VB and Finneran

" And now there's tons forma holiday colors show I can't do it. We never video and -- Harare this is a date. You that your own unique and individual -- to figure out what I can do to help somebody else freedom. I how I don't know it."

" Now Abu Ghraib was a mistake using bad language like you know bring them on was a mistake I think history is going to look back and see a lot of ways we could have done things. Better the most expensive car on our lots where your garden always need car that was -- It's up again that's class. Just effectively. Consume no class at all. And so no class movie comes from me -- that was bought by physical tough football game two teams competing their tail off against each other. That we have made one more place emanated."

" Mellow beat me and her colleagues are like dozens of -- things."

" Lots of them to -- a group crash on the WR KO Ohio car radio network. I don't remember saying that I really don't know anybody in the confessional that's not to say that didn't happen and it that's it's a story that's believable for me and I have done things. When you -- but I don't remember senate and I don't want to what context I would say that goes on spliced. -- that's what I'm think I'm target that it's. I again I would it's something that I would do was do some warden I'll just how we on the show that was definitely not true I'm going to get you to the confessional the policy -- at the finish of the morning to get 25. I don't identities or Italy -- Britain Damien -- it would church you know America violent convulsions of Muhammad BA American all right enough with -- and sound -- when it's quote engine. It is maybe from the fox ordered by a morning news in for a college today and that voice you -- in my left the -- morning guy on WR KO MA Boston affiliate. For -- Tom -- former speaker of the Massachusetts -- not quite there -- February 12 I have been telling people that you're going to be with -- and I think you probably can guess what they've been telling me in the -- probably cannot say -- because a -- I -- there -- seven words that the FCC -- right we're going to get into a lot of stuff -- isn't going to -- sorry now can we get -- Jack Powell for -- we can get an object so last night the the opening episode the premiere episode and in the two hour time -- he has twice for little snacks and wants to go to the bathroom to check pilot and eat. Does Jack -- go to about. First while that show is just absolutely -- I came across last year what a fabulous gripping a discipline I keep telling people addictive they don't need to -- go back and her visit by its five seasons they can start an as yet you don't you can just immerse yourself into. At any point it is -- what an amazing show. Bauer doesn't -- because he doesn't need the he doesn't get time to wins he -- that comes and -- the 25 now which we don't get to that's quite the Chloe. He goes back to exhaust -- accurately help appreciating -- pattern of fat Albert it and the pats game last night and I assume you watch the red blooded."

" I should I certainly did watched every bit event in what a trifecta I have to -- in this fashion the patriots are very good that was a clutch performance politically by Brady but they all performed very very well when needed it was an up and down again there was that it was kind of it was an erratic performance by the profits overall but very clutch performance so they're very good. Patrick patriots were very lucky as well put his with a trifecta consent. Is there -- more stupid team on the face of the planet in the San Diego Chargers. Park in this -- allegedly -- to receive a current catch the ball than most of Pont company have the nit -- what's his name Florence get -- guy's face what a penalty I mean he's just absurdities opponents are introduced. That is not the hallmark of a championship team and so that charges might. Have long faces for olerud you know flow of the rest of the offseason but they deserved to lose stupidity doesn't triumph spot in the playoffs. Usually say the right team one last -- the right team lost -- of the way we're really just down to amend. The team that wanted to lose more was won -- lost and that's the way that was it it was amazing I just never Sar team continue to snatched victory away from themselves and it was used just -- it was amazing said the patriots a lucky but good and you have to give them credit. Because that's an indication I think really of the coaching in the discipline that kind of flows throughout the organization. They don't give up in somebody's face and take stupid stupid fouls stupid penalties 15 hands automatic first off it was just amazing just amazing to me and it shows are good charges -- the fact that -- took everything the pats I'd have to squeak out to -- to still squeak it -- that -- that Ladainian Tomlinson is just a fabulous fabulous run back in -- everything I had heard about him the EB. Really gentleman very classy. Well spoken soft spoken. None of that crazy dance and gyrations in show boating and all the rest he is the opposite he's the antithesis of Tara TO of Terrell Owens but apparently. Something happened out on the field last night and the into the game the united -- why he was a little I think off his stride you know he'll be able to survive and he'll be back people -- and next year. Hopefully with a new coach for his son because otherwise these destined to a life failure to act coaches so we had Bauer and none of the opening episode two moralis tonight that'll they'll give everybody appropriately gripped for the rest of the season the patriots now faced -- cults. And we had a great moved funeral arrangement lasts last week for a Jim Kelly I have I missed it unfortunately in my schedule last week. Was absolutely insane but really I think it's appropriate to pay a moment of tribute to Jimmy Kelly what a wonderful City Council but more importantly what a wonderful human being he was a great guy. A lot of the constituencies and communities -- in the south and -- village -- and the like. Who ordinarily are initially would have been quite suspicious -- Kelly's ability and willingness ability and decide. To work for them to work with them to represent them skillfully. I think -- in the end Darrell Arnold to a -- he was high energy really disciplined guy you could count on him to do anything for him I didn't know that guy it's almost as to even address some of them and I know what people have set a bottom but it strikes me as -- it was similar to yourself. In that. He had a my way -- the highway attitude about. The everywhere you know he had a sense of what was right -- wrong and he wasn't going to be blocked or intimidated a bully particularly by the globe editorial board in the like and he really thought you know who agree had disappeared excuse me agree a discreet. He really thought that busing was going to be the death knell of the Boston schools in many ways. He was proven to be prophetic the problem was decide that he was on in terms of defending. Was was guilty over the years wasn't that Jimmy Kelly was guilty of -- not at all but the city of Boston was guilty of segregation of the schools and that's an intolerable unacceptable situation. What he I think griped about more than anything else -- consistently through the course of this public Korea in as the south Boston community leader. Was that judge guarantees solution -- segregation really pitted poor white kids against poor black kids -- that was not an even an attempt to do way metropolitan solution. That's I think bothered him more than anything else it became more about. Class than it did about race. And Jimmy Jimmy went about for so many folks black and white -- young folks trying to find work in the building trades -- doing anything else. -- 20 members of his family were LT -- listening tonight you're -- was just a wonderful wonderful guy a great public servant. And I think appreciated more as the as one by the the other was when he was right in the mid. Right in the middle of the mix in the -- finalist -- you for so yes it is his."

