Back and good morning to get Tom -- NEA in the RKO studio with Abby Nelson you're more obvious my co -- and collaborator for the day Todd Feinberg finishing out his final day vacation -- back in the studio tomorrow. Also in the studio tomorrow. We are going to have Joe Kennedy one of the three candidates he's the libertarian candidate for this vacant US senate seat. Presently right now we're delighted to have here in the studio with us Scott Brown. Regular listeners of this -- know that Scott has been in the studio with a as the number of times calls in a number of times. And is always always available to take calls and answer what is more than we can say for Martha Coakley who doesn't come into the studio and all it doesn't call and they know I try to be painstakingly. Failure but I do think mother has made a big mistake not the fact that she has not responded to our invitation I mean she obviously you have to do they would stay with -- hot -- what I don't usually have -- pick and choose but. Is reported in the globe today that she was unable or unwilling to respond to an invitation to up from the League of Women Voters. A very well known. Statewide civic organization that politics can be a little silly as far as I'm concerned but nonetheless there credible civic organization that sponsored. Debates that's for -- governor is US senators congressman also -- of elections over the years and the globe reports today that she was non responsive. To have that opportunity as well so I think it's mistake because I do think masters capable and credible but hey that's her decision she's the candidate she can live with the consequences. The joy of the moment is Scott Brown is with us ready to take calls ready answer your questions as we take your calls an -- and I have a couple things we wanted to stop with just to get a gallon that he you listen to pod of the debate last night and though you -- Yeah like some other things as well and you know I've been talking about what Scott brings to the table I think I think goes.
It's important for people to find out where senatorial candidates stand on positions so no particular or just starting with one off the top cap and trade. Where do you stand on it blood for an -- I think I -- need to understand what cap and trade is somebody played us really keep talking cabinetry what is that. -- cap and trade is a national energy tax we're basically you will do you will be taxed. By the amount of carbon credits and energy that you use -- hold him capping the usage of energy and intriguing -- it's it's it's actually convoluted in that. It's gonna cost people money now for example I was in -- beverage the other day and it's between five and six million extra dollars. In energy costs just to do what they're doing now -- asked me they're probably feeling. What does that going to do to my customer base in my gonna raise the price of product lay people off. The average family between fifteen and -- 2700 dollars just trying to lighten your home. It's something that we need to take a total approach conservation wind solar. Hydroelectric nuclear drilling -- the mean you're Rivera nuclear power and -- AM in Tom let me ask you when's the last time we actually built a nuclear power plant. Well as -- too long in my opinion but give her wrist and rarely buy apple thirty 35 years in France's 80% of their power comes from -- even even run against it. Okay any Marat Obama winning this can only on this -- your electricity bill is -- skyrocket skyrocketing resort as an aspect he didn't use that he's sedated and discuss first direct awareness Martha -- stand on the she is in favor of cap and trade and order a nuclear power. I'm not sure she didn't comment on top of that she's against it of that she's against you are in favor of nuclear -- just ahead on American absolutely do we need to take a total approach to get off season to help locate or editorial about -- went right on about location location location community in favor of wind power yeah and -- to -- that's like putting wind turbines and in the -- canyon that's in national treasure. Would that not only to the ferry operators the -- the chambers of commerce the actual towns do not want it yet the federal government because -- Piece of federal on Cleve land within that that area. There are circumventing the local rules and regulations there are I'm not opposed to putting him -- Harbors where we have fairly large industrial build up the news suggesting -- word nicely within that that. To have it right there I'm against it and -- that -- do you know he's in favor of she's in favor of -- when you're opposed OK actually I got the clear differences keep going I had a great. Pamela -- we're okay war taxes they've proposed by some Democrats in congress. That they should be a dish transaction closed on the American people to support the war. He -- the escalated war now in Afghanistan where do you stand on I'm against and it's a -- 816 billion dollars is what they're looking to tax the American citizens and in an effort to protect us yet they can pass -- trillion dollar spending bill and a couple of days. And and then obviously exceeds the what -- we can pay for the wars if we live within our means and not overspend between bailouts and stimulus bills. And you know the you expiring tax cuts and that higher health care at Texas and -- weakened we can do where as Martha -- she is has indicated her support for war tax.
