 Ladies and gentlemen the president of the United States. Thank you very much. Thank you all very much and Thank you very much George You've been a great governor and this fall you've been a terrific quarterback for the Republican team and I'd like to add a special thank you to seven of the best darn high school bands in America who did yourselves proud now Will you promise me you'll all do America proud and just say no to drugs Well now you just did me proud. I have a special hello to Frank visco David Dryard Jerry Lewis John Paul Stark Tom Halleck and a big American hello to a great patriot and a very funny guy Yaakov smirnoff. I see I've even got some fraternity brothers in the cloud TKE yes It's great to be here in California because you know, there's no place like home as my time draws to a close in Washington people in the White House are always asking me mr. President. Why are you humming that old song? Well, I tell him I just can't get the words out of my mind Yes, when January the 20th rolls around I'm going to be asking every one of you to open up that golden gate because California here I come Thank you, but you know you know I'll feel just fine about leaving Washington Because nobody knows better than I do Just how capable are those two hands? I expect will be taking the wheel come the 20th of January. I Can't think of a man alive today was more prepared take a hold of America's gear shift Rev up America's engine and then downshift into America's future than my good friend and valued colleague George Bush I'm here today though to talk to you about the great Republican ticket from the White House to the State House and Make sure everybody who shares our hopes for the future turns out to vote on November 8th we Need people in the Senate who will work for a thriving economy a strong national defense and the Preservation of our family values and that means re-electing one of America's very best senators California's own Pete Wilson We need people in the house who will work for a strong national defense The Democratic congressman from this area is a man who has bragged openly About opposing more military funding than any congressman in history and he's been in Washington for 24 long liberal years I want to ask you all a question. Is that the kind of thing the good people of San Bernardino believe? I didn't think so No, San Bernardino needs a congressman who will do his constituents credit a man who understands that his country Needs to stand tall and fight for freedom well There's only one guy in this race who will do that and if you'll agree with me He's going to be the next congressman from the 36th district John Paul star Now the liberals are saying they are on our side Well, I remember the last time they were set on our time in 1980 and when that happened all of America told them loud and clear get off our back We've been slashing tax rates and liberating the American economy from the confiscation of the malaise years When we came into office Families everywhere were reeling from tax rates that were draining this nation's initiative but we took the money out of the grasping hands of the Washington bureaucrats and Put it back in the wallets of the people from whom they confiscated it in the first place the working men and women of America Since our expansion began We've created more than 18 million new jobs We reduced the unemployment rate to nearly the lowest it's been in 14 years and today a Greater proportion of what is called our potential workforce That means everybody Male and female from the age of 16 and up Including all students and retirees Yes, a greater proportion of that workforce 62.7% is employed today That's ever more than ever before in the history of the United States Now we didn't do all that know my friends You did it you and every hard-working man and woman in this country But George and Pete and John Paul and every Republican understands is that there's no greater force for change No greater engine for progress than the American people. We just turned you loose and got out of your way We we cleared away the wrecks the liberals left behind Waved the green flag fired the starter pistol and watched you go to the races And oh my what a glorious sight it has been We also went to work on our nation's defenses We're once again respected in the world our armed forces are strong and America is at peace we and our NATO allies stood firm in the face of Soviet missiles Pointing at the hearts blood of Europe and Asia and mr. Gorbachev got the message He did business because he knew we meant business and my friends we still mean business None of our triumphs no not one would have happened if our opponents had had their way There would have been no INF treaty or rollback in Afghanistan or democratic revolutions around the globe They oppose rebuilding our military defenses And even today they want to cancel and eliminate two supercarrier task forces from the navy in fact In fact what they've planned for the navy is so bad that by the time they get through Yes, if well Michael may have to row the boat ashore Yes If they did half of what they threatened to do to our defenses, we'd all be in the tank Just just listen to what they said no to They opposed the liberation of granada They opposed the blow we struck against terrorist libya They oppose our policy of helping freedom fighters advance the cause of liberty around the world Well, george bush and i did all these things