Jeff Perry on Translinguistics and the Ballots

2218774694322. There is a there's there's been a an attempt in the in recent years to war it did to have ballots. In foreign languages and much -- half the ballots in foreign languages but to about but to have. Have stranger. Debates. Over how war. How English girl or the English sure our American its style -- Should be. Put into the Chinese language Andy you know I think he sounds like and it's a liberation I don't quite understand that but -- it's a long battle that's been going on it started with the bush Justice Department actually. And now the some of the the liberals in the legislature are trying to make this idea. Eight. A a yearly practice here and I wanted to check in with Jeff -- this is supposed to be coming down in the last days of the of the session here joining us now on the line is representative Jeff -- he's a endemic they're Republican from sandwiched. It he's running for congress for build bella -- seat. Jeff what's going on with this this legislation with these at least I guess they -- they call it trims liberation or a literary sugar.

but they call it that's what they call lineup after days. I think it's both built for 880. At -- house today. Where is. Overwhelming majority other Republican voter again and I'll send Joe will send you over the -- all but. -- number of Democrats voted against the -- wasn't hearing well then I don't get -- our you know I thought that you had to be and I actually had -- if depth look at this today and and not think that step but I have I'm a bit if you make sure that when you applied to be an American citizen and you actually happen knowing what it's been like. Questioned at the we check belt you know be the process the plot applied to be an American better than him yet. If you wanna be an American citizen you have to be able to speak and read fluently in England. -- go through the interview and English and so I don't get why someone needs a ballot. In any language -- global.

My understanding -- wide -- a couple of years ago was that some of the some of the Asians. The Asian Americans who moron like the elections -- places like wal. They think this is ridiculous as well.

Absolutely knowledge it's not in any of the people call me about this stuff on May hear about it on your show are. But -- all of and that they are legal. US citizens who came to the process legally they wanna be here they wanna live the American dream made that they'd like to speak English state they -- participating in the American society and they're really offended. Bet we would make rules for people don't wanna come so America. And live the way that are more people think we should English language ended if you wanna but -- the -- in the culture. You wanna look at American -- the American dream up but the story this station or make built on immigrant.

What the other the other thing I don't understand about this and it -- the way to the way it was explained to me earlier this week is that. Net now you you know soul like let's say -- your your name is in Chinese is Perry okay. So so I say knees so why I do be I'm the elections chief in Boston nice and I got my true -- translator rated or whatever it is. As -- And you say no no no it has to be Barry. So there we -- we have a big argument and it ends up in court. And meanwhile hope you know the ballots are getting -- that you have to print these ballots -- and and you don't wake could edit all of these things could end up and in a big court fight it's it's just absurd it's it's just another layer Rabat. I'll -- red tape that the that the state led the stayed in the cities don't need.

They don't need and it's ridiculous but grieving having -- conversation. You have to be -- to speak English ship and knowing what stick stick your citizenship well I don't know what they're pandering to I don't know they think they're helping. -- if you can't go into an upstart that sounds mean spirited but if you get going doorbell box and you it read a balloting. I I don't know I just don't get it in -- the people pushing net. Are more than just a lefty that bill passed overwhelmingly and don't want it think all of like that and so. I'll check it accurately candidate and how they voted on it and if it. More likely that they thought I -- third bubble in our conservative Democrat in the many of them -- around. At some who they're badly to what the purpose where the fault -- what saw Obama -- here -- about any -- denial voting rights very denial of civil rights because someone can't go in and read the ballot had --

the Russian spies they weren't they were illegal aliens and they want registered to vote in Cambridge right. A -- let them register to vote I mean I'll obviously they should be able to read if they can -- get and I read didn't register when they'd they don't even belong in the country in their spice.

Well it does get that you know broader question if you will it's what -- do we have on people registering to vote. And I go back to the whole you know the issue that a lot of people including myself and very development but then pushing. You know do we need some type -- I'd be about not a new idea but should we be -- be at least when you register to vote that beat some. Verification other than mailing -- There's no verification that no there's no prospect in you you get into that the end of the voting -- by mail your Mac -- And -- Jack in the Box but you're US that it then. Nobody nobody not of the about all the people are buying and then you show up -- the ball like nobody tracking I'd be. And so it is not depriving them both Russian spy that became. Voters ought to fight voters. In and the sound all that does make you wonder and very direct actions of this very at all what's gone on in those early voting.

