How old is the guys about a 115. -- CNN's Larry King is splitting from his seventh wife they will -- belong to reportedly believes the 76 year old -- 76 he's got to be more than half. Cheated on her with their kid sister. The marriage crumbled after. Sure on south quick accused king of having an affair with her younger sister Sheehan and and in government I got to know how old Shannon diminished through. The National Enquirer first reported the creepy and her family cheating allegation in December quoting an unnamed friend of south wakes. The tabloid also said south where Kevin affair with her son's baseball coach in 2008 -- she denied. This is so ludicrous the younger sister said. She admitted the king gave her gaps. But wasn't specific she said south -- threatened or over the phone saying if you deer assume the inquirer I won't pull out every last receipt that proves you have an affair with Larry. So I'm guessing that she was the source she was the foreign -- was the source for the in inquirer. The wife the seventh wife. She said. The the the younger woman said king was like a father to our -- boy like a father tour. I'm tired of taking the rap for things I did not have an affair with Larry. He's been married eight times by the way to seven different women he married his third wife twice. Well maybe the third time will be the charm Warner can go back emerged the third wife for the third time. 1877469432. To joining us now on the line is a Republican candidate for governor. Charlie bakery of their Charlie.

Dario good good good getting ready for the convention on on Saturday and was there. -- Or it saw askew again now you kind of dodged the question the last time but the I think only attended -- I'm sure -- but I have to -- This is one of those little things we gotta go through here and in the world that the media yet what are is Christie may hell's gonna get 15% are you gonna hold them and does not have a primary opponent.

I don't know that I said that the last time I really don't know me 50% of not a high bark. We've met where a -- of the delegates because they got elected in December. -- they'll make whatever decision they make.

So would you prefer to have them on the ballot there would you prefer not to have them on the.

I have no idea -- it as -- you before we talked about this. You know the best we can't say where you know you can use anybody can give -- on the one hand on the other -- himself pluggable above where. But I you know our goal is. If we get that many delegates as we can get based and the work we've done and to come out of their strong for the restoration you'll see where the chips well.

So I have to ask you why didn't -- well I know you said you didn't have a it you have it's a scheduling conflict and so and rich to say you're you're running -- the states senator for. But why why he won't why did you not show up at the Tea Party yesterday.

I do have a conflict I mean I agreed to months ago to go speak to 11100 people who worked in the senior care industry in Massachusetts and was there. Which is the commitment made two months ago and their their forum was ten to twelve which was. Pretty much exactly the same time the Tea Party event. You know and I've never done I don't think any request for many keep toward the organization here in Massachusetts to come speak to him and I've done three or four of memento. Keep still and -- And I said. Every time I've been asked I think most that you party people I've met are adjusted in the same thing I am which is in -- jobs taxes deficits and and and an economic can big time economic anxiety about where this statement countries don't.

How committed to send the low flying aircraft over the common like a Kristy did.

You know. It's -- should tell -- that never occurred to me.

That it was it was kind of unique I thank -- very.

by the way picked up but I picked up an endorsement today from an old friend of ours.

Who's that every nation all Barbara Anderson endorsed a that's a good endorsement.

I agree I think it's a great endorsement. -- Barbara is sort of the original key part here at bank.

Yes she SC yes Shia they haven't been doing much with the referendum questions lately for obvious reasons could what's the point in very well there are there -- they're trying to war help out peace. These Republican candidates for the legislature and certainly need more of them very I have to ask you about the the vote yesterday in the house you know less than three years ago it's amazing three years ago 144. Of these people. Were opposed. To having slot machines at racetracks now 120 of them are in favor of it.

there must have been a lot of -- turned over him to play. At least since the I I think the body thing that troubles me the most about this its origin back this -- you were talking about yeah this is is the process question and maybe openness you know no hearing. Very limited debate and I think that's too bad because this is a really big issue with -- consequences from Massachusetts.

I waited through all of those copy from the Statehouse news service today who you know expecting to find all these people explaining why a that studied the issue a lot of -- decision to change their votes. And always found was one guy before the house she got any Murphy from Weymouth and then Ellen story from -- gave an interview to the state -- news service but I was -- Nobody even like bothered to stand up and say you know I here's. I OK I got knuckled. Okay I was afraid of losing my 7500 dollar bonus. -- at least I would expect them to come up with some kind of credible excuse for going up but none none none whatsoever this is what this is lead the the the wages of one party state Charlie.

