As governor of the state of Massachusetts right now. Apology -- exchange. He won't even take -- way of wait a minute by the way you came in yesterday you were all -- governor hi ya Bill -- C aren't I. We are to have less respect for the job yes okay so that's nice to outsource back very popular respectful you're not yet all you were gracious and it's good to know that you're capable of those things. Then he's out he has to -- had his -- say oh who's the worst governor in Massachusetts Kamal though he said currently use the Nokia yes -- no brainer that question opt out as as it is who's the best right. And right now and we only have -- the only way you want you guys are 6176. Cents at 6860. I would like to change the election laws in the state I'm not Sam go for the Boston Globe stuff to do what you said we need to do. Which is have an ideal world or at least move closer toward it for a where people get elected based on their view points and the ideas are putting forward -- rather then. The cozy connections they've made with special interest and funnel huge amounts of money to them so they can never lose an election and you and that's actually happen I think that's a system we have today you think Todd -- if he should be brave enough to step into the arena to actually begin to outline his actions with his words. That's some aren't you could not conveyed equality in the power of your ideas to your neighbors I think I could -- you are not meant to not enough to overcome it securing -- that would take. Six or eight years may several election cycle as to why won't you attribute to security the incumbent. To that to money do you think the security incumbent might be because he or she is responsive attentive. And reasonably and I would say the least likely to other reason of their security I would say first would be the fact that PR or chickens and it tells us how good his reps you know you are -- you had conversations with very disappointed in some things in gratified I assumed by other -- I know my state rep -- of I thought that she was. Dumb. -- Unresponsive. I would say she's done on corrupt none of those response out of the net -- a front of those negative attributes would be. De facto Ricky expectation that she would be thrown out. -- note look at the look at Diane Welker said because -- take perfect example Diane walker and Andy sixteen years of lying cheating breaking the law and being -- and even. -- There's too much willingness to vote for whatever name is familiar it's a -- welcome to either raise -- I'm not elitist view that you are generally it is always -- like any. Russ and Boston good morning RW -- arrest. Yeah hey -- good morning. Don't go door to door does and it's a tough -- I could not account -- virus.

Yes second Monica who lobbyist provides a great service to balance the knuckle bills that come forward. -- believe me every week I'm sure that there was some that he'd like to give somebody kick in the rear remnants of his grow. Fortunately put up with the nonsense in the lobbyist provided. --

They provide information they provide context in the lobbyist stuff times. I mean if it were -- had -- lobbyists -- Russ taught to uproot my presents this is if there's one and very obvious side to every issue the fact of the matter is I'll go back to the previous caller. Now -- I think it was from new and he's in some kind of dealership thank. There at least two sides to every give Michelin is going to be a lobbyist on the dead takes this side -- that at a -- not objecting to the US -- a license I have not -- I'm not objecting to the that the having -- gourmet or special interest 'cause they have too much influence in the balance of things right now that's why you need non stop using this deceptive argument that I'm attacking the notion of their longest gay people from Massachusetts what's the limit to you know I'm on -- ominous for lobbyists or is it different from individually see his yeah how much and they get 200 dollar smacks and that individual -- you'll -- five and 500 dollars max. -- Pretty simple and if somebody I don't think that's another gives intended out of college credits say it's what the hell is going on here and you raised always good and yet he put him.

meanwhile when you just do with a federal filibuster lobbyists it's -- NN's -- just a citizen giving it could not and just another surfer he's had 10000 dollars so that's -- does he never did get -- does that would be your laptop you would give and I know content must not sells the iPod case endeavor right for those that aren't all costs an all time high you knew the complete opportunity to question him and -- hello.

I can't get back and I didn't really he's lost a lot of -- it's just like -- tell the judge no it's like being in the zone when you play basketball in Australia to work to -- his hit nothing but -- baby John -- your W mark yeah.

I agree have a good point I want this he may we get legislature passed that you have to pay estate tax and income tax. In order to vote.

Yeah I'll probably get bulk electric back OK but I have vote but -- probably some pockets probably not be above. Okay visit term limits so period of -- just thought. They get very selective in their space out the review whether there was somebody Robert is not bigger jet -- the -- going to be above the earth orbit and art.

Then you have no representative. On all the cases it's -- Hot hot hot hot hot I could insurance. And I EI don't know that not enough not as appealing as it sounds I don't know I realize that none of the above is the night of venting mechanism you outages and then to do is say look I wish I could to in this guy on his via. But whatever for whatever reason you don't think he can get frustrated and you depressed what can I understand voter frustration I think I understand that as well maybe better than a lot of people who calling it. But don't limit yourself in terms of you -- eight in terms of you how to effect and don't pleased by by the globe editorial position. Q let's let's look at the hypocrisy hit by the way is the goal but the times or anybody else who editorializing is in -- this crap. Ever going to limit. Via our own right. To state deposition repeatedly. Into. I'll say poison but at least two to shape and to work flavor the political landscape of course they're not going to but they want to limit you are right in my writing code to.

Right I would like as -- I'd say I would like so women everybody's right to use money to influence rather than ideas let people go out let them have debates pick the candidate you like based on his performance. And based on what you see of them not because he's got a 100000 dollars to spend when somebody else has 5000 I was out of bed optimizing. -- for exchange of ideas. You gonna tell RKO that they should make this the the limited commercial space that make available for sale for money. That Arcadia ocean led every Tom Dick and Harry every needy with the stupid I know innings no -- I don't -- reforms and end then -- any so -- so you're already being selected you just -- open it up to all ideas and now you can lie ahead though is that I don't have any ideas on going to make -- no I'll lose the fill our. There should be able to go out there and hit the streets and then they do you -- I can go out there would have shoes of an open up but that's different for users asked me -- are WRQ good morning.

I good morning gentlemen credit data that this citizens. Are not being informed that there are uninformed. Partly or mainly because of well what I would -- the -- authoritarian. Manipulative media. Which which doesn't really informed I'm very well and then it quests that the fact. And now I just heard. Something just recently that I hadn't seen in any even newspapers. And that is our attorney general has changed changed the rules in Washington. To get -- right off. And the rest of them off to watch -- over the world without first statement -- Alaska. It was that the technicality. I understand that was done in order to get -- frank -- have you heard about.

Have less impact on what the results are because is too much corrupting of what people's views are in favor of cozying up to where the -- from Tom thinks the world is perfect. Don't ever try to mess with a politician because politicians are Angel this noble. Their noble good and all they want is your best interest whose side you are hot hot hot hot.
