Democratic Presidential Candidate Mike Gravel Pt 2

Welcome back this is Tom Finneran knew while listening to Finneran for a money M 680 WR KO we've been speaking with former United States senate -- might rebel. From Alaska he participated in the debate last night among all the pro democratic. Presidential hopefuls up at Saint Anselm College and he's been responding to my question about to take some New York calls. -- last question for -- senate of the fox television debate that had been lined up. With a -- congressional black caucus seems to have become controversial simply based upon. The the spots IE fox. Biden has indicated he's go on he'll be prepared to go even if he's all alone so many the other seem to be running from -- which you opposition on out of why.

Yeah except that the institutions through by the beginning and I think it's ridiculous. Arafat is very biased and pro Republicans but that's not its who want to get our. Our word to and so I think it was -- biopic for move on in the other democratic candidates. To play politics. Then there's the tragic thing in the game is. This is the year artillery and no Obama and has -- want to get into the debates as polls and so. There -- that they shut these things out but -- CNN debate that was postponed from over a month and a half ago. In fact CNN has gotten out of that debate it was only because people who acting kudos censorship -- I even veteran group.

Well good be good be youthful good for them for finally put you win you shouldn't have to go through the exclusionary process not yet not in my opinion. And secondly and more importantly good feel for responding in the affirmative on the fox TV congressional black caucus I think and I say this is a Democrat senator I'm embarrassed when I see fellow Democrats run away and hide is if they you know they they really did the chicken. That chicken about I just can't imagine anybody wants to be the president the United States -- going to run from that silly thing but let's take some calls let's go right to Anthony in Middleton. Anthony around what's funny United States senate a Mike Rabelo of Alaska.

Good morning -- yeah. I'm I'm a little tired I ask how we and it should be illegal immigrants stop because narcotic -- will fall aren't any excavation business and not Marty goes and work. These people like Kerry 40 grand era parents these people big -- erected machines and you know how I know their legal -- back for the job that I oppose. And I can aren't and aspect. I get Brandon -- landscape business school built retaining walls. -- at its 43 grant -- Walton the company up for 5000 dollars.

Senator right yet our senator -- hit us a lot from guys like Anthony particularly. In the construction business. That they absolutely can't compete because the low ball tactics the illegal immigrant community just completely undercuts it and what what is what's your response that Anthony.

I don't agree I don't get a response that this problem not the is designed to bill and and I disagree with many elements of the bill that I got no magic response to that. And in the problem is that is the way our government policy and moves these solutions. In the end that's the root cause of at all. They -- sustain their own country their money go farther than that the families but when I didn't. Into the and we used to over the -- you can go -- little jobs and the jobs that you -- condemned around. And land prices. That there -- unfortunately when the shortcomings of capitalism and capitalism has some benefits but it also has the shortcomings. The market can be minutes who missed two individuals government has not been sympathetic.

Send I think senator that's while a lot of us including myself would probably disagree with you on this issue of border security and a dance. As we think that that that design that Cuba human desire you just mentioned driven by starvation and economic necessity in and and and stressed. Will lead people to do things unless you can somehow or other security really make that border virtually impenetrable but fought legal immigration I think must continue to have that problem let's go to -- a New Hampshire idealists next. Unfit parents -- what's up for the Senate a Mike Rabelo Alaska

like to make a couple points the first is that. I agree -- English should be the official language -- the minutes. And -- Italian Mara game and now my parents we're not speak English as well -- ever. It -- Hispanics. But come to this country do not want to stimulate the site. You walk into restore English Spanish unit and it's not fear the immigrants that are coming here in the past. Apparently had a -- you'll tell -- In years he spoke English because it was ruled. Just be your role in the language in front of -- that was speaking English and I think what that causes this huge prejudice. And I'm not saying that. -- best shot 14 people but you have to simulate society an audit shall become America

let me -- respondents places studies show that since the Spanish speaking people port in the same pattern as every other cultural group -- his country. -- their nuclear. Two generations they don't have the language anymore. We don't have now what you assume is because of the -- when I was well it can read. We we moved around the church the parish church in French. French was what the older folks spoke but the children didn't. In like I was telling the title earlier my children don't speak French I still have what little French I have. And my dad could barely speak militia after 40 years in this country where he had lived. Didn't get throughout the third group in Canada.

At today's this language one is a horrible when I think one of them horrible effects of bilingualism to let left people to dwell lots. Instead of making the transition that you obviously made senate up between DR data not your own children let's go to Jeff in Salem Jeff your next on -- with former senate. Mike -- Alaska.

I nobody -- senator that he had been no response that as the -- these people woke. Well law if -- break the -- I drove to jail if they could break the 18. Story.

I think we lost Jeff sanity is still there.

I'm still there and criticize in the eyes at the same and in that looks good magic. It's not going to happen in and and the minute when people have problems in this country is so quick. To blame other people. When them should be blamed the government does not functioning properly and the reason why it's not function properly and we're going to -- debate last night it's politics as usual all over again. And as -- as -- continue to have that kind of situation and have these problems because we know. -- shouldn't have gone to get that economic catastrophe -- you know wipe out what they have. It's more than that.

Well -- senate we're happy that you were given a chance to participate in last night's debate we're hoping you can stay with us from time to time on RKO we are Boston we know -- Springfield native Europe based data by birth. And former member of the United States senate so -- many many reasons you're always welcome he had and appreciate all the time you've given us we've been talking to former US senate a might prevail