Now let me mention something good we're giving those who Martha Coakley isn't here and we have to represent her positions -- she chose not to come and represent them herself. We your phone number four -- if she thinks or alien or somebody former campaign thinks that that. That the -- misrepresent the position she can call in the numbers and yours took Coakley numbers special number for Martha Coakley to call it. -- like you're having a red phone. 617931168. Well. So any of your buddies out there you call Martha Coakley in -- she doesn't like the representation the characterization of her issues of her positions on the issues she can call and 617. 9311680. Card check. We're east and number will not want to explain first where you stand on.
I'm against card check and I think it basically there should be a democratic process in which people can know openly and freely. Talk about or whether they want to unionize or not. And I'm in favor of the secret ballot I think it's one of the things that that makes our country great is that we do not need did anybody. Interfering in that process of voting and in secret -- plus. There's also another mechanism which provides about binding arbitration for an event that. And you cannot come up -- an agreement in math for new businesses and businesses in general there would be I think gay anti business.
This will eliminate this secret ballot yes -- no where Martha Coakley she's in favor of card check. Scott -- we -- a moment ago about the -- war attacks in my gripe about these so war is is not from a democratic pass official point of view from my gripe is that this war is being paid for by -- very few. And fox by even fewer. What's your take on a draft where everybody. Has to give. Some -- left to military service. And what you take on a war tax that's not paid by the small handful of people at the top the and other top three of 5% of -- But that everybody every citizen has skin in the game is -- foreign policy. That important to the American citizens that they all have to have some skin.
In that game well we have skin in the game and they meant that we hello al-Qaeda and the Taliban to join forces again in Afghanistan and get. -- handle on a nuclear weapons so we could have a lot of skin in the game because we need to protect our country in we have one of the best fighting forces as you know I I've been serving for thirty years and lieutenant colonel and and think about this issue regularly. To reinstitute the draft -- I think Pagliuca at one point said this is ridiculous we have a very one of the best of volunteer fighting forces in the world and they do a marvelous job with the resources that they're given. And we already have been under respect Tom a tremendous amount of taxation actually the the amounts that during the primary here we -- we really added up with the help of the appropriate. Opposite version management -- numbers in Washington. Two point one trillion dollars is what Martha Coakley is supporting over the next five years with the expiring.
But when he -- aware when I have to ask you how countries not paying anything yet half the country is a free ride in terms of foot in terms of national policy and national expenditure. So the burden falls upon those of us who -- earnest over a certain level. The Britain continues to go up on us. More than half the country continues to free right how do you respond to the what I would say the glittering in equity I know some people think oh it's immoral to talk about people who might only make. -- 2000 dollars the F. But they are beneficiaries to the same extent that Abbe and me and you up if.
Anti -- or -- I'm against it we're all in this together and everybody is already paying. More than their fair share of taxes. When it comes to you know supporting our troops in in supporting our the out of control spenders in Washington DC.
Not yet Columbia ruled -- you're going -- mean list. Michelle have to be yourself here and there are awards I started actually as much about tax policy as it is about how we pay for these wars are only two ways to -- to pay for -- It's and how would you redress -- samarra today I think there should be a baseline of taxation for every citizen nobody gets a free -- we all have skin in the game it's not like got. -- these 75% of the people are too poor to pay in this 25% -- rich so let's tax the rich I mean what are we gonna do eat the rich c'mon now that is if there's some limit. To what you should be doing and it goes to the rationale in my opinion the acceleration of this progressive nature of taxation. Wherever proposal now is always just to a little search on from the red.
