Seeking the truth with Joe Battenfeld

About it. Good morning the Thomas -- -- tried to buy network capital funding corporation your future finance. Front page of The Herald today it's pretty scary. Is Joseph baton filled in a trench coat with some of female in the trench coat. It's -- -- -- -- -- using an -- truth squad we're gonna re going around and they've basically trying to find out the truth about things so well that's unique idea. Yeah I know it's like hardly ever happens in my your business assured by the -- -- going to be a job or -- a lot of people fighting on the they beat them at the same thing happening here what are you gonna launch with can use of the -- Got -- tomorrow that they're gonna give me a job interview with the -- the winner and we have interest being we're gonna tell the truth about hookers. And we're going to hear about who think going on in the war campaign Scott Brown we heritage as you all around the equality campaign trackers. And that turned the tables in flight tracker -- tracker track the good thing. Is -- around and and film are respected trying to find something and make it turned out -- -- much in the sense of humor so. Pop pop pop pop pop pop of. A lot of this -- surprised the that are mentioned earlier in the Big Apple through these things that -- children without any debate. And I'm like that's it's a rare skills that you usually get a -- Suspension of -- thirty and it becomes very -- you gotta do what you gotta do. Since. And the lady like and I would definitely don't North Carolina last week were good part of the week. Right after the game -- vote yeah. And it -- -- experienced if anybody who thinks that game it is not gonna hurt Obama that Obama is going to be a tough reelection to go to North Carolina. Because this of the state where Obama won narrowly four years ago and he basically had no chance. To win and this time around because partly because look at that gay marriage vote and -- all the votes came out. Turnout in the rural areas within a particular thing did well in the city of course they're more liberal like Ali and places like. But -- got holy smoke it and in the -- -- -- also suburbs carrier. North Carolina and that all of that to me that a lot of people I think Obama campaign through the -- aren't -- -- waste your time. Trying to win the majority even though they're putting up a -- there. Does -- help -- do you think the -- that the the you know this is stepping out the way he did. Do you think it helps him in Colorado New Mexico. I don't I don't really I mean I don't know -- they do well but it particularly Colorado I think -- Energize some liberal activists believe you guys mention that a lot of this dissatisfaction with them anyway. And people all those people have voted for Obama anyway they're going out you'll have hope for Obama's so it doesn't impact outside. It might have an impact in states like Ohio. Which are important to answer not so much because gay marriage is not really it's such a big deal there. It's a libertarian leaning state but we'll look at if you look at what Obama needs to do. I I think they're very concerned if you're running the Obama campaign you've got to be Sarah saying everything in the world to stacked against us and you know we're good at this deceiving people and we have a big evil machine built. But that doesn't mean we can overwhelm all of the tides that are against -- we have the poll every single thing out of a hat. And hope we get a break so that means. That you have to find a way to sway independent voters that's really what this is all about plus. Motivating your base which is a little disillusioned when they -- a line -- playing games with an issue that is important of them is gay marriage. Not necessarily and they're not written notice how after the decision last week the announcement from Obama that he's now personally. Giving his support to game marriage even the -- -- political not not a well but he won't he won't give his political support in marriage so he's giving them the bare bones thing and there are so eager for that level approval. -- -- fallen head over heels just for that. And look at all the money well look I think that Joe's point that they gonna vote farm -- -- disillusioned it just knowing no my plan is the basis of a vote for him look at the money that started flowing. Into the Obama campaign from from gay donors who were holding back waiting for some sign. That he was gonna do what's right but. But Joseph let me go let it. Marriage is accurate simpler and out of touch -- but it's as if you notice is bad for him Monday or are -- gonna drag out basically did it was Governor Patrick. And he was out there on national TV. And good politics -- is obviously people go -- But why would come out odd code -- going the way ebitda plus. And that Todd has the odd Todd has a theory jar wanted to give I give us your opinion on this -- theory was this is all orchestrated and designed Biden goes on -- -- -- it's spontaneous -- Duncan follows one day laid out. Without with a statement of its complete support than Obama comes out on it's a -- says could this have picture read this thing was orchestrated. There's another school of thought that says. Biden just did a Joseph Biden in the you know all of a sudden it was a scramble out the White House almighty god. What are we gonna do now and Obama had pretty much lost his cover which which theory do you buy. I think it was partly it was partly Biden messing up because I think we're gonna do it anyway I think cadre that they are orchestrate any on the whole thing anyway. But I don't think they ever gonna do it in this manner and then when the North Carolina vote him out on a window to do it. But I think by and did I've come out soon for their rescue and administration and it didn't seem that well planned to me. A lot of -- politics right now that we think are completely orchestrated mark the -- of -- good is just. Well that they totally accidental -- they've got something every week in the last couple months they've had something planned to steal a news cycle away. Whether it's bin Laden or what have you they've had the the thing you know the war on women. They've gone out there they had -- Hilary Rosen drop her bomb on a Sunday TV show. And they're very they're very clever and making this happen so it just seems to fit the parade of events that they've been delivering -- I don't know what they would of it done to trick people into not focusing now on the economy last week if it hadn't been for gay marriage. Yeah I don't know that they would -- that -- knowing Biden lately you know it's people like you know you probably -- -- very good deal wasn't. Ultimate maybe maybe a logo -- accurate I think there were planning to do