Richard Tisei On Congressman MaGoo

There's a bruising. Congressional fight going on all up on them or shore between now John Tierney BS sixteen year incumbent like -- pockets Tierney. He is his wife -- -- in prison last year for thirty days after Russia was convicted of pleaded guilty to -- basically money laundering seven million box for her or gangster racketeer Brothers. One of -- restore millennium. And that rich to say is the Republicans. Former -- minority leader former candidate for lieutenant governor in 2010. He and he's -- he's running against that he's running as a Republican against tyranny it was I think a sixteen year that now in congress. And rich got today I was going after -- Tierney because. He he's he he he seems to have different opinions about the use of executive privilege depending on which party controls or -- the White House is -- correct our rich. -- NATO and -- It is very selective. The system. What have both bush was president he wanted openness and transparency and people don't know what's going on and now we have this. Scandal and facilities in caused this -- fast and furious program is just unbelievable that the government would be doing it. Have been investigating it for ten months and finally got to a point where in a move right up the chain of command in the Justice Department and the president issues. You know. Consecutive from an executive privilege offer. Otter and audits are just really -- so from under the investigation. Yeah he's. And general John Tierney and all these -- Democrats I mean I remember back a few years ago lot. We we played the cut yesterday from Barack Obama in 2008 that. You know while the did justice Bush's Justice Department was accused of firing a few US attorneys when he took over in 2001. Which is standard operating procedure for new administration bush actually left warm enough power from Clinton's I'm an office. Then the vast majority of presidents of ever done and -- and cold or Obama is say he was the it was a you know what thundering about the you know how -- -- bush claim executive privilege on this and and the bad thing that I wasn't even a scandal this thing there's an American American law enforcement officer dead here in fast and furious and I. I think that adult I think it's a much more rough terrible husky embolden a bush was uttering an alleged scam what bush. Well I think that this is -- incredible that we would -- take 2000 guns and give them to Mexican terrorists and I think not expect. -- American agents stand up getting killed and you know the thing about this is is that this was a big cover up from the beginning. It took whistleblowers within you know ATF to step forward explain what happened or has been denying it the whole time but. Little by let those in more and more information as -- out. The very clearly points to the fact that people at the top. That's forms of the Justice Department knew about the program and you know and once they got caught they covered it up and that's really what this vote vote. I gotta say you know what I call on your team estimate -- because he's you know apparently has no idea what's going on around the don't feel safe situation -- no idea that is the other losses -- brother in laws is stepson his wife were involved in the gambling operation for corporate decade. You know he sits on the government oversight committee so I do expect him to you know again you know to know about this again he's turning a blind. To what's going on. So he voted against he voted against the holding holder in contempt yesterday correct. Right is member of the government oversight committee and you know. I -- say I don't you know I kinda look at the government that you know the governments become so big you have all these agencies and a lot of cases their world agencies. And it shouldn't be a matter of party and what it should be disciplined you know with -- -- imbalances. You know in our constitution where that car vs. Ability oversight. Function over the executive branch and in this case you have federal agency that's gone haywire. You know people obviously we're very complicit at the department of justice and I don't care -- Democrat Republican in the bottom line is. This should be investigated and you know what happened yesterday by the president -- exerting executive privilege you pretty much pulled the legs out from under the investigation. Yeah yeah I special care for your what they were trying to do rich -- I have no idea I don't. I I don't believe that day it that they were so stupid as to think that somehow they were gonna pull an end run around the Second Amendment turn. Turn Americans against gun rights with 2000 weapons is just it's insane. It doesn't make any sense at all obviously you know the fact that the attorney general can't remember when he and see what he knew what when in no way it. You know he was forced. They came out and says well this was old George Bush's problem was. Storm area other people like to blame everything on George Bush any after practice these rights saying that you know good. Which is an attorney general. Knew about the program. With no apologies either no apologies. It's just incredible what's going on and I think it shows you know why people need an independent minded congressman because