Comments interesting YouTube claiming nano because there are how to control tax policies not only here in Massachusetts should be given beer tax meals tax hotels -- sales. If she's ignore how long you've been looking to tax additional money in transportation and -- gas tax many strong what's happening federally Medea. Expiring tax that's a higher health care costs. Cap and trade. War attacks and then you know you name in there they're gonna potentially increase of just general marginal tax received. The highest corporate tax rates in the world and at 39%. So where does it all and how -- ordinary people and how to businesses stay in business.
I don't ordinary people who -- make clear what I'm not Iger and from not argued -- attacks in crush on anyone in my unit for greater tax equity which means reduce the burden on the high Uranus. And get everybody else what's joined again now you're making a ton of honey it's a health and well not make an extra money but you don't been -- a lot of money for a lot of ideas soy and a standard which many the other thing is it's got this tomorrow on your shoulders and on mine and having. I think it's incumbent on you. Martha Coakley Joe Kennedy whoever else is -- themselves a candidate to be a little bit more specific than just say -- budget cuts. If it's if you think will all the tax by a trillion -- two trillion dollars. Tell us sweet cut the trillion until because I wanna Soledad generous and I those graduates are going to be about it's I don't wanna screw them let's not my style in my life manager of the -- country.
your grandkids it's in your great grandkids I understand -- right -- is frightening and and people. Independent voters throughout the stayed in Democrats or Republicans bottom bipartisan manner very concerned about. One of the things we also need do is put a cap on spending it and none discretionary spending needs to be brought under control. And put a freeze on all federal hires and and pay raises as you know. The average share of would have. Worker in Washington gets paid twice as much as somebody in the in the private sector and that's unacceptable so. We need to it can get a handle on everything that's happening and it's out of control in Washington. And but this is the keys and everything you just said we have twelve people down there right now that vote the same way the beholden in the same special interest. The answer President Obama and Governor Patrick. And Martha Coakley would be almost robotic in being the same way and voting the same way that they do she's already changed and it comes to her health care. For support. I would be an independent voice and voters I've always been appears you know because Europe there you are but I know we work together and would have been brought together occasionally it would have been nice to have somebody -- them looking out for the taxpayers Estonia special interest let's take some calls won't be surprised deal with got a full switchboard let's get right to -- James G.
Left -- out of the box with Scott Brown good morning and welcome.
Yes good morning to all 3 you probably this morning. Gotta think quick got a couple things host city debate last night oh he conversation last night -- you do it's really good job plus it's got I was very impressed ruby. Other callers -- over the last couple of hours after the program calling him back and offering support night. Support if you as well a couple of little tiny finger and then my nipple or rather in the local area -- first saying that there are people -- after the shuttle without their driveways and all the external bankers. Are you assign them right back up our top of the -- thank you that's pretty funny. That's a quick questions are. Could you explain the importance of the English birdie 41 cemetery I GOP senator if you are elected. The importance -- that could you possibly. I overturn this healthcare -- in January up your elected in joked but you're getting some national supported off from -- on the others have a good thank.
Well thank you I'm getting as miss much supporters I feel I need I was getting to know technology in the just guidance and I'm not. I know how to win a statewide election which I'm thankful for but on the first issue you writers a 41 senator reverses a sixty senator. Now let's just talk about that from minute there's a reason why Governor Patrick in and Washington President Obama manipulated the Senate succession issue and in Massachusetts. They took the power away from our governor Romney may give it back to Governor Patrick so they can send senator -- down there to be the sixtieth vote to be that rubber stamp. If Martha Coakley goes down there and I'm just drawing distinctions and listen she's a nicely we have great respect for -- just gonna -- what distinctions. As the sixty senator she would be a rubber stamp and basically do what Harry Reid in the prison telescopes -- 41 senator I can stop and I will have an opportunity to vote on this health care bill because. It's more than likely from what we're hearing that it'll come on a conference committee after I'm I'm there. It's -- important of foiled a cloture no worse to terminate the debate require sixty votes that's what happened and 1 o'clock in the morning a couple of nights ago. And the all Republicans voted against it so there were forty. We're voting yes have have been 41 -- that cloture vote -- 41 years is -- is key because. And there are times and I will vote for the with the Democrats is they've done here you don't out of the -- career up in the Senate to 58% of the time I supported Governor Patrick came Zedillo's. Tomorrow because I felt that he had some great ideas to save money. The taxpayers -- together we can was.
