TRANSCRIPTION
MCCAIN: "Let's have transparency. The American people have the right to know which firms will be helped, what selection will be based on, and how much that help will cost. The details of the process and the transaction itself should be made available online for public scrutiny. And as Congress examines this package, I would encourage all members to set aside the pressures of Washington and Wall Street. As we determine what to do, we need to put our country first and focus what's best for Main Street. It's the excess and greed of Washington and Wall Street that got us in this situation to start with. We must help keep people in their homes, we must protect American's savings, and we must keep students with loans in school. What we need in any reform is accountability for Wall Street, and accountability for government, and a commitment to protecting people's homes and life savings, and restoring our financial markets. Times are tough, times are tough for our economy, and I expect more tough economic news before the election. My commitment to the American people is to fix the Wall Street mess, reform Washington, and most importantly enact a pro-growth agenda to create jobs for Americans and get this country back on track. That's what I promise you."

Trust no one.

[tingleairey]

F'reals. That's just shoddy. I don't know whether to trust the title screen or the date in the video title and the info.

[mrtobo]

Yeah. I used to have respect for the diligence and integrity in your work. Not anymore.

[sewerface]

Title screen is wrong! Disgraceful!
