" joining us the studio is the Republicans say for Republican state senator Scott Brown who is as you know. A candidate for Ted Kennedy's vacated seat in the special election. It's got -- morning to union listens you bring in Portsmouth yeah yeah yeah now now let's get the tough question of the way you're only doing this so you can be as famous as your wife and daughters that right after got to raise that Q factor a little bit diagram I'm third in the -- that's -- pay up."
" The only Republican. The only Republican is running for this season and that a big advantage because they're gonna cannibalize each other and in the general elections soon after the only you 55 weeks five weeks they don't file which that we hope. The only suspect a -- each other's bones and they and you stand there look at prim and proper and -- do battle for five short weeks I'm I'm ready regardless."
" Mean there's a clear distinction certainly between them and -- you know I've I've never voted for a tax increase feel very strongly about good government initiatives and a you -- vote for them you can certainly do that and they'll be a clone of what's down there now you know tax and spend mentality. Putting along with -- Obama earned David Axelrod in head Harry Reid. Where you can vote for me sort of an independent thinker and voter will continue to do so."
" I know being an independent thinker with your values in your judgment is a good thing. But politically -- do you feel like I don't know a tuxedo among the bunch of coveralls in this state coming -- feel like."
" Pointless so yeah -- you know bang your head against the wall mean so sometimes sometimes you feel very very frustrated that we've always had the bully pulpit -- former Republican governors that's no longer the case so I've been traveling around the student and speaking of a lot of groups of people. And the message and I'm hearings at their people hurting their angry they're tired of paying the high taxes is tied at a three speakers being indicted the two senators resigning in disgrace and manipulation of the Senate succession thing the bad government the that the lack of accountability with this administration not only locally but -- take up the food chain to the national level. And their outrage that the big debt they were incurring -- and the lack of civility and also active getting any job real job creation and job or how. It's going out of sight and there's no there's no end in -- needs somebody. I think to go around there and in and talk some sense."
" It's it sounds good and god knows we agree with your message but does it really resonate in this state let's face it. We live in. You know the people's republic of Massachusetts or how eco expo the banana republic of Massachusetts. Then I mean their normal clear thinking people like you. Don't stand much of a chance I would have thought that battle against the teacher's union and the and the of the public employee unions in the globe in the --"
" certainly -- on the underdog and and I agree with you in some respects -- disagree because people are are. Hurting as I said and that more angry than I've ever seen them ever in just the fact I was collecting signatures outside Roche Brothers. And I walked away with -- 900 dollars worth of checks people actually went down to the town hall changed her registration from Democrat to an enrolled independent. Came back and salmon papers we -- signatures and three and a half weeks of a 28000 Iraq. Signatures in 19600. Certified. In three and a half weeks and that's the type of energy that's out there that I've I've never seen in in my -- sixteen years of doing this. For ever and this thing's gonna resonate. -- opportunity presented itself did you have to pause did you have to check did you have to think was this a difficult decision jumped or pushed as well last value yesterday now of course as -- tough decision anytime you put yourself -- more -- your family yes there. As you know you saw the -- thing with -- and you know my kids -- dragged him into checking to see if my dogs are registered I mean you go through that as opposed figured I'd get it. Seriously yet I get it. But you know there is certainly I think in an opportunity for someone like me who's been paying his -- and -- Fought good government fights in his delivered for his district and can do the same for Massachusetts. To to take a shot in negative people are are angry and they they -- they already have eleven people down there that the vote talk you know beholden same special interest. The singer and we need to send a twelfth we need to -- another guy is gonna do the same thing. And I would be the 41 senator not to sixty senator and you guys know what it means as a sixty senator whoever goes down there's a Democrat is gonna. In lockstep of what's happening down ending Iran to healthcare illegal immigration. A lot of cap and trade -- and trade which is a national healthcare and national energy taxes you know seventeen under hall's family where they're gonna send me down there because as the 41 senator. And I will look to see foresaw as the bill good for Massachusetts secondly I don't care what special interest group gives me a report dead I could care less because I'm not beholden to them. And they would the Democrats would have to come means they Scott we need to you know stop debate because we have a good bill for master's degree problems -- companies say Scott. No we need to continued to because there's a bit village bad for masters -- so I actually imminent very enviable position we promise you won't be another Olympia Snowe. Next Evan. Rhinos. The Lincoln Chafee I've been called a lot of things there rhino is no one of them good good we don't need one of those don't don't play that game I'm I'm pretty plain tigers manager just like you and you know -- if it's black is black -- its way to its weight in and that's why people of overwhelmingly elected me in the last election won by over twenty almost twenty points and in more votes and carrying a -- and and almost every on my -- that's in the Obama wave. And you know comes by working across party lines and just looking at the issues and open and fair manner and and and doing the job why -- we saw outnumbered."
