Quotes - This Day in Dubya History (July 19) (What did Dubya say on today's date in previous years?)
There are 9 quotes on this date.
REPORTER: Mr. President, music is one of our largest exports the country has. Currently, every country in the world — except China, Iran, North Korea, Rwanda and the United States — pay a statutory royalty to the performing artists for radio and television air play. Would your administration consider changing our laws to align it with the rest of the world?
DUBYA: Help. Maybe you've never had a President say this — I have, like, no earthly idea what you're talking about. Sounds like we're keeping interesting company, you know? Look, I'll give you the old classic. Contact my office, will you? I really don't — I'm totally out of my lane. I like listening to country music, if that helps. No, that really doesn't help at all. But at least you admitted you were completely out of your depth. That's a first. Nashville, Tennessee, Jul. 19, 2007 The long-term solution for your grandkids' sake is to defeat their ideology of hate with an ideology of light, and that's called liberty and democracy.
Dubya's poor grammar equates grandkids with terrorists, Nashville, Tennessee, Jul. 19, 2007 And so you know what the lesson is in life? Just do what you think is right. Make decisions based upon principle.
Dubya's advice: It doesn't matter if anyone else thinks what you're doing is wrong. Your viewpoint is the only thing that matters. Nashville, Tennessee, Jul. 19, 2007 Now, I will tell you that there's an interesting relationship between the President and the Congress. The President has got the right to initiate spending bills — and they do.
As Dubya describes it, it is indeed an interesting relationship. Nashville, Tennessee, Jul. 19, 2007 I find it very interesting that the United Nations is sending a very distinguished citizen from Chile to Haiti to help stabilize that country so the people of Haiti have a chance to live a hopeful life. And that's going to require security measures, and as the President mentioned — I think you said in Spanish, there's a donors conference tomorrow, it's a very important conference, and that we will be attending, along with Chile, to see if we can't set priorities for the people of Chile so they have a chance to live a good life.
Chile? Haiti? They're so hard to keep straight! White House, Jul. 19, 2004 I have long expressed my concerns about Iran, after all it's a totalitarian society where free people are not allowed to ex — you know exercise their — uhh, their rights as human beings.
If they aren't able to exercise their rights as humans, why is Dubya calling them free people? Washington, D.C., Jul. 19, 2004 Sometimes, boys and girls would rather watch TV than read. When your teachers say read, they are giving you pretty damn good advice.
Advice given to 30 British schoolchildren after Dubya's tour of the British Museum, to whom he also offered the pearl "It's White" when asked by a child what the White House is like, London Daily Mirror, Jul. 19, 2001 We want to reduce greenhouse gases. Ours is a large economy. We used to generate more wealth than we are today. And as a result, we do contribute greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
Did that even make sense to him? Press conference with Tony Blair, London, England,, Jul. 19, 2001 I happen to believe missile defenses is important to keep the world more peaceful.
