[0:27] I'm going to every corner and county of

[0:29] Oregon. Talking to Oregonians, they

[0:31] believe what I believe. [music] They

[0:33] believe in a balanced budget. They

[0:34] believe in lower taxes.

[0:36] >> A businessman in just one year as Oregon

[0:38] Senate President. He's fought for

[0:39] [music] Oregonians. Balancing the budget

[0:42] without raising taxes, welfare reform,

[0:44] and a tax rebate this November for

[0:47] Oregon families. I want to break the

[1:29] Republicans were robbing the poor to

[1:31] give a tax cut to the rich. The

[1:34] president threatened a veto, but that

[1:36] didn't stop them. All week, it's been

[1:38] one thing after another. What can we

[1:40] expect now? We'll ask our guests, Leon

[1:43] Panetta, the White House chief of staff,

[1:47] Representative John Kasich, Republican

[1:49] Ohio chairman of the House Budget

[1:51] Committee, and Steve Forbes, a new

[1:54] [music] candidate in the race for

[1:56] president, spending his own money and

[1:58] calling for a flat tax. And ou
