you start sink in the poll __PUNCT__

do you __PUNCT__

giuliani __PUNCT__ i don't know if i __PUNCT__ schieffer __PUNCT__ __URL__ you made a mistak __PUNCT__

giuliani __PUNCT__ i would __PUNCT__

schieffer __PUNCT__ __URL__ the wai you chose not to contest those earli __PUNCT__

giuliani __PUNCT__ i __PUNCT__ schieffer __PUNCT__ __URL__ giuliani __PUNCT__ i believ the best strategi for us wa on where we concentr on florida __PUNCT__ given all the pro and con of each on of our race and the asset that we had __PUNCT__ the resourc we had __PUNCT__

the best chanc we had wa here in florida __PUNCT__ and i think that go to be proven correct on tuesdai __PUNCT__

schieffer __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ why do you __PUNCT__ what do you attribut thi drop in the poll to __PUNCT__ do __PUNCT__ it __PUNCT__ i mean __PUNCT__ becaus if it wasn't a mistak in tactic __PUNCT__ it would suggest that the more peopl_found out about you __PUNCT__ the more thei didn't like you __PUNCT__

giuliani __PUNCT__ i think __PUNCT__ i think the realiti is __PUNCT__ of the peopl who won those primari __PUNCT__ thei got all the attent __PUNCT__

and now what we have to do is establish ourselv here in florida and show that we can win __PUNCT__

and that been the concentr that we had __PUNCT__

we unveil here our tax_plan __PUNCT__ our plan for a singl on __PUNCT__ page tax form __PUNCT__

it actual alreadi been introduc in congress by congressman dreier and senat bond as legisl __PUNCT__

it would not onli be the largest tax_cut in american_histori __PUNCT__ it would __PUNCT__ it would provid a singl __PUNCT__ page tax form as an option __PUNCT__

on page in which you can fill out your tax __PUNCT__

so it would also be a tax simplif __PUNCT__ as well as a reform __PUNCT__

schieffer __PUNCT__ you talk about cut_tax as the wai to turn a govern around __PUNCT__

you said that what you did in new york __PUNCT__

but isn't that go to be kind of difficult with a war that cost___MONEY__ a minut __PUNCT__ with now a new stimulu_packag that nobodi know how thei go to pai for that __PUNCT__ and now you propos thi catastroph insur fund __PUNCT__

how much would that cost __PUNCT__ mayor giuliani __PUNCT__ giuliani __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ for __PUNCT__

schieffer __PUNCT__ could you pai for that and still cut_tax __PUNCT__ giuliani __PUNCT__ sure __PUNCT__

let __PUNCT__ sure __PUNCT__

first of all __PUNCT__ you __PUNCT__ the tax_cut plan is to cut_tax that would rais_revenu __PUNCT__

for __PUNCT__ when __PUNCT__ in new york_citi __PUNCT__ i cut_tax __PUNCT__ i cut the incom_tax by __NUM__ percent __PUNCT__ i wa collect __NUM__ percent higher revenu from the lower_tax than the higher_tax __PUNCT__

a cut in the corpor_tax __PUNCT__ for exampl __PUNCT__ that we propos right now __PUNCT__ from __NUM__ to __NUM__ percent __PUNCT__ would mean more job __PUNCT__ more invest __PUNCT__ more revenu __PUNCT__

cut the capit_gain gain_tax __PUNCT__ you make_monei __PUNCT__

so you have to look carefulli at these tax_cut __PUNCT__

thei strateg tax cut that would actual bring you more revenu __PUNCT__

we also ar propos cut_spend __PUNCT__ which hasn't gotten as much attent __PUNCT__

we would cut spend by not rehir half of the govern_employe who ar come up for retir on the civilian side __PUNCT__ by put target on the civilian agenc of __NUM__ and __NUM__ percent reduct __PUNCT__

so it not just tax_cut __PUNCT__ it also reduc expenditur where you can __PUNCT__

and the catastroph fund is a backup __PUNCT__

the govern is spend that monei anywai __PUNCT__

when a __PUNCT__ when a terribl catastroph take place __PUNCT__ like katrina or the four hurrican sever year_ago here in florida __PUNCT__ the feder_govern give out billion and billion and billion of dollar __PUNCT__

the idea here would be that the feder govern would be a backstop for a onc __PUNCT__ in __PUNCT__ a __PUNCT__ hundr __PUNCT__ year or onc __PUNCT__ in __PUNCT__ a __PUNCT__ gener catastroph so that peopl can get insur __PUNCT__

i learn that campaign in florida __PUNCT__

peopl here in florida ar have a realli difficult_time get insur for their home __PUNCT__

some can't get it at all __PUNCT__ some can't afford it __PUNCT__ and some have to realli strain to do it __PUNCT__

so thi would allow them to get insur __PUNCT__ and then if __PUNCT__ god_forbid __PUNCT__ there wa a catastroph like that __PUNCT__ you actual would have more privat monei involv in it __PUNCT__ more insur monei involv in it __PUNCT__ and peopl would get it faster __PUNCT__

i think it a prudent wai to do it __PUNCT__ and it a wai in which you get commun readi for whatev might happen to them __PUNCT__ which is part of homeland_secur in the first place __PUNCT__

