RUDY GIULIANI: [...] John has outlined a plan to help get people through this crisis. With what the president is doing today, putting $250B into the banks, John McCain is also making sure that Americans who can’t afford their mortgage, Americans who are seniors who have to take some money out of their 401K or IRA or are forced to do it–that they’re all gonna get relief as well.
So I think the plan that he’s announcing today reaches right to the core of the people who are the most concerned about our economy, people who [...] are really stretched.
HARRY SMITH: [W]hy should, in three weeks, people entrust the economy to another republican administration?
GIULIANI: Well, I mean the reality is John McCain is John McCain. We’re not voting for a republican or a democrat. We’re voting for John McCain or Barack Obama. John McCain has the experience. John McCain has led [...] our country through crisis before. Barack Obama never has. John McCain has a much clearer vision of the economy. He’s not going to raise taxes, not going to cut off trade with high tariffs they way Barack Obama wants to do. Barack Obama is talking about the kinds of things Herbert Hoover did.
[Smith laughs]