We we had a special senate election of about a couple months ago Ferraro Richard Ross and right so I drag my wife to the polls in the morning and she said -- as she said wait let me get my driver's license that I so what do you kittens. Well fish he'll have your messages that you don't need no stinking driver's license.

Well below are -- he. It's the election official app. But you know I've been voting for the all the one G-8 year.

whatever I've never never but after -- may never been an app. That no Israeli interest it is quiet nobody -- voted for the that name before we show up. It's pretty much good to go laden. Not bordering voting integrity is something we really pay more attention to. And generally we don't know about that there really well like any get a recap our people are aspect questioned -- when you're what you -- Change ballot and have them even be available on all these different language it and have debate about what the definition of someone name their. It's it's it's a big way the money first of all it's not the not promoting the culture that we want what -- the culture of people speak English. And it's really sir not legitimate purpose both of them do great job that very well Warren court verdict.

Then you know the other thing is that this is no one that you can blame totally on the Democrats because this whole. This whole rigmarole got started when George Bush was president and the the Fed the federal Justice Department his Justice Department -- men and yeah you know gay and -- forty Democrats looking to -- in this at this point. There were at that point I should say that -- Democrats looking for a looking for this kind of problem but. Not now forced the now we're stock with a delay assumed the Senate won't blow will rubber stamp and the ball will push it through and and now -- you know now now we another hassle to vote you know all what can we get the ballots printed. All the UBS JC has ruled that isn't that Perry's name is -- as opposed to Kerry so now we're gonna have to go to print you know on the Halloween night the ballots.

I that I got to look -- all of my name means in different language -- I -- the last. Because who know what they might my bank by name it.

1877469432218774694322. Slowly got to on the line here -- would you like to say anything about the story in The Herald yesterday about your opponent Jo Malone and his his business travails over the years.

Now I eat eat you know me we can only go -- long -- in my personal one -- her blood but how do. Indeed it democratic incumbent -- get a -- am -- happy to talk about issued a map data talk about what I would do it in -- I was. Honored to be an act congress spent but. It's not my style though it's been a very speak for himself and people got a good candidate then got bill really good about where we are not. Where we are on the primary all right but the lawyer had me get straight campaign off the open and operating big state a week. Four nights a week. Big big totally well -- all of the other Republican combined. And bump got really good about where we are and I'm gonna leave the mud flying people think that the property -- get -- primary and the general and -- in.

But what about that I Keating's. Little. Sleight of hand here he can't he can't use money raised for statewide campaigns in in a federal election. So he's refunding the money to his contributors and asking them to send it back to his congressional campaign.

Why are well. That's something that's what I first started running think it all right for congress beginning of the year airhead on great article so the depth and I. The Motorola might they can't and because that was going to be another -- reelection and I was. And decided in my heart that I have been around for the congress so I actually at a bar a little belt bank directly refute the big money. In January oh my big count because I knew or -- iPod that you couldn't use that money. Both federal -- and I knew that BF eight people shortly there after after an -- To donate to my federal campaign so. You know it's it's all right I. It's certainly not what I think intent of the law are you built to look out that the late and in -- once -- voted gonna have to determine whether or not they think that's important but. -- didn't have the F burden of having it -- about it -- back.

All right I know a sudden you're in Europe about 200000 as I.

All he's almost there right I had won it for about.

All I mean no now you're 200 now you have to wonder thought it.

Actually today we just -- the we described the 400000 are 888 world -- and that should put it to the next level. In the National Republican Congressional Committee young -- program should but it that the and then and and a level back. In our feet deep coming down the client a washing in from Washington it may. Do articulate better operation but getting we're getting their attention the been in my moderating in -- that we have. Our ground game and NW writing campaign don't build really good about where we are. But where we are we're gonna keep running up all the campaign is -- an appalling that we ourselves the people. Rejecting they get mud slinging and all that and I think actually -- are good people fleeing the mud rather than. People in the mud on them and people are I haven't -- I don't when not brown. -- attack in brown unfairly and tired of it generally -- if not why am -- the first and it's not out there on the campaign there.

There's one really got John for a couple more minutes say they is very thing they did the nominee. It illegal alien surprises coming here in the final days are there.

