LARRY KING LIVE {DAN QUAYLE} (TV)
Summary
One in this series of interview programs hosted by Larry King. This episode features Vice President Dan Quayle. Topics discussed include the following, among others: his reactions to the rumors that he will not be asked to run for VP again in the 1992 elections; why polls are often "irrelevant"; his assertion that he would voluntarily leave the race if he believed that he was harming President Bush's chances of reelection; his longtime acquaintance with rival Al Gore; whether Secretary of State James Baker will return to run Bush's campaign; the "Perot phenomenon" and how the Republican party intends to sway former Perot supporters; the importance of restraining the growth of the mandatory federal budget; why the restraining the budget will be more useful than increasing taxes for the wealthy; Bush's difficult decision to raise taxes during Desert Storm to prevent a fiscal crisis; his infamous criticism of the popular TV show "Murphy Brown" and its apparent disregard for "traditional values"; whether he would appear on the show if given an opportunity to fairly voice his opinions; his views on single mothers and absent fathers; his decision to veto certain family-leave work policies despite his interest in family values; his administration's anti-discrimination policies and personal views on abortion; and his belief that few people are truly "single-issue voters."
King and Quayle then take calls from viewers, which lead Quayle to discuss the following subjects: his desire to expose rivals Bill Clinton and Al Gore as being less moderate than they claim to be; his confidence despite the poor poll results and the negative effects of both Ross Perot's campaign and the failing economy; the need for a united government over the need for checks and balances between the White House and Congress; why voters should support Bush and Quayle after they "flubbed" their first term; their early plans for creating jobs and why they partially failed; Saddam Hussein's surprising invasion of Kuwait and Gore's comments about Bush's response; the media's unfair treatment of Bush and underreporting of some of his plans for his second term; and Quayle's interest in politics because of his love of people and desire to make a difference. Includes commercials and promos.