at the end of the -- -- parties shouldn't be the overriding factor should be the truth and you know providing openness and transparency. And government. Not like it's. I like the way you were going after Barack -- last week saying he should return all the money that he had gotten from -- the Patrice had gotten from the Brothers that was but I Pachulia gruesome blog without tell people what you did last. Hit over a federal judge the brother of one of the Brothers in -- as you mentioned this stone in it were writing this legal gaming operation making millions of dollars. The other brother who has been convicted and he's gonna be sentenced on June 28. There was hearing for restitution and the judge ordered him to pay about seven point seven million and was and other problems the judge ordered to give back something like 25. I couldn't figure out how to act I thought I figured the Brothers would be run -- the thing in the yet yet they get caught the alleged accomplice had the payback. More than three times what the brother had to pay back. Right and you don't join Tierney and his wife received over a close to 250000. Dollars from the same. Illegal gambling operation so all I was saying was that you know if that the government is coming out and say you know -- -- the brother was ill gotten gains should be turned. I think that the congressman's wife should return the money that they -- and I think it's fair thing to do that to give -- gamblers anonymous or some other. Some other charity. The only way you know I know you're kinda rare and for all the -- -- you know as far as reading books but -- -- despite the next. You know an extensive and so -- the Syrian president what -- it was. Yeah if we don't you know I like that was -- you know -- when he when you said that he came out said it's time for rich to stop using Patrice is his personal punching -- I thought man I -- what. Does he what are kind of glass -- does he have -- mean she she's involved and that he says she made a mistake. Like that she made sure is laundering millions. Reduced to hit it isn't necessarily about her it's about him. Because it was well known to everybody with the brother in law was doing in Antigua the New York Times had a front page article in 1998. Where -- literati game for -- came out and sent him down and -- can't touch me down here to see it already been convicted of doing this in Winfield. More from his house was raided and you know in the early nineties so you know but so if your brother of what was on the front page of the New York Times. The story I was running an illegal gambling operation do you think that you would go down twenty query and have dinner that this had orders of these. You know the gambling operation in certain -- -- with TV sets with sporting events on. With people you know taking bets on the phone all around you and so you have no idea what was going on. And that's what he expects constituents to believe I don't know -- model over the district right now and these -- you know people. You know obviously you know I don't think he's on the truth about it. Plus she was -- -- money through the 22 from the couch right I mean. -- -- it in the carport. I don't published is a helicopter costs. And I don't. We have 5000 dollars in the checking account how much doesn't -- copper costs. And yet you know we weren't you're right I mean who does that we're still everybody still -- So anytime you say anything about it it's you're going after his wife and it really isn't about the ways it's about him. Again you know acting like -- ago we didn't see any of this going on and you know it was a you know either he has totally incompetent or you know is our congressmen on the government oversight committee which is scary yeah. Or he turned a blind eye -- because he did end up benefiting financially from. And that's really you know that's really what I think people on the ground level and to stand. -- you're you know another thing just who has wanna serve -- -- a couple of calls we want to talk to you but. You know some people mentioned today that the front page story on the -- about the it you know a representative Stearns from Florida is -- now and I haven't got to try to have an investigation of Cape Wind. Andy and you also be more sand you know on the mass on the -- message boards say here we go again. The congressman from out of state has to step and to help about the people in Massachusetts like keep you mention the ball jurors earlier like senate like -- congressman Burton had to do with the oh lead the government reform and oversight committee. There was no on that committee when Bulger had to go wouldn't testify. It was torrent area who questioned Billy -- about what you know about his brother and went you know. Which is pretty ironic you know especially that you've become so indignant when -- last in the same questions about its. You know that's that's truly dead heated heated and I must say he didn't ask the yeah you know there were several minutes and members of the Massachusetts delegation at. Marty Meehan and Steve -- wore on and they they asked much tougher questions than than Tierney did not buy it now. I remember that that was the hearing that you got the programs see -- right. Right exactly yes I don't know. Yeah exactly I was