-- you -- your capital funding corporation your future finance. Michelle thought this morning so we -- seven. How easily you feel free to sell them. Let's talk about Scott Brown Elizabeth Warren race two new polls over the past couple of days ones from western New England university polling institute. Shows so Elizabeth Warren where they six point lead. That. The gap being created by you women voters who favor her. While men voters favor him by a few points last night the two poles 16 point lead 12 point lead from PPP. The PB PI think is probably about accurate. Because. Elizabeth Warren is coming off the bump she would have received from the convention and and giving the speech there and having -- hole high profile love fest. And its interest -- Scott Brown's popularity has gone up he is more popular he dominates. Amongst independent voters but. The Democrats are becoming more committed to Elizabeth Warren nestled polls are showing. And as a result she's growing in strength. I think now that the campaign's gonna get under way for real in this going to be. You know the normal. Tearing down people haven't heard the negative things about Liz Warren I think the average voter who's getting loyalty is falling for some. Positive story lines about Elizabeth Warren but hasn't heard the negative ones yet. So that remains to be. To be coming across people's television screens and radio speakers the ads. And the attacks and the viciousness that will be going back and forth between the two campaigns. Scott's been vetted her attacks will be less effective I think than his well on her and that's gonna make it challenge for urban last. Tell me a tough election in the state Massachusetts because. People's instinct here is to vote Democrat. And people largest woefully uninformed have you ever noticed us. Our discussions with people I just. Am amazed. At the stuff they've never heard about a Mae east. Of of you know just the most basic. Political events going on and they don't know about it. And that makes it very easy for them to be manipulated and fall into old habits are just voting for whomever comes along so anyway well -- give us your assessment what you're feeling. Of what's going on in the senate race it's a huge race for the country it's a huge race for the president. If he gets reelected he definitely wants. By -- you know the next most important thing to my think. Is Scott Brown winning here because he was humiliated by Scott I'm Scott -- losing because he was humiliated by the Scott Byrne victory is a big. Blown. Opportunity. And expectation of the Obama administration that they just ignored the race and assumed that Martha Coakley would win in the end. Believe the Democrats in Massachusetts who told them everything was fine in the she was a great candidate. And they fell further our -- And the president got embarrassed as a result so he wants this back to badly and that makes me want. Among other you know Scott's been a great senator -- I thank and if you contrast him. Against 407 years of Ted Kennedy and that the debacle would Ted Kennedy was four by the United States of America as well as for the state of Massachusetts. They're having supper on their for two years has just been wonderful gift to the state. But I also wanna see Barack Obama humiliated and every possible way I want him to lose the election I want Scott Brown to win. As just a little extra twist of the knife I -- total repudiation. Of the radical left. These poll numbers yes how much of them do you think. Other results of -- just kind of stupid decision from both cable from Scott Brown's campaign made them mostly. To keep the negative ads out. To keep the suit to stop the super -- -- because they would have just destroyed her. By then the Indians I think the Indian stuff would have finished her and I think these poll numbers are being just. Drastically different it already is -- no I don't think there be a race if the super -- if -- Scott had made the deal on the super -- instead he's given Hurley to clean shot would not have an amendment are gonna talk a butcher and and disparaging way. Go ahead and do it everywhere. And -- really knows what the Indian stuff except for if you listen to talk radio and whatnot that's sure. Other than that means the people down. While west I don't know -- that stuff. Well they you know they might have heard it that they don't understand and they don't realize the degree to which Elizabeth Warren committed and counteract defraud. I -- her career is based on an act of fraud. And it's an amazing thing to see and really should be a fascinating story for people who examine in general. How is this is what's so bad about creating a society that's not merit based. One of the reasons Democrats want there to be affirmative action is because they don't believe in America paced society. They believe and one in which they get to control. Who gets ahead in life and they give the spoils to the people who vote for them that's the had been the democratic model. And the idea that you if you get to achieve things simply because you put effort in -- you do well. Goes against everything they believe -- 6172666. -- 868 so we are looking for. Your take on the senate race do you agree with -- -- that