candidates are running that are great talkers, weve had seven years of a great talker. Lets elect a doer. God bless yall. During his tenure in the senate, senator graham cut entitlements. Mr. Heath senator graham, john mccain was on my show on friday, touting our Foreign Policy experience. I think he said of all the candidates running you have the deepest experience. Mr. Graham when he is right, he is right. Not always, but when he is right, he is right. Mr. Heath lets put that to the testify. Mr. Graham i wont mention the candidate that is not here. Is there any scenario you think if your generals and advisors are saying maybe we should have gone earlier, if we go in places in syria, we can knock isis back. If you know about this, is that a smart thing to do . Why arent we doing it if it is . Mr. Graham you have a weak president that is more worried about Campaign Promises than dealing with the threats to our country. He was told by all of his commanders, dont leave iraq without a 10,000 residual force behind. John mccain and i begged him not to. Everything we said has happened. It is hard, democracy is hard. Look how hard it is for us. You expect these people to get everything right in 10 or 15 years . It wont happen. He was told by all of his advisors, you need to help the Free Syrian Army while assad is on the rope, a nofly zone. He said no thank you. He said isil is the j. V. Teal. He drew a red line, and everybody thinks we are all talk. You need more troops in iraq. I have been to iraq and afghanistan 35 times. I ask you to make me commander in chief. You need somebody who knows what they are doing. I have been a reservist. It will not be easy. Were going to have to go from 3500 to 10,000 to get iraq in a good spot. If you dont deal with syria well be hit here. Its the perfect platform to attack us. There is no ground component in syria. We spent 5 00 million to train 60 people. I would go to the turks, to egypt, to jordan, i would go to saudi arabia and say were going to take your armies and integrate our forces in your armies and you will pay for this war, we paid for the last two. Well pull the caliphate up and repair syria. If we dont they are coming here. There is no easy way forward folks. We wont balance the budget without democratic support or fix immigration unless you get a bipartisan plan. Im from the reddest of red states. My biggest sin is that i worked for democrats that tried to find arable a rational solution. I would suggest to you the best way to predict what i will do in the future is what i have done in the past. Whatever it takes to defend the country. Mr. Heath what should the federal minimum wage be . Mr. Graham the federal minimum wage should not be increased. Hillary clintons list is a mile long of help the middle class. The middle class is somebody that cant go on vacation when the car breaks. The middle class has to make hard choices nobody else seems to make any more. I have been there. Her definition, secretary clintons definition of flat broke is different than mine. If after two terms in the white husband and your husband is president you think you are flat broke, boy, have you lost your way . At 22 i was flat broke when my parents died within 15 months. I cant wait to get in the ring with her or joe biden, who is a fine man. If you want to turn around american Foreign Policy, the last two people you ought to ask is his Vice President or former secretary of state. Mr. Heath 30 seconds, senator. Mr. Graham the next president needs to be sure of who or im sorry. I cant talk. The next president needs to have their act together. Three problems. Too many terrorists, too much debt, too few jobs. You need a strategy to put radical islam in a box and nail it shot. We cant do it without more troops. The debt is driven by the 80 million baby boomers. We are going to wipe out Social Security and medicare if we dont do anything about it. I would do whatever it takes to save this program and this country. Under ms. Fiorinas leadership Hewlett Packard grew to become one of the biggest countries in the United States. Mr. Heath how can we get past what happened in 2008. Ms. Fiorina the financial crisis was caused by fannie mae and freddie mac. These were sponsored by republicans and democrats alike. They have not been reformed. 25 agencies were supposed to be minding the store and did not. Democrats passed doddfrank. Doddfrank caused 10 wall street banks too big to fail, have become five, more bigger, powerful wall street banks and thousands of Community Banks have gone out of business. We need to repeal doddfrank like we need to repeal obamacare and get about what we should have been doing years ago. Reform freddie may and freddie mac. The government should not be in the mortgage business. The agencies that regulate the mortgage system should be competent. The regulators that are supposed to be minding the Banking System are watching pornography and earning the same pay. This is not rocket science. It just never seems to happen. Mr. Heath senator graham had some sobering words about perhaps iraq syria, troop commitment. I think americans i cant even begin to characterize what it is like to watch the beheadings and torture and what isis is doing to captives. We know about lone wolf terrorism. Chattanooga, tennessee, and so forth. Fort dix. Do the American People have the stomach to go to war, even if it is limited, to go to war in syria or iraq to fight this evil . Ms. Fiorina president obama continuously provided to the American People the false choice. He says either you agree with what im doing or not doing or the option is to go to war. That is not true. There are many things we could and should be doing. First we must have the Strongest Military on the planet and everyone has to know it, which means we have to invest in fighting men and women and reneed to reform the department of defense. I would make two phone calls to netanyahu, to rea sure him we stand with israel. The second is