Howie and Scott Brown

322. The yesterday. We had a Scott Brown on the show and the key mentioned that. There was a poll that was being conducted last night and -- coming out I asked him why why are we seeing any numbers in this tough fight two weeks from today by the way the election January 19. You get a ballot down at your local city or town hall of the absentee ballots are all down there at the in the clerk's office. Well we have the numbers and the pretty surprising. Coakley holds slam nine point lead over -- and nine point lead that's pretty that is pretty amazing -- hurt voter turnout is expected for the election. The Rasmussen poll said the national health care overhaul is expected to played big role in the race the poll said -- state voters hold remote modestly favorable attitude really. I don't -- anybody who has a modestly urine in modestly favorable attitude. 53% of voters favorite 45% oppose it. Let's see. Coakley and brown hole large leads in their respective parties the polls said brown however holds a 6521. Edge among a mineral voters 65 to 213. -- one. It you know the you know you all the Democrats one of their talking points bid. Scott brow and is going negative that's you know you -- you point out what people's positions are in the issues in the moon bats college going negative. In that this was gonna hurt him. Yet the survey found that 21% of likely special election voters have a very favorable opinion of Coakley while 22% have a very unfavorable view -- for. For brown however the Republican. The survey found 25% of voters had a very favorable view of him and only 5% gave him a very unfavorable. -- So that's that's pretty good that's pretty good Richey I think it's even -- even closer among among likely voters here. You know the people who were actually gonna go out and vote -- fifty to 4050 to 41. Is it is quite close I mean it's it's what it's it's outside the margin of error she has -- lead. But there's a question you know who's gonna go -- it's it's probably didn't and now talking about this is that going to be the coldest went their. Since the 1970s. Perhaps Britain is running out of natural gas to heat their homes. I mean how many people how many Democrats disappointed with with everything that's been going on the unemployment rate the lousy economy -- Everything. How many of them are gonna turn out worsening Scott Brown's voters are pretty much. Excited about the race may want to get out. So joining us now on the phone line is senator Scott Brown will be taken a few questions here in the first segment for us senator Scott Brown. Senator brown you have to be pretty happy about those numbers in the poll that I the Rasmussen poll.

Well you know it's it's early they're good they're getting considering I was down thirty points a month ago but I'm on the underdog out of the -- make any mistake about it I'm not. -- we have been nation Alam and I need people to. Stay focused and continue to work and volunteer and make phone calls and get their kids and their parents and their friends out to vote. --

And value your say -- tell me what I call you that that the the in tabs they column this sort of a break out the breakdowns for various groups or even better than 5041. What is among likely voters what is the what's the blog what's the up poll results.

Votes -- don't to then it'll be a typical Massachusetts. -- yesterday's story that we need to make statement throughout the country that does business in Washington. How it's being run is not the way we want things to be done. And it was sent a message to people who are in office people who are considering running for office who give them the courage again to go up against. The machine and then let me tell you it is a machine. It's me against the machine all the labor buses in the the majority party Harry -- Obama. You know that the leadership here in Massachusetts and it's a challenge him that I am thankful for all the support the people are giving me.

6521. Edge in in the I'm enrolled voters were much more now I believe a bare majority of the us State's electorate that's amazing three don't want your.

Payment mortgage communicates to the movies pay for college the out of control taxation being proposed by market two point one trillion dollars of extra taxation. Her position on abortion wanting federal funding wanting to you know an increasing amount of partial birth abortions. And really not and wanted to lower the age of consent those are issues that affect everyday families and she's in they said the next person. Which is wrong on the issues that affect this control entirely the terrorism issue. The fact that she is have been very clear and supporting. The the this US -- attorney general.

Good afternoon guys ambulance got -- more and more in different places in this state not just -- I am not -- oral. And I gotta tell you if -- if -- as saying that that the poll the clone.

Early arrogant side but not really get out there I mean I've seen you you're out there that you meet -- people like chi seems to be be hiding behind the big heat.

Well you know I I can't speak for what she's doing and not doing all I know is that I've been pulling in a twenty hour days so I can barely talk I've got to go get some of the term actually think this afternoon and I'm working and trying to earn everybody's vote and and North Attleboro has should always come -- Peugeot one. The -- my opponent North Attleboro by your 5000 votes last time and I need every. Person in north to come out by either the soup works regularly and I love north go to -- server down there.

Please do that I'm hoping for a big showing from my place senate district -- at a restaurant chained as well.

And I will be no I don't care if this -- snow on the ground I will indeed thank you.

Thank -- thanks Gary. The summary of from investors business daily a brown upset would be seismic because it would reduce the senate Democratic Caucus -- 59 votes one vote shy of the sixty needed to override a GE GOP filibuster. That would mean the GOP could block a final health bill it's house senate negotiators make any changes to the Senate health --

Following are the differences I'm not going down at a VA as -- I was going to be a filibuster person but for this particular issue I feel very strongly. After analyzing and working very hard on what we have. -- what's being proposed in Washington will will really hurt. Massachusetts jobs doctors nurses hospitals seniors with a Medicare half a trillion cuts in veterans with the medical coverage being cut. And why would we even do it but we're paying taxes. For five fortified years before we receive the benefits and those benefits will be less than what we have. Can you tell me how to make any sense.