if far -- warrants cheating where more widely known. And I just just people believe about Barack Obama's first race if if John McCain had highlighted. The fact the Barack Obama was a lifelong radical who had and embedded demonstrator although -- long line of radicals. That he had spent his life around not just one not just bill lawyers are not just. Reverend Wright but the whole series up and throughout his -- starting with when he was a boy being. Mentor and by Frank Marshall Davis who was a Communist activist and worked for the Communist Party in Hawaii. All the way through his Marxist years it at Columbia which he confesses to. And bill -- in the whole lot of them. You know -- I think the outcome would have been different I assume. That day I attack ads coming up on Liz Warren will highlight. The fact that she's cheater she's a fraud. And she got her job at Harvard and her jobs before that by pretending to be a part of the minority class the downtrodden who were burdened. By abuse and racism. You know and another thing besides the either the negative attack ads that he has kept out because of that promise. Do you think the poll numbers are also a reflection but we all understand the first race against Coakley was just never -- it it was just the kind of lightning in a bottle. Type of thing. He's gone on now for the past. Couple years. As United States senator and from most relish in his role will accuse -- European Ryan Tony's kind of wishy washy on the conservative side of things do you think this poll reflects that because when these Liberal Democrats get out there in -- asked who do you wanna vote for. They'll take the liberal Democrat over the liberal Republican. Every day of the week. And maybe if he stuck more to the conservative principles that people thought he was going down before he he'd be ahead. It's almost like Deval Patrick statement at the DNC where he told Democrats get a backbone to stand up for what you believe in instead of being wishy washy do you think -- feet. Stood up for the conservative principles that people thought he was going down therefore he'd be ahead in the polls well no I don't think -- he's basically playing liberal with a liberal and who's gonna vote for the that for the -- the Republican liberal. Well I mean you know a lot of people like me who it -- you know it's -- -- you are small slim majority aren't sure I mean. No I think I I don't Jardine and anybody who is conservative. Pass to be horrified by the idea of having Elizabeth Warren in the US senate anybody who's mainstream. And his familiar with the issues task to be horrified. By the idea of having Elizabeth Warren representing us in the senate. That that's the reality from my point you clarify as we Toobin I'm also horrified apparent Republican senator that votes for the Dodd-Frank bill. Well with a straight face you know you -- problem with that you can look at it as well what we wanted to be Smart voters we need to do you personalize these things and not make it about who were mad man who betrayed us or whatever. It's a simple percentage that so Scott votes about 84%. Of the time I think it is with over the Republican Party with what Mitch McConnell wants. That makes him the second most independent senator in the US senate. Liz Warren would go down there and -- 99%. Of the time with Barack Obama she would make it almost pointless to have a senator you just talk up. A little voting button everybody's house. And now she would do exactly what liberals wanted her to do I read this pointless it's a straight line. Between. That that the leadership and lose warrant debt which is what we have and all of our congressman by the way. I think the best of them maybe votes 97%. Of the time. With what look -- the speaker Pelosi your your what do you call now minority leader Pelosi tells him to live. Six point 72666860. Let's talk about the senate race what do you think is gonna happen. What do you think is happening soon new polls out how do you explain the Liz Warren up by six and one of them by two in the other Anthony good morning to you -- The morning I want -- brown would learn from history. You can't be nice to the Democrats because -- turn around and they'll burial or negative ads and they always win. And it really considered a negative as it itself back to. If you say that she think she lied about it I mean how could that be negative ads it's almost like the Obama administration they can't spots to the Muslims. Because they think they'll be nicer -- chatter on the catch and throw a heartbeat. So would you get a word in -- -- history what is he wants -- -- I wish I could start controlling he had -- -- that's how about. Her what are albeit a mortgage holder probably property and Oklahoma fired or content not negative -- fact. I think factual ads can be negative if you're attacking the other person. And in that case while they might be factual a lot of people would view them as being irrelevant. They would say wanna like care. If she bought properties twenty years ago and made money in real estate -- good morning GO. Well yes good morning. Yeah. I was just chocolate cookie and much to my surprise -- -- we're in agreement with similar openly in his banter with you look that