it. Anyway but it just it just seems to me it hasn't really helped them so. I guess I'm unclear as to why they were. Does that help would be so one distract the conversation which they try to do every week as they just said the number two would be to energize the base which it did a good job of -- people need to feel some reason to support in some reason to be excited. And that's a hard thing to do in a depressed economy so you've got a power and then help with fundraising. And make them look better all his Hollywood darlings while he's gone out there and then you have the Mitt Romney speech at liberty so it put more pressure. On whatever negative you can make out of Mitt Romney being knee jerk and well you know we talked about just us we probably do. Yeah but does it does it does this tell -- -- oh -- unite the evangelical base to fall Romney because now not based upon midst. Eloquence but based upon their resistance to Obama they say. Romney is with us on this issue -- a full week out with him. Right in the strongest feeling that you feel out there in the rest of the country is not bit like we like Romney or not. They're the election's going to be won a lot of how much people dislike Obama. And it really won't work will want to go out and throw them out of -- And Romney is the vehicle that -- why Romney doesn't not stop I think you'll have a good chance. But there is so there this is the strong he Obama feel indicate Mir so its fuel and that I think and that could help. Drive value being a local places like Ohio which is where in the elections you know which is where the electorally law. So on the really interesting circuit I gotta tell you that Todd is off the shots and excitement to it every day. As a little excerpt comes out of the -- book on Obama the immature. Have you been to follow on this this is astounding stuff Joseph this is right up -- rally did you allow of the gossip that juicy stuff folks who hates whom. And tolerance of that stuff what's going on with Klein. They don't quite has no you know conservative. -- at all not even close so. I I think it's as its interest -- on borrowed some extent and it doesn't really shocked me that much and I -- you know covering Obama Iranian I don't know. Where he came from an average experience he had an accurate thanks so to go to chart yeah amateur might shock a lot of people have a certain image of Obama in a different way though. But it's it's certainly going to you know it's certainly interest -- and gonna add to. Amid doubts about him out there I think. So you know -- excited about it. -- I mean there's all this stuff about Caroline Caroline Kennedy actually -- -- -- -- -- -- and try to solve the Michelle the Michelle and Oprah stop this fascinating. And by god I -- it's unbelievable. I like the idea of Kennedys having fist -- down on the -- I told her that. -- well between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama manages. While I mean is that -- that incident -- I love that about his dog appear on. I don't know how much larger impact it's gonna have on the campaign is clearly what we read -- -- All right Joseph is the -- Liz Warren engine story is that Diana out now that she's got. But it's you like it was but it doesn't seem to be and one of the reasons is but it lets see you. They cannot seem to come up with a story. Does that again the big picture now is Robert Barton has endured some good. Is that there is having no. Forget the fact that well excuse -- better in the end Erica White Kenyan heritage. To get a job we haven't found any evidence evidence that the actually is India. Well it seems clear it it seems clear that the one little piece of evidence the person presented is -- backed away from a so really what. And actually we're talking about the document in America application. You have another -- don't have it yet there in America applications. That weren't -- are obligated to act that right in the eighteen hundreds though. There were a bit too late in like Hillary -- That'd be a genealogy as relying. On this -- letter written by another -- I'll -- by the Warren camera it's something. That there is an image you know all and in a newsletter contain any. So it all comes down -- comes out of the cheekbones really I was just gonna ask -- I want somebody to put some horses in van. And follow her around her campaign stops and have some Indian women writing those sources. I mean you have to make some political -- help but wonder if you Joseph -- -- that is the truth through Portland me. -- got a good idea ought to go overboard. It lately -- is playing game and graphically is basically saying not been. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- To let other people bring it out in the media well you know pretty good a good job. Keeping that indeed indeed questions coming in every you can't that the question are you are you not so. I think I think it's gonna -- -- in and it would be good theater but I don't think in the long run may need to do all or partly due this kind of. How about the fundraising numbers are required to just hit a fundraising numbers -- Elizabeth Warren I think has raised twice as much in New York City is Scott Brown hands are -- I was retires. And -- there and Ali New York City and everywhere else when you about it dating. The New York City I think is particularly interesting as New York City money means Wall Street money. And that's where all accommodations yet but that's and that's where the only thing it's. Or acute pain was so critical of Romney about raising money -- emit a big deal about it about crime and written about Scott Brown -- stories about it. And it why would you why would you do that wouldn't you know that you raised more money in New York which basically rate -- more money. Out of state and places like California and New York is cultural -- -- -- anybody can do it and you'll find you know every everywhere. I just like a Wall Street thing in particular humorous because they try to they're trying to make Scott Brown's fund raising numbers. Into a sign that he's in the pocket of Wall Street. And she's given away more from hell yeah I I think you have to be campaign we'll talk there's no there's no indication at this point that it's Wall Street money -- New York City that a lot of lib -- not just that I mean with New York's. -- the city New -- a very liberal place. So you hit and and a very wealthy players he's he's in a town on -- sunny it could be yeah I mean you could very well basically bastards who don't let you know what they're doing on the Wall Street hedge and the hot what I -- -- Adobe. All right truth squad nice stock. We're look at Florida the first true -- report The -- tomorrow. Thank you thank you Joseph Maddon felt the go talk about.