I'm proud moment not not not any Democrat supported I'm I'm not allowed I didn't see that let's go to John John is college on your -- it does state senator. End US senate candidate Scott Brown. The money John.
They come near Jalalabad I want to -- make a comment about what you said earlier above the free riders say yeah he's about these free riders it embedded. Not paying any taxes but. You position computer is new bit okay Massachusetts. Where we have so many free ride is here he was part of the states senate before voting to help create goodies for you -- it. You know where we're not -- national level I understand we're talking about the health care which I'm opposed it I think dead 60% of the -- Apollo. Why why they rubber -- goodness I have I've written -- testosterone to carry I've written letters to John Tierney. And it really is disheartening that when I get a letter back he's still. It's a a form --
Well -- thank you for the comic relief of your sending a letter of opposition.
Well look at how high basketball I -- humanitarian Cheney backs three times I had a dialogue with him because Diana's sister. Who was 32 years old in the developed inflammatory breast cancer right in in Obama -- she wouldn't be it today.
Dot etc. but they're also have implications John we appreciate the call Scott and I will continue -- Abby Nelson of course. Taking your calls and answering your question zero and AM 680 WRKO. It's overwhelming conclusion to be one solution that will help who makes sense of home.
Welcome back Tom Finneran and Abby Nelson bodies filling in for -- Alaska vacation today. Yeah cause flu related to my billion that great break some facts about how reclaimed his program a little as we speak.
So it's always great to have -- Nelson who was delighted to welcome and took rejoin in conversation state senator Scott Brown do you know mr. candidate one of the three candidates. Standing in front of the vote as a Massachusetts to to replace Ted Kennedy. The late. I United States senator from Massachusetts whole bunch of issues out there. -- in the first segment you mentioned polo beverage in my recollection is that located on the central mass around the Washington -- area Austria yup and you know there were competitive with the big guys you know Pepsi and Coke guys. And all those national change but -- local live got a great great product they've got a long long history to include family -- the Crowley family. You mentioned that cap in trade right. As proposed and has passed by the house so it's pending in the Senate where you propose to go would be a vote on this and you said wanna vote against that two -- is why. I went to polar -- just as one example. It customs somewhere between five and seven million dollar and six million dollars or six million dollars based upon their current operation as we have been operating usually remedy and doing forever how many people that they employed in the -- 1400. Fifth that's a lot of jobs in this economy and did you know there's no big YE market basket stopping job they do all the beverages ram does it comes out of there it's not just ball and they do. Almost everybody's been a real -- everybody so close so they'll do the store various areas -- as well especially dinner tonight there's a successful doesn't amazing facility. Now I have this extra five to six million dollars in costs is. Kind of one of them in the dreams I was is -- being discussed Weldon did during the cap and trade just discussion and in Washington. In Copenhagen recently. -- jets take on this whole global warming. Controversy. And what would sell a US senator Scott Brown do to address some of the concerns --
the there is climate change that the climate is constantly changing there is an ebb and flow of heating cooling and and mighty good question is -- what's men made him what's natural. And that being said I think it's a great that scientists are getting together to discuss this issue and let the people know all the facts it's important gather the facts. But to put -- at a competitive disadvantage in the middle of a two year recession. And have an energy tax on businesses and families. Which will cost cola beverages in many other companies in Massachusetts real jobs. For example they indicated they 2.5 million and jobs will be lost over the next. Ten years independent. Just because this one issue. So what can we do 01 of the things that that I know again ray brought up last night news. No that they're suggesting in Copenhagen is population control and you know and -- and -- throughout that I was kind of surprised that she had agreed with that and founded a little bizarre. -- that would be even greater control global warming and climate change but. It certainly won't want to underscore this Martha -- we came out and agreed to that clause that population control as a policy she would support bush indicated she indicated that she said yes I don't know quite sure what she meant by that is a little