let them unless I'm the last of the silent movie stars. Yeah but you know again I mean that it where where the mass where's the Massachusetts delegation I mean that there -- big bear. Putting through this Cape Wind thing I mean -- I suppose it's a good idea here if you believe in global warming -- that are. But I mean the the the power rates are gonna go up the electricity rates and and in the ones and and some guy from from Florida has the step. Right that they feel that project is really a boondoggle. You know no matter how you look at it because not only are people going to be paying. You know for the electricity that -- project probably double or triple market rates. But thirty paying for right now and you know there electric bill that the other pools of money that I'm out of character -- Help finance lamps -- -- -- in the getting fed program so it's like super super subsidized and it's perfect example of crony capitalism you know I mean the government shouldn't be involved to the extent it is -- approach -- Yeah I know you you know alien might dump the used up signs of do you mind paying six cents a kilowatt hour. Annually I guess -- they don't forget that the -- you're gonna -- go back and -- concede that they're now they're paying two cents a kilowatt hour. Do one of the -- do you would you want your electric bill to be tripled for those who obviously the answer to that is Nadal -- -- But it they'd I don't know I let's say a couple of calls for rich to say he's running Barack congress in the sixth district against John. Pockets Tierney who is. The mister mister might go that's a good way to describe him miss storm of the missed him a go of the congressional delegation Roger your next with how -- car and rich to say go ahead Roger. You know we are rigid. The position then that disappeared -- As seats in the oversight committees -- machine a hundred he just. A member of that board isn't ranking member. He's there with this -- the Republicans control the congress now Roger so he the most he can hope for would be so called ranking member which should mean to be the senior Democrat. A senior not yet. But I mean it. For him to make it stable like it's painful to sit here watching this turn into partisan political theater. On a matter of this importance -- are American citizens that. Injured and killed. And that's I think the problem you know I think his mindset is that it's you know it's. He's a guy actually in the congress. Who votes 99% of the time with the leadership that's probably why they have them on that committee. You know it's almost -- suppose if you live in the sixth congressional district John Cheney really isn't the congressman it's Nancy Pelosi whose -- he's you know he votes with her right down the line. And is an independent minded at all. Yeah he's one of her most loyal supporters and I mean she's just she's she's just getting crazier by the day. Ali has heard. Her daughter was his chief of staffer. Portion. Oh really I didn't know that is this the daughter Alexandra -- -- almost became a movie maker is this different daughter. I'm not sure which one it is. They definitely have one of them. Not hack hack around my -- It doesn't it doesn't end at the borders of Massachusetts thanks for the call Roger Nino you're next with how we aren't rich to say go ahead and you know. Oh Steve you're next with powered car and rich to say let's stave. Drawing of missed them ago it's got to -- not to show. That they picked it right -- Right is that next. Part. You don't quit lie. But the -- better. That's yeah it's a testament to lot of young people don't fumble that was vote you experts do. Sergeant Schultz sergeant Schultz might be better Steve thank you mean now you're next with how we card rich to say go ahead and you know. Believe in the -- out this week. Well basically my question is that that would be darts that medical. The -- tax. I you know it's somebody who had a matter of like your body at the moment. I didn't understand how it's gonna going to be that he can open up -- -- his constituents that are suffering right now -- corporate development. What what's your position on what she did to his constituents. But basically slap in the in the states in not addressing their concerns -- incidents you know he's so it depends what company do. In this is how -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- There's a perfect example of what happens when you vote by the rubber -- 99% of the time with the leadership. You know that and obamacare -- -- don't know you know but they're 21 tax increases -- -- take effect after the election. One of the tax increases the 2.3 percent excise. It's not a sales taxes and excise tax and total gross revenue for medical device companies. The North Shore of Massachusetts has the biggest cluster medical device companies in the entire country so you know those drugs that. You know go from sixty to 80000 dollars a year. They're good middle class struggle is always sector of the economy that's grown over the last few years. There was a vote about a week ago to repeal the medical device -- yeah. You know represented achieving represented its markets to their credit understood how important was his first job creation goes. -- Elizabeth Warren came out and said you know we should