It's about it for shows for which -- at the comedy connection at Faneuil hall great -- great time does a great -- are going to do or are kind of what I called a quick look at the part potpourri of what you wrap your reaction to what he -- that enough former governor. Nick Romney Republican candidate for president three authorized John all the what do you see what you see that --

See I don't walk -- and future please please. Police don't elect this month to president -- myself like -- on behalf of the world of the world sits at the world set as a closer to the world he's don't do things what worries we've suffered through eight years don't give us -- full and total pool. Do I I I I think I detect a a democratic bias -- comment well -- juvenile yet probably the hotel located -- at all I'll personally I am a little spots you know. I just feel that there are certain Republican candidates more countries than those repentant. In Albany movement in the cutting these visits is one of them because you've been on our show -- more than anything else and he said although it -- him. In almost every area policies -- of a -- him as a man I'm a trust him as -- my argument of conviction Romany. To boost interest and real. Old unpleasant mystery about -- we had a running with the we will went down to the the -- Republican candidate presidential appointments -- which was exactly as much fun as it sounds. Ha ha ha exactly. If you have -- funny giving joy to opt out so all of -- ordinary is rarely a time an insult and to -- we got a real -- we had to chase him on the spin and he was not talking while.

he really is very that the the people who -- he's very disciplined the people who don't -- he's very scripted this -- that is -- nothing spontaneous about what you and I -- having right now as the conversation who the -- knows where this conversation is -- real particular with -- completely -- the -- I want everybody -- But it's just it's just I'm not sure the they'll hold the depressing like policies has moved to the slick media savvy professionals Rudolph Giuliani. Rudy Giuliani nothing slick about him no okay -- rough around the -- now what do you think about is the it it looks right now it looks as if it is probably going to be. Rudy Giuliani against Hillary Clinton while giving you you'll crumbs the world -- lost I have always said. The big Apple what they Seattle AV eight simple for the people who -- you'll -- confidence boosting. -- at least these -- people have been down on themselves for centuries what do you think of Bill Clinton as the first first man closely first First Lady got our -- human spirit.

You know PP you know -- is -- in your. We'll be on the broken he especially Britain he was instrumental in the northern Ireland peace but yes you so we have a lot of -- also week. Don't have as much of a problem with scandals. As you can we expect them politicians -- on the reprehensible you've hit. We thought it more -- is more trustworthy if it is great if it's worth if you felt. -- until we build we built and lost an -- on -- so. I promised to be true do you in good times and bad guys are going to help us to us but hey there's -- that hot water what -- street there's an asterisk on the way and that's that's the outlook. Okay at a three little curve ball if it's baseball I don't know what that means acutely yeah it's up a couple that are that. Clarence Thomas has been in the news hour rob black Supreme Court justice yet you -- when Clarence Thomas mobile him oh in what what to think he's -- an old question to me.

Well he remains controversial over many many years based upon one is confirmation he's now been on the bench 16 years he's black people seem to think too because he's black he's supposed to think a certain way he's black you must be liberal he must be Democrat he must believe in affirmative go to some sweeping general session but put that is literally what -- a lot of a large part of the American left says and so I'm curious from across the pondered -- sense of the American political scene. When you see or hear about read about the controversies around Clarence Thomas and does does this register on the continent's.

Do you know -- supreme court judge Israel although all the spirits are great deal of interest in American politics pickles -- is America so is tracked. -- Russian space is between Britain so we -- we -- active interest in American especially when glad it was important of course -- perhaps special relationship sure -- what a special special -- talk on the big admirer bullet by the -- puts me in -- I -- they probably at odds with the with the British people and British they certainly Dallas he -- it was so sat welcome to -- he -- with the biggest democratic month in who knows how many years and he put on a blow it cozy decent quite things that he into -- to. Not two to -- under the -- so it wouldn't rock the boat too much and into gold and brown has nowhere near his charisma. No but he's a serious politician and he will typed I'm optimal responsible -- you're an American thing. They gonna ask you about Madonna she's now living in Washington she puts it now are we talking that's exactly -- are you going to send it back program she tells now just I didn't know if you re export a couple of -- I think it's very cynical I -- one house you know everybody's.