was. I was nice change. You're you're an agreement that you would like Scott to be more conservative. Yes -- I am not I am a Massachusetts Tea Party guy. And eight. Cannot get over the fact that how he did the Tea Party after he got in there. And I agree with I group. So how -- are about you would prefer if he had. Being loyal to Tea Party values which -- he never said that he shared -- -- but he's worried not anymore and -- are well that's true but. Would you prefer that he had done what the Tea Party wanted and then lose this election would that be better. That assumes that doing what the Tea Party wants would lose this election night. Strongly disagree that. Somehow I can I think you I think even the most liberal voting states in the country that you can run as as Rand Paul. Or Jim demands. Or Marco Rubio and you could win in Massachusetts. That's. That is incorrect but if you do you'd think that the tea party's influence was just. Important or not important which -- winning last. I use absolutely and I ended his country I believe what they -- -- was not saying that that he would vote for or stay home. Our -- for a -- war instead he was saying what many of us feel is that we are sick and tired of holding our know who's going to the polls. And it would be nice to have somebody who is actually principled and retain the difference. I understand but Medved then that's why frame the question the way I did to put it in the most out simplest stick kinds of terms to make it clear. There are 11%. Or 12% of the -- voters in Massachusetts who registered Republicans. Triple that number are registered Democrats. And more than half for independence. So the people who feel committed enough to conservative voting to say to register as Republicans and admit to the pollsters. But that's 11% of the population. -- is somewhere and that 11% are you and me. Who are hard core we believe in America we believe our constitutional government we believe we should stop spending my money we don't have if you believe that. Then run on that and -- -- if you -- -- stop stop making excuses for why you think you're right why you think Iran. If you think you right get out there and tell people this is the way it is this is how it has to be its -- be wishy wash in the that's the point that Don was make in the point that I'm making. If you're conservative -- conservative and stop acting like that's a bad thing well the first stop acting like I don't think you're a -- that's a Deval Patrick told Democrats DNC stop act like you're doing something wrong yes but if you believe it -- minute to go until people to -- all -- -- as a devote. Socialist phobia about conservatively he's not all the I have to start preservative I -- stay but that's not -- a lot of guys who we thought it was is not. And we're just looking for someone who's gonna stop making excuses for why their conservative -- anyone's body is sincerely don't tell me urinate is everywhere Jim aren't immunized after you kind of guy. No he's not. -- that he's not the guy you wanted to meet you assistant. And so the voting you know we're we're gonna support comes down to real life not fantasy is 6172666860. Quick break they'll take your call. It is Feinberg and actually you in the shoulder and how we show this afternoon on 680 WRKO. Traffic that's backed up some. He's still changed except where you get the truth DR AM six JW RK its. Station -- we.

When he so he's. I have Tracy checked my girls are trying to break in and eliminate this it's rough out there. I told them -- use email marketing from Constant Contact it was the right choice for growing my small business go time fitness email really works because you know people are checking their inbox every day. Here comes the competition which email marketing from Constant Contact you'll have the tools to easily create custom emails -- -- work for you this. Plane started slowly fifteen dollars per month -- Constant Contact guy come to me we. -- how could we not want to talk about what's going on here this is OKM sixty you are no. Nice job penetrating. 6170. -- -- Tea Party Republican has. Did Yahoo! is that caller somebody did but look at this is real life it's the state of Massachusetts one of the two or three or four -- liberal voting states in the country not that it is that liberal. It's just there's a lot of adults who vote for Democrats. Because they were taught that way. When they -- toilet trained there were also Democrat trained. And breaking people of those habits getting them to actually think. And you know -- even when you get people to think. Even when you get them to think they have to ignore the thought -- because the cultural the power of cultural voting is so significant and how they decide do you think you can change your mind if if you hear facts. Would that change the way you vote. I don't -- of -- re immerse your dead or maybe she didn't change she is the city councilor from. Lowell Massachusetts who endorse Scott Brown the other day read a good morning thanks for joining us NW RKO. Well good -- it's a pleasure to college attacking you. So thank you did this endorsement stop -- your -- lifelong Democrat can you explain that. Well might believe that in this day and age and you