repeal this tax because it's gonna hurt -- so yeah Curtis you know it's gonna be good way off the charts right. -- ended up voting against repealing the tax and you know why would somebody vote against the the interest of the -- constituent is in the district and again when you vote 99% of the time with the leadership that's what you end up falling into the probability and that's exactly what he did. So you mean -- that -- the Democrats who'd who'd have fewer people in the industry outside the district. Still voted to help the sixth district more than the actual congressman dead from. Six we have a lot broke Massachusetts but. Obviously. Where there is feeling and so I just saw the wisdom and repealing the tax and you know this is you know it's something companies authorities said they're gonna and implement -- freezes they're gonna lay off people that -- to have money for research and development. And you know with the economy in the doldrums the way it is right now this is -- like the one bright spot. You would think that the congressman would be sensitive towards. You know but you know as far as he's concerned he came -- so you know the medical device companies. Company is they want this they agreed to it as part of obamacare and I got to tell better all around the district of with dozens of people in the industry nobody for the and nobody supports it now understand. Took the opportunity to do your did the remember those -- pay -- taxes on there'll gotten gains. We don't know that. We don't really know. No. Really don't know. While. Actually called the no Linda you're next with I wonder if he would vote for attacks on well -- Only one other Brothers did pay taxes because the one in -- -- and it will pay taxes because caprice. Was wasn't convicted for money laundering and convicted her for filing false tax returns for abrupt so at least stepbrother. Filing false the congressman's wife -- file false tax returns and he's trying to push through tax increases on his constituents. That's nice Linda you're next with powered car and rich to say go ahead. I can't imagine they are having me on her arm. Uganda and talking about here I'm Tierney -- 99% of the -- without leadership right yes. -- it and know that. I mean it's been painted out there for our -- -- to say is that like she gonna -- 99% of the time with the Republican leadership has. You can't tech -- Our group because the ground being one of hot -- idea. Young guns. -- say what. You call the top gun. Right up and that is that these promotions. So -- -- We thought I would say as far as somebody who was coming in off the street -- question what I would do when I'm down in Washington. But the fact of the matter is I was state legislators state senator for twenty years -- state representative for six years I have a record. And when governor Romney was here in the states you know I voted with some of the time I voted against them the other half the time. You know I'm a Republican but I also -- an issue comes up I at a really strong record of looking at the issue and deciding you know what's best for my district in the state and as a congressman I'll do the same thing -- it was best for the district the state in the country and that's the way I don't know whatever Republican philosophy but at the end of the day and they do which rates. Just the way Scott Brown has to do what's right for the people -- Massachusetts -- -- United States senator. Thanks for the call Linda. Scott Brown carried the district pretty handily did me in 2000 town. Up branded terrific he won the district by about 6040. I'm out there all over the place she's doing really well up in the North Shore right now it's imperative that. Robert you're next with Howie Carr and rich to say the -- Congressional candidate against incumbent John Tierney in the sixth district on the North -- go ahead Robert. Hello Ali hello senator -- Excellent excellent -- Well I am just start curious -- you plan to be a problem solver in congress because that's not an -- voter. In this district. We need someone who's gonna get down there -- really represent the people of the district and will mock you rubber stamp and I just curious. As you lied congressman charities. Record company -- bills -- he actually had fun and a lot but he's offered. Yeah yeah rich did you of this guy call -- bond but is it. Listen talk about it talk about a soft ball the heir Robert this trip but are you. A question you're gonna know the answer to this one hour. The pocket -- that's sort of you know Israelis have been in office for fifteen years in there's never had a bill signed into law -- went through the house about a week to go to. I'm so there's a month or two ago. Designate the city of Salem as the official birthplace of the National Guard and that this city's own expense they can go out and put up plaque somewhere in the city with that designation. Which is -- for Salem but I would think after fifteen years -- civil -- -- you know. Thanks for the call Robert 18774694322. Eileen your next -- powered car and rich to say go ahead Eileen. How. Affect the plumber I tell you I am so coldly instructed. Lucky arrogant completely disregard. Editorial comment here you know the constitution in that area. You know issues that come up. So I you know an -- -- thinking