All I've been wondered if John Kerry is getting that same -- from the doctors at the man -- Mass. General where he's spending a few days after a simple placement because I couldn't find when I was in Mass. General I didn't find anybody there who was for the us.

However I loved when you today rose during the debate the issue all the you know the doctors and AMA -- in favor of it. Well now the doctors who -- working. On the front lines in the hospitals they get it in the ones that are treating patients they get it they do not want this bill because it's gonna hurt. -- payments is gonna reduce. The amount of flexibility they have to shape people's lives. There's going to quite frankly you know tied their hands when it comes to making in health care decisions.

Thanks for the call Gary Dave your next with Howie Carr and senator Scott Brown go ahead Dave.

Got good afternoon but it how are you. Tired OU yeah I I I I appreciate that well you got my vote and many of my friends in fact one of my email me today he's gonna be had a panic went down and got an absentee ballots so we could. He cast a vote for you and very subtle thing I'd like to I'd like to make a comment and then. Make a suggestion I saw the the BTV -- last night the truck data on bad -- They're just passed 200000 miles about twenty minutes ago yet tonight that I'd like to see you're at get a little bit tougher though on the competition I'd like is that like to see you go around Al sponges. Rather than the you know everybody election anyway there's nothing not to like about it so I'd like to see try to take.

Let's say he's mean Dave haven't heard yeah --

See that's gonna work that's not gonna work in their favor because everybody knows that he isn't. But the other thing I'd like that I'd like to suggest is that. It when you're. Question regarding. Healthcare reform. Would it make sense for you'd -- refer refer to it not his health care reform but it. Healthcare rationing in any further further debates. Abolish it and I appreciate your taking the time --

Well please -- could turn -- Howard first of all of them are actually calling in and speaking to make. The you're you're right we -- with the Senate about personalities and they said innovative very very clear. You know that there's saying that attacking her I'm actually not she's a very good person and I respect what she's done in her professional life but. They're we have very clear differences which is just wrong on the issues that affect. Everyday people and start good timing for the policy issues pushing so that we had a cup we've got a good at that woke up the nation with a JFK had. We have another at the talks about issues that are affecting people. We have everything planned out and we're we're -- in exceeding all of our markets were going to be very competitive. The next two weeks because I'm going to be coming up against the machine I know it you know it and over the need everybody's help to desist. I don't mind being the point person and in doing my very very best. But many people to really. Take notice what positioning -- wanna give voters did you vote I would. Period that's what you know just think of that anyone who's pushing you right now if they dropped that they were doing and went down and voted for make sure that they go to going out in January 19. I went. So you have the power are -- to do it on your own.

I'm doing the best buy -- I'm I'm well I'm a loyal constituent that -- the district I'd have my wife has had parties for you.

All parties yeah margins and more importantly you've got a great family my daughter's love your girls. And but the dogs are gonna have to talk about the dogs.

The -- that dogs were getting walk today by one of those college kid you were talking about Albright's -- we ran into Mensa wanna watch dogs. Scott Scott we got to ask you about the -- be upset you got data slapped around in The Herald today on the per Diem that's the I had them the traveled the -- my area you -- for going back and forth. To this from the state Howard that's.

Pretty simple little -- other respect it comes out every cup every year they do a story after DMZ I take whatever entitled to be paid. No more no less but more importantly I've taken a voluntary furlough it was a couple 1000 dollars I am donating -- raised. He almost 3000 dollars to the senior citizen food pantries in my district you know that -- about to send you. Those. Those checks I'm willing to do another furlough. So he I have an elected official I get paid and that's -- I don't know what else to tell I'm happy to do my part. And but the out of control spending right now it's this far exceeding. You know our mileage forgive my -- have a track it's four years old they get 200000 miles on it. It's it's one thing that we received -- In -- us assailant.

Yet what's gonna happen to Dellucci -- tomorrow.

Well I don't we're hopeful that he will resign. And obviously if she if she does and I'm I'm I'm hearing and thinking and hoping that the Senate president will do in order expelling him. And I'm sure it'll --

Then I can refer to the quote unquote refer to the ethics committee.

Well I think bush by. Internal senate rules they need to do that district I think -- I I'm sure it'll be a pro forma type of thing I can't speak too much about any case. -- appointed to the ethics committee on that. But judges they -- I think he knows what needs to be done and it'll it'll work itself.

and -- people he never has before CNB says but you know the other thing is if he stays again I mean you could be the point man for the Republicans that might give you two or three days of you know coming out totally on the right side of the issue.

Hey Troy but I've never been one to pile on I just think it did is right -- on him and he'll he'll get it.

