I thought -- AM bank show with Buckley and make them time for. Future senator here in Massachusetts Curt Schilling joined has brought to you by dragon naturally speaking speech recognition software -- alliance. Current I tried to see if I could solicit a couple votes from McCadam enough Barkley had not been successful we've got another outing at the.
Get -- you know love you big guy out. Why is that. It stop. Stop let's should we let it's not look awful -- what group he surely work tonight while. WG important to operate. Yeah you go to the question do you do. So can we do we make this let's move on to the immaculate election.
a couple of them.
Until until we make one thing perfectly good this will be the season that will in the decade of -- don't want you at the end of this year saying well maybe next okay this is it right now we're on the record right. -- when you run for political office they listen to what you say they recorded they play it back okay.
I can't go back to what I did do decliner then they start save you a lot of she starts and won't do that job then them.
Well you you join the clips -- join the club -- IL let's let's stop this will stop waste in the next me next week meaning are you are William Sherman asked statement earlier -- are you running here.
I'm not -- I don't know. I'm not I don't I had no idea. How intrigued you about this entry one. I mean. How neat opportunity presented in your that there actually changed -- make a difference in in you know articles. And it's. I think probably. Awesome. Or our ability but it it's also an. Beyond this -- its -- by pay your job. So there ought to require massive commitment of time and energy from not just the person I am. Which a lot of that discussion that would.
Let's get to the crux of what have you done so far referred. John McCain pitchers don't what do you what do you what makes up. What determines. Witten is the determining factor here with the you do it or don't -- are you doing polls out there. Are you are you looking at a possible cause you know money sources.
So couple things. Obviously. You know -- public record that there -- made it can't ever have a couple of calls -- Couple of different people. Expressing. Little insecure area whether it was interest in another -- it's in running a legitimate alt a and other work doing I mean -- Ari Ari Ari recognized. I think you -- order race. Edit -- even if we it's -- job it would it would have an effect. And that might not actually be a good thing. On on on what they're getting --
training votes in Republican nominee.
I don't know -- I don't know I mean I could be giving myself or too much credit not want to get percent of the vote to be a joke in it that's the potential I have no interest I have no interest whatsoever. In being a legitimate chance the winner and and at that wiped out at the thought. Behind that now. That that would support that there was a chance. That would that would get and it went so you do let you do that. I have not doing anything. -- that are doing some stuff. I. -- not exactly sure because what frightened broken comment on so first I'm probably in my life.
You know we shine a record -- is that is that -- what -- current I'm wondering. But he as you look at the field in the here there's at least one official candidate a couple of others who have pulled nomination papers. The attorney general Coakley Congressman Lynch congressman cap you -- my hosts the art of all signaled the likely miss the likelihood that they will run. Does any of that persuade you dissuade you changer thinking at all.
Not at all. Photo and.
You know it was it's a figure. Is very personal thing your if you got in an office. Ineptitude or or or. You know problems of other candidates. Want to thank you run your own merit. And then end run your own plots Orman and if you got to run and rely on other people talking about it and and so you know it's not really something of concern.
Obviously you've got support John McCain that's the Republican Party the way I don't. There will be there -- well we look to the election results but. Eight the my understanding is you could not run. As he Republicans and therefore how do you get money. From the Republican National Committee would they not the Scott Brown ran let's say he was the nominee of the Republican Party. You would be taking money out of his pocket out of a Republican candidates pocket.
The many things consider my AM understanding that the RNC picks and chooses all callers. And so I've actually. Some are -- that is very clear that. One thing it is is -- it is going to happen. I would out run on the taxpayers' dollars in the any economy being what it could not possibly do that in the gym and people occupy trying to make it as well -- so.
can't ask your question because. Obviously you would be to the right on most issues fair enough.
I don't know about most issues but it sure --
Okay just. For the promise in this discussion you've got a democratic nominee and you've got in -- and asked a few minutes and -- Republican nominee whether -- to Carter somebody else. You run as an independent is it is it safe to say you would drain votes away if they're Republican nominee is that is that clear.
