Point of the marriage. Justice scalias opinion was caustic and personal. I have you think been on panels for he has said this has a corrosive effect on the profession. You agree . Miguel i think it encourages people in the trenches who are not known for being civil to each other for thinking that done,s a good thing to be and the one thing about Justice Scalia is he can write prose in a way that is enjoyable and you can have a guilty laugh out of. Where most people try to emulate him in the discovery disputes. So, it may be that people take their cue from that. It is not helpful to the profession. Adam maybe it elevates the quality of the incivility. [laughter] Martin Dempsey the other thing that wasnt nicole the other thing that was surprising to me, that was a heated oral argument. A heated time when the judge were giving their opinions. It was one of the only times ive been in court and then uncomfortable. This question seems to be a shouldnt you executed because somebody is trying to ban the Death Penalty . Is the besthat thing for society, is it to make it more heated or to try to have a more civilized dialogue . Dont you think that disturbed the chief justice . Was this line were the chief justice said we are going to give you more time because we have taken up more of your time than usual. To be fair, everything that had been bottled up the day before blew up the next day. Him accusing the inmate of being part of an organized group and on the other hand accusing himayor ar of being an outright liar. Worst oralably the argument you have seen at the Supreme Court in several decades. The chief justice seemed uncomfortable, but think of how the chief justice would have handled that. He would have stopped it. He would have gone no. Argument where i was covering five people coming at the same time. It basically goes one at a time. Give the man a chance. He had a different manner to intervene. I dont think chief Justice Roberts would do that. Job ofas done a good trying to control the court. Sotomayorwith justice he has had to do traffic. Were almost out of time. I have been asked to read the following script, so i am dutifully going to do so. Thank you for coming to program name.

His remarks are an hour and 40 minutes. Good evening i remember the first time i heard him speak. This is refreshing. I know he will tell it like it is. Am the chair of the boston republican committee. You have never been to one of , please come and see us. We have some great speakers. And we will welcome you. I am going to turn this microphone over to governor christie. Gov. Christie it is great to be here tonight. I first want to introduce the best thing that happened to me during my four years at the university of delaware. I came out with a bachelors degree of Political Science and a wife, the first lady of new jersey, mary pat christie. And tell you, one of the things i have enjoyed the most so far about this campaign is the fact that mary pat and i have been able to meet so many extraordinary people. And when i go back to new jersey, people ask me all the time, what is it like to campaign for president of the United States in places like New Hampshire, iowa, and south carolina. I tell people all the time it will renew your confidence in american democracy. That was the first thing i thought about when i came around the corner from the car and saw all of you down here at the bottom of that little incline. And america should see this, and i hope they do, because here we are, on an august evening, on a wednesday night, and so many folks from New Hampshire are out here tonight to listen to a candidate for president of the United States, and to try to help make your decision about who the republican nominee should be and who the next president of the United States should be. People get cynical about our government, we all do sometimes, and man, we earn it. But this is what they should see. How engaged americans are in the way they are going to be governed. I wish my oldest son andrew was here tonight. He continues, when i come home, to ask me questions about what it is like to run for president. He should see this tonight. This is what it is like to run for president. Thank you for being here. Thank you for being here. There is a little guy in a yellow shirt waving at me. Dont want to disappoint him. Thank you, buddy. I want to leave the rest of the time for you to ask me questions. I have done a bunch of these town Hall Meetings in new jersey. Over 130 in the time i have been governor. Some of you have seen those on youtube or on the computer. They tend to be somewhat raucous affairs at times. I am much more couple answering your questions and finding out what is on your mind. Here are two things i want to talk about. If you watch the debate almost two weeks ago now, and i assume that if you are here you probably watched the debate only 24 million of our fellow americans were tuned in that night. If you remember the interaction i had with evan or huckabee, i want to read the governor huckabee, i want to revisit that for a second. It was a civilized its agreement and exchange. I thought that was great. We have differing opinions on this issue. Governor huckabee came up to me on the commercial that is the stuff you really wanted to see, by the way. You are watching fox make a lot of money from commercials. They should have given you an option to pay a little more and watch what we are doing. Governor huckabee came up to me and said, thanks for such a civilized exchange. I said to him, i have known mike for a while. Mike, you are civilized to me, and i will be civilized to you. That is how it should be. We were an hour and five minutes or so into that debate. Here is why it is a problem. 