That it actually was for right so air or work as true and ownership of the deal forward and it is to get through reading it. But. You know they commit to greater purpose to it certainly in the nineteen barriers Furlan and another. 3.2 billion. Military will be going in on the deficit. I you have all the concerned -- we're getting the bailout mentality. And I and the ability for them to actually do bail -- so we're doing. That that was also part of Serb regime out. Bank who have under ten billion dollars and a not subjected to a lot of media and of the onerous. You know issues that are in that bill.

Now one of the most important job sectors forests in Massachusetts -- with the hospitals we of the university's. -- is the financial sector we have great companies here right. I think State Street employees 15161000. People in good paying jobs and our state we've got fidelity -- got the banks. I can someone once told me that. One out of every four dollars invested in the world makes its way through Boston in 11. Cents or another. What this this financial reform bill due to these critical industries doesn't hurt him does that help -- is it gonna be no effect to what's your take arm.

Well I don't want to change that I made to the vocal. A lot of a lot of those senators to continue to work like that work. Over the last hundred years and then now always effect Massachusetts impeach and peoples and hope they're doing backroom deals masters is Larry there. It's not bad and nutritional patriots and Oakland they're rather than answer everybody's.

Commentary on it I'm not the majority party -- not privy cheat sheet in the back from cutting the lead vehicle. As they're -- door shut a lot of times that is to protect entire financial industry to eleventh continue to do. What they've been doing and they didn't have anything to do with you know these days it refers to. It never indicated it would the problems that we read about so on. I think it I think it certainly makes so they can't they'll continue to act like casinos -- It -- draw a line in the sand and just flexibility and more transparency. It doesn't address any -- Well but we are continuing to work unless they show where men will look the problem forward the effort finishes this weekend.

We're talking this US senator Scott -- if you have a question for Scott give us a call 61726668686172666868. Scott would get some calls over the last couple days. Of people who lost their jobs. -- At least paying the mortgage he wouldn't loses house. Can he said now that it's gonna be cut off -- he is gonna lose his house what's goin' on what that you you're being portrayed as the bad guy who voted. Against that what was that all about him what do you do about it.

Sure well this is pretty simple -- This year we have a cherished we do we just -- stuff -- without -- it's an orderly they would it from the credit card and there's plenty of money floating around. We need that trust that you've been there analogy that stimulus money. There's a whole host of other songs that still have money in them. And all of saying here's the bank account or credit card. I wanna use the bank account is the money that there's an outfit that should be going out the door immediately because people are hurting. And a favorite summer jobs in favor all these things which brought in about that is one I don't wanna add to the deficit so there's people who are now -- and -- unemployment. Will not --

They're chips and a branch it's beep -- burying the -- so what we're doing in every one thing if we didn't have the money to act. Yeah -- there would be one thanks but no one knows that they are using it for political purposes good a lot of these guys are running so garlic country give a billion here billion air. And it's not appropriate in and I just think -- out the door right away.

Did not so do you think will happen before it now you guys are on break for a week right.

I have great -- week we have an interest the majority party got their their party in line they would've tested. No it it would have asked that certitude to portray me is always the bush demanded Israel be -- Disingenuous. Certainly because. There's a majority party Rico as well. Only 41 Republicans and we had a couple of Republicans you know vote with them and we operate at a substitute. Actually an extension of no problems no no wishes I follow them a bill that would create fully everything we would. Allocated money is not -- into the deficit. Couldn't get a hearing me yet so you know I've loaded. But what thirty over 30% of the time with a majority party had been working across party lines and the second I got there. To restrict the jolly -- you're up and it. You know you can't -- that we don't -- dirtier as well.

Oh of course. 6172666860. The president I know you've been at a funeral he probably didn't see it but. The president when outing gave a speech on illegal immigration today. He didn't make any formal proposals he didn't even try to say you know we should be doing this now. Seemed to need to be so likes sort of tried to throw bone to the folks who want. You know we illegal immigration reform and amnesty and all those things just to sort of hold them in place that the election year. It's gonna be immigration reform bill before the election or do you think that's just not gonna happen.

Shouldn't the should be spokesman job creation machine you focus on the way to do it under control. And a illegal immigration is not one of the priorities. Many many people on both sides right now. Especially in what we secure the borders that are still borders. Well we know do I -- in its statement that I think there's a hint that you need to have an executive order that would be will be. If you're like you nervous or. That's so. You know are talking about the national energy tax. My point -- is no appetite and that energy tech says there's no appetite for bank text before hurting businesses are hurting. So that there is an appetite for inhibition -- into aren't that patient in away so you will make you what else is earning investment. Step back from our dependence or oil what is the attacks associate it.

You know I've -- I've -- was talking to the listeners the other day -- you've been way and I you probably haven't seen it but they've been running the environmental groups have been running a negative bad against you saying that. -- Yeah bit bigger sold out too loud the big polluters in the pictures of the port pelicans dumped in oil effort -- as I as yet I was explaining to our listeners the other day go vote they're going after you Juan. Was get this folks -- issued we're listening the other day. The this board in Washington that if they don't buy low by congress passed the law. For cap and tax. That you PA will do it by fiat. Unilaterally. Just decoy or it no legislation passed no vote of the members of congress no input from the people's country just do it. Scott loaded I'd voted to keep the EPA from being able to do that and that's the vote -- attacking a month. And I say I was with some folks last night they would bring FBI makes -- tell me how you feel do you think the EPA should be able to do that. By fiat without any legislation -- that. Oh no and I said then you agree with Scott Brown and and they went -- I didn't know that I said the worst the worst negative campaign -- Are the environmental groups I've done a zillion campaigns is you know Scott. No groups why more. In their ads in in their mailings then everything in the environmental groups they are the worst in that that is a perfect example of it.