Now that's why I'm excited about November because there's. Forty open seats already out of the 200 there's a 120 Republicans who run and serve various state rep and senate races and a lot of them are good candidates and I think they're gonna win.

18774694322. If you wanna talk to Charlie Baker ask him any questions he is the Republican front runner. For governor and -- he has been endorsed today by Barbara Anderson of us citizens for limited taxation. Sounds to me Charlie if you're right trumpeting an endorsement from Barbara Anderson enough 48 hours before the convention that you might be interest and in knocking -- off the ballot.

Actually alien and I know you're not gonna believe you know mess but to resume we got the endorsement today is committed to April 15. Which is of course --

One of them yeah administration's ambitious.

Yeah that's right and we actually had the event but the post office in Wakefield which is you know it's our way of sort of reminding everybody that. This is the day in which everybody's got to you know pay the piper.

1877469432218774694322. Robert your next what Howie Carr and Charlie Baker the Republican candidate for governor go -- Robert.

I -- we are talking last week. Com and look at aren't I gonna database of one's right for our federal -- if you Warsaw sports business report. But I wanted Perry awards it was -- last week with -- Asia showed. Some of our public official. Could listed. Public official. Felons. -- president. And collecting pensions. -- Are born out by definition if you are convicted of ability -- attention. About --

Does anyone of those rare occasions were Massachusetts's. In enforcing a stricter standard than everybody else --

We just think. What what bothers me is that my wife and I are black. Were liberal anti -- Okay what would you wait and part of -- years and you're gonna -- a -- please don't want instead of -- look -- mayor. And there -- just the third apprentice system. Let's get a pension.

Well Robert dead is because if you have every right to be peeved about that. And I and I do know their Massachusetts if you're convicted of the fellas you automatically lose attention. But I I think the bigger issue Robert to -- raise and has affected. You know we really need to do something about the state pension system period and there -- some you know minor but important reforms took place last year but we have a million miles to go and make -- system. Work both for the taxpayers and for the and for the people who work to the public sector. I think the pension system is is gonna blow up on everybody if we don't do something about it and it's it's one of the first things out of the gate. Aggressive if we win in November X.

Yeah I went when I won't when I read the story about Allen's story -- explaining how he you know she was in leadership now so she had to do what the -- told to do. I I immediately went to they EI herald website Charlie and the looked looked up her husband's pension you know is a retired prefer the third UMass. 104000. Bucks a year.

Well one of our reforms -- to -- ninety's.

That would be great I mean obviously it's too late to do anything about the guys that are already know by now. You know would be nice to watch cap and how does out -- have you got rich to say to sign on that I went. It yeah he's just he's just on the he's down on care and believe us like write her her proposal to do away with pensions for all elected a wells in the future.

In the future and independent and by the way I'm. You know I actually think that's pretty good idea and and endorsed the that I that I would include that is part of our pension reform plan because I do think it creates. The conflict of interest to -- kind of undeniable right there. It's somebody's participating in the system by definition a hard time voting to change at Drexler.

call Robert RD year next with Howie Carr and Charlie Baker go ahead RD.

I Ali right Torricelli to tell it like yeah we -- in respect. I'm a big -- the second men and I think it's incredibly important number also picture of the castle doctrine which. This important legislation in Massachusetts and then in the end I think it very is that I think we spend a lot more time. Worried abouts. What I would cause sort of the law abiding. Gun owner hunters sportsmen. Collector and nowhere near enough time worried about the folks who were using an unregistered and illegal -- in the commission of crimes and that's really where the focus of our effort --

Thanks RD 1877469432. To a miss -- that's the of the globe trick question on Scott who was Scott Brown yesterday. For the Bruins playing tonight.

The sabres. Where the sabres. Buffalo okay you passed you know a couple of the what's the one thing you know he's you know. In the midst of all the politicking and all the rest by. My knowledge of local sport is absolutely suffered and that's a terrible thing to get -- one of these kids who grew up around here love this stuff and I'm so sad about what I don't know anymore about what's going on of the buses.

I could've gotten that one either you know I I don't I don't find ever been a Bruins fan but I don't -- mistake was not that not admitting like video like like Barack last week with Kamensky park -- admit something -- admit if you don't know.