" My first opportunity to get -- you talking about you when fox morning news that VP is that's true I grave at a -- and I were on soft -- guys don't the megaplex deal that I think it was the interim retrospect -- judgment here's some of the facts is -- are you going to get all lobby with Finneran tonight hope not -- so your corporate stooges Finneran knows -- wiesel is murky all whore house speak up need to know. How those two -- technical the choices that's I am not sure where he's -- These them and it's directed you walk."

" You haven't inevitably every single decision you make either disappoints are infuriates some segment of the population. And that that that goes with the -- so. The next senate president of the next speaker in the speaker after that in this regret that all of them will become the focal point of public dismay disaffection disappointment and sometimes anger and vitriol but."

" More so then like it charger fan to shot -- this morning you sign of but I think these those soft spot dec. For right now -- you're the Serb seizure earlier the flavor of the -- I think people are pissed -- So when you wake up in the morning you'll get your paper you go get your coffee it is it different than it was a year ago when -- do look at people and say. Jesus."

" Wonder what they're thinking about me I wonder what comments common now honestly the the read the response that I have received no of course you know want to get up in the morning get my paper -- profit like. I -- Dorchester right hand so that the neighborhood home to mean it can we have a great state representative Linda for you but you know if I wanted to stay in office Pakistan an office froze as long as I chose the people in Dorchester -- have been great. I have received calls it's letters visits from folks -- that would be astounding including attorney general's former federal prosecutors. Governors to the G unit into the dishwasher the whole range of occupation and and human activity people say tonic. Don't worry about don't worry about last week's events you've got a 20 what are you get what you get -- I have a 25 year record that everybody in the court acknowledged was an exemplary record of public service and likening him this blemish on and I understand it's a blemish and it's so it was a self inflicted won't be be so that's about that here's the most and I did this to myself I got into a word game situation and you know not to belabor the point to try to rise trying to case over the radio and the like it but it was a self inflicted wound and I apologized far. And I and by the way. I am paying a price I -- my eyes on next and I felt so an all these folks who send in the little venomous emails mean what -- they want the death penalty for this I walked what is the punishment this -- will cost me in the end. There's -- cost me. Well all of two million dollars probably closer to three million dollars and that's three million dollars on this on a rug and appalled street cleaner."

" I agree with the and it's is and what it was and again it I know it's the abuse of power in the arrogance people keep it into what. For what really happened here basically. You just didn't want to answer questions from people let me -- matches and and -- undergrowth -- obstructed I guess is the official charged. But a year from now whose life will be affected by. Analysts versus say elected duke Cunningham for example -- murder of William Jefferson down and and Louisiana so I. -- is -- believe me what I have battle the idea but. We gotta look at this objection -- say -- is no criminal activity is no corruption there was no enrichment. There was no involvement there was there was none of those things and -- doctor Mark -- one night I -- on a rare occasion you know I don't work for I work for fox now there's nothing -- for me ask you to be successful and you may not be radios tricky game as you well but. It's what you have right to make a living I think people think you need to be on the stocks for the next 50 years your life on Boston amateur and --"

" That's an end and again you know that that's why while the I can read these things a listen to them and -- Fairly respectful of the fact that is a variety of opinion out the I don't Jane effect to a I don't fall over and an abject deference to the fact that somebody thinks maybe -- should be in the stock like there should be public whipping. Of some sort part of what. I got whipped in the republika arena for more than 15 he has and and literally dollars -- was working about as -- as I could try to make the best judgment that I possibly could and the state was better off far and everybody understood that. Did you like last week just from the weekend of course. The political cartoon you are on the -- WR KO don't take requests is you'll back people you know no tears for Finneran he made his own bed in the the patriot ledger to. Did you not show the paper to your family did you trying to its from a you know what you eat and keep it hello crushed my from my family's been through every bit of this with me all the ways so they used to seal -- Editorial cut to -- in the you know that the the the editorial critique and comment that was made more -- by the globe and by the herald but they -- are all that stuff and they in in away your family develops in directly the same -- in India to develop appear in the public arena and Hewitt do you. Are there are times when you usually -- that judge Bush's family gets paralyzed by the fact that editorials all across the country -- in the living daylights out of -- And in editorials scared the daylights out of Bill Clinton before bill Clinton's -- and so forth. This is what we do without public figures I'm nuts about crying about it that this is what we do Jane swift. Got beat up on a regular basis also was -- everybody."