and i tell you proudly right now We'd both do every single one of them over again Of all the changes we've made The one i may be happiest about is this Our young men and women are once again proud to wear their country's uniform And because of them Over these past eight years Not one inch on this good earth has fallen to the communists Another area where we differ is our understanding of the constitution We've appointed serious minded judges who respect the constitution and know the meaning of the word punishment Their judicial nominees in the state of massachusetts and in the state of california have been you might say for the birds Now those the kinds of judges we want on the united states supreme court Well, this is very important because unlike the state of california The constitution does not give american citizens the opportunity to vote supreme court justices out of office And i don't think america wants our highest court To look the way the california court did before the people of this great state rose up and said no more no way no how california learned that when judges don't do their jobs right Criminals feel like they can run rampant Well violent crime has fallen significantly in this country since 1981 Because we put criminals on notice Make one false move and the next sound you hear is the clang of the jail cell door slamming shut My friends We believe there are no citizens more precious Than the men and women who guard us our state and local police And george bush and i stand united behind them We must protect them from those vicious killers Now the other fellow opposes the death penalty But as for us We believe with all the conviction we have that a crack dealer with a machine gun Who murders a police officer in the line of duty should receive the death sentence now Now our opponents have just said they're in the tradition of f dr. Franklin down on a roosevelt jfk And harry truman But the truth is they're so far out in left field Even kirk gibson couldn't hit a ball that deep Folks george's opponent is no harry truman and he's no f dr Yes, ladies and gentlemen when our liberal friends run from their own agenda They're just acknowledging that where they want to take america america doesn't want to go Cause us as huckle fairy barry finn might have said we bit we've been there already Now i promise i promise you we won't take you back there and i warn you they will All that we've achieved everything can be undone faster than you can say pledge of allegiance if our liberal friends are successful Remember how my successor in here in california Undid so many of our accomplishments before george duke majin wrote him out on a rail We don't want that to happen again this year And remember what happened after the 1980 census when a democratic congressman redesigned california And thwarted the will of the people by gary mandering the state into a map that looked like a piece of shattered glass We actually had more Voting votes for republican congressman than they had but they invented they They elected more democratic congressmen because of the way they have divided up this state in their gary mandering We don't want that to happen again this year And that means voting for a great slate of republican candidates at the state and local levels Like paul woodruff and bill lennard david masters and brian caroll We've got to do all we can to get our message out We must guard against complacency and overconfidence This election isn't over yet not by a long shot And as winston churchill once said we must wage war until victory is won Remember it takes the president and congress working together to move america forward So if we have to ride two horses at once Shouldn't they both be headed in the same direction? Well now let me take a little opinion poll of my own Will you make sure to turn out for the republican ticket on november 8? Will you give our next president the senate he needs by voting for pete wilson on november 8? Will you give the next president the congress he needs? And the congressman you deserve by casting your ballot for john paul stark on november 8? Will you vote to reelect david drier and jerry lewis on november 8? And will you give california a bright future of economic opportunity and family values by voting for bill lennard paul woodruff david masters and brian caroll You just made my day ladies and gentlemen america needs the strength The vision and the true grit of george bush and pete wilson And with your help and god's grace We'll all have caused a cheer just one week from today As we head into the final lap it's time to push the pedal to the metal and shift into overdrive You know some people are saying it's time for a change Well ladies and gentlemen We are the change the change began eight years ago You made my day again so now Now my fellow californians I want to ask you to do me one small favor Will you go out there and Win one for the gipper Thank you all very much and god bless you all I started my career here 30 years ago right here at the orange show stadium mr. President Mr. President I'd like to think of it as you being in a long tough race for the past eight years And it's come time for you to make a pit stop And turn the car over to vice president george bush And george bush will go on to Win the race and the checkered flag And become the next president of the united states And I'd like to give you mr. President Your checkered flag And god bless