Japanese pilot and it'll run in ten believe it she. You shot -- And apparently there I didn't believe it that was possible I wouldn't I -- in addition to a lot of other things that what. They went -- and again you guys can only one that that the business and entered the priest uses it a priority that's where committed. I'm so that Patrick would -- from owning my own. Campaign.
The -- or how could it not be that. Pocketed not be that I mean it's it's it's Teddy Roosevelt did you know draining votes away from -- all over and.
I'll. Be -- it's not relegated to sports you know Oakland while laid back. I wouldn't have caught it and yeah. And a tribute are. Very relevant earlier in this place.
It's it's -- it wouldn't be going in to win to actually look at the -- and any book like political straining. I in my mind that would become addicted to it that the -- seat so. I certainly wouldn't that be going into play a political game ports and manipulate the vote because somebody. You know my candidate in opposite would be going away and oh yeah.
So a lot of things a lot of factors that are that are coming in playing and and changed by it might -- early and it. The chances are they're all the copper and I'm incredibly hurt them on only 100 that. It you know beyond and the jokes in the part swipe -- people seriously ought. Thank that they would that they would support for this and -- So you know but it. A lot of things a lot of things that.
But let me ask two questions one is a political -- sort of horse race part of it. And the other is more. The governance part the first. We talked about a week ago you said it was highly unlikely you continue to say that. It if if if that needle -- pointing more closely a week ago to not running as it moved. Even slightly. Toward may be running since --
Our -- which they a lot but it's not enough conversations on both sides of the -- Good to keep the needle where Wallace. I'd -- the again. You -- understood well the some pretty understandable that went three years which was in -- can be committed to the game based on how much apparently have to give up. Idol I look at that are bigger. Sacrificed for our spam met. Except that that the state that I'm going to old Leo but the rest spotlight and it reflects it and and beat the opportunity. To. Affect every person living in this state -- ways and to our thing and and it'll I think of what could be done on a state and national level of the senator real lesson for for skin cancer awareness and does the men and all the things we expect our lights being all it and and and that is an incredible draw. So it's Freddie plus there's been kind of minus two and natural and I tried to reach are a couple for people. -- the governor I talk you multiple elected officials. Treating it like retreat. You know became a baseball preparation that went. Pocket -- and but it can't process to get a feel for these that troops are like they've been -- to be made what it's like -- like changes in in what it means light and not just in the future I wanna I don't wanna do. It's it's have a -- a joke and or not there's gonna be more about what's that -- spin it that way in and I'm sure -- probably post comments so long awaited. Facilitate that but the -- that that we series than in. -- Then. Are dark and light on where this country needed. People in in elected office. That that are that are more hell bent on on doing right by the.
I know you you laid out your entire philosophy last week on and on -- web on your website -- just referred to it is being to the right. I'm not sure -- I can think of a Republican who has been too far to the rights and elected. I you can look at William Weld you can look at and Mitt Romney you can look at -- and the last Republican. A senator which had in in this state fiscally conservative probably -- but I would say. Among moderates on social issues and of course when they change and they run for national political offices Mitt Romney did he had to which cost is.
Moderate but I -- when her husband Kurt launches the White House bids that come from Arizona and children so my question so. I like this rivalry you would agree that he gets it right he would insightful way more votes with Republican nominee the democratic nominee not quite knowing.
Like depends and arguably independent vote in this state is because there are more dependents then then then Democrats and instant comply -- depend on how that. That that well that's our vehicle -- what well.