the leader of iran. He may not take my call. He would get the message. Until you allow anytime, anywhere inspections well make it difficult for you to move money around the Global Financial system. Why do i start with those things . Knowing more World Leaders on the stage today than Anyone Running with the possible exception of hillary clinton, i know our allies need a message from us we will stand with them and our adversaries need a message that we will confront you. In terms of isis, we have allies that know this is their fight. The king of jordan a good man the saudi, i know them, the kurds, the emrates, they know isis is their fight. They asked us for bombs, intelligence, and weapons, i would have a camp david summit and ask them what they need from us. Yes, they may need more special forces but we need to show leadership, resolve, or support or our allies will lose courage. Mr. Heath you have 30 seconds. Ms. Fiorina i started as a secretary in a nine person real estate firm. I went on to lead the Largest Technology country in the world. Now im running for the president of the United States. My story is only possible in america. Our nation is at a pivotal time. Whatever your issue or cause or problem that you hope would be resolved, the Political Class haslett you down. Margaret thatcher once said im not content to manage the decline of a great nation. Neither am i. We need a president who understands the economy, the world, how it works, who is in it. Bureaucracy and how to hold them accountable and cut them down to size. Technology. I have a proven track record of challenging the status quo and problem solving. With your support and vote i will lead the resurgence of a great nation. Mr. Heath thank you. Senator santorum was a member of the gang of seven that exposed the congressional banking and post office scandals. Mr. Heath senator, what should the president s role be in terming abortion policy in america. Mr. Santorum i believe that the Supreme Court of the United States has abused its authority. Most recently in the gay marriage case. Justice roberts said it best. There is no constitutional basis for this decision. Roe versus wade, they said it was the same logic as dred scott. Whose sign are you on . Are you going to be on the side of lincoln . Abraham lincoln said that decision cannot stand and they went on and passed a bill to free the slaves. Are we suggesting we will be held by a Supreme Court that Abraham Lincoln wasnt held by when an unjust decision was handed down . In my opinion, we cannot be. Mr. Heath is it time, this is from one of our folks, a voter. Is it time to put a woman on the 20 bill, and if so, who . Mr. Santorum i think carlie is a good choice. I like her. Mr. Heath i thought you would say mrs. Santorum. Mr. Santorum now you are going to get me in trouble. Karen, im putting you. Thats what i was thinking. Mr. Heath lets shift gears. You agree it is time . Mr. Santorum i think thats certainly appropriate. We have tremendous people, women of great accomplishment. I have no problem putting them on currency. Mr. Heath why has it taken this long. Do you support the marketplace fairness act from another voter marketplace fairness act, which requires internet businesses to collect sales tax. Mr. Santorum i do not. Mr. Heath what is going to happen if this push continues . How do you get across the message that taxing the internet might stifle growth. Mr. Santorum what we dont need is more government texas. Taxes. We need to go to a flat rate a simple system where you dont have any of the bells and whistles, no incentives. You dont need them if you have a low flat rate. Mr. Heath i hear from Small Business owners that feel at every level they are overburdened. Some say they would not even start the business today. Are we antibusiness in america and why . Mr. Santorum everything that president obama has done with a pen and phone can be undone on day one with a pen. I would suspend every single executive order, regulation, rules interpretation that cost americans jobs. I would repeal them. If there was no purpose for them, or i would review them and make them more business friendly and friendly to american workers. This is all about jobs. This is all about creating opportunities for the folks in america that feel that Neither Party cares about them. Democrats, all they want to do is give them money. Republicans, you know, all of our emphasis is all about Small Business. I think Small Business is great. We need to do things to encourage Small Business. But 90 of workers in america dont own or run their own business. They work for a living. We have to have an idea, a plan and a vision to put them back to work so they can rise, too. Mr. Heath you have 30 seconds to address the voters. Mr. Santorum as was mentioned i was a member of the gang of seven. I won my first race in a 60 democratic district against an incumbent. In a state of a million more democrats than republicans, i took out an incumbent . I did that because i was an effective reformer that stood for the people in this country no one else is standing for. Im the only person in the race that ran in a president ial year with a president on the ticket that lost the state, and i won. President bush lost by four and i won by five. No won has done that. Its hard in a president ial election. None of these gentlemen have won in an election year. If you want a winner, you have to have someone that will stand with the American People that has a record of reform and accomplishment to get things done and i have that record. Mr. Heath thank you, senator. Mr. Santorum thank you. As governor of ohio, governor kasich has made a surplus and cut taxes. Mr. Heath what is a major issue with which you will say tonight you disagree with the republican party, your own party on . Where is your party wrong . Mr. Kasich im not here to criticize my party. What i will tell you is i think that Economic Growth is not just an end unto itself. I think it is very