Can hear.
I'm proposing that we take thirty billion dollars on the money Wall Street banks every day -- to. To help community banks give small businesses. So what this -- sport -- this money isn't -- Integrity to be forthright about it star import from the T Aaron. Why are you here against the money -- not much where's it coming.
I get.
Let -- go through the -- we're working through this. I just that's the oh okay -- And may god help there's. World headquarters building -- to all my own talk.
It's Wednesday good morning we now have a president who's unlike any other president we've ever had because he admits. That you all of us. New York -- are all. He actually -- hero -- almost every day is coming -- he was an embarrassment often mastery -- hilarious it's great friction on the front page because my family's this -- he's taken off.
Take care of us noticed get down with it is amazing the impact Scott browns have all walks all candidates does it -- the president comes your way out of your data to the court this morning. But Cosmo thought -- ha ha -- He's too skinny he gets his skinny as a rail imperial earliest of these this can hardly got a guy Obama's physique he looks fine he's -- Yeah that's how it's supposed to be a couple is -- one of those obese politician a couple of cheeseburgers and help. He doesn't share. So are the New Hampshire wind picks up there with what centerpiece stepped outside the Nashua North High School now he's just doing a result right down the street he's in good shape he works out. He's doing fine until -- hair from her skinnier than mr. speaker some pictures. Of a topless president -- ha ha ha ha ha. Scott hasn't been elected yet. I didn't -- Scot -- is gone a little I did discuss normally I have a little fun I was a little fun -- real expense -- Scott -- who has -- It it triggered a thought -- two about the dynamics of recent elections I think. Massachusetts is so it has given two out of three. The is in Massachusetts is involved a two out of three silliest elections that have seen in my lifetime Deval Patrick Deval Patrick number one's. And Scott Brown number two what was silly about that and those -- in the third one is Obama it's the elevation of people. Who have not done anything. Significant assumption -- we'd just say while soft -- that's umbrella -- fired for the for the US senate Scott himself who said. Both humbling and accurately. I've never done anything to. I give anybody a basis for thinking a thing having a while response to something you don't he'd been. A relatively small fight for the US senate there's nothing foolish and audio I didn't say any of them were not qualified. No you what I said it was an Atlanta and elections you -- it's Obama's was clearly foolish use completely -- somebody -- serious responsibility. Who is not demonstrated. A pattern of achievement. In other positions that have less responsibility that's my point -- do it. Which was -- to do with some frequent let's.
brown who and we -- Deval Patrick you know agree with might finally has no leadership -- experience he's -- you often do you agree with Barack Obama Barack Obama is less qualified for the presidency when he ran. Then Scott Brown for the US senate. No that's arguable but -- it's a reasonable people the disappointment of the -- are now to close -- now anyway you itemize beyond Scott had more elected positions got more I was elected more times to those positions he's made -- more years -- Halen is superior to both of them don't have -- don't bring in another personality I mean EU EU said silly elections and -- and then there's nothing -- silly might be. The in grand -- and after the -- out of -- brown that's -- out of -- that's not totally separate from the election and you'll -- has -- you know would have been absolutely foolish were -- is based on her experience Martha -- going to the US senate and that discussion I get pissed off when I hear that some -- week because Martha -- we were sold thought she was a woman that's why she didn't -- how hot she's got three years as attorney general people and we -- anyone mocking or qualification isn't who was silly about the way they approach politics and evaluate candidates would say oh she's a woman it's time when a woman I agree with absolutely the most ridiculous and superficial my -- X 800 from all -- though they use the -- caught you like they used the black historical elect. Nonsense -- Brian hall how much delta cover up that he's got no experience. But important Martha Coakley was eminently unqualified for the US absolutely not unqualified that is -- rages Qaeda and ridiculous state or at what visions where she's a very serious skilled achievement oriented lawyer she's dead now you're trying to sell qualifier for the US senate what are you kidding me. You have to do you ever tried a case of serious case do you know the type of preparation and solid all -- lawyers who done trial worker qualified on the US Oneida. --
Half when they run an office it's not just a trial experience it's the administrative experience you know how big the Middlesex County DA's office is do you know how many employees they have -- supervised you know the size of the budget and allred the attorney general's office and how all those things -- off. And either responsibilities that Scott Brown had. I'm not being critical Scott he won that election appearance where she lost that resoundingly based upon. In inept campaign. But in terms of qualifications we just. -- take the names away and have a -- what are callable I'd resume you'd look and say in terms of protecting my next US senator. None of the appropriate but it pick mother Coakley. Over. On the Scott Brown based on experience based upon experience and achievement. And achievement I it's hard to have any achievement when your legislator isn't. I know you can you can distinguish yourself you can only hear their furlong and -- well no you don't have to be the a -- enough to have an impact how do you have an impact. Can you -- you do your homework you prepay yeah I legislation you fight for legislation and you advance -- And Eddie also play defense by a white car window when the crap is coming through the system. You and how to play defense and stop it and bring to light the crap I don't see how you -- in deep I don't see how you do that -- in a couple of terms but well can you point to anyone who's who's done that kind of thing in -- in a relatively short period preterm senate career. I mean is a you know it's an argument firm and making people have more experience even for things like the US senate -- what bothers me I don't -- obvious Carolina I don't warrant Coleman is a -- and generic example -- Holman. Was a very skillful legislator had disagreed with a -- lot of his politics but he's a very very skillful legislator who is very good what he did in the could play offense and defense. He did not have a lot of power he was on the outside sometimes he was seen as a thorn in the side of leadership. And yet he was so he was quite effective. You don't quite tell how many years did you sir. I think around to have probable on the same period of time as Iraq as soon as possible we took a three term cure our husbands -- things gonna grant -- grant you that this I mean in a legislative it's NASA and it provides a definition it's a collective body. So there's no one person who's either that.