bizarre we all kind of looked at each other. During that part time period but more importantly it's an economic. Killer for the businesses in Massachusetts in in the country at a time when we need to. Do everything you possibly can be economically. Competitive throughout the world Scott what is what was your opinion opening in the conference that just standard -- I -- it was a good -- scientists get together and discuss you know the issue and in try to get more information out -- wanna make sure that the information is accurate. You know there was some indication that there -- some may be tampering of the of the facts and we've already gotten the globe and other papers. But. You know we are in fact going to be giving them what was it a 100000200. Million dollars. And I think we can use that money to help promote jobs here in the United States -- did you -- I guess you get to the point that I and I wanna make it does is it is slow start as I can. You have the feeling that it was nothing but shakedown. I have a feeling that Americans people that are certainly concerned about this issue very much and I think we could. And help more by getting off our dependence on fossil fuels by the issues I talked about earlier.
Well what was your was your reaction so at least the delegates if they can that the conference applauding everything that was negative about the United States in capitalism not applauding. Fraud like Hugo Chavez ring -- talks about. Socialism and Robin do your job -- growing and yet there have their hands out to get the wealth of the capitalist nation namely the United States it it's.
Fortunate that you know we we need and we are a world leader and we we take great pride in being that. But we don't start to get our fiscal house in order we will that have very serious said difficulty supporting. And issues like -- and helping people in their times of need and and providing a strong military because there's only so much money to go around we need to start to live within our means we need to get our economic house in order. And the proposals by Martha and the two point one trillion dollars that she's proposing over the next five years is not a way to do it. Scott is foreign affairs is going to be something that you be voting on and is very serious way for the first time really in -- of professional political Korea right. Let's talk about around it seems to be a conundrum to say the least bought everybody -- house -- Scott Brown look at the issue of Iran how would you approach -- what should we be doing on not doing well this is about distinctions and I need to just point out the distinctions because you know Martha doesn't want to -- meanwhile one. Martha must have to -- negotiations reluctant manager who's a holocaust and I wants to wipe Israel off the face the -- not even President Obama wants to do that. Now we consume them low level of State Department and discussions but. Iran is the biggest threat to add to that region into the world they want nuclear weapons are looking. No way to deliver them. And if in fact that happens that'll be destabilize the entire region we need to do immediate -- coney sanctions. With the support of of Russia and China. In -- pressure in China don't wanna participate what is Scott Brown do we have to we have to try to work them to do so because if we don't get the EU the European Union not the UN. The EU to come in with financial. Restrictions in basically stop the importing refined oil prices and you know they don't have. And ability to -- refining capacity should and that's huge share in the reserve bill that I support I think senator Dodd is set pushing into it to do just that does something similar to the random -- sure I -- discuss pro about the Iranian dissidents. And what does Scott Brown do about if necessary. A nuclear option. Mare I am sorry eight militarily this president -- military option everyone knows who's in the military that military options are always available in in Israel and in the rest of the region and need to address Iran. And they'll do so in in -- of the ordinary course but the first thing we need to do is this too strident support. Don't forget there -- 28% unemployment and their cash reserves are there are hurting because of the the look at the cost of gas so if we can get in there and hurt them economically to force them to come back to the table. It's important that just -- can most game. And I think the president is is handling that look at Motorola considerations do have a sister who lives in the middle school and London to give you advice on foreign policy now. I don't have a sister but more importantly. No and I defer all these foreign policy issues as Martha and said to Senator Kerry. These are very serious times it was serious issues affecting us and no my military services rose my legislative and legal service. In dealing with -- other in countries in other news I think it gives me an assuming advantage over her on this issue.
