[0:00] The best JOBS IN THE WORLD. NEXT, Oprah
[0:05] >> from NBC News in Washington. This is
[0:08] Meet the Press with Tim Russard.
[0:14] Welcome again to Meet the Press. Our
[0:15] issue this Sunday morning, the race for
[0:17] the White House. Is a big tax cut the
[0:20] best way to spur the economy? If so,
[0:22] what kind? How much? And at what cost to
[0:25] Medicare, education, or defense? Our
[0:28] guest, two very smart men with two very
[0:31] different views. The magazine publisher
[0:33] who spent $37 million running for
[0:36] president, Mr. Flat Tax, Steve Forbes,
[0:39] and the basketball great who's leaving
[0:40] the US said it after 18 years, Bill
[0:43] Bradley of New Jersey. Republican Steve
[0:46] Forbes versus Democrat Bill Bradley. A

[1:10] reality, it's all just special effects.
[1:12] The candidates maneuver on welfare,
[1:14] abortion, and character. Who's telling
[1:16] the truth? We'll sort it out with three
[1:18] journalists on the front line. In our
[1:20] Meet the Press Minute, a Republican
[1:23] complaining about a Democratic
[1:24] presidential candidate co-opting his
[1:26] ideas, Ronald Reagan from 28 years ago.
[1:30] And joining us now, Steve Forbes, Bill
[1:32] Bradley. Gentlemen,
[1:33] >> is this is this a preview of the year
[1:35] 2000?
[1:36] >> Presidential debate.
[1:37] >> Well, that that'll depend on
