Hello BigCampaign,We were not able to get a tracker to McCain's exotic event
today in the Everglades. However, we were able to monitor his press avail
via streaming video. Below are notes from the event.
*Big Highlights*
- McCain says Bush did not overstep his authority by wiretapping
- McCain spent most of the event defending his opposition to
Everglades preservation bills; also his cap-and-trade proposal and
catastrophe insurance
- McCain also took questions on unemployment #s and yesterday's report
on Iraq
Everglades, FL: McCain Press Avail 06/06/08
Background Details
- Gov. Crist and Congressman Diaz-Balart were with McCain.
- Small- to mid-sized gaggle of national/traveling and local press
- Event took place on site of the Everglades Safari Park near Miami.
McCain did not appear to weather the heat too well—appeared very sweaty.
Opening Remarks
MCCAIN: On the topic of FISA. I've always said I'd obey any law that's
passed by the US congress. Right now the courts are taking up issues of
powers of President. Unfortunately FISA bill is hung up in the House –
hopefully they'll be able to get something good done. Our ability to counter
terrorists acts is impeded by our failure to pass the FISA bill. Therefore
it is a priority. I believe the telecoms companies shouldn't be
retroactively held liable for cooperating with our govt's requests to
monitor communications from and with other countries. We need to pass the
FISA bill that went through the Senate – this clears up a lot of the
ambiguities.
Press Avail
- Q1) KELLY O'DONNELL: Prior to this revamping of FISA, do you feel
Pres Bush overreached his authority?
MCCAIN: No. one court said he was legal in what he did. Other courts have
said he was not. the whole issue can be resolved by passing this FISA bill.
I'm not interested in going back… let's move forward. Let's address the
challenge we face today to counter individuals that threaten this country.
- Q2) Dems have been critical of you for not supporting the WRDA
(Water Resources Development Act)? They said you didn't get it, that it
wasn't an appropriations bill; it was an authorization bill.
MCCAIN: I'm astonished that they are critical of me. Yeah it was a bill will
900 projects on it, with $58B already on the books. They added another $23B.
this is the game in DC. And then the appropriators pick which one of those
projects that are authorized to fund. That's how you get museums funded
rather than the Everglades restored. I'm glad that Feingold and I worked on
it. And McCaskill. I'm disappointed that Obama became part of the same old
system, not only authorizing pork-barrel projects but seeking 10s of
millions of dollars in earmarks in his short time in the Senate. They don't
get it. The American people are fed up with wasting money and out of control
spending. We've spent trillions that have exceeded our budget.
- Q3) That water bill as an example. If you're elected, the
authorizations committee isn't going to change. How are you going to work
with them?
MCCAIN: I'll make them famous. They'll know their names. The Americans
people resoundingly reject this practice which has mortgage our childrens
futures.
- Q4) jobless numbers. How can you convince Americans that you're
better to help than Obama?
MCCAIN: I should've mentioned that in my intro comments. This is the worst #
in 22 years, I'm told. Americans are hurting.
o (1) Get spending under control.
o (2) We need to give people FHA loans so they can stay in their homes,
o (3) don't raise taxes, eliminate our dependence on foreign oil because
it's hurting us on gas prices,
o we have to restore trust and confidence in our govt ability to restrain
spending.
o (4) Invest in job training and education programs to help people that
have lost their jobs or those that are about their jobs.
o It's going to require change, the right kind of change. Obama wants to
go back to big govt of 1960s. we will recover. The question is how long and
how hard it's gonna be. I have fundamental optimism about the economy.
- Q5) What's your position on whether Jersualem should be the
undivided capital of Israel? Reaction to Obama's comments on the subject.
MCCAIN: I can't react to every comment by Obama because it will probably
change, as it did with sitting down with Ahmadenijad. Jerusualem is
undivided, it's the capital. We should move our embassy to Jerusalem before
anything else happens. The subject will be addressed by the Israeli govt and
people.
