We get images talked to the governor. Governor's day -- to welcome my dogs are.

Can't -- how are you hung like treat it.

governor it's where I look at how I treat life and I. I'm gonna journal cab myself.

I'm doing well we're working hard we have a special election in New Hampshire today one of our State's senate seats it's not -- it's not the US senate seat like the -- election but it's an important elections for assay and that's. And though it's it's one of the swing. District so we're hoping that our candidates -- he does well and we we have our fingers crossed but we we hope that. And folks who believe in small government low taxes and cutting spending in bow and can get -- but it looks it. Manchester awards won two and twelve we wanted to get out and vote.

Yeah well this weather urging governor tonight with the with the weather.

However I always carry it impacts turn out but we think we've got enough energy in our and our folks I -- that they're frothing at the -- nowadays you know they want. They want. You know people were talking about change people want real change -- wanna clean that lead that big spending big taxing crowds out so I think. Our folks will go out it may actually help us because it doesn't seem to be much energy on the other side.

Little bit of buyer's remorse going on governor is known to think of why are you how are you now.

And buyers remorse I I think it's just don't fitness. -- buyers remorse is one thing but people. -- people people voted for platitudes in the last election. Did you know what they're getting -- getting platitudes they're getting nothing you know performance. No delivery you know your intro. You're intro had the sound clips from John Brennan.

The fact that that 20% recidivism and terrorists still in bed he's comparing it to a 50% recidivism rates. Isn't isn't car thieves and marijuana pushers studies comparing 20% recidivism. It people who want to destroy America and blow up buildings and kill people. There's a big difference mr. Brennan and if you guys don't understand it then then I'm more scared about the Obama administration being power. That Iowa yesterday.

I actually have friends -- during a minute it did he was on under the Bush Administration as you country you know he he -- the counterterrorism -- Which hasn't gone well then he then leaves. Public service and goes to a private company to that -- run that ran the watch list and now when a truce. Did by terrorism adviser and a general Jim Jones. When this thing happens in December 25. With the -- bomber breading vacations are on just tell you this is not a good star I think the guys who part.

I don't know a lot of people they should cease fire a top to bottom.

But at that what it's okay so. What do you think about this -- situation Evan -- did get a senator Indiana hit eighteen million dollars of in this war chest and he's walked him away. And -- at exist we are who you look at how big turnaround in 2010. Republican Democrats.

I believe it or not I have nice things to say about Evan Bayh. He was -- eight -- center. Moderate. Democrats who understood that smaller government. I meant was better that lowered taxes were better they're cutting spending was better I don't think seven was afraid of losing. I think -- I was afraid of winning. I don't think he wanted to serve again look at this isn't the same syndrome that's happening. In Massachusetts. It's it's happening in New Hampshire and it's happening around the world around the country. Traditional Democrats are looking at their own party. It has been taken over by the radical liberals will go we did you end up and they're saying we want no part of it and and I said I want no part of its.

Eight and and -- to the subject ulcer he was also talk about it brought to congress he wasn't just talk about Democrats. And he's he's he's he's.

I don't understand. But the iPod has -- the sort of partisan problem that he had that I think triggered it was the jobs bill. Well yeah he and other Republicans got together. -- that Democrats and Republicans put together a bipartisan package for a jobs bill wasn't the greatest package but it was better then then. Then the partisan package that Democrats are trying to shut down people's throats. And Reid walked away from it. Abandoned it in favor of the partition one sided packaged and vice said that -- bet that that's the straw that breaks the Camel's back he's.

Okay you've got the election coming up. What he which your gas what you're you know unlocked and I would which is swing -- is -- many seats change hands do you think in 2010.

I doubt that it. Well I guess the Republicans take control -- out of control. Yes you think the post its seventy seats we. Absolutely okay let's say it happens it's not like Tibetan exiles instinct when I'm an acute and you've got bet it did not so disseminate important -- and on the musicals and welcome I don't an army guy. Sweet but that's a 78 Republicans what they -- out for sure. And -- is that we're gonna okay Maynard who into resistant gonna happen gives you -- and gonna get picked on this notion. Hold itself and no no no no where is -- dinner going to be Boston new workers are you gonna. They can't if you want to expensive at Boston if you are already in no way am I love the answer. I looked good at odds are you're on -- that then -- I think its length of twenty I thought when he announced club outlets you know you.

I don't know you are 18 so it's ridiculous it's. They're Republicans are the world will take how has a good chance of taking it.

See you thank you gotta -- okay let's say that let's say whatever numbers right. Let's say you get a big boost Republican side.

What use how how is it is getting done now Pelosi puts -- Bob -- In the last year. With fifty Republicans vote away on top not one of them gets the Senate. How is when when we when we changes hands -- what happens when you're gonna bigger government and -- we hear your families the minute how what happened here.