Who knows who knows what they've got lined up behind closed doors. You know what happened the final -- the legislative special. Ask you yeah who -- Melvin Udall is spelled out there. We very gratified that the and in state the way and we don't look -- Patrick has been pushing a year -- are still. Technically alive. -- that right now the pulpit in B a whether or not didn't get back -- all and the governor's been pushing real hard and Apollo legislatively you get. The governor's gun bill I or I should -- anti -- bill. Out of the Ways and Means Committee and that there are the bad bill that -- the bulk of our Second Amendment constitutional right. And contrary to the federal you have to bring -- so that's why I think he actually going to be. Certainly LT eight budget. Override which still finding out and so it just going to be K I'll be heard about the -- very well the bad blood coming out because in the final week. And I -- might have been below late night. They they leave the opportunity if we -- the the which watching out the it ram something through and -- one of them all product altered all the docket this world about it are always watching. Where we're loyal band of being and Leo try to beat the system -- As we can't perceive -- make sure that they've done a -- make and push the button.

How -- how does the casino where they will talk about this after you leave what is the situation with the casinos and racetracks right now it's it looks like it's really up in the air and is and --

It's cure is that it still on the conference committee I'm not on the topic today I am not -- any inside information. Bill being negotiated and the other time the -- take any of that because we don't get it for the governor -- and I -- do. He has the ability to amend the bill and then get back to what we can detector amendment. And then he had this and gave her vetoed and so we don't get -- so he's going to be in the rabbit -- about what the final bill look like. And you know my my perception that the legislature isn't interest -- doing that but the a lot of interest beer. Lot of different entry or whether it -- not defeat both bought the being note -- racetrack daughters and we have. Ballot the issue double walk and not. And the other Indian tribes have there ain't --

Great the craziest thing I've read over the last couple days is this thing about will give the will give the racetracks the slots until the casinos open -- come mod whose kid no you know gonna going to be if they have they have put those slot machines in the racetracks and never coming out.

Always -- and if that's the decision that the blood at Fletcher may do -- to have. Racetrack allow them do. Have bought into have a date date date -- not viable option -- but you know what they should be done in the bidding passion and can -- the -- The previous bill on some of the permit but are on the state of the upbeat no -- deal thought -- Not to let people get the bill now that the -- Opel a year ago -- way to raise revenue for the Beijing great job. Let it out the beat down an open fashion gambling by its very nature. He telling you you look at another. Is somewhat. A little dainty sometimes in some bulk to get it to the industry from out of date around the country really have one bolt might not great money. Well it's going to be done -- got to be done it for bidding process. And that's not the case I think they can have -- people -- support gamble generally but you know I don't like the way it's being done.

Let gonna call here people sources talk to you odious about the the written their racing. At the inquiry into gambling know about the know. All the Electoral College someone's interest in the Electoral College. Okay -- John John you're next with Howie Carr and Jeff Perry go ahead John.

Hey captain it's very much -- I need to be this quiet little thing going on across the country to lead to abolish the Electoral College. Which effectively eliminates the middle of the country from having any state in the in the election of president. And -- I wonder and I Gary -- success said yeah so looks like we're gonna join that effort would -- that.

Well early this is just one of those many bank holding the the end of the fashion and that all -- that -- that -- itself but how I voted against that I believe it. Infringing on the intent of the out patient and we want to change the way we elected president we need to amend the federal crop this year. But this this interstate compact for vision in the south and that I believe have been and ground. And ride around the real forbidden by the Electoral College okay what's been bit about the visual interpretation. But yeah it's -- how and if they can get it get a look at that -- burden still had for the governor I think -- nationwide but not state. Passed state legislation right that. The opponent the -- now I'd get the very -- but the -- and say that they and they and people wait a boy doing it are the least amount of and saw Armstrong -- can't deduct bombing bothered at this delicate balance our between the Ball State -- state. And that's all it worked pretty well and in art history and we'll have a national debate about a all during the out. Electra followed in the competition but Babbitt but now what followed. Use the procedures and to -- to get around it they're real meaning that electoral well it's very very but it did.

OK John thanks for the call Jeff -- to go and I do we come back we'll talk about the the casinos again and this so legislation but your but would be nothing this year.

If I hit I had to bet I bet we don't they have.

That wouldn't be that that would be the biggest tragedy in the world.

Now on now if we're gonna do wrong. Better not to do literal.

Yeah okay we'll talk more about the casinos when we come back 18 set face Jeff I appreciated 18774694.