I'll tell you when you got the -- and coaches from every direction all day long if you eat it too easy to forget about the stuff that really matters like the kitchen for the Red Sox. And whether or not there at this Celtics are gonna go on the road to -- the play out.

The Celtics are pseudo contenders this they're candidates are on espn.com.

that's not a bad way to put it. That I really hope that I really hope they can turn it up a notch in the playoffs.

Michael your next with Howie Carr and Charlie Baker the Republican candidate for governor Michael glad.

There are you guys do -- that good what I had a question are well. Both are what you think why did you I had asked how have been doing -- job over six years what do you plan on doing. To really facilitate that actually doing something in earning a living. --

You know look I have a big believer that. This state -- states can't play a role here but at the end of the day state was stage really need to do a -- federal government. To get up the -- off the couch and do something about immigration but in the meantime.

Like Arizona just dead. Do they just passed they the legislature in the Republican governor signed the bill just to make it they did the the goal of the legislation. Is just to make it difficult for illegal aliens to live in Arizona they're just gonna councilwoman everything at every level.

Very -- make sure we take a look at that but the two things that I -- concerned about number one is. Especially in construction the issue ability illegal immigration creates for. In -- contractors in trades people who are considered to work his cup and you buy insurance. Collecting you know involved in health benefits and all that kind of stuff from the and the problem that -- for them. To compete against. Contractors and and construction firm that -- a lot of under the table. Illegal illegal labor it's -- price when if you don't impossible and I really think there ought to be allowed more. Sort of aggressive effort with regard to enforcement around that because the guys we're trying to play by the rules. Marsh starting from an incredibly difficult position with regard to all that.

was last time you ran into an American --

Well. Yeah and they I think that's you know that's problem. Because it creates. In just a serious. Disadvantage for people who are actually trying to do the right thing and and earn a living and and the pay their bills and the other thing -- say about illegal immigration news. In addition to the conversation you what I have before about in state tuition and then driver's licenses and all the rest. I really do think we should be allowed more aggressive about using immigration status of law enforcement. Because there -- a lot of bad actors in. In a bunch of our communities around Massachusetts -- scored just turn our whole neighborhoods and we should be using their immigration status is -- general so Ajinomoto.

Thanks for the call Michael marine your -- with Howie Carr and Charlie Baker go ahead moraine.

I Harry charity dinner in there you my question is charity is if you -- What would you do ad widget patent. Jaret act around our party or even -- he's.

Oh that's a good question especially since you've just got an endorsement for mud barber and -- this afternoon.

You know. --

He's out but he -- wearing a -- he's just wear the ankle bracelet and it cost him a couple of thousand a month -- the you know we can't go anywhere stranger -- the bracelet goes off and he he had to get violated no -- back of it to the can't.

Very loyal they do that is an external minutia of how we can talk about this -- but I need to do some homework on it. They're familiar with the case however.

I'm surprised Barbara didn't catch up on it before she endorsed --

Well we talked a lot about taxes and -- that so we talked about.

Okay nor rained. The raid is there an ear Doreen was I know a marine because she has because of for broke her she was are you. She was at the Tea Party yesterday do you accept is our reasons for not be in thereof Lorraine.

Alleviate all Seattle still likely to sit there. The Marines let me ask you questions if somebody. As if you're if you are one of those 11100 people out was there. Who we're expecting Charlie -- to show up at 10 o'clock and be part of the gubernatorial form that they held talked about senior care and Charlie Baker at the last minute. Because this rally got established sort of blew all those people off and went and went to the rally instead. We met -- a little bit. I think -- the -- to reschedule or something you should be ever all are by. -- head border but he parted need to go and I and I get that I've gone to a budget local Tea Party meetings and -- continue to do that -- I'm I sort of I made a commitment to look at a popular politician honor it and a -- like there was fifty people were ten people or some small group.

You can actually get to getting back to the airplane Charlie -- a rented the airplane in the parachuted in.

Yeah have to explain melanoma writes it's.

Thanks for the call marine Evelyn you're next with how we card Charlie Baker go ahead Evelyn.

have a question about. Caring about other kids them being indoctrinated in our school system and you're looking people about like Thomas Jefferson -- Paul Revere. And I'm wondering is that you can do to make sure that our kids learn about our founding fathers and the start of this country and and and make it requirement to learn about what the constitution actually really mean.