" It seems mean. I hate to sound like that that the art critic from the New Yorker who couldn't understand how Nixon elected just. I don't know anyone who vote reform pass it in Manhattan and I sit here John and I you know we talk to people. It just seems like -- more people like you. Also it may he may be a bit like cute just normal reasonable rational people and not that many extreme lunatics like money Franken -- couple -- mean. Why do is does it seem so hopeless reasonable rational people on the in the political. Rome because people on fired up."
" And weren't fired up but they are now because they're losing their jobs are losing their homes that they can't pay the bills there on welfare and they're saying you know something's wrong my my congressman or my state rep or senator telling me one thing and that they're actually going to check their voting records because you can blood. 01 way in the state house and then go to tell somebody a pro business and get all these business awards yet you voted for every single tax increase and every anti business thing in the world -- People finally checking and I'm encouraged everybody whom whom I speak with the go check your guy you're you're senator -- a congressman -- US senators voting records. And they're doing that now -- pretty upset."
" We're talking with state senator Scott Brown has got when you meet and greet you press the flesh. After the economy discussion goes goes by the boards what's the next thing they're worried about what's the thing that they wanna -- you most about once their pocketbook issues out of the way."
" when the pocketbook which very rarely get so -- atop her shirt you're talking about you know the health care bill and also cap and trade as you talked about illegal immigration. I think those -- the top three. Good government you know have been that's sixteen and irises and -- need cap and trade and it's global warming thing is we're all gonna die on them and that's. So that's something you should hammer away -- because the space Ed Markey. The sponsor in the -- that John Kerry is is earned run with it and it's silly blow -- on the street average even even in liberals. Even in the AG in this city's losing faith in this whole global warming -- you -- we -- Johnson is in Massachusetts you know couple years ago we had joined a consortium of tech attack which includes ten states. To try to deal was almost like -- a regional cap and trade and you know I voted for we pastor but we were told that the rates would go down. That everything would be hunky -- was sold a bill of goods that would wouldn't do it again in the national healthcare the cap and trade have been trying to push through. Is almost a carbon copy of that and it's it's not good for Massachusetts is not good for the mom and pop stores and -- and people -- very fixed in tightening comes. To come up another 1700 bucks. You know a year yeah and where is that coming from. Speaking of coming up -- money -- you look at all the candidates one of the candidates say I wish I had a half a billion dollars to. Ran my name you know you can't buy happiness number one -- and -- can't -- area you can do you can buy you can buy a brand -- innocent -- yeah you can also certainly spread your name around but if if you if the people don't believe what you're doing. And you don't have that grassroots organization you can spend as much money is you won the national X. Party help you. I'm hopeful they will but I've never relied and anybody who before the state party any individual groups have always been kind of a grassroots populist person just to my own thing that you wanted to jump on board -- welcome Democrats and -- Vietnam. No not yet they've. Any big time endorsements -- mean I don't know if you want them getting and I -- want Sarah Palin come and I'd rather have your endorsements then than her endorsement you'll agree absolutely -- because and him or me talking about the real and he can in the people's endorsements because this is going to be very. Close a hard fought election with a lot at stake and people need to get off. They coaches and him down to the polls are violent comes in and that congressional district in New York. -- I'm in good form of payment taxes and have paid you must all know there out there and bottle -- the group does not gonna get a cabinet position that. So -- you know there's a lot at stake here and I'm I'm certainly hopeful