like into our surgery or not. In England and I undercooked or change you know from the imperial attitude and I kind of witnessed you know almost every Atlantic. So you know Richard just a question about how -- -- -- extinguish all I would do you know these leaders to become comfortable. You know in a lot that we -- -- -- -- you know which Beijing two totally district you know how would you be different boat. Or me you know hacking. I think it's important that the congress. Doesn't matter it's not a political you know Democrat or Republican thing. But I think what's happened over the years is that the congress is given up their power in the consecutive has become more and more powerful and do you know again you could have checks and balances in government and you have all types of -- agencies all around the federal bureaucracies that. You know go -- and they do things. -- our programs like fast and furious and when that happens you have to have. Investigative. You know check imbalance in it's supposed to be the congress and you know the congress has abdicated their responsibility and a lot of different ways and places totally dysfunctional right now I mean they haven't passed -- budget for the last three years let alone. Help president accountable so. You know you know I think I understand the proper government and at the end of the day you know with congress needs to be an independent. Bodies. Separate and aside as. Thanks for the call -- mark you're next with how we card rich to say go ahead mark. And I don't but revenue didn't well hopefully it yesterday took questions double lightweight substantial the Second Amendment. And yes somewhere out there for the getting all his people out adult. We sit around to collect them that lives by that alone. By certain members supported I think and AA rating for over a quarter from. People. -- actually. On this second question. Which was. There is formed a sat on the other committee here in Massachusetts years ago that. Quote welfare reform act which is that I was cutting edge. You know we were the first states to implement reforms and I do think that you know it's probably time that the federal government. And including -- and impact on the federal level. I think at this point it's probably time for the federal government to revisit from the congress street visited because. You know but there are a lot of people on the are great now but there -- enough people pulling it and you know over the country is really getting -- -- right now. Were reaching you know the tipping point and we're gonna get people you know -- vote. Being productive and in doing not just depending upon becoming. It totally dependent on the government. But the story in the Wall Street Journal yesterday that they cut the government is paying bonuses to states 500 million a year is budgeted for bonuses to the states that sign up more people to be on food stamps. Their own advertising right now it right up. I gotta say -- opposes a lot of food pantries and there are a lot of people right now or really tough situations you've got to make sure that these that the aid is there for them to help them get through a tough time. But you know you know I think with the Wall Street Journal certainly I think it's true were also setting up an entitlement other entitlement program you know becoming getting everybody's so dependent. On another government and -- that when the economy doesn't prove. It occupancy rates go down -- what they were before I mean states shouldn't be getting bonuses to advertise. You know -- -- give people signed up. Yeah it's gone from two it's gone from 22% of the population in the seventies on food stamps that 14%. Stubble and stubble and -- in America 31 at seven I couldn't believe that I read that Malia. And in their and you're right you can't get away from the advertisements on TV won't give you one more call them what you go -- rich are Robert you're next with how we card rich to say go ahead Robert. I record -- -- the content but but you that a second ago. -- -- that if you've elected to do for what was best Avi. It district second what about for the state in the country. That and the politics into it do. First it was about but the country and for the day and for the district. Very good politics get elected selected a tactic that the metal and outlook cut out. Of the court if we look at country or. I just went down that way because I think that the country is that are really critical juncture right now. And we're like two or three years away from becoming Greece. Or you know or Spain or Italy -- -- forty cents of every dollar of the federal government spends just for its operating expenditures. They have to go forward be here. That's why we -- sixteen trillion dollars street now and you know the people down there are you know. You're great divide down there has been you know it's all partisan and picking -- people are really sitting down says you know. What you know -- the country first aside from politics so what do the things that we have to do to get governments the world and that's what I -- there was a congressman. Okay rich thanks for being with us we appreciate it that's former senator rich to say he's -- running for congress as a Republican the -- -- Republican candidate against.