By the way I don't like it was determined in this in the state on and on world it makes it sound like him doing something wrong -- you know on the you missed the Democrat mistook that right now whether you're. You are independent like guy and I also an excellent -- The question I had to you do you. As you look at what you believe him. And you know how liberal this state is how do your politics play to those so called honor roll. In attendance is now really wants wants to put Obama in office right now they want to put in an office that you know the liberal you know you 90% of the Democrats -- a fork and maybe 50% of the Republicans it's the independents. How do you left. -- Any of your principles to run for political office here. -- Good job Oakland. -- It back on the back on the phone but do you agree that the right if you're the right of the middle UUK. Liberal I don't like I don't think he's that conservative. I don't it at all I don't even when I when I went I don't know why don't -- me when -- when I'm saying though -- quick Tom Finneran for an example. Was not what you call a liberal membership or right okay. So it in this state even Democrats they not have been moderates he was more moderate. Would you say -- I'd I'd say as a Democrat he's more conservative. Fiscally conservative -- on still no ice no not for Johnson -- no it was we were well -- get when both rhetoric was was socially conservative. And well done really well we got. And Silber weld was the EU was that leftist candidate but even that even when they are. They beat back I'm kidding they daddy king was and then they become kind of wishy washy with some of those social issues because they know they can't play -- we know. Abortion gun control certain issues. We know they don't play here so even though you feel one way you have to drift away from that issue with you gonna run for political office and Mitt Romney that we saw him he was much different as a national candidate that he was as a candidate here in -- Arnold like that is a candidate but I can't throw the talk about something I understand it did you get the question I ask you.
Yeah I do I didn't know the bird didn't want me when I I was well it would go well but I don't expert to look. -- in and and no you are a lot of the art. They're probably not the -- all for. From from multiple optical or police standpoint. You know but I -- spirited. Barry -- I've never ever. I have always been confused whether you believe in in the required in developing go with that but -- I I -- old -- that practically one person. Right orbit because it could do it works on people I think that this state you have been. Should be politically irresponsible for a law they live -- And in a piece of like and so I don't think you saw anyone person that's what I'm chart of who is pro lifer here it is. There's there's pro abortion or or whatever I. Want her to choose that at. That's but that's that's a personal thing coming it's not something you'll -- on August. It's being of people and that we've -- salt bought from from that I think because the culture of -- that it's I think people can you know.
give us give us three issues. That really matter to you. And that you think you could impact. The dialogue in the legislative process by running for and winning a senate --
First and foremost beat stem cell research. It's one of the things have been passer out it was one of the things that are obviously gonna a post that. The President Bush's stance on -- but I attempt to talk about I think that but they split medical science -- and research has gotten to a point. -- we don't need to use embryonic and people spend so that sort -- to. They get results. That is one thing and I'm incredibly about incredibly and all and and I don't know about going into submission but obviously one of mighty my biggest concern says -- some great and in my book actually. Over my lifetime it's -- Compensation to a -- to. Least the -- or apartment that there yet system and are only offs in the in the upper Echelon of of competition for. For. The police officers I don't know react with firemen -- a lot of stuff. That I write an exit to a lot more homework on.
Gonna give an example of because you said it and I think we all agree. The teachers deserve more money firemen police. Urged their -- in safety every student their job their life. In jeopardy every single -- on the other hand. Wherein they deep recession right now I'm not -- by the feds yesterday telling us it's suddenly over and everything is happy go lucky you right. So if that's the case. So you know what the issue is you know what the problem is how do you solve the problem the other people out there the street right now we get laid off to almost 1% of the population.
What thing you what I cannot -- you and I cannot I I don't think anybody shorten the keep their -- it can can can honestly talks. -- revolution -- legitimate chance a look at the books I am all the the weight of back and exodus actually I'm always what effect like nickel spot while it'll open up an enormous all in the which they do what everybody -- by -- the black market seems to me at this speech should. Be in no way shape or form. If it deficit and weren't as staggeringly huge one and I'm confused by that so so. Again I would argue that I wanna what I wanna see capital collaborative. Development -- the next part of three billion dollar big big. I brought it back. It was brought to the table -- people can -- realizes how incredibly stupid. Something like that is.
Don't discourage -- just remember when they say three billion will be sixteen billion that's. If you think it I don't look at numbers just don't sixteen million of the -- up.
So so if you think about what that state could've done over the over the period electric it was sixteen billion dollars. A punishment -- work. I shudder to think what we could've done -- when.
It is much the federal government's promise that is the thing.