" We're going to talk state politics enough about you when your troubles they politics when we come back there and we should"

" 1877 -- car when it 774694322 BV. From the fox -- 5 morning news filling in for how he will be back tomorrow by the way. In the meantime you got me -- I'm joined by Tom Finneran. Perhaps you're familiar with this gentleman in his story Jack Oliver and Jack -- that's that's exactly where we -- family of patriots. He will be February 12. The new most of the morning showing them York and you formally worked for the biotech council is trapped taking your job."

" Hello you're on record now how to -- no -- is that in the portal to research the brutal to a search I expect the board of the council. We'll probably take anywhere from a couple of months to perhaps several months to -- people who were expressed an interest it's become in the past two years it's become the largest biotech counsel in the country. Fabulous growth it was about 370 members when it went in -- be it's 540 when I left so about 42% growth revenues of them have been better we had great policy outcomes up at the statehouse people -- really began to understand but just what the the the watched all of biotech. But the economic importance of -- that's."

" I don't understand why they galleries immunize budget -- we don't need to go over this but it just didn't make any sense because the results were there and that was going to continue there wasn't lights. People up at the state house of all people are going to say whoa -- auditors didn't -- citing data from now but I think."

" As a matter of fact -- probably the opposite happens out of -- to the folks at the statehouse because the Indian of the of the thing a federal court is just so recent. But that my general sense is that this probably a very sympathetic. Re action. To a rather than one though we -- Columbia Finneran he's got. He's toxic he's he's he's gone he's nuclear well as a conviction I think does that actually probably a fair amount of sympathy for the foe what one -- gone through these past two years and how this thing has and audio and it's a good wake -- call and I think the fact you luster -- will lose -- production is -- because that's going to keep people because that that's the sacred my wife was thrilled that he I'm."

" She's got a chip that has got a nice what gambling of course is illegal in the state at least as of now worry not I might have -- line of -- the patriots day -- I'm I don't want to -- or two on Sunday's game and I would also probably say that I think travel likes the salary that you mentioned so were right 22 pickle or some memories and my -- that -- an -- any incident."

" Don't have any insight -- the trip but cherry -- I think anybody who served in a position of leadership responsibilities such as the Senate president the speaker of some of the others sure that it could be capable of doing that I mean a lot of it is public Africa's and that's -- public officials to all the time. And -- catch it also happens to be a very very it's it's in the industry it's a it's an industry that he can really get genuinely excited about because of what it's doing -- Is it saving lives it improves lives it's going to address this whole issue of renewable energy and fossil fuels food supply for the world. What biotech analyst science is wrong about is utterly amazed and now I came to that job without any scientific trains -- no such transitions and so. Things no no no no no no no no no no -- But I mean my my training my education was in finance business and law so I don't know the difference between a molecule -- compound Duracell but what I can tell you was that what is going on is the most amazing science in the world. In the progress that's being made and in in the pride that you can take. Is is in this fashion most of the progress so much of it is actually occurring here in Massachusetts we the center of the world for biotechnology. And the progress that's being made on alzheimer's cystic fibrosis and cancer an every type of issue. That you can possibly imagine is utterly amazed and it was just I I jumped out of bed in the every moment eager to go to work as enthusiastic about that job. -- was about serving in the legislature and now lucky enough to be able to stop a third chapter albeit jumping out of bed right merely to come to RK ON."

" An army rose up real early network tunnel to be jumping out of bed on Thursday or Friday which -- be you'll -- didn't mean are usually up by 4 O'Clock anyway so you know this is going to be a continuation of -- Crazy lifestyle I want to take calls for you and I know that people are going to spew some venom towards theories about your big -- but also. Let's talk state politics gets results show a lot on the table right now in. You have in insight in an understanding of what goes on up on that hill that other people don't know so want to take some calls 31877 -- car when he 7746943221 last thing noble -- redo the thing was. How you very that's without you but unfortunately some power of the hatchet. -- your finger right index -- the -- disparate ends exactly right that we were aware -- on the -- operate on the men and how is looking over show as as he has been known to do and with good reason to if you have a basketball form as the president would advise them the date let's talk about the fall for a second let's talk about some stories over the weekend for starters. I know you're Democrat from a Republican. The ball is saying now that there's a billion dollar deficit -- on beacon