As a lot about this. Who should have some interest seen opinions on what's going on Tom Finneran is with us now how Tom what is going on. -- -- -- -- -- Fuel water this -- -- idea -- that Iraq my you know I did you bend it solid depressed Republicans calling him though so help us out. All men all mayor Leo we've got to get the good samaritans out Serbia doing. Well the good -- the good news for Republicans as I was saying was the repeal of the outgoing call tax appears to be winning. So ability greet your site a -- she murdered drink your sorrow is now -- -- Yet and yet it it got wins. You know somebody inside player congratulations. To -- belt line and a couple of other people put that the other very. You know really sophisticated their political campaign. Why you'd see that question Kris seems to be no doubt about it pretty good project. Yet question no one by the weighs only two points right now with sixty odd percent -- reporting it's only two point lead we're for the repeal so that's still. And yeah that no one is still up and the F but the fact that it's even close eye on the dynamics that Derrek Lee you know -- -- -- questions straight if you think that's gonna drag everything else. Now I think it just shows that people like their beer here. Yeah yeah well and and and that every important to drown themselves up and now -- -- are you know says surprises as many people are what's going on. I'm always a little bit surprised by the mod agenda. That it appears the governor has right now I mean I know I like -- is going to be -- tourist three point grace. Either way. And give the reports that came hand there's the early this morning. And throughout the morning it looked like the suburbs were really are cranking it out and that the city. -- of the urban areas were a little slow. You know out to the outside about. Feel right I'm and I. -- template -- what you have done a pretty good overall it yeah there were all saying this is great for us all the suburbs lute coming out today. There were very confident heading into this so what happened exactly. Well how well -- he would regularly you know this guy you know I say this guy the problem that yes. -- do yeah. Tom did not wanna talk about Deval Patrick that we lost dog fitter and I'm sure we'll be calling back though I think I think I know he was gonna say volume which is the finish it. 6172666868. Is our number. 68680. Is the text so lot of AP in -- -- everyone's cause everyone's gone for Deval Patrick he won Deval Patrick doesn't want. Kathy your next would Joe Maddon thought on RKO. I asked taking out the everybody -- -- AM radio because you know give too much information. And you think that. Too much information what do you mean. I mean -- about that outweigh the bad people oh yeah eighty bed. Dead information not that. No I don't think I don't think he was really is doing too much of that what do you what he was saying was that he was decrying all the negative tactics going nine Danielle Charlie Baker is talking down our -- I don't when the president said we -- doing is talking Filipinos believe the enemy yeah. The very top as an enemy. No I know I know yeah I know and I don't consider myself the enemy -- member of the of America I really don't so who. I don't know I mean it's a pretty wide margin for the governor right now so I don't think he can attributed to just one thing not even Tim. Would have made a different site I think even though he has 88 percentage points so you don't. Get it it is though Larry let's don't think that Kim backed off what she knew right then working. And he was working with about as as the pressure -- illegally. That women and women you make. To get out now they can't do that right no I think and then -- our friend right and. Obama and Clinton as an -- cannot imagine meddling. Boarding any debate he would find the exact -- and we are we we're not going get. Another person that can actually they pay followed to the governor know you can't do that they've got -- did did chaotic -- that. Well I think people blame this on -- Tim -- misguided he had eight percentage points. And even if every single -- voter had went with baker Diana would have been just hi it's okay Tom -- and I understand you are -- After I don't know what happened there but or. Deal would let -- political afford it now is somebody monetary -- somebody monitoring your phone calls over there are already Scott Brown -- yeah. We're everybody fighting if they haven't brought out at least -- -- -- -- I know did you see that he laughs -- me this morning he has seen -- Because I wrote a column like I wrote a column -- I question I said all what happens with Scott Brown if it's none of these Republicans win is Scott Brown just like a one time slaying is either real thing and it actually turned out that all the Democrats. Did win so you have to question. Whether brown right now was just an isolated. Incident what do you think. Well. -- -- -- -- guide you know ELE do you really turned on the softball that David Gergen through about the Ted Kennedy's seat you know just the bleachers to give credit for that yeah pop. -- -- Regret it now brilliant general a very good lawyer maybe not the best politician -- and -- -- global campaign and she knows that yet. And it will get really what happened I think. That that sheds some light on today's result. Is that Scott Brown was an early warning shot right to every Democrat Barney Frank John Candy blog blog blog every single problem. They're quite a good effect it -- you're gonna get it but can't they just weren't right yeah yeah it took about my work their work cut. And the candidates you know -- -- that -- lewd act blob blob blob body lamm not the strongest of all yeah yeah I mean -- Reasonable they're fairly credible but not