 in attendance. Participants in the forum and others. That word old-fashioned I have a suspicion that's because I'm here. I'd like to make this a pep rally for the Wolfpacks victory tomorrow. I have to tell you I love outdoor rallies like this. Once during the campaign some fellas under a sunland getting a tan and finally there in sunny California indoors a friend said to him one day I can tell you Mr. President I don't see any hecklers the type that you're confronted with yes the president of the United States much of it not what you usually go there for but to do some of the same thing we've been doing here but as you know I just came over from the university and I understand that you've been watching that I I wasn't there to enroll I'm holding out for a football scholarship but you've got a calm stock load of good candidates this year. Governor List and Barbara Kucanovic are two of those good candidates and I'm delighted to be here today and to show my support for them. With political leaders like governor and Barbara we can change the direction of this country. We can replace the failed policies that I was talking about over there. I'm not going to make a long speech you had to hear one of those already. But you know one thing that I didn't talk about there that I want to mention here is that you know the high unemployment rate is an inherited disease and it's been worsening for a long long time and the big spenders that I was talking about the same people who brought us high taxes and inflation and so forth they're the carriers of this disease and I believe the American people are going to turn a good number of them out this fall and I've pointed out that the economic problem to the result of a couple of decades of their fine-tuning economically. Now they're trying to hang the 9.8% unemployment rate or whatever it will be tomorrow and everyone is expecting to probably go up some more and they're trying to hang it on us. Well I'm willing to be fair. Unemployment is now 9.8%. It was 7.4% when we took office and I'll take responsibility for the 2.4% if they'll take responsibility for the 7.8%. If it should go up till 10 tomorrow well then I'll take responsibility for 2.6 but I think if we can really communicate and that calls for all of us and all of you here if we can keep reminding people of the things that we have done those interest rates the 25% tax cut which they're still trying to take away from us they're still claiming at that 10% in July but it'll be over a couple of dead bodies that I know is mine and we're cutting the growth in in regulations as I also said in the speech and I think that the people will stick with us if if they can see that ray of hope and realize that what we're doing is the way to get out that desperate problem of unemployment because it's caused by the thing we're most successful at controlling and that is inflation how does that come about well with inflation the interest rates have to go up but to keep pace with it the fellow that lends the money has got to get back enough dollars in addition to his interest to make up for the loss of value in those dollars in the decade of the 70s in which they were in charge that dollar of 1970 was only worth 47 cents by 1980 now what this means to people with insurance policies with people with savings and so forth but that's why the interest rates had to go where they are well when the interest rates went up people couldn't buy automobiles because of the high interest rate couldn't get to take mortgages on homes for the same reason those two industries alone can cause a recession of the size that we have right now because these fans out appliances that don't get made and don't get sold when homes aren't built glass rubber steel all of them follow down the line with the automobile market dried up so I know that we have to get out of here and get in that airplane but I'm not going to go on making a speech but if if I said that just once if somebody has been thinking sometime that I had a chance I'd like to ask him well for at least one and I know they're going to take us out of here if somebody has a question fire away thank you very much I have to tell you I just told the head of our security unit here I saw them kind of put him under surveillance and watch him very closely and I said you were watching the wrong guy if you were expecting violence now and then now and then you have more fun than you do at other times but I want to tell you something clear something up though that I referred to to him because of that fellow that got up on the other side of the room and I thought he was clapping for that you know man was crying after happens to be a staff member of congressman guy Vanderjack and he had stood up hoping that if he did this everyone would stand up and start applauding and drown that fellow out and none of us knew that until it was all over and even guy was telling the press on the way he was when he heard it was one of his staff members he was going to go to fire him but it turned out just fine now everybody knows that my book is a hero I'm even glad he failed because he would have shut both of us up well thank you very much hey yes a governor's got to have a lieutenant governor I want to thank you there's a million times it's wonderful everyone wants to know how to get out of Washington and back into the real world