Yup which you have employed an impact. -- back. -- richer are gonna select -- and end the acted we battle we've we've. That people as they pushed it to a caller we push -- is it puts it in perpetuity where you cannot. Okay. We're all screwed it is pointing the fingers and play people can help solve problems that -- integrate. But certainly the PE. I believe that people have lost a lot of faith that not an enormous amount of they've. In the end in the ability pro -- pixel expert and our lives and and and that -- me is probably mostly at all.
I more importantly an issue that might draw a few more votes for you here on this program. Is Josh Beckett back and we see it if you suited up for the last couple games that you feel more companies which own and which don't in our judgment.
You know what I did that all right well you're right you know it's it's more like B or eleven -- don't think it got back on all like pimping out better. He was he was gonna strikes -- an out let -- strikes are a lot more consistently. Wrong pick their. -- I'm incredibly comparable with Josh Beckett pitching game -- in any game. -- over the -- arts -- would not -- well I'd been. You know easy would it and it looks like product -- tell -- light switch go along with a few people that wraps it up and over just happened -- its way to.
What's your gut feeling on those -- personality because you're responding prevention is better appears hopeful senator.
I adults it out and I I. You know one of the things you're gonna have the abilities -- upbeat on the pitch count our markets to help. -- a month when you could mail order spent all and assault and it all for an expert you know report by six games -- series -- assembly sister -- goes -- that ought to go to the art I'm saying. You know this is obviously a disappointing beaten a lot of reasons they should've happened -- Think he got a lot woke things right now are trying to find a way to squeeze it into the replace I think you you go. It that there are BC -- situation is going to be. You know -- and so on a much more access America or quick to twist is that. And it's partly your win and others makes everybody and we can't go you got what part in your -- look at that six in mobile.
Just thinking about this if current does run do we have to give Martha Coakley equal time ever to go.
And it wasn't the demo look -- and I right. Oddly -- the more maturity and an edit it on Monday that. From a rental player to a retired player -- watch this this cycle now I grew up in the seventies and eighties. When -- like for the sparkle pink you know parker held the pirates that that stage together this seven season -- about -- Loyalty -- extremities while we're gonna need it tonight in the paint sort of turned out well there's -- The most guardian and loyalty for players and it's now gotten to a point where I'm I'm. Kind of got a little bit about. The fact that the mentally to get Bellotti Eric on local -- Exploit it. Couple Burkle and -- its compass that's.
I think to circle the patriots. But it would please -- negotiating right now trying to get more money if he understands -- listen. This is a real downgrade for me to go to Oakland but the -- and get money out of it 3040 million guaranteed deal for the next report which shall certainly. Why shouldn't use of leverage right now to be able to do.
a -- it's always treated at that such mean he's made it very clear that I just find it it is funny how we react -- are out there. The players like. You don't eat you -- you just follow the guys take that oracle can't count that count. And the got to treat them like a business every political treats -- like business they're kind of like you know -- that they have fewer spare and --
I mean I hate to stick to that bill we trust cliche but they have a losing season since 2000.
You know what that's that's a pretty impressive thing -- think that. And it got particularly popular -- deeply called -- probably. Arguments. But he. Coach has done -- wrong. And I come from Amman or that the guy -- personnel -- out double -- around talking to them it -- ER BC. The idea that -- diaper for personnel that a lot of people all and end or any American ports. Part stagger on on that well that all the.
He also has long range planning he can look at things on the roads and this is gonna happen this player and upgrade at this position so it gives me the latitude to be able to deal this guy that's gonna help me three years down the road.
And that's I think what it would also have as an incredibly smart irrelevant because. Any of this without -- The salary cap rules and regulations. -- editing your boring and knowing that those things are gonna change come easily pick them in a well that's not a moving target. As part of the bit just be on. And -- that's like look the topic you've got to. Got the traffic for --
It's a very near future. Yeah they -- together. Our adolescent good luck of the campaign trail of additives out to be like that Joe The Plumber will be up your pitching for -- a couple of -- We'll talk to build the roads -- current accurate it -- it Curt Schilling right here in the election.