71 of the federal budget today, 71 is being spent by entitlements and debt service. We spend the overwhelming amount of time except for that question on the other 29 . Why is that . Politicians are scared to talk to you about it. We have to reform the entitlement system because the government has failed you on entitlements. The government told you if you paid into the system, they keep it in a trust fund and that money would be kept there for you until it was time for you to retire and then it would be paid back to you with interest. You could help to support your retirement. Here is some bad news, everybody, that you already know. There is no trust. There is no trust fund. The trust fund is filled with a stack of ious from the federal government. Since we fund the government, it is ious from ourselves to ourselves. Those are the worst. You have to pay yourself back. My disagreement with governor huckabee is he said we cant change entitlements because if we do, that will be absolutely lying and stealing by the government. I said to governor huckabee, here is the best new bad news. The line of stealing has occurred. This is a classic closing the barn door after the horse ran out. We have to get the horse back into the barn. It is unacceptable to allow what is happening to Social Security and medicare. I suggested the most detailed program, in fact the only Program Anyone has offered on entitlement program. This is hard to say you are the only person who has offered a plan when there are 16 other candidates in the rate, not in cloud not counting the five democrats. There is only one, and you are looking at him, who has put this forward. It is too scary to put for her other people because they are afraid you will get upset. I feel differently. I trust you. I think you already know the truth about this already. You know what needs to be done. You need to have a leader that says lets move in this direction and it and be trustful enough to tell you the truth. We need to raise the retirement age. When those programs were developed, peoples Life Expectancy was in the mid to late 60s. The average Life Expectancy of a woman in america is 83 years old. The average Life Expectancy in a man in america is 79 years old. A couple of ladies smiling. [laughter] a decade ago you had a sixyear lead on us. A decade later, it is down to a fouryearly. We are gaining on you. That for your vacation you were counting on, you may not get it. You may have to put up with us your entire life. The good news is we are living longer lies and better lies. It is a blessing that we have more time on this earth to share with our family and friends and to do so in good health. What it means for the systems is we are taking moneys out of these systems 1520 years longer than they were intended to have. It cant work. What do we need to do . Heres what i propose. We raise it two years and phase it in over the next five years. Eligibility would go up one month a year for the next 25 years. One month a year for the next 25 years. It means that people who were on Social Security now are not affected now. People who are not affected by Social Security who are close to Social Security may be affected by a month or two. That is all. It will help the solvency of the system for the young people who are here who maybe now are in their teens or early 20s. It will make the system available for them. I remember a young man coming up to me after a town hall meeting, he was 23 years old, fully me he had just got his first job out of college and he said im glad you are given with entitlements because i said that blanket deduction in my paycheck and i think, what a joke. Social security will not be there for me. We want him to feel confident in the fact that he is paying into a system that he will get Something Back in return if he needs it. That is the second point. I do the same thing with medicare. To your increase over 25 years. I said to a group of folks at a fundraiser of mine they said, what you mean by means testing for Social Security . It means none of you will get it. [laughter] if you are rich enough to be at this fundraiser, you are probably not going to get Social Security if i have my way. Heres what i mean. Lets be very specific. If you make over 200,000 a year in retirement income, and that means you have 4 million or 5 million, not counting your home, 4 million invested and thrown off income of 200,000 a year or more, the first thing i said he was congratulations. You have done a great job in your life. You have lived your life and had that kind of money saved. It is a great thing. I want to remind you that in this greatest country of the world that gave you the opportunity to do that. No place else in the world have you had as free and an unfettered opportunity to pick you mean like that wealth than you have in the United States. Here is the last part. If you are making that kind of money, that Social Security check make any difference in your lifestyle . It wont. Here is what Social Security is supposed to be about and the reason it was started. Security. It was supposed to be a supplement or peoples other plans of retirement or a safety net for people who worked hard and played by the rules and paid into the system. Because of the twists and turns that our lives sometimes take, they were going to grow old in poverty. We dont want anyone in the United States of america to grow old in poverty and have to choose between heat and food and rest. So security Social Security can provide that for those people who need to have a safety net underneath them. If we do not make these changes, that safety net may not be there for these folks. Harvard did a study that said Social Security will be broke in 78 years. We are not talking way off into the future. Lets contrast that with what secretary clinton says she wants to do. She wants to take the cap off of Social Security tax. She wants to say that you will pay fica tax on every nickel you make. It right now it is cap that 118,000 a year. You make more than that, you dont pay any more fica tax. The you really want to give the government, who lied to you install for you, more money and stole from you, more money . We are having this discussion because the government was in at and dishonest in the waiting it dealt with Social Security. Clintons solution is get it more. If you want to do that, lets take money away from Companies Rather than giving more money to government. I think that is a commonsense idea and i think it is the way conservative republicans think. We dont want to give the government more money. It does not make any sense. We will figure out a way washington, d. C. To spend it on Something Else and they will come back again and do you know the next thing mrs. Clinton will do . When she becomes president she will raise the tax rate as well, guaranteed. We just need a little more. It is only little if you are receiving, not if you are giving it. Then it is a lot more than a little. On medicare, same thing, 200,000 or more a year in income. Right now we subsidize your medicare premium 75 . For those folks come say we subsidize the premium 10 . It will save tens of billions of dollars a year if we give them a lower subsidy. They have the money to pay for it. Lets make those folks pay a little more for their health care so that medicare is there, fully subsidized, for those who really need it. Who otherwise would have to go to the emergency room to get their treatment, and we know that is the most ineffective and costly way for us to deliver health care. Either way, we will be paying for that, too, but at a much higher rate than what we paid with metal care. I talk about entitlement reform not because i want to, but because im a