First of all understand one thing. Nothing goes wrong when nothing happens. Nothing goes it gridlock. You know what I went to high school it was called checks and balances and it was good. And now -- gridlock and then make it sound bad. I don't have a problem with it being difficult the -- legislation. I think it requires you to sit down and grind out differences. And if so what I see. It's the same kind of thing that happened in 94. Republican congress -- the president. Conservative legislation like welfare reform. And they send it wants and they -- it twice when they sent it three times. And finally get signed it doesn't mean things will be easy. The tragedy of course is that they make then make Obama look good. Success so -- that you might get something done. Which is good but but that's frankly the important thing is is at least we stop the in debates.

I would think with you with debt with the recent -- touch your. You're Stanley has served our office John rebellious son was a great senator or some definitely gas that he got kicked out like that. That -- Okay that lets leave that one okay.

But but.

Tom do it what is happening in the Senate and if I'm even close right with a 200 -- that would end with with some Republican support.

Nothing gets nothing yet has agreed to that incompetent -- etc.

It really it is and look at look at Reid's popularity.

Terribly stable as as maybe. McCain I mean but yes -- unpopular but that's and is as a manager leader in the Senate isn't that.

Yeah look at the hard -- let let's spend at least acknowledge that it's hard to manage the Senate. Sixty rule. Sixty vote rule is a difficult thing it was hard when Mitch McConnell. Was running yet it was hard when that when. Trent Lott was running it it is a difficult daunting task but it should be -- difficult. Should be done I think it shouldn't be easily capacity. Legislation that is that says -- sure kind of legislation. And so I don't have a problem with legislation not being passed I have a problem with the garbage they did.

Governor you've got a date a lot of people to that's an -- and you just talked about it. People assault test at what's going on now you don't see this film is not just Democrats at this stats are. And it's not they had dipped as did both sides are people screaming about what happened last administration talked about spending -- out of control.

Tell you right but you're normal. Let me explain it needs let me explain -- everybody is angry at every one up. But they also are smart enough to recognize. That the first step to fixing it is changing control. And the Democrats are in control that's why it anger. They support it. Scott Brown in Massachusetts.

Then -- in that there was a -- getting at besides. Well and she was not a good and it they sucked into.

You'd think it do you think that the only reason. You've been hanging around and lost.

Sir I'm -- as one reason -- was a great gimmick he's got a friend of what I like the dot. What got cold -- as terrible as can Ann and Scott did a great job and by the way got a lot of money.

By the way if you look at if you look at the results in Massachusetts it was a across the board --

Support Hollywood used and I hope we kids don't. Well -- doesn't get.

We have at six special election in New Hampshire. -- since 2008. Republicans have won five and in the district we lost. We looked -- by a hundred some odd votes in the district it's traditionally total one Democrat. We have another special election debate in his swing district I'm confident we should win that what. My message is is that people you're right people are angry at everyone but they're angry at the people better and control. And the people veteran control in New Hampshire right now the Democrats and their taxing and spending just. Like like it's go out of style and the people better control in Washington Obama Reid and Pelosi are. Bankrupting America. -- and and people understand that so they are when it comes down to going in the ballot box they were going and with -- against every once and they gonna throw the Dem.

I do got to have some better candidates and some of them you have and by the way that's a serious and you got to win seven seats. Puts her I'd done this a great restaurants of Boston Globe we'll go to Manchester -- government just a dead in a how much -- one the other I think that's a huge swing he takes some golf you have to -- That's very kind of concerned and by the identity going to be a good little tonight later. I had gotten that got a great job Michael you're on the governor's new and -- Only god grant Michael.

Garage door and I. I'm an old eleven B twenty or worse Fabiani.

Nice -- governor Sununu to go ahead.

Our intrepid pyramid probably should've -- and all you do -- what -- that Gugliotta.

Yeah I do is. You know yeah. A lot you don't want to get into it -- to do middle of an airport and leave you may not like you'll.

I do and now governor actually I won't. I what's the best way to the -- is a small deployment -- I just. And I'd buy just one more now -- ran prolong what they are now -- I got it's there on the record your instant.

Our governor can you comment on your body your bringing the trial to New York together.

Particular. If I would love the whole the whole premise that there at this says this system. You know -- it took awhile to get the military tribunals in place there in place now. Okay we leave -- well before what do we have played this -- bomber. We did have commonplace now -- government placed. These are not people. Who who should have the constitutional protection of the US assistant assistant saying.

Yeah why treat this terrorist and like it a soldier like. Not he's not -- terrorists --

We have we have this major general who is part of the radical left Everett school at the -- I -- the world are again seeking patent.

There's no threshold is a weak -- on Desantis. Steve I. What what more do we gain in the military tribunal what what do you like -- I think I want the -- tried executed by the way.

I liked the fact that that's that's that's the issue -- first of all I like the fact that it is -- professional group. Who understands the terrorism issue to us that are better at judging him not they could not a group of citizens who have been taken. Doing their duty but they have been taken out of state jobs and everything become an and the --

Good luck to ulcer and trying to trusting terrorists in the past.