that people's noting go to brown for US senate dot com involves and somewhat -- he. I'm working with the real courage and his represented as I've said I've said I've left message route with him I've spoken to him and sermons I'd be honored to have his endorsement as well as you know Doug Flutie -- Tedy Bruschi is in my district in a lot of them. Patriots and Celtics it's great to have celebrity endorsements -- people naturally as you know sports guys. Obama listened to all the time you know they they carry some weight. The differentiation between the other guys -- continue to all the difference now there's no difference fact -- real -- it's shades of gray is it not. The one thing they disagree with Ted Kennedy on do you agree with which really disappoints. You really I guess there -- a -- I don't know I'm not a anatomy I'm. I'm not against wind farm it's like putting wind turbines in the Boston Common and -- Fenway Park that is a national treasure. This area -- I don't have any and I don't mean dog in this race at all. As you know I don't have a host on the I think they look cool I think it makes it better when this is the problem I have with it when you have all the towns voting against you of the chambers of commerce official in the -- And the thing that they really do Tuesday to -- it's actually. Like a donut right in the middle which is a federal conclave with a trying to put that is to usurp the local rules and regulations and once again the federal government's coming out and talent. All the board's -- this is I was gonna do regardless of how you think so it's for me it's a process thing. I'm always you gotta have many tools in the two walks wind solar nuclear you know. Drilling -- and -- you know for publishers so their a lot of things we need to do you know stopper reliance on foreign oil and paying people who really hate us for money. It's a no brainer while what is but the wind farm up on Beacon -- open -- What source can happen this time I'm certainly in favor of -- once again and I think that is that national treasure. And -- there and that's the only difference so. -- Like Senator Kennedy and and that issue that was very important. In Hammond. I've I find it kind of humor that."
" I'm gonna end with this analogy -- made before this is sort of like when you're voting for best actor best movie. And all the votes get divided between Midnight Cowboy John vote -- and Endesa -- is sitting on the other side although it is this'll decision was dropped right. Attorney John -- here nobody else. Split their vote to address these people -- pilgrim at the golf sticks has gone brown."
" got no no I don't -- know in Sydney it tells them what to do now and like didn't you hand signals just an hour I'm I'm. I am who I am I look forward to that debate when you debate one of the how many other Ford and wish it was today. Guys went -- you know please don't we don't you don't you need weeks and weeks of them salvaging children that's -- though naturally happen we will have a couple no demand CNN channel five and we're negotiating others -- five. You know what repudiate -- so they're gonna make. Or campaign ads for you you did you see Larry and I apparently exchange actually -- going at each other area Unionists I assume you're gonna have this on videotape I want -- to make dads who -- them kill each other and whoever you going against. You'll have -- amateur."
" Yeah I heard your exchange about -- working obviously I have been married 23 years tour and she's great but one reason we've been married 23 uses as we don't speak about politics. And certainly isn't as an independent thoughtful person and reporters she's not involve. But you know that's that's the arrangement we have with the station and I respect. In the general manager and then. We'll soon have a daughter will be singing the anthem and every I'm hoping that it you know -- we're -- evolve once basketball you know just starts up -- she's performing much is actually with the James Montgomery. It's a set higher fireflies and then she's gonna call from David Foster Peterson's hair. To sing with all the all stars at the again -- on Sunday which -- zero -- and -- yeah -- associate -- she's gonna get some new music coming on -- and James Montgomery in the -- warrants and holds -- in life man."
" Best the -- the best to you you good luck to report senator Scott Brown good luck thank you doesn't tell lateral on."