We're talking with senator Scott Brown whose candidate for the US senate in this race Martha Coakley you're hearing on his characterized. Her positions are important describe her positions. There's a phone number for the -- Coakley supporter as you call Martha Coakley she can call in if she thinks that somehow any of this you've been mischaracterized. Number 6179311680. Bill do we have that the clip of of Coke Leon and her sister.
I'm Joe Connolly. Ha ha ha ha ha I. -- on my sister who lives overseas and she's been in England and now lives in the Middle East -- spend a lot of time on my own traveling -- interest it is that the rest so. I attorney general and my response to please don't take me overseas on but certainly I grew of the time the Vietnam war on a student of history has been a lot of time. Trying to figure out how this country has -- has not been successful.
That's true Martha Coakley. Giving an answer the question of -- credentials are for foreign policy that is an unfair characterization she mentioned that she's visited her assist us. She's a student of history she reads she's all that they question that is an issue isn't exactly the same position Scott Brown this smart people the gonna study they haven't had to vote on this fellow bloggers energy -- as the State's own not -- ridiculous on.
respect -- vindicate as excited Paraguay inland and Paraguay and jump on a daily basis with the US ambassador. To work on issues affecting that country in the relation from the United States Martha doesn't have that experience and.
The does have a system. Why I asked not really does is he is so and I don't.
Don't have any foreign policy experience and which is really probably the number one our job of being a US senator and in the big responsibility lies in the US senate. It is going to be a learning her feel how big -- learning curve is going to be have you ever traveled abroad how often and what did you learn when you did.
I listened to cut I beg -- my vote TT but I first moved to a national radio station last night. And someone that lived in Massachusetts at one time called -- value. And he made -- case beautifully and he made Massachusetts case beautifully. If we don't -- UN. This stage is song. And I've been telling everyone and talking to everyone I mean you've got all the -- enhances. Your I'm so thankful that you in this race.
like this this and the candidate and doesn't remember all of the I'd really rather you called me and -- well enough Lamar monde thank you very nice job all that's right -- columns go to Tony hey Tony next Iran EO Scott.
But people were gonna be okay if we hit escape works. Everybody had deputy insurance sort of pop so you happy people prompt. Clearly why it took forty which is the most healthiest people in the group yeah. They were probably pay.
Argue that in -- system probably maybe.
58% of all the money that they put in the paper the opera for everybody else. So that means that people aren't they didn't taken for a -- all the young people. They're not gonna be sick the only people that they really have probable of people within these good people with. The actually it.
But we gotta get offered -- where would you Tony we understand that.
And have put it I beat you really -- I don't know wade talk about what -- Chavez got the Mendez speech. I would have been so proud of those present which I eight.
They can turn it around you I guess all the people already audience where all the people really did -- hundred billion dollars there they all have three adopted and we applaud the -- joker.
And let the Obama should come out that's.
I guess you don't need cap over his own money.
Yeah I'm going all al-Qaeda that these mistakes I -- you -- a little jealous tomorrow will only the finest was well taken regarding and the Medicare early in the health care proposal would cutting Medicare by half a trillion dollars a raising taxes by about half a trillion dollars. If you're senior -- as somebody in the military should be very scared. And if you have one of those so plans that you negotiating near union member you going to be Texans not to be there's gonna complain you should have. And a -- and I strongly agree that we need to have care and coverage for people we have many percent of the people insured here. Then we have we know we need to do you say hey you mean in Massachusetts -- you know and we know that we need to reform pricing that's the next step but why would we spend. About two trillion dollars and have lesser care longer lines and then lose jobs in Massachusetts. To help subsidize. Others other states for what they have not done and you saw what happened in Kansas with the -- Medicare waiver the minute men and Medicare waiver of the we are now subsidizing Kansas because they got a sweetheart deal when they were negotiating and in the -- passage of this.