politician and i like to get votes and be elected and i know that its risky. I also know that if you arent running for the most important job in the world during a time when you are within seven or eight years of this longstanding, successful, Antipoverty Program from going broke, you had better talk about it or you have no business running for president of the United States. I hope you get more people in new boston who are in our primary, ask them. Dont let them get away with the old we will study it and looked at it. We looked at it plenty. Now it is time to dig your heels in and take a position. Tell the American People where you are at. That is what we need to do. [applause] thing i want to talk about is lawlessness. I have a different point of view than some on this because im a former federal prosecutor. Before i became governor for seven years, i was a United States attorney in new jersey. I was named u. S. Attorney by george w. Bush on september 10, 2001. A job i said yes to on september 10, 2001, changed a whole lot 24 hours later. 24 hours later, my wife did what she had been doing for many years. She drove to the train station. She took two train stations and made her way through the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan and walked to her jobs. Her job was two blocks from the World Trade Center. My younger brother did what he has been doing since a late 1980s. Got in a car, took a couple of trains, walked into the World Trade Center and walked to the floor do New York Stock Exchange where he had been working since he got out of college. When the first plane hit, mary pat said she could see out her window. Dont worry about it. They said it was a small commuter plane. You remember. While we were on the phone, the second plane hit the second building. She told me that the people in her office said to evacuate to the basement and that she would call me later. At that moment we had three children in our lives. Our son andrew, who was eight at the time, our daughter sarah, who was five at the time, and our son patrick. Patrick had just turned one year old. Those five and a half hours were the longest five and a half hours of my life, because 45 and a half hours i did not hear from her. One building fell, the other building fell, and there were reports of explosions and bombs that all turned out to be wrong, but i did not know that. I kept calling. I could not get her on the phone. Finally, five and a half hours later i got a phone call from a bar payphone telling me that she had made her way out of Lower Manhattan further uptown and was figuring out a way to get home. We figured out a way to get her home and think god, t my brother,oo. Our whole lives were changed and thank god, my brother, too. Our whole lives were changed that day. Lawlessness. The lack of respect for the laws of our country started in earnest that day. People so disregarded the law that they thought they could hijack airliners, fly them into buildings, kill thousands of people, and that they did so in the name of religion. My job from that moment forward was to make sure that lawlessness was ended. Was to enforce the law and to prevent any acts of terrorism on our watch again that would kill americans. I want to make sure you all understand. Lets remember for a second the gravity of the losses that day. If we gave a moment of silence for every lost soul on 9 11, just one minute, we know now it has been nearly 14 years since those attack. Those families have gone 14 years without their loved ones, husband or wife, son or daughter, brother or sister. If we gave one minute we would be more than willing to give a moment of silence. Heres what would happen. If we have a moment of silent for each and every one of those lost souls that day, we would be sitting here in silence until 9 45 p. M. On friday. Straight. If we gave each lost soul one minute. The families have had in years of silence from loved ones. See, i got into a spat with senator paul on the debate stage a little less civilized than my back and forth with governor huckabee, but only because senator paul decided to be uncivilized. Thats ok. We guys from new jersey are versatile. [laughter] we can be civilized if we need to be, and we can be less so if we need to be as well. The reason i was so direct with him is because i almost lost my loved ones that day. We lost a good friend of ours in our parish that day. He died in the World Trade Center. Our oldest sons best friends dad was killed that day and we have watched that young man grow up. Every year on his fathers birthday he puts his fathers picture as his cover picture on his Facebook Page and he writes underneath it, dad, we will never forget you. We cant forget his father, either. We can have other people in our country. We cannot have other people in our country who have to suffer the same fate these folks did. I care about Civil Liberties very much and i treasure our constitution, but we can protect our homeland and protect our Civil Liberties at the same time. What they did in washington dc to stop the nsa from collecting phone records has made the usa more vulnerable. Understand what they were doing. They were collecting phone records. They were not monitoring your email. None of that was happening. If you listen to senator paul, he would make you believe that was happening. None of it was happening. Do you know what happened . They collect these phone records, they match them up on a computer. If your phone number either called the number of a known terrorist or received a call from the number of a known terrorist, then, and only event, did someone like me and attorney goes to a court and ask for a war. Then, and only that ask for a warrant. Then, and only then, could we ask for a wiretap. That is because you are receiving calls from a known terrorist. With senator paul says get a warrant, that is how you do it that is what an ophthalmologist says about someone who knows nothing about the law. [applause] i dont blame him. They did not teach and that in ophthalmology school. They taught me that in law school. It is easy to say this stuff when you dont have responsibility of protecting the lives of the American People. I had that responsibility for seven years in my state. There was not a day when i didnt think about the fact that one of those airplanes took off from an airport in my state, and that is the most ethnically diverse state in america. Our state is a great way to hide, because you can find someone who looks and sounds like you anywhere in new jersey. We had to take this seriously. ,eople who are here illegally to commit crimes with impunity and hide because the president of United States refuses to enforce the law. We have states in this