Has more experience. Then Ted Kennedy get. When he went into the seat while Ted Kennedy I never should amend -- trips -- I mean it's it was a horrible thing done of the people Massachusetts but you know 61726. Customizing my about the dynamics of elections recent elections to under the three more interesting ones in terms of the embrace of novelty. Without looking at a body of work. It's the embrace of hobbled -- devoted.
Did they who would look to the body of Orkut Coakley witness said that was an embrace and a novelty that was the institutional choice right. -- a better choice based on his experience because you did a legislator he's -- three different positions. And he's got more or are you -- exposure to the kinds of issues it's gonna deal more than the US senate schedule every level you look at it he's got better experience Martha -- is -- policy knowledge. She calls her sister. John and sale and we RWR yeah.
They got a -- John never worry about -- Okay give if I hate finder and you're talking you just under it again all right.
But it you know something not just we just what we don't you have no water lawyer today hidden in all -- this. Well I understand I -- there's just opened totally different vote struck prompt there -- the same wholesale volume always always.
Don't courage and John I don't disagree with the she allowed herself to become the institutional candidate Jim on her that's her decision. She has enough. Independence enough moxie. Two not allow that took her she allowed -- worker but I mean they're both lawyer is on the -- she's got a lot more experience and administrative executive in trial and I haven't got a can of moxie in the fridge but got a lot of cars got. Well John I think I'll know you he's going back to find -- the power to the right here in the car your backside right. -- hello Brian good morning TO.
Good morning to you -- you forgot the most ridiculous election in the history of Massachusetts the election of Senator Edward Kennedy. Truer words never spoken by Eddie -- make it you want name where it would bought. Instead of Edward Moore Kennedy your candidacy would be a chill you know it was -- 43 year joking. It'd -- over 69 when he let that woman trapped in an air pocket for thirteen hours would no explanation. That you have been the second and.
This is what gets me about this topic and -- starting off about how this is silly elections were having what could be more silly. Demo allowing ourselves to have a monarchy forced upon us by the carries -- at the same. The scenario play out again when Martha Coakley who was being forced upon us nobody wanted hurt nobody likes her we're told she's a woman were all gonna vote for the vote don't -- don't.
The data collection at the top of the list you work along.
Brian I I don't disagree with and I think you heard me say that Scott Brown brings more to the table with his -- with his election in his swearing -- And Ted Kennedy did at the study is correct that's indisputable that's absolutely indisputable Ted Kennedy -- haven't had some troubles -- went to law school was an assistant DA for a couple of months -- a block people or -- by the Kennedy thank what is so what did king candy face -- music for killing health -- for B and the one -- more responsible anybody else in America for -- on -- healthcare nobody ever tells that story Allan -- and -- tell -- and we tell a story Carlyle -- this around the house.
and Al go online not much you try to retire at the data I am a Democrat was gonna board from opt out. And what disqualify rightly or disqualify her for me was -- that you actual. Anybody in that position of power like earth that would allow that can't happen. Got initial read The Wall Street Journal articles blogs and Harold -- all after that I am uneasy that she's.
Up brought up -- but I got amazing Alan I went out of time for a couple of days and -- couldn't wait until the Coakley campaign but you're all right. And Angola are gonna -- gets shot and then. It's amazing the fix was the things we did a -- brought to the end we were and I knew we weren't -- I'll never go through the -- will work through this hard plus doesn't congress get yelled at and called. Socialist because I feel I -- that's. I roll up my blood for punishment home to a Boston's finest all and the best baseball team in America. Almost a Red Sox are on Boston's talk station and AM succeeding W or Kerio.
Yeah I -- actually seem so relaxed and you don't win blank and two missing pregnant on lacks a track east of all the the things you had.