Jeff you're next with Howie -- and senator Scott Brown go ahead Jeff.

you how about a about a project to pick my call problem first public -- the masters as residents wake up and rebuke to -- or just put Democrats it and not get a Republican then we can move on yeah.

What your true diversity. -- diagnosed people so we just put the first woman down there -- well to respect we have already a woman in the delegation. You want true diversity that you put a Republican down their. Because they'll have eleven Democrats and one Republican. Of handle it and I know that bit no that's not true balance but Italy's. Creates see the appearance of fairness when you're having open and fair discussion on issues that are affecting every person in the United States. Into doing otherwise backroom -- this Nebraska. Pay off in the Louisiana purchase. We're paying for that folks we are subsidizing other states for purity did not only are we going to be paying.

And that's how we got to cut to write.

You know -- always a 500 the 500. Billion dollars a million -- billion like announced. After billion dollars. We're already paying for that you're paying for that twice so and all you pay for health care plan in Massachusetts. You're paying for that money that -- federal government's giving you and why should we -- every time we need money go with a tin cup rattling down Washington. -- we need help what do we just solve the problems ourselves. If we need a little tweaking once we've streamlined and fix this plan that we ask for a bit. You know we don't need an artificial bail out.

CNB thanks for the call Jeff CNB here next with how we -- senator Scott Brown go ahead CNB.

I have they had an autograph session I am I keep fear campaign campaign and I don't have a consent -- deeply touched down -- with a few of the car. I just wanna make sure that when you get to Washington that you're going to be firm and opposing. The health care plan because as. Usability is senate for the image of the library's living in the week you get voted for the one that we had here right but that's.

Totally different when you're paying a billion dollars to the hospitals in the uncompensated healthcare pulled. We were paying for people who are making 708090000. Dollars. While walking into our emergency rooms and not paying their fair share so everyone -- insurance is paying for. We had an opportunity get reimbursements from the federal government to provide it you know a low cost plant for people. But we need to reform pricing we know that. But the plan has been -- Washington is nowhere near as good better here I give you my word. That I will not be voting for the plan has been proposed right now I wanna send them back to the drawing board and help other states. Do what we've done and help them be innovative and creative so we can learn from maybe from what they.

You don't send him back to the drawing board Scott's -- the the the retirement home and I had a hat. C a thanks -- Georgia thank you don't chanted you mean sort George your next with how we cards senator Scott Brown go ahead George.

Yes. I got I got -- got the Internet cooked up here Scott.

And what I'll order you really get modern however -- unaudited I think senate Brian you know if Kim explained over the field clear to everyone. But my point is is that the listeners from Connecticut Rhode Island and Vermont Massachusetts Vermont New Hampshire Maine. Is that you don't have to wait until the November of 2010 that that your frustration. That it's time that we can. Short circuit that and -- support Scott Brown. And make things happen and clearly no break that sixty vote. Senate -- that they have. Make that happen and you can Oregon boy it is all your listeners outside of Massachusetts. To support him I have children grandchildren Massachusetts not talked to them. But as far as us support we can support senator brown and.

And -- than what silhouettes that web address against senator.

Thanks so you go to ground with the US senate dot com but more importantly people from Arizona and throughout the country can we actually have a setup where you can call from your home in Arizona. And that we haven't if you have a computer we can chat you up so please -- contact the office we need every person throughout the country. Who cares either donate which should certainly be helpful or let their friends and family know and and obviously. Massachusetts to get a mountain vote.

Thanks for the call George keep less -- out there and not Tucson. Belliard that we'll take one more call -- what you did you already know your next with Howie Carr and senator Scott Brown go ahead belt.

And senator -- my wife and I both voted -- and it. In the case. Absentee. I cannot. I mean re emphasized -- play your last caller. You're gonna be the breaking vote and in 47 years we've got to tolerate. Democratic Party running -- senate at the all time people get out. And go -- get their first call that that it did I get it going and then in patent cast the ballot. Very simple.

Well you're you're avoid lines especially obviously there's certain rules and regulations to follow -- you know if you're if you're working you've really -- to be stuck in traffic. -- you have health care issues you have other reasons why you can't vote. And share those with the clerk and they'll look at their ballots -- bishop.

Sometimes they change location of the precinct tool like like what's happened then now one of the towns in your --

It's not well I don't know school I know I've completely I completely got the health care or reform. I lost three PPP's been -- my PCP. Recently and that I'm I'm worried that might peacekeeping -- I don't know I was gonna quit. When your finger stroke in three years from now and I'm gonna end up paying for it. And I take my own generic.

Well you're one of the people that will be heard. If you're paying your insurance and it's -- if the government option goes through this now with the federal government once and you're gonna be penalized.

So they're military belliard at this series now we get out there -- vote you do it is the first opportunity we added. Agent to do something wrong.

This is a good week it's gonna be called but there's not going to be any precipitation whatsoever this is a perfect week to just go down you drive -- City -- you driving by town hall just go -- over find a parking space -- invoked. -- all right it's -- case god bless and thank you congratulations I know it's just us a snapshot as they but it does say yeah.