should. Think yes feelings aside to and -- loyalties aside to get cloudy which I try to be loyal. But I honestly believe that. It's in the best interest of the state and the city that you represented. If you put in the best person to meet Scott Brown is the best person. So is that what was it that you had to violate what police system did you have to violate. Or or bill and I voted this why why -- do you feel so loyal to Democrats. Well I guess that's hereditary three parents safety net have been Democrats aren't they alike so you kinda. Blend right into that and I love my democratic -- don't get me wrong but I think that. -- the timing to light when you have to step -- wouldn't say what is who is the best. To represent you who is more in tune to Yahoo! believes yup and that senator Scott Brown he has proved to me. In the two years more than he's served. That he can cross party lines that it isn't about you are Democrat you're Republican you stay over at the NT ER divided. I don't think this country should be divided if someone has been good. Bill to pass. Joined forces can come together and that's what Scott Brown does and that's what I admire it about him the most. So you must have experienced something over the two years that he's been our US senator that led you to believe. That he deserved to have your protection. Well I I like it a lot of CI get a break that. We learned a bit about members of congress who had inside information on the stock -- they cashed in on that. That's not available to the public. Just the congress. And he filed legislation to stop inside trading to members of congress the bill passed it was signed into law by the president. I believe that he. He has. Integrity like I would have I. I viewed him as the way that I would want someone to represent me -- -- how I would represent people. And and I like that and I'm not gonna say because flood this the Democrat running under the bypassed this guy because he's a Republican I didn't vote for us. But Scott Brown the first time I've voted for. I'm Shannon O'Brien she's the one I mean -- in my -- time -- that Coakley. I'd -- voted for Shannon O'Brien. But got on ice so I'm still I'm not getting a reader reader -- series a city councilor lol she's the first female mayor of that city. No I know I'm not -- -- not the third the third and that there at the woman okay that's not such an historic thing but that's all right. These -- you served his marinara the early part of -- like ten years ago. And I happened to 2003. I don't understand I -- you know I'm still not getting it I've because basically what you -- good talking points and they're all legitimate. But I do -- for you to go against your Democratic Party to go against a ball Patrick. And go against the party organization in the state I don't yet. What's powerful enough for you to make you violate all that peer pressure raw you're gonna have people (%expletive) you all over the place are you. Probably so but should that stop me from. Expressing what I believe last time I checked it with American veterans. Spot Farrar writes a freedom of choice freedom of speech and I'm doing that -- right. Should I not do that. Maybe I used to do what you believe but I do what I believe that's why I -- -- ticket in the last eight elections because someone like that much that I had this. You know. -- I have. All hacked and I do the best I can and I'm not play and -- -- -- do what I do -- them play and that. I'm just giving you might get hit OK what it's worth maybe it's not like that they think. I'm not saying and that I'm just saying and that's out of lobbyists. He is the choice that I can. More relate to than anybody else. Our Sharon -- NW RQ was read -- immerse your City Council from lol don't endorse Scott Brown hi Sharon. Good morning trotting cook she is so quickly you voice this morning country. Just comment -- my teaching a college -- time and scrap around -- was kind enough to vote to six weeks ago to come over and speak to the school. And good -- very very small notice. Computer other people like Democrats to come to because -- -- but that was just he's. He has passed legislation for the veteran that he should Hawaii believe widely. Advertised I know advertising expenses but if anybody can just. Who you do like him right into Scott Brown dot com he had to questions. All right all right thank you Sarah. Those boring. I don't know I would not know wait a minute that was not our blurring lines -- head -- -- -- as -- colonel in the army national got up. And the unemployment rate for returning veterans remain to -- I -- introduced like it. Inflation gives small businesses incentives to hire pat that down. And distance top priority would have to help heroes finding good paying job. Foot -- services that they had provided to the country and I think that's commendable and he doesn't. It expound Matta not she doesn't highlight that enough and I just thought I'd say that's what happened. Read on your sensational lead come on now -- again talk to us about urban issues. I Shirley and Allen -- I hit good golf run every now and then that's -- -- stock -- mercy -- city councilor for wolf former mayor there who endorse Scott Brown we want to find -- -- She would have broken.