important with Economic Growth comes responsibility and the ability to help people that live in the shadows, whether they are mentally ill or drug addicted. We have the mayor of manchester fighting a tsunami. All over the country are the working poor. What i have tried to emphasize is Economic Growth, the creation of jobs is our most important moral purpose. Once that is accomplished we need to reach out to people that have traditionally lived in the shadows. In my state, ohio, we usually find out the results of an election three days later, i had the second largest victory in modern ohio history with 60 of women, 51 of union households, 26 of african americans. Our whole purpose has to be to give everybody a sense that the American Dream is alive. That we all can rise. Whether we are drug addicted or ill or developmentally disabled, whether we have never been given the attention we need as made in the image of the lord. So i would not disagree with any of my colleagues on that. I think we all have a heart for that. It is something our party needs to talk more about so people across the country understand that we get them. Sometimes, jack, our problem is people dont necessarily think we get them. But you know, thank god my father carried mail on his back and his father was a coalminer my mother could barely speak english. You are in touch with folks, their anxieties and concerns want. People want to know you get them. Mr. Heath governor, in a few days there will be a debate in cleveland. Mr. Kasich lebron will be moderating it, i understand. Mr. Heath you got in the race late. A lot of your colleagues here. Some are pretty impressive folks. Why did you feel there was an opening for john kasich. You have run before. Why did you get in this time with such a large field . Mr. Kasich jack, look. I have received blessings, most of us here have been very, very blessed. When you get that way, you have to figure out what your purpose is in life to make the world a little better place. It took me a while to get in this because i didnt get in this just to do it. I got in it to win. If i didnt think i could win i wouldnt do it. The reason im doing it is frankly, i have been a servant in terms of government, you know, government responsibility, a lot of my adult life. I spent ten years in the private sector. I got a calling back to my state to help fix my state. Guess what. We went from the loss of 350,000 job to the gain of it. Our credit going up. People living in the shadows have hope. We cut taxes by five billion dollars. So you know, we diversified our economy, jack. The most importantening is give people a sense that we get them, everybody can be included and we liftsh, nobody cut out. Mr. Heath you have 30 seconds to address the voters. Mr. Kasich i have been listening. Balancing the budget. How are you going to do it. We did it. When i left washington, we had a five trillion surplus, the economy was booming. We cut taxes on risk taking and investments. So it is not about what i think we can do. It is about what i have already done. I served on the Armed Services committee and have Great Respect for senator graham. I was there when we changed the way the military operates to get the services to work together. So reform the pentagon. I have National Security experience. We went from eight billion in the hole to two billion in the black. For people in ohio, hope has come back to the buckeye state. Thank you, i love being here. Well see you soon. Mr. Heath thank you governor. As governor governor christie achieved Health Benefit reforms. Mr. Heath the question i asked someone earlier, governor, is a question about the president s, now maybe he regrets it, calling isis a j. V. Team and now they are a bigger threat. Do you have a plan to take on that direct terrorist organization and defeat them or is it a movement that we have to be realistic, it will be here longer than we may want . Mr. Christie i think the answer is yes to both. This will be a long battle whether you are talking about isis or alqaeda or the other radical Islamic Forces across the world. The plan has to be very direct and clear. We need to get our allies in the middle east engaged in a major way. The jordanians and the saudis, they want to be engaged and believe this is an exostential threat to them. We need to make sure they are armed and trained. We need to share human and electronic intelligence with them and we need to provide them air cover and cooperation to make their attempts to target these folks correct. Mr. Heath you may get the energy award of campaigning in New Hampshire. I heard a lot about your town hall events. I hear you stay late and answer the questions. Thats the point. Mr. Christie im like the bad relative you invite for thanksgiving. I come early and stay late. Mr. Heath of all the candidates in New Hampshire are staying long and often. But some people that observed this say that your best time to run may have come and gone. I would like to know what makes a lot of you tick to make such a big decision. Mr. Christie are you saying im washed up . Mr. Heath no. But if you are going to open the door, i will take it. You have gone through battles in new jersey. Im sure it is a Family Decision for all the candidates. It is an incredible undertaking. Why now . What was the decision in your house. Mr. Christie no one should run for president until they can look in the mirror and say when they are ready. When folks approached me i was honored but i wasnt ready. I had been governor about 16 months in new jersey. I was not ready. So i look this time, four years later in the mirror, and everything that happened to me in the last four years, good and bad, made me better, made me better prepared. The decision is about whether in your heart and mind you are ready to lead the greatest country in the world during some of the most difficult times we ever faced. If that answer is not unequivocally yes, you have no business going to the American People to ask for their vote. Im ready. Mr. Heath ready for 30 seconds . Mr. Christie sure. I come from one of the bluest states in america. 