The spells going to. Tell you Tony as a person to share -- colonel -- follow us on the issues as Tony Israelis. You do you start about the next step here in Massachusetts these managers costs its pricing reform -- how would you how would you do that when you when the historical evidence says. -- and -- and hospitals about 72 cents on the dollar anyway I understand dealing with good to doctors know what they -- how do we deliver. Just -- you -- 10% -- for -- over the Internet just give senate a five dollar bill. And haven't -- student. Two or three times more than what it. But it takes to do that that's one thing but managed care mandates as you know we need to get a handle on those we understand that's the case. The time you're a member -- before we are paying almost a billion dollars to the hospitals and the free care uncompensated healthcare pool. And that money was I'm just gone there we now have 90% of the people insured. The government option as was being proposed in Washington that would have it would that would eventually received. Suppose we could pricing in in Massachusetts especially.
Around Boston's talks resume AM. -- sixty. WR. Welcome back Tom -- Nelson Whitfield more of what Hollywood god -- for a few more minutes. Scott -- just wanted to. It's just before 8 o'clock governor --
Bettors obviously senator Nelson from Nebraska or anti hero of the Medicaid waiver. -- he had misspoken as wanna clarify the record but. Bottom line is independent voters they need to realize that this is a very important election and if they're hurting and they're concerned about the high taxes. The out of control spending not only in Massachusetts -- in Washington. Then they need to go to brown for US senate dot com and they need to learn more about the issues and what the distinctions are between. Arthur and media center and down there it's two point one trillion dollars in tax and increases and if I'm down there I can help up we'll curtail lot of the out of control spending in the references to Nebraska as opposed to Kansas.
No matter how they're supposed to many guys I think everybody kind of an historic we all get confused by this all laid to rest on a better idea where I and I -- questioned why is this a lot of contraris a couple of weeks back about attorney general Eric holder's decision. To do for a while grant civilian trials to KSM is kind of how we refer to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four run the folks. Lots of controversy from everybody down there in DC and across the country once you opposition on that -- attorney UCL a solitary turned out well.
You know and I think it's some huge mistake it's a propaganda tool for terrorist to basically. They get a hold of all are sensitive documents and provide constitutional. Benefits to people who don't deserve it. And that is another distinction -- Martha would rather have taxpayer dollars go to our attorneys to defend these terrorists then our soldiers soon to -- and outspokenly supports the move of that trial to New -- she -- last night that she supports. -- miracle if -- elected to go to the US senate would you vote to cut -- jurisdiction. -- from these federal civilian courts for those separate trials I I would make an effort to do so in I would certainly work within the the limits of of the speaking to the president and certainly reaching out to Eric Holder again and then. Telling -- that this is not a good idea and I think everybody knows it. Now why would we we -- next. Merchandise. The mine when he when we catch him and then bring him to New York for trying to do the right -- and silent I mentioned what's your position on closing Guantanamo -- I think it's unimportant to look at the status of that facility in the classification of it in the individuals there but my concerns and our allies. And others are using it as a political. Employee versus looking at it and during a time of war where we need it any area. A secure area two two teams so if for up -- a year you would keep it open I would I would certainly hope we can close it at some point but I don't think today's is the right time did you think that the Barack Obama deserves the Nobel Peace Prize now.
Scott Brown in the time flies by when you haven't so much fun I guess we'll what we'll -- away and a lot of you is this a commitment to return before the voters of Massachusetts get to choose between you. Joe Kennedy saw Martha Coakley. You've been great we're grateful to you we gonna take a short break for news -- I'll be back Scott's gone out on the campaign trail what was that website again what what time cute brown for US senate dot com and I accept a -- every day this this month for the till January 19.
