Gretchen Ertl—Reuters ## Transcript [00:00] Welcome to the Republican Presidential Debate. I have no [00:04] problem with being vetted. We need to repeal every rule [00:08] that Barack Obama has in terms of work in progress. What I [00:12] do have a problem with is being lied about. We actually, [00:16] yes, have to hold government officials accountable for their [00:19] performance. Five major agencies that I would eliminate. [00:22] I'll tell you about Wall Street. There's too much greed. The [00:25] IRS, the Department of Commerce, the Department of [00:28] Energy, the Department of Commerce and HUD. Marco [00:31] how is it a conservative, how is a conservative [00:35] to add a trillion dollar expenditure for the federal [00:38] government? If you raise the minimum wage, you're gonna [00:40] make people more expensive than a machine. Taxes too [00:43] high, wages too high. We're not gonna be able to compete [00:47] against the world. I hate to say it, but we have to leave it the [00:51] way it is. I would not raise it. If we do what's need to be [00:54] done. Tax reform, regulatory reform Fully utilize our energy [00:57] resources, repeal and replace Obama Care and modernize [01:01] higher education. Then we can grasp the potential on the [01:04] promise of this new economy. Lower taxes, lower [01:07] spending. I have rolled out a bold and simple flat tax. [01:11] 10 % for every American that would produce booming [01:14] growth. When you balance the budget and you cut taxes, [01:17] people get work. Mothers going to bed afraid For her [01:21] children's future. And the reason she's afraid for her [01:24] children's future is because we've had problems for a long [01:28] time. We have to stop illegal immigration. We need to [01:31] control our border just like people have to control who goes [01:34] in and out of their house. But we have no choice if we're [01:37] going to run our country properly and if we're going to be [01:41] a country If they've been law- abiding, they pay a penalty, [01:45] they get to stay. We protect the wall. Anybody else comes [01:48] over, they go back. But for the 11 million people, come- on [01:52] folks, we all know you can't pick them up and ship them [01:56] back across the boarder. It's a silly argument. You're luck in [01:57] Ohio that you struck oil, that's for one thing. Thank [02:02] you Donald for allowing me to speak at the debate, that's [02:04] really nice of you. Really appreciate that. 12 million illegal [02:07] immigrants took to send them back, 500, 000 a [02:12] month is just not possible. For million [02:17] of American's at home watching This. It is a very personal [02:21] economic issue, and I will say the politics of it will be very [02:24] very different if a bunch of lawyers or bankers were [02:27] crossing the Rio grand. Governor Bush, what is the biggest [02:31] threat facing America today today. It is, I'd say, it is Islamic [02:35] terrorism. I like, if Bouton wants to go in And [02:40] I got to know him very well because we were both on 60 [02:43] Minutes. We were stable mates, and we did very well that [02:45] night. One of the reasons I've said that I would not be [02:48] talking to Vladimir Putin right now, although I have met him [02:51] as well, not in a green room for a show, but in a private [02:54] meeting We're not going to be the world's policeman but [02:57] we sure as heck better be the world's leader. That's, there's [02:59] a huge difference, where without us leading, voids are [03:03] filled. The Egyptians, the Saudis, the Kuwaitis, the [03:07] Bahrainis, the Emiratis- [ NOISE ] The Kurds, all of these [03:11] people I know, by the way, understand ISIS is their fight, but [03:14] they must see leadership, support, and resolve from the [03:17] United States of America. America. Ronald Reagan was [03:19] strong but Ronald Reagan didn't [ CROSSTALK ] Ronald [03:21] Reagan walked away at Reykjavik. He walked away, he [03:24] quit talking when it was time to quit talking. [03:26] [ CROSSTALK ] How does she keep interrupting [03:28] everybody? [ LAUGH ] Can [03:33] you be a physical conservative if you don't conserve all of [03:37] the money? My 16 year olds, I worry about what their life [03:41] is gonna be like. I don't think we need an agitator in chief, [03:44] or a divider in chief. We need a Commander in Chief. What [03:48] ties Americans together is we are all the children of those [03:52] who risked everything. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4107835/republican-debate-fox-business-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4107835/republican-debate-fox-business-video/"},"headline":"Watch the Fourth Republican Debate in Just 4 Minutes","datePublished":"2015-11-11T05:31:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-05T08:39:54.253Z","description":"This short video shows the highlights from Tuesday's debate.","url":"https://time.com/4107835/republican-debate-fox-business-video/","keywords":["Debates","2016 Election","Rand Paul","ted cruz","jeb bush","Donald Trump","Dr. Benjamin S.