Well I understand that the legislation. Secondly the rules of evidence that different and apparently learn believe it becomes. It becomes less so they showcase trial -- publicity but these guys want. Yet that it would be it would look normal trial it will have every reporter in the world hanging around the doors.

Well it's go to Mans that assumed that the lawyers. Are are not able to use technicalities. In -- and a quarter of law that they're not allowed I want.

Certainly wanna try -- Canadians now why that might thank you service. Thanks for the.

You go and soft on us.

I want an egg a day like you and I go meet the plan is gonna Tillotson this person.

I'll I'll kill lumps I I won't but I don't wanna hang around for eight year it's we got.

And that's -- you don't -- like when he -- a little portable hard -- procedural protections for twenty.

Sarah -- your great man like disk eight years this this SOB has been stick around any here's.

But he'll be twenty more with a -- an -- regular court -- that's exactly what the problem.

Said the problem as we never should arrest the way we practice guy and we put him in jail in a place like Bob Brohm.

And figure this out this week it's too it's taken us too long.

I have this guy hang around -- I just the method for my far as I'm concerned -- end result is -- How -- on these guys -- definitely soft --

You don't want that you don't want them to have twenty years' worth of appeals in front of I think you're wrong.

don't want him I want it done.

And over and done --

But that's okay at about all I'm saying is dictated over and done within the military tribunal.

You don't want to -- closed its. I guess I tickets and I think it's been overdone -- we don't trying to get on here I don't.

Hello and let me put it this way I would love it -- close only I don't know how to do it. What I don't know do it I don't trying to get the publicity --

22220. Bridges go to a super max in Colorado what's the problem.

Well I think I think you're underestimating. The fact that that the people of the United States don't feel that way I really do think to people have a say in the.

Process Altamont -- you can't every time we arrest somebody even now.

But it's not arresting and not a resting -- drug -- on the corner. There's a good -- 220 people whose primary intention is the destruction of this --

Andrew humid day fund with governess who knew and -- and they want without regard glided through.

Thank governor Arnold are just got good aren't great -- had -- I want you so thanks for us. -- protest but I have a question I I'm so proud to be a part of that Scott Brown got directed. My concern is dead at the national level. The leading up to November. -- aren't they really didn't care because I haven't heard much about organizing at a national level of.

Let these people through. But the first thing you gotta have a ticket through in the 2010 elections which is not a national election. It's a little bit you know congressional speeds are still local elections the Senate -- is -- state by state. That's where the focus is and there's been tremendous deficit efforts to. Other state by state basis ticket good candidate. To get organize to get out and do the grunt work it's necessary to elect people. -- election voter lists together. Get they process in place for identifying who supports you. It's exactly what was implemented in the Scott Brown -- and that has been the nitty gritty that the investment has gone into for the past year around the country. They're gearing up for 2000 and -- 2000 and we then look at the fact that 2012. Will be all that plus a presidential.

to do it doesn't and -- going to be out about eighty bucks and a dinner is what's gonna happen 2010. -- today and our.

Seven any seats do you cloud you've got the dinner -- I did say we're gonna it would change. I said the governor is only gonna eat eat this as he said seven easy to gonna change that's -- not -- all right. Excuse me -- it which means all look at those -- must be a lawyer.

Not -- and what I anyway I didn't throw you levity streets around I saw that they control of the house seats. I think they got 175. Now so they got to win it too -- team has 25 and eight is 4344. Lives in Iran.

But I wouldn't be surprised if we tried that do you think that's please do that's not a cure but there's a good chance we -- announcement.

Okay here's an actual outcome of the November mid terms weren't. The Democrats get hammered. Therefore there it's it's -- here's the next presidential. Prediction. Similar goals in her daughter's -- a small hole on the run against Obama what do you think about that. I noted that last week put two weeks ago -- the government. It's not unprecedented that an historical precedent now now -- find out that I thought there was a good chance that you would primary --

You think right it's opiates you right you think it's possible have been buying in Hillary Clinton running and car. And who endorse -- A small field and -- and that it takes your calls to tributes to governor that's good. I think yet how well did you -- when I got to I got to the dinner and he was. -- don't want raw Diet Coke can or anything you'd like job drink and water and smiling. Job with governor's little girl -- probably goggle enriched.

Only describe it so bad baptists and then broke loose and Buddhist country. And quit brought its use our equipment -- it's clear. That that is -- I'm glad I -- so let the -- does have -- The rest of the Republican.

Did tell people that and believe it or not it's pretty close to the Republican philosophy smaller government lower taxes cut spending local control.

Then what happened since it was just against bush what happened in the last three elections governor. It's toward to a 62 -- two -- must do what -- what it has to be how many and how -- this regular -- my -- products.