42 years since new jersey elected a republican to the United States senate. Longest streak of any state in the nation. In 2009, against an incumbent that outspent me 33 million to 11 million, we beat him and took on a budget deficit, balanced it, cut taxes, and now after eight years of no private sector job growth in new jersey before i became governor. 192,000 new jobs. And most importantly the people in new jersey know when i say im going to do something, ill do it. When i say i wont, i wont. We need that kind of clarity in the United States again and in the oval office. I thank for your vote. As governor of new york government pataki lived through the worst terrorist attack on american soil on september 11, 2001. Mr. Heath governor, that introduction is where i was going to go. Seems like a lot of years ago. In some respects, i imagine for you and others, it seems like yesterday. Mr. Pataki it seems like yesterday. Mr. Heath how did it change your life . Mr. Pataki it changed it completely. On september 11 i was governor. It wasnt an abstract thing to see and hear about radical islam. I walked the streets, i could taste the dust and ash in the air. I comforted families that lost loved ones. I vowed that i would do, if i ever had the opportunity everything i could to protect us from radical islam and another terrorist attack. We are not doing that today. Isis poses a very clear threat to us. Not just with a major attack, but what they are doing here, tweeting, recruiting, jihaddists, you know, we just had the tragic incident in chattanooga. The Obama Administration says were going to not have our marines put on arms, they are going to take off their uniform. My view is very simple. We cannot bow down to islam anywhere. Certainly not in the United States. We should have our marines not take off their uniforms, but put on their guns. We should be proud to be here. We have to be proactive against isis in the middle east. I went back and read the september 11th commission report. Just a couple months ago. They had what we must do in the future to prevent another attack. They actually had a section that said if, for example, iraq becomes a failed state, and radical islam rises there, we have to use all of the might of america to destroy it. Well, today isis has training camps. We distributement centers, social media capability. Hundreds of millions of dollars people with western passports, we cant be passive. We have to arm the kurds directly. They are took place on the front line. Instead of telling egypt to get better on human rights, help their military fight isis and we should go in and destroy the recruiting centers before they have the chance to attack us here again. Mr. Heath quickly, lightning question. Is there a limit to Second Amendment protection in your mind . Mr. Pataki i dont think we should change the Second Amendment. The problem is Mental Health. We have to do a lot more to enforce Mental Health laws. Mr. Heath governor, 30 seconds. Mr. Pataki in my lifetime, i dont think i have ever seen americans more divided than today. A great republican president Abraham Lincoln said a house divided against itself cannot stand. We need to win this election. We need to do it not bipolar bipolarizing but by uniting the American People behind good, intelligent conservative limited government policies. I know i can do it because i did it three times in new york the most blue state in america, with more than three million democrats. We can win this election by bringing the American People together behind us. If i run, i promise you i will do that and take americas Government Back for the people. Thank you. Mr. Heath thank you governor. While jeb bush was governor of florida. 80,000 businesses were started and 1. 3 million jobs created. Mr. Heath governor bush. Common core curriculum is controversial in New Hampshire. Should state and local School Boards reject National Educational standards . Mr. Bush they should. States should create standards they should be state driven and locally implemented. The federal government should have no role in the creation of standards, no role in the creation directly or indirectly. The federal governments role in education ought to be to provide support for states that wont reform. Government jindal created some amazing reform in louisiana. His money cannot be used to enhance the reforms. The federal government should not have a say on standards, we need higher standards, school choice, ending social promotion, a plan to make sure more than a third of the kids are college or career ready. Mr. Heath i differ than my sister greatly on politics. You have a brother that is wellknown, and a dad, a father that was president. Do you feel when you talk with voters you have to differentiate yourself philosophically from the former president s . Mr. Bush people get this. By your point, around the kitchen table, your sister doesnt agree with you on things, and so i have a different view than my brother. My dad is probably the most perfect man alive. It is hard for me to be critical of him. I have a tshirt that says, the jeb swag store that says my dad is the greatest man alive. If you dont like it, i will take you outside. Mr. Heath a final word . Mr. Bush first of all, im impressed with the caliber of the people that are running for president. Every person that participated in this debate is better than any of the democrats running. So im honored to be a candidate and believe that we are on the verge of the greatest time to be alive. We have to fix a few things. If we do, this country will take off and i have the skills to make it happen. Mr. Heath that is it. Thank you very much, everyone.

They would have tripled their money. They could have paid the pensions in full and got back to the 13th check at the end of the year in addition to the 12 year to.
