Better than Bret Baier w/Brit Hume: Berkowitz w/14th CD candidate Randy Hultgren on bailouts and Afghanistan; Cable and now Streaming
Jeff Berkowitz:…so you would have been against the bailouts, you would have been against the stimulus. Is there a proposal coming from you and other Republicans that you would have done in place [of those programs] or would you have just said let the natural forces work their way out and things would get better?
**********************************************
State Sen. and 14th CD Candidate Randy Hultgren [R-Winfield]: Both of those guys…I like them. I have enjoyed working with them out on the campaign trail, talking with them. What separates me is the service I’ve already provided on the County Board and as a State Representative and as a State Senator for that District. And, I represent a fair amount of that Kane County and DuPage County area of the 14th Cong. District…and they have seen that I am there representing them. And I think that’s the biggest problem right now in the 14th Cong. District is that there is a feeling by all of us-- I’m a constituent there-- and I just feel like my congressman [Bill Foster] isn’t responding to us. [Watch the show with Sen. Hultgren]

700 Billion dollar Bailout
Randy Hultgren, State Senator [R-Winfield] and 14th CD Republican Primary candidate: …If I was there, I would have voted against the [700 billion dollar Bailout of the Financial Sector], I think it is just too much of a burden that we are passing onto future generations…
***************************************
An alternative Republican approach to bailouts and stimulus programs?
Jeff Berkowitz: …the economic stimulus, 800 billion dollars, you would have voted against that?
State Sen. Randy Hultgren: I think I probably would have.
Jeff Berkowitz:…so you would have been against the bailouts, you would have been against the stimulus. Is there a proposal coming from you and other Republicans that you would have done in place [of those programs] or would you have just said let the natural forces work their way out and things would get better?
State Sen. Randy Hultgren: …I think that’s a big part of it… having natural forces work…the free market is what has set us apart as a nation for so long and some times things need to fail. I don’t like that. It’s not a pleasant process to go through, but sometimes when we have Government Motors-
Let AIG fail?
Jeff Berkowitz:…you would have let AIG fail, that 85 billion dollar bailout?
State Sen. Randy Hultgren: I don’t know.
Jeff Berkowitz: You might have.
State Sen. Randy Hultgren: I might have. I would have looked at it.
***************************************
Referendum on Speaker Hastert?
Jeff Berkowitz: One of your [primary] opponents is Ethan Hastert
State Sen. Randy Hultgren: Hm hm.
Jeff Berkowitz: Son of Speaker Hastert.
State Sen. Randy Hultgren: Right.
Jeff Berkowitz: Former Speaker Hastert. Is this Republican Primary …going to become in part a referendum on Speaker Hastert and his performance at least during the last few years that he was there.
State Sen. Randy Hultgren: I hope not.
Looking backward or moving forward?
Jeff Berkowitz: Are you alluding to that because you said…you haven’t been happy with what the Republicans were doing in Congress?
State Sen. Randy Hultgren: …What I do allude to is what I think we need to be doing about issues right now and where we go in the future, recognizing that both parties have made misstates in the past but who is in the best position…and this is my argument as I talk to people out in the 14th CD about why I am the best candidate to win against Bill Foster next November…is that I can talk about …mistakes that are being made right now and how we move forward…my fear is that other candidates maybe wouldn’t be able to do that as well as I would.

Hultgren? Hastert? Vargas? Foster?
Jeff Berkowitz: Are you referring to Ethan Hastert? Are you referring to Mark Vargas?...
State Sen. Randy Hultgren: Both of those guys…I like them. I have enjoyed working with them out on the campaign trail, talking with them. What separates me is the service I’ve already provided on the County Board and as a State Representative and as a State Senator for that District.