schieffer __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ when thi came up at the congress __PUNCT__ senat_mccain said __PUNCT__ put the cost at somewher around __MONEY___billion __PUNCT__

did he know what he wa talk about __PUNCT__ giuliani __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ i __PUNCT__ it __PUNCT__ that the cost of what a catastroph sometim plai out as __PUNCT__

i mean __PUNCT__ i think katrina __PUNCT__ correct me if i wrong __PUNCT__ but i think katrina ha alreadi involv about __NUM__ __MONEY__ billion in feder_dollar __PUNCT__

so __PUNCT__ but the realiti is __PUNCT__ the feder_govern govern_spend that monei anywai __PUNCT__

it spend the monei after the fact __PUNCT__

so if it act as a backup befor the fact and privat_insur can cover a lot of it __PUNCT__ in the long_run it actual go to save_monei __PUNCT__ not cost more monei __PUNCT__

schieffer __PUNCT__ you know __PUNCT__ mr __PUNCT__ mayor __PUNCT__ yesterdai wa not a veri good dai for senat_clinton __PUNCT__ that for sure __PUNCT__ but it also realli wasn't a veri good for you __PUNCT__ becaus the governor of florida __PUNCT__ who ha __NUM__ percent approv_rate __PUNCT__ announc that he wa go to endors john_mccain __PUNCT__

i think the dai befor __PUNCT__ the state republican_senat __PUNCT__ mel martinez __PUNCT__ a former chairman of the republican_nation_committe __PUNCT__ surpris a lot of peopl __PUNCT__ especi mitt_romnei __PUNCT__ who thought he wa go to get hi endors __PUNCT__ and he endors senat_mccain __PUNCT__

and that come on the heel of your hometown newspap __PUNCT__ the new york_time __PUNCT__ also endors senat_mccain __PUNCT__

that put you in a pretti tough spot __PUNCT__ doesn't it __PUNCT__ giuliani __PUNCT__ the realiti is __PUNCT__ i wa surpris by the governor endors __PUNCT__ but everybodi endors __PUNCT__

the attornei_gener __PUNCT__ bill mccollum __PUNCT__ a long __PUNCT__ time congressman here __PUNCT__ now attornei gener __PUNCT__ endors me __PUNCT__ is my campaign chairman __PUNCT__

we have a lot of support here in __PUNCT__ here in florida __PUNCT__ mayor and peopl up and down the state __PUNCT__

the realiti is __PUNCT__ i think the peopl of florida ar go to make thi decis __PUNCT__ and i think the peopl of florida see in me a proven tax cutter __PUNCT__ someon who actual turn an economi around __PUNCT__ actual done what thei would like to see done on a feder_level __PUNCT__ i alreadi did that in new york __PUNCT__

and of all the candid that ar run in the race __PUNCT__ i the on who actual lower_tax in the past and turn around an economi __PUNCT__

and i have a signific_amount of experi with handl the safeti and secur of million of peopl __PUNCT__

i think if peopl of florida hear that __PUNCT__ that go to be the thing that decid thi elect __PUNCT__

we all have endors __PUNCT__ governor __PUNCT__ senat __PUNCT__ attornei_gener __PUNCT__ mayor __PUNCT__ we all have differ endors __PUNCT__ but in the long_run it get your messag to the peopl of florida that the most import_thing __PUNCT__

schieffer __PUNCT__ i want to give you a chanc to respond to that endors by the new york_time __PUNCT__ becaus thei realli took after you __PUNCT__

thei said your arrog __PUNCT__ your vindict were __PUNCT__ i think __PUNCT__ ar breathtak __PUNCT__ in their phrase __PUNCT__

what do you sai about that when peopl ask you about that __PUNCT__ giuliani __PUNCT__ i wa a mayor of new york_citi that i think brought about the biggest turnaround in the histori of the citi __PUNCT__

crime __PUNCT__ welfar __PUNCT__ the economi of the citi __PUNCT__ unemploy went from __NUM__ percent to __NUM__ percent __PUNCT__ __NUM___peopl remov from welfar __PUNCT__

i chang some of the rule __PUNCT__ some of the social_norm __PUNCT__ some of the wai in which peopl look at thing __PUNCT__

the time oppos most of my initi __PUNCT__ thei saw them differ than i did __PUNCT__

so i wa not at all surpris by their lack of an endors or their endors __PUNCT__

i didn't expect it to go ani other wai __PUNCT__

most of __PUNCT__ most of my ideolog that i put into place in new york_citi thei oppos __PUNCT__ includ the on we talk about most thi morn __PUNCT__ which is __PUNCT__ you know __PUNCT__ larg tax_cut __PUNCT__

but i truli believ that if you cut_tax correctli __PUNCT__ you actual gain revenu and you gain revenu in a healthi wai __PUNCT__

you gain revenu by put more peopl to work __PUNCT__ by build busi __PUNCT__ build job __PUNCT__ and it a healthi wai for an economi to grow rather than heavi tax to transfer wealth __PUNCT__ which i think put a lid on an economi __PUNCT__

schieffer __PUNCT__ all right __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ mayor __PUNCT__ i want to wish you the veri best in that campaign on __PUNCT__

giuliani __PUNCT__ alwai a pleasur __PUNCT__ bob __PUNCT__
