(00:00:01) Did the Braska and Paul Bucher particularly? We're up here speaking. It's also an honor to be introduced by one of the nation's great Governor. Tommy Thompson. You're lucky out here. And I hope you know it but I am very honored and pleased to receive the endorsement of Wisconsin's law enforcement community and the state troopers and Sheriff's Department Association, Military Police Association, the Milwaukee Police Association, you know keeping our neighborhoods safe and secure is one of the fundamental responsibilities of government and it takes a tough no-nonsense approach one that puts our sympathy with the victims of crime not with the criminals and after all After all hard time is what criminal should get not the innocent kids and older Americans who have to live in fear of violence, and in this election two candidates are talking tough on crime, but just one candidate is taking action and all I ask and we'll be asking the American people in these debates of the other guy ever shows up is look at the record look at the record Arkansas ranks near the bottom in every important per capita law enforcement expenditures for prisons 46th in the nation for judicial and legal systems 50th, and when it comes to spending four police officers, Arkansas ranks 49th in since 1989, we propose a 59% increase in federal spending to fight crime and here's another snapshot on the Arkansas situation last year. Under Governor Clinton Arkansas's criminals on average serve just one-fifth of their sentence before they were back out on the street and they did crime and then they serve one fifth of the time and that is not right. And so and let me contrast that with the federal inmates the ones who fall under the federal jurisdiction my jurisdiction Arkansas one fifth of the time and federal prisons and average 85 percent of their full 10 a big difference in favor of the police officers in favor of the victims of crime crime is one more issue one more area where the governor of Arkansas cannot kind of slickly talked his way past his record. If you want to know who's really tough on crime look around you here today. Look at the people that are out on the front line putting A trip for you and me every single day. That's who we ought to support not worrying about how kind we want to be to these criminals and speaking of those who are on the front line. I was delighted take a look at the Fraternal Order of Police and Little Rock Arkansas. They've lived with Governor Clinton for 12 years and they know his record best and they endorse me for president of the United States. No, do you put your lives on the line every day? Let me just say you have my thanks, but much more than that. You have our strong support you were on the side of the law and I am on your side and I wish you had a little more clout with the United States Congress for a thousand and 91 days. I believe that figure is they are sitting on a strong anti-crime bill that I set up there three and A half years ago and they've done absolutely nothing with it. And that is not fair to the men and women who wear the uniform who were out there supporting us whether it's in the court or on the street. We need to back them up with strong Federal anti-crime legislation. You know with your strong support. I know that we can take back the streets and we can turn back the threat of drugs and crime and make our communities safer and more secure. So thank you all very very much women and men of law enforcement for your vote of confidence and may God bless the men and women who served as thank you very very much. Thank you.