Yeah. It's Wednesday night finished sure talk a little snow out there. Maybe that's right they're green hill is right we've got our stones. Could just demo plunging -- like a dog on a leash. How many have you had so you have not. Three mania I just say carry into this false. A pastry the other sister told us his routine and -- to entice foreign hostages -- fist votes are what are you kidding me UNICEF the one she does it very gracious truck all you like a junkyard dog. You've got to begin Maine now he's patient and you won't have five or six stones down before we get to 6 o'clock hot. Yes she should chewing your sort of buried in a very tasteful best of the Scott Brown effective just continues to percolate it so much fun you've got Barack Obama the whole move a whole new. Image a Little League team joint approach -- he's not bush and something nobody wants any more -- about the economy and took from a year realize. There when there's a devastating economy going on it's good to try to do things that that would fix that in that talk about that when you're out on the stump. These guys are so that's already a big things you don't you remember that did that would to a big thing I gotta read you some from game -- I copied SI did hand I started reading Esther a look at this now embarked passage this will be interested us. -- you remember when I David Axelrod the proposal with David Axelrod wrote to Barack Obama got in order to entice him to become a candidate the proposal on. What -- why it was a good idea was leaked a few months ago and is available on the Internet and in it one of the points he made it was don't think that this isn't the best time in your current for president just because you're unqualified and inexperienced in fact. That helps you when this was something you told us early on in the Obama campaign that he benefited. -- under qualified because you couldn't find any issue Obama had ever attached himself to. And that was part of his planned -- OK listen this Harry Reid. Who first saw Barack Obama hated being a US senator. Didn't like the job didn't like sitting around listening to people pontificating endlessly at our lovingly unless they were listening to him yeah exactly is plenty of occasions were a dollar they were they -- one incident they quote in the book game change is. When Joe Biden happens to be speaking and he's he's coming out saying Heidi got the idea how to we have to listen. Crap goes on every used a vulgarity beyond that I. He being Barack RI can okay complaining about how you just have to -- the Senate if you become able guy and very tedious low ratings of -- I love this weren't -- so. So Hariri about a year into his senate career and the US senate Harry Reid calls -- been thinking about running for president he's been trying to formulate his themes and is trying to decide whether it's presumptuous of him or not. And Harry Reid calls a man and says look you're not going to be a lifer in the Senate this is not your career you'll like it here don't usually run for president. And Harry Reid was manipulating behind the scenes along with a lot of other senators who were afraid to stand up to the clintons and oppose Hillary that -- so on the surface there there -- behind Hillary. Harry -- one of them behind the scenes he's there working actively encourage Obama -- because it and guess what you've got you do you mean to tell me that Harry Reid was saying one thing in doing about it and I imagine that. And that they were concerned about Hillary the big concern wise. That they investigated they decided that Bill Clinton was having an affair and they just they thought that the -- get the nomination and then would be torn apart by -- of -- All right so. There are Reid was excited about Obama for a number reasons he was wowed by Obama's oratorical gifts believes -- country. Was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate especially one such as Obama. -- light skinned African American with no negro dialect and less he wanted to have one as he later put it privately a look at satellite level which is god created the scandal but. I think the rest of this more interest and Reid was convinced in fact. That Obama's race would help him more than hurt him in a bid for dumber the democratic -- is absolutely right we talk Reid was absolutely right on that he argued. Then Obama's lack of experience might not be crippling it might actually be an asset -- true to cast himself as a figure on corrupted. And on -- did by evil Washington without the burdens of countless senate votes in floor speeches. And unlike Clinton. Obama had come out forcefully and early against Bush's Iraqi incurred only go so that was -- actually he's black the -- is inexperienced being sure that strayed. Criteria got to let me the leadership in the Democratic Party realize this was yeah.
This is the messiah. Two out of it's it's an it's an amazing route inside but it's not so amazing because what they analyze this and talked about -- without calls for a good long time now. I recall though this goes back home it will happen maybe 2000 at some time into it had it is summer of 2007. Summer of 2007. In the Obama. Phenomenon was being talked about it became to be you as I recall for rally in the students row. -- up. -- The type of change agent he said he did -- about what's enemy this is a change election people of fatigue with bush going to be all about change. He thought you talk about that yet. And debt so a target a solid month and -- introduces me to Axelrod would just give it away I'm doing the show and I said it in Obama was coming in in the next into an essential. Can a guy would like to come on yeah. And I televise you know I would presented this way. I play it straight down the middle -- ya when Democrat former speaker of the house but I don't kneecap people I don't ambush people give them a chance to talk a might have a couple of questions. And no fun and how how hot and Axelrod kind of smiled and said well you know we've got to kind of a set and a gender and will give it some thought -- if you look at that and the entire eighty of their. Campaign. They avoid it sure they avoided. Places like this not because -- KO is right -- talk talk but they have the right places like this they avoided potentials for mistake because they didn't want him on the record and that's just like Martha codec issues the Obama model it is say they don't want him on the record. They wanted to be in front of friendly audiences the script to bridge -- how is yesterday's oil Hampshire teleprompter. Did you see -- don't -- any tips or teleprompter and they do control crowd every breath he --