convincing their work like wow I damn right I got kind of -- And there are of an FM so you're you're very have to be competent capable incumbent. Now it's happening all over the rest of the country except for Massachusetts apparently right now yeah. BI is big -- there on. Yeah. We get we get the out why is -- men in many ways sometimes that's good. Sometimes that's a little bit that's a little bit crazy you know I do think Scott probably look -- over shoulder -- -- the -- job beat the eye today yes exactly and then by the way it I think it got a lot of political approach the credibility of the Jeff. He really did his ads were everywhere saying vote for Jeff did you know he stuck his neck out just very pretty much. -- he really did it ain't give credit to focus their lineup that somebody would but open him up and here's he has the political convention. I mean he would vote in the japs. It's not just -- vote for -- I think he's a good guy and you'll be good Republicans right you know that particular -- like there shoot him so that's that's -- Exactly are and I think it's heating fuel lot of people complain about their -- that there were too tough but that's what you have to do to win elections. I mean I you know that in you did would there were tough ads but they appear to be successful. Yeah I mean I guess I'll go back to the you another big river have been the observation after first of all I think that -- tomorrow and say the New York Times yeah. Stinging rebuke to Obama right should be like all the -- my bank out of at all stinging rebuke -- stuff you don't feel locally. I thought it's like yeah up for the run out of the best. Retail political people I've ever seen in my whole life. Deval Patrick against all the odds a year -- joke guy like me US senate does not -- else. -- -- we were honest -- and that he runs we were saying. He's gonna get his butt kicked right and I was baker said good is. Capable smart impressive guy and he's gonna win by 568. Points with their lousy -- It right I know he shouldn't he should have been ahead I thank you yeah you gotta give you gotta give the governor. Our our credit -- similar and I don't his personality and the audience the -- -- -- -- like they are no I actually Clinton's personality had a lot to do that and I think I think people liked him more than Charlie Baker and that goes a long way. -- -- And it was you know Ali you know probably better than most to a member of the electorate as to -- Murray likable presentable. But didn't it is deep scream and -- and they have a -- Strickland love that develop this ballad of a lot and that. Somehow -- that he was an angry guy in my -- thought about and I think it was Democrat. Due to be about angry about -- -- yeah yeah called a coach yeah yeah -- catatonic that dump all of the top paid attention -- -- not angry RR RR -- Frustrated but given that government credit yet the being able -- voice that's. Speaks to those frustrations. That acknowledges that. And then points out hey look we haven't been a slow these are some other things -- but these are some of them will continue to do. I agree I think that but I think that the governor has to realize with all this going on the rest of the country and he did get a scare. That is she really should change the way he's covering governing an -- I think he should make some big changes in his next term. Give me an example what so why he's getting an at large Sergio. I am a real look and and I'm gonna pay close attention and I'm gonna follow the Babbitt fell but got my blood but what do we know what that -- -- the gonna. Right it makes it Derek I think he should stand up the legislature more I should I think he should announce first CE file some legislation make I know you probably don't agree -- -- but. Making -- if you really wanna cut the budget. Go after some of those big accounts some of those quasi public agencies. And really go after German go off the legislatures they hate you haven't met since August why are we paying you full time salaries. Cut and cut it's a part time I think that would make him -- pretty popular guy. Go after somebody other -- I know that you said he's done all he could do budget cutting -- you know there's waste out there. That's only could use some other symbolic things as well. I think so that's that's what I recommend and in yeah definitely keep the caddie in the garage still don't bring that went out again yuck. They got in under I don't know that but well built acquire all a little bit what you're right because. I -- Canada tomorrow. And you noticed -- he's no lame duck right so while it might be a symbolic as systems take on the legislature. Did it look at -- belt. We have been governors come and go and get just the next -- So why can't help. But so why not why not take the -- he's gonna lose anyway you know why not go out taking the one release trying to to do big things out. What I do have an alternative is to just sit down and have a very quiet professional conversation and he's good out that I believe. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- And up what you guys wanna do what you bank. Maybe even Brea bakery and a little. Brain and he should bring in some Republicans I great Britain and. Beckham brings you bad joke of the guys you know I'm not gonna put that in the genius of our gratitude beyond. And you want individual well have to assault and I really that's what six million people in Pasadena -- while that may come up with some people wanted to have the food fight twice force. That's what I like my parents that -- similar Wilson actually warm will see he actually does it Tom thanks a lot for calling now I appreciate it had been a big night okay -- out behind yeah YouTube that was Tom Finneran colander and 617. 266686868680.
