I mean it isn't that like ordering a lot and ethnic bus system where of course there's been stolen in the Barnes has burned down. -- Alcan has been -- now you want to about steady at. Ready Vietnam right heavy. Yeah it's nothing but election year's best at posturing right and it's just completely absurd I I would show lot of luck really need to -- we need to it there we'll think this is.

You remember I mean I'm sure you protect cut from two years ago or right before the the economic collapse he said that Fannie and Freddie worked fine shape going forward.

Right right and this quote after quote after quote video. Testimony from committee hearings it's very clear. Where he was on the issue and now he's trying to run them.

And then he on the when guys like Bill O'Reilly play at form on the air he -- basically comes up with a Richard Pryor defense were what do you believe me your your Lyon nice. You know meaning he thought he denies it. The good long. You ever done before Murdoch have to tell you about 18774694322. Here's this is for much Charles Gasparino in the New York Post today Barneys new excuse representative Barney Frank and company you're getting set for enough yet another hearing this week on the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac the government control. Mortgage lenders once again they're not after the -- are looking to conceal -- dishonest or gets -- So what's what's going on to get that is gonna try to keep it alive like a frank like Frankenstein's monster.

I mean he said before either except they should nationalize. The whole -- pull all mortgage lending into the government. I think that's that what he's really we're looking course pay federal. Government solution as a post a partially privatized entity. Others of us -- that the government does really -- rolling in homeownership and and it ought to be a fully. Private entity although not necessarily Fannie Freddie but other. Financial institutions and the -- take their place.

It was so terribly good. Discriminatory though wasn't that asked people if they had drops. Truly -- and asked -- if they have the money to her down payment if they had a good credit rating that's on there. It was it was discriminatory as what was. Spencer Bachus the top Republican on Frank's financial services committee tells me that both agencies have started new programs so once again make loans and guarantees to sub prime borrowers. For people with the lowest credit ratings the same sorts of lending practices. That led to their claps back in 2008. More of the same and.

That leopard can't change its spots 18774694322. Mr. -- you're next with Howie Carr and -- be a lot going -- mr. --

But hey Sean does collect -- and nobody. You get everything your article right -- just sort of our peers regardless being -- be Brodeur at Logan Airport are brutal man and he needs to go away and got don't offer. This early how it right.

Charmer and hurry up here -- amount before that we have a heavy heavy duty liberal improved station up here that isn't going away anytime soon. But what I gotta tell you though you'd -- let's think big threat just keep. Why does sound byte -- about three or four months before everything -- look part. Freddie --

yeah by the way. Yeah would you if I -- and I commercial on a website that has a bunch and a -- and other we will get will get that Kazaa and I think we missed -- we got that we got that demoted down to this studio this phone Booth we we lost all of our sound cuts. Pat how's it going up there is is is. Is our friend Brian got away and.

Well I'll play edited it's gonna be really tight right now we another big guys to run and again -- if it'll ever you just spend crazy liberal. And he's trying to paint himself a fiscal conservative then you know he had enough people and -- illegals here. It is it's it's gonna be -- our way out values to be nice to be had a my.

I don't know why we get them we're gonna get him want burnish its city let's triplets -- Winger Brent do we are pretty soon okay just so we can give us some time. Then we also got a call from the us senate candidate up there against Leahy who warp we're gonna what talked them on the year two was well. 18774694322187. We support the Sununu. You know when he was running in 2008 I mean he was doomed by the idea that tied going out the other way. It used to talk about out you know he had a bunch and a few other Republicans and maybe one or two Democrats even worked we're trying to get a handle on these. Beasts monstrous bureaucracies Fannie and Freddie.

And and the Democrats should stop them dead in their tracks you know that same -- and Freddie Mac are not -- crises. If there's any dissent is even better I just when it goes even further of those live it down so many of them. There are a lot of quotes of him out they're making the search roll the dice in favor of homeownership and then.

It was more like played Russian grew. -- with five bullets.

Teammates and Freddie Mac. Are not in the crises the more people. In my judgment exaggerate the threat of safety and soundness the more people conjure up the possibility of serious financial losses to the tribute which I do not see. I think we see -- did a fundamentally sound financially. And withstand some of the disaster scenarios and even if there -- problem the program doesn't --

How. Come how many misstatements are there in that one sound cut by the unbelievable thing is that he'll go out publicly and say I'd add into that. Yeah and -- first I've heard of mark Riley saying hey it's it. It baffles me I don't know I do that and I can -- that with a straight face have you confronted him with a three debates if you had to get these debates -- we're supposed to have won a fox going to try S three didn't show up. There's a number of other organizations -- oceans of grandeur -- I thought he could be pretty okay I'm sure he's not a series he just says that a very full schedule and hasn't been able scheduling. Hopefully it'll happen --

Kabul more bad polls and he'll be offered to debate chew on every street corner in the district and a threat. 18774694322. Well I'll be glad to host that there as it as a resident I'll be glad to host a debate either right here in the radio station. Or in the in my you up front yard and imagines a frequent listener. He I know I'm I'm just guessing thing but. He did help me out of my book the Brothers Bulger he had a he had to run ins with faltered he sat down with me and that I need to give me a lot of information but. We've we've never really hit it -- in a big way quarterback Statehouse days. Jog your next with how we car and Sean -- ought go ahead job our job.

hey guys -- are you know don't come into my question is when you do get to congress I would like to know fuel support appearing. President Obama first birth certificate. And also I want to know if you world support. Auditing the Federal Reserve -- don't seem to interest -- indoor.

Well. I honestly -- an adverse stiffs get -- the answers now I mean I think we have with there's no way now burn it that Obama's going anywhere prior to 201212012. We're gonna get. Rid of them through these collection process and I have no doubt about that.

It is the day John yet understand the Dem gonna try to make that an issue it's like it's like with the Tea Party column tea -- say there -- the -- one of the democratic chairman is already saying. If if the Republicans take over the house are gonna subpoena Obama to get the birth certificate this is how crazy they are I mean he can play into their hand.

And I'd much rather focus on all the other legislative issues we've got out there now there's a lot of damage we have -- right now we have to get this economy going we have to get the deficit down. And something like that would be a distraction. From fixing some of those other problems.

Okay Sean we we got to take a break but we really appreciate -- being whether -- here and value welcome on the show any time and good luck -- your web address again.
