SECURITY AND MEDICARE WE DON'T
DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
I WOULD DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO
SAVE THIS COUNTRY.
UNDER MS. FIORINA'S
LEADERSHIP, HEWLETT-PACKARD GREW
TO BECOME THE 11TH LARGEST
COMPANY IN THE UNITED STATES.
MR. HEATH: WHAT CAN WASHINGTON
DO TO PREVENT ANOTHER FINANCIAL
CRISIS LIKE THE ONE WE SAW IN
2008?
MS.
FIORINA: THIS IS A CLASSIC
CASE OF WHERE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
FAILED.
THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN REFORMED.
25 FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
WERE SUPPOSED TO BE RESTORED,
THEY DIDN'T.
DR. FRANK HAS CAUSED 10 WALL ST
BANKS TO BRING TO FAIL TO BECOME
FIVE EVEN MORE POWERFUL WALL
STREET BANKS AND THOUSANDS OF
COMMUNITY BANKS HAVE GONE OUT OF
BUSINESS.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF CRONY
CAPITALISM.
WE NEED TO REVIEW. FRANK JUST
LIKE WE NEED TO REPEAL
OBAMACARE.
BUT WE ALSO NEED TO REFORM
FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC.
THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT BE IN
THE MORTGAGE BUSINESS.
AND, HAVE FEDERAL AGENCIES THAT
ARE SUPPOSED TO BE REGULATING
THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM BE
CONFIDENT -- THE COMPETENT.
NOT, HAVE FEDERAL REGULATORS WHO
ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MONITORING
THE BANKING SYSTEM WATCHING
PORNOGRAPHY ALL DAY LONG.
THIS ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE, IT
JUST NEVER SEEMS TO HAPPEN.
MR. HEATH: SENATOR GRAHAM HAD
SOME PRETTY SOBERING WORDS OF
IRAQ, SYRIA, TO COMMITMENT.
I THINK -- TROOP COMMITMENT.
I CAN'T
EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE
WHAT IT IS LIKE WHAT ISIS IS
DOING TO CAPTIVES.
WE NOW HAVE LOAN WILL TERRORISM
IN PLACES LIKE CHATTANOOGA
TENNESSEE, FORT DIX.
DO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE THE
STOMACH TO GO TO WAR OVER IN
SYRIA OR IRAQ AGAIN TO FIGHT IS
EVIL?
-- TO FIGHT THIS EVIL?
MS. FIORINA: PRESIDENT HAS
PROVIDED A FALSE CHOICE.
EITHER YOU AGREE WITH WHAT I AM
DOING OR NOT DOING?
WE MUST HAVE THE STRONGEST
MILITARY ON THE FACE OF THE
PLANET AND EVERYONE HAS TO KNOW
IT.
WE NEED TO REFORM BUREAUCRACY
AND THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.
I WOULD MAKE TWO PHONE CALLS AND
MY FIRST DATE, THE FIRST ONE TO
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU AND THE
SECOND WILL BE TO THE SUPREME
LEADER OF IRAN.
REALISTICALLY, HE WOULD NOT TAKE
MY PHONE CALL BUT HE WOULD GET
THE MESSAGE.
THE MESSAGE IS, AND TELL YOU
ALLOW FULL, ANYTIME ANYWHERE
INSPECTIONS, WE WILL MAKE IT AS
DIFFICULT AS POSSIBLE TO -- AS
DIFFICULT AS POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO
MOVE MONEY AROUND THE GLOBAL
FINANCIAL SYSTEM.
I KNOW THAT OUR ALLIES NEED A
MESSAGE FROM US THAT WE WILL
STAND WITH THEM AND OUR
ADVERSARIES NEED A MESSAGE FROM
US AS WELL THAT WE WILL CONFRONT
YOU.
IN TERMS OF ISIS, WE HAVE ALLIES
WHO KNOW THIS IS THEIR FIGHT.
KING ABDULLAH OF JORDAN, A GOOD
MAN, I HAVE KNOWN HIM MANY
YEARS.
I KNOW THE SAUDI ROYAL FAMILY.
THE EGYPTIANS, THE KURDS, THE
IRAQIS, ALL -- THE
BAHRAINIS,
ALL THESE PEOPLE KNOW ISIS IS
THEIR ENEMY.
I WOULD HOLD A CAMP DAVID SUMMIT
AND ASK THEM WHAT THEY NEED FROM
US.
WE NEED TO SHOW LEADERSHIP,
RESOLVE, SUPPORT, OR OUR ALLIES
WILL LOSE COURAGE.
MR. HEATH: YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS.
MS. FIORINA: I STARTED OUT AS A
SECRETARY IN A LITTLE REAL
ESTATE FIRM, WENT ON TO LEAD THE
LARGEST TECHNOLOGY COMPANY IN
THE WORLD AND WENT ON TO RUN FOR
PRESIDENT.
OUR NATION IS AT A PIVOTAL TIME.
WHATEVER YOUR ISSUE OR CAUSE
THAT YOU HOPE WOULD BE RESOLVED,
THE POLITICAL CLASS HAS LET YOU
DOWN.
MARGARET THATCHER ONCE SAID, I
AM NOT CONTENT TO MANAGE THE
DECLINE OF A GREAT NATION.
THESE ARE IN LINE.
WE NEED -- NEITHER AM I.
WE NEED A PRESIDENT UNDERSTANDS
THE WORLD ECONOMY, BUREAUCRACY,
HOW TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE AND
CUT THEM DOWN TO SIZE.