I do think did over the course of the past that ten years or so fifteen years -- so under -- education reform. Which went by the way sort of bipartisan Republican Democrat initiative. We have created standards around a number of areas with regard to education in math science history. English. And I I think that processes -- good one and I think we should continue to.

Build on it to -- it. And though the one thing I would say is. Is it I think I think the history pieces then western history of particular ought to be and I believe there's a pretty significant part of the but the core the core framework for that.

When I graduated high school in the state you had to pass a course in American history to get out.

Doing very great class they had better remember. But I elected the other thing I think we ought to be thinking about I haven't thought this would completely trio took provisions -- off. But I but I do think there ought to be something going on fiscal with regard to economics and and business I do think one of the big issues like to have come out of high school. They really don't understand. That much about how the economy works. Businesses work you know just all of that stuff and and somewhere along the line here we ought to be figuring out some way to incorporate. That into sort of.

Maybe tomorrow that -- Charlie maybe could come up with an executive order saying that the public schools could only show an inconvenient truth twice. I sort of got my kids watch it every three or four weeks they -- moment I keep telling me it's BS might get -- about the stories like you know that the volcano is gonna cause global cool cooling. You know and the but they they just they really argued at when it comes to global warming they are getting indoctrinated at the schools.

Well -- That's a good thing message to point out.

The church your kids have never mentioned that TO how often they have to watch an inconvenient truth.

I'm -- we -- severity of.

gets a lot different from Wellesley I'll tell you that you. Put in place protocol level and victor you're next with Howie Carr and Charlie Baker go ahead victor.

Charlie radios that are good they listened. You know. As terroristic government is broken. -- eight you know be. The -- union contracts okay that the benefits. In the libraries. You know this state -- 65% there'll projects don't -- the high schools victims get that -- art school as well okay but you'll you'll. The state pays. A good chunk of the original construction. In -- goes into the startup space -- a higher early speeches they -- you visit -- and librarian. They figured out why just start out debt portion all of funding. Okay for these are high schools that the libraries. OK so -- cities and towns almost bet that they have to come to the place. With a 40 okay and a top -- You're gonna cut the budget by 20/20 5% where across the board. 200 naturally I've made.

I've made pretty clear that. I get elected we're gonna have. We're gonna do a lot of budget cutting. I'm big believer that the way out of our current problem of the tax expense I think we have to cut the budget -- said that. Separate myself from the day got into the race trip to reform the pension system consolidate. State operated -- reduces state payroll. They -- a lot of our programming works I mean we have huge huge issues in Massachusetts and we -- take a -- Head -- from sort of day one. And as far as local public concern I guess the two things I would say is is we are the only campaign. Became -- cities and -- should be able to change their. Healthcare plan designed. Without having to go out and from when union to the other to get. An agreement to do that we are also the only ones. Who come out so that we think BM. Communities going to be able to join the State's health insurance plan without having to again get a vote out of all of the unions to do that. Then maybe we took deposition was were really worried about municipal government's ability sort of work its way through its current situation. Circumstances unless they get some flexibility to change some of these underlying cost issues that -- deal unless that's the main -- filed a pension -- parliament pension reform proposal as well. Is that when we have to deal with both for the here and -- For the future as well.

What are the tell you -- the I I just was thinking about the -- look at in my quarterly property property tax bill I just can't believe how Hyannis. In ditches and again I mean I can't believe how -- would be if we didn't have Barbara Anderson it's prop two and half so.

I don't have people. That's like just kind of you know based into the foundation at this point but. -- over the 1980s and even in the 1990s you know that was a perennial battle to keep track to what happened place and to retain the voters right. To vote on what to do what they're on.

I can't believe how often in the suburbs of people vote to override I just don't understand that but that is true yeah. Yeah yeah and in the more affluent areas -- even at some kind do you know -- or more lower middle class areas sometimes they really they really frighten people you know how what is for the children. Gonna all right we're we're almost a thousand bucks have to shut down the police station and the football to. You know let's first they they they -- they've got to playbook for scare in the bleep out of people will listen good luck at the convention on -- Saturday.

The governor spoke to this group -- and part of the reason I went there was you don't want to have a chance to speak about what's gone out of Massachusetts to the same audience that the governor was speaking to.

what I don't speak into the tea party's right and I thought okay -- thank you Charlie would appreciate it 18774694322. Rob how we car. Walking down the grass you know -- spring this year.