- Q6) Response to Obama's criticism that cap and trade program didn't
go far enough? And what more would you do?
MCCAIN: I've been heaving engaged on this issue since 2001. I know of none
on Obama's part. I have fought this administration tooth and nail about
this. I've done everything I can to make my constituents and America aware
of the problems of global warming. McCain – Lieberman was not perfect, but
it's far better than a carbon tax.
- Q7) Reporter apologizes for hoarse; stumbles.
MCCAIN: – I get that way myself.
- Q7) How do you get money to Everglades. Crist has lobbied DC far for
this in Washington.
MCCAIN: There are 900 projects proposed in this bill. Isn't the Everglades
of sufficient urgency that it shouldn't be tied with all these other
projects, like museums? It should be a stand-alone appropriation. I'll
encourage Congress to care. I'll try to educate the American people that
we're all in this together.
- Q8) follow up on emissions trading. Obama's criticism is not about
the overall aim of your plan, but rather the plan auction permits to
factories instead of giving them away. How do you feel about that?
MCCAIN: I have worked in bipartisan effort for years. We don' come up with
perfect solutions. I know of no record of Obama's. I'd like to see him come
up with his own proposal and I'll examine it. I am committed to this issue
and have a clear record, so people can have confidence.
- Q9) On employment numbers, everything you talk about are long-range
plans. Do you think there is short-term relief, like extension of
unemployment benefits and insurance benefits?
MCCAIN: Yes I think we have to do all of those things. Also, This brings me
to the gas tax holiday. All I wanted to do was give Americans a little
relief. Obama opposed that as a "gimmick." I've talked to a lot of
Americans, especially older Americans, who wish they had this. I think it's
out of touch with average Americans not to want this. We need to examine
every option, short-term and long-term.
- Q10) Start of hurricane season, and Floridians are worried about
skyrocketing property insurance. Obama campaign says they support national
catastrophic insurance and say you oppose it.
MCCAIN: I discussed this in the primary with straight talk. The bill that
passed the House would never pass the Senate. We will establish risk pools
and ways to provide insurance to all states at risk of hurricanes. I don't
think it's fair just to do this for the state of FL. We'll come up with
comprehensive insurance that will take care of a risk for all people of Gulf
states.
- FOLLOWUP- but you voted against the WRDA bill.
MCCAIN: And I'm so happy that I did. It was littered and filled with pork
projects. And there's a ton of projects that have been authorized that
haven't been funded. We've fought to get it prioritized but it's not.
- Q11) yesterday's report on Iraq. What is your feeling about that and
does that change your early support on Iraq?
MCCAIN: Every intelligence agency in the world concluded that Saddam had
WMDs and was planning to use them. The sanctions were breaking down,
American planes were being shot down, there was a multibillion oil for food
scandal in the UN, the world is better without Hussein. The problem was the
early mishandling of the war. I warned against that. I proposed the strategy
that is now succeeding. Obama has never acknowledged this. And has never
arranged a meeting with Petraeus, which is especially bad since he doesn't
have experience in military. We're winning. If we'd done what Obama had
wanted, we'd have had chaos and genocide in the region and elevation of
Iran. I'll stand on my record and I'm proud of it and I'm proud of the
people serving who will tell obama he was wrong.
- Q12) Can Congressman Diaz and Gov. Crist comment on McCain's
opposition to the WRDA bill?
o CONGRESSMAN DIAZ: McCain has always been consistent. it was a $23B bill
out of which $2B was for Everglades. McCain has been consistent not
supporting pork. Everglades was part of a big bill. McCain has been very
consistent on Everglades restoration.
o CRIST: McCain is right. If they'd been able to separate it out and
prioritize it, much more important to a museum in MS…
o MCCAIN: You want to say something in Spanish?
o DIAZ: [in Spanish] "gang leader" on the restoration of Everglades. He's
been very consistent.
o MCCAIN: "I agree with every word he just said."