Corridors and it's unfortunate because. The very strong environmental record in the been working at two. Office and realistic solutions amended bill there's nothing that would have nothing to do with oil. And it clearly agree if you go if money from big oil first saw him remember they had where they are inaccurate. Right there is you know it can't -- like it the same calculation shortage 5000 we try to than what the the fact checked we get our hallmark and did so. -- your campaign that they're campaigning never stopped just in January and have that people should know that the election's over. And they want to help really truly helped him in America but millions are running against me better in the -- to really help all of us do with the with the job.

Well it's so funny too because the person -- took the most money from BP. That's good you wanna take couple calls to give time. All right great let's talk to -- to him in Drake it Tim in Drake hit your first today with senator Scott Brown.

I just -- Raleigh north. -- Listen I just wanna know what you do with the new regulations to EPA he has put in effect start in 2011. -- about a Vieira about our contractors. But contract is body shot -- runner at third reduction goal of.

And thank you very much bring up for of people and I interrupted best. And EPA has -- regulations that are in place that basically says anyone who deals would lead paint contractors body shops etc. need to get a certain kind of license answered certain type of training. You but the big problem as. Yeah the big problem is that they. They don't have enough inspectors insert fires to get these people sir I actually have both 141000. Builders and homeowners. Rim goes down in net national trying to fix that area they can't -- accused of 31000. Dollar a day fine so here they are. Implementing regulation literally and provide that. In the sur fires to get he. People certified. In order trained -- in that and still and you want to -- what are the EPA even with the -- only. It ever been able together own way in and providing -- the clearances and so. -- staged in mitigated protect they're they're they're coastline to break.

My debts -- boy that is crazy let's go to another call Rick in the car your next with senator Scott Brown how you doing red.

had a and I didn't answer his question rod actually set senator Collins that Rogers shirk our. And I and about 45 other a senators have -- written to EPA in the administration you -- financial hauled off and implementation until they. They provide the appropriate sur fires. To get people up up and running.

Good luck with that the EPA does what and that's why it would be so devastating for them to take -- just by fiat. You do cap and tax it would be ridiculous to have them.

The national and expect them over your recession. And all this money we're just -- government programs wouldn't go to really doing what. And look at look at Reggie right now which are supported a lot of money that the State's collective. There's now been taken by the year but Leo open the legislature and the administrations of those states if you strip saying not related European --

Right that was a state version of cap and -- sort of a New England regional version. Then we've seen how it's worked here in what you get to see how it works is no sense in June it nationally. -- in the car you're next with Scott Brown.

But the prospect deplored the jump. -- right now. It was awfully soft origin or where ever appeared here at the very best for the burglar -- Nobody could ever -- Eric Burke all the first worked in the country. I'm color no white no reason ripping -- twenty. You and they're illegal -- very good job market where people -- employers. Aren't we help -- our own people as -- They're all they're workers. We're gonna look alt programs there's no reason they have a poker like belt what -- what.

By noted that part of you know getting a handle on immigration issues reviewing a lot of it the available visas and a lot of the the legal mechanisms that we offer immigration was simple and now there's such a backlog. It's frustrating people don't wanna try legally those PLO do it illegally delegate amnesty so. They're Fredricka well Charlie what art Carl parker spoke to all liquor records which look very. All of -- record or be big or great well we're not ever. -- I haven't I haven't heard that that's certainly not appropriate.

That's for sure. Let's go to Russ in the car you're wrong with Scott Brown's US senator Scott Brown.

Purple -- I don't know thank you for bringing common sense to watching that I really appreciate. What you do down there.

Well I have to say though -- this a certain Australian. Columnist at the globe that doesn't think he's bringing common sense to Washington though we will bring that up will we --

Oh you know you're gonna Bennett Eric Eric yeah. But it just spent some time is pretty pretty brave -- state. The question I want ask is that the what I don't understand. McCain has someone that is released of course yeah I'll many times over the years you don't like -- but why don't believe Porsche built forward. But the government the -- that -- and Arizona are. But there's no -- election is that that he's not gonna get the majority of the summit the back give up -- not.

Oh we actually edit through them but I'm not ready to start and create. The -- and right -- in our all the Macphail. So they've been closed -- they've they've law so that they think to be a real effort real effort by the yet administration -- Get a handle on that coalition an eight -- arizonans are are are. That you administrations are hurting that's why they're taking -- drastic measures to get you know and there's citizens.

maybe you didn't see it up but senator Kyle met who's the senator from Arizona met with the present -- then senator -- big -- secure the border Mr. President and then we can do the other legal immigrants stuff after that. In the president said to -- if we'd secure the border. Then we'll never get our comprehensive. Immigration package done. So that we are knocked in -- secure the border until you all come crawling to loss. And then we'll do what we wanna do one illegal immigration in to meet that is disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful --
