To do. Joining us now is a job loft one he's we were Republican. Candidate in the first congressional district -- Rhode -- That's patches Kennedy's district right now now he's running against a mayor's Sicily from from ma. Province and -- you've been you were considered an underdog after patches got out but the now I see you're running neck and neck in the polls John that's pretty good congratulations. Well thank you very much -- were pretty excited you know we we kind of backed up what we've been seeing across the district from the beginning. That in fact. You know you're near enough blue baby. The message of smaller government lower taxes more personal freedoms really started -- And folks recognize the Washington VATICAN all. And that spending a guy that failed as the mayor of Providence down to try and fix it is the wrong approach. So I was amazed yesterday when I saw that thing in the Washington blade to gay newspaper you reporter Mike column today that they they said that. You're using your putting your wife and troll grin in your -- in your flyers in your leaflets and that was homophobic. Because or -- you're your key here Iraq competitor is is gay. -- My wife and family have been in by -- literature going all the way back to 2004 what I read for. We Rhode Island house the first time and -- numbers are like them they're they're pretty cool. So you've been -- -- from the start. As for -- A club kid young kid yet what 8774694322. Of -- wanna talk to John Laughlin at the that these. The mayor of Providence in the I believe one of the more interesting this campaign stunts that you've done this year. Came when he he it came out that he had accepted more than 20000 dollars above his pay. Yeah -- legally against this city charter. 20000 dollar raise the only gave it back. What he -- got caught. He gave himself for what I've never heard I mean I I know politicians like the -- and automatic raises but I've never heard of old guy actually given himself for race. He did he didn't felt they have great and a bonus of 5000 all of. -- bonus. Because he was so who does that the mayor decided that the mayor had done such a good job that the maker to surf the topic 2000 dollar bonus. Well you know I mean it's with sub -- Sicily and it's it's what we've seen and it's consistent breaches and integrity. Yeah yeah have 500000 dollar a year personal chauffeur. Paid for by the taxpayers and even using it for campaign here. I expected a campaign appearance doubt in my district and not only stop 200. When a television news reporter caught. A -- tells you spend 500 dollars I'm Leo. Now here for personal shuttle virtual murder and SUV and you use -- for campaign stops. And then all the stuff that they got caught the rate it gave the money back again after they get caught. And you do -- should put some of the money in a wheelbarrow. We did yesterday illustrate the point for the media you know -- -- respect immediate sometimes a little bit of hyperbole there. And make sure that they understand we got 40000 dollar cash. And it filled with a -- we -- over the local hardware store. And we will this thing out during a press conference just -- to drive on the point at what point out about as. Really look like and and it seems ridiculous the -- excuse was he didn't notice. That it's gotten very little -- the average that I undergoes with a checkbook dot when he bought. He didn't notice it he did notice how does the -- but he -- city gave it to himself so we must have noticed that well we're. -- -- -- lining a lot of minority split into the the US Scott Brown down their own -- what. Where today we had what a great day there was there was another politician out of the same time like they're called -- Scott Brown in -- for -- campaign. And and we want to bunch of small businesses that out of Lincoln. And shook a -- and -- -- -- -- some folks and it was just an absolutely wonderful I've used it so energized you know he came down for the first time in in June. And if underage early on in humans are the first guys to believe we could actually do this and severe side at one point and I'll never forget it but Johnny that don't pay any attention to the polls because you're gonna -- down until the very end. -- -- polls and your poll numbers will come up they're very -- don't let it get it down you know the first poll that came out in the strait every down by one. And then the next already -- eleven and endowed by god and outside. So you're exactly right and then you just keep stick their message and then it actually mean voters. That he called it -- you're getting. And you'll be just fine and and exactly where were. You're your military guy to like like Scott right. Yeah we both both -- pick -- trucks both have two lovely daughters. Is a lot of apparel. 18774694322. If you wanna talk to was John Laughlin do you see a Republican candidate for patches Kennedy seat that once -- patches lately and Leo district. -- I guess it was here -- -- the president came in for my opponent. But I. Other than that that we haven't seen much. That's a Chevy -- next with Howie Carr and John John -- the state rampant that now -- -- Republican candidate for Patrick Kennedy seat more violent. Go ahead -- They are great aren't. They admit that it earned what are your constituent -- really going to -- And I wish you all about a lot and a well orchestrated by the way it goes and that DOD made with just barely -- it up via. I think he had a problem with is. Actuality it but so like. All. Thank you very much -- and and now we certainly appreciate the vote I would bet it's helped by friends. Because that's -- it's that they can tell them to help our friends because we're gonna you know we're -- we -- you know over the top so we -- we -- work extra hard. I know you don't wanna talk about what I believe Sicily -- VMware has had some problems over the years. Well I mean it is brother. Apparently ever checked. I'm the capital client. They have -- city a -- actually removes from one of their -- he's contributors. And the check was upheld in a draw for over a year when they finally took it out of the -- -- -- -- about. And so they've never recover the money from the fact we they'd never recovered the 75000 dollar check. The mayor's brother went to prison on a totally different matter. When he returned the city gave him an out licensed open -- business. I can't imagine a bios by local out of thirty but felt solid start revenue. That they would then immediately turn I give me a bit as well. We're not -- brother. Yeah I know people of people told me that you know this is -- administration is making Buddy Cianci look like a good government or type a reformer. -- -- your next with Howie Carr and John -- go ahead Maurice. How are we know how are you -- -- a primary just some good good it's all due respect though because of the CPA okay. I just wanna challenge that 500000. Dollar chauffeur figure because. Conservative believes he has around the clock -- to read it he read the piece that's -- 150000. Elite group -- -- the battle in a month. Let's say 80200000. Ordered de L I'd guess. He couldn't go around the world quite highlights. Maurice it's a figure that the man has not disputed. It basically says. It wasn't his decision. That the police decided that he needed that 500000 dollar per year of security detail at Joe -- and not. Jupiter and its unique he never disputed that figure. And back when he was caught up with this and the -- argue that Ford campaign appearances. That's when he stopped but he never ever challenged I think. They took the call Murray's one more quick quote call here Chris your -- with how we car and a representative John Laughlin go ahead Chris. Hey how are ya wanna bullet you know I'm appear Vermont -- my -- -- -- powered down at all day. Well let me break here and our first congressional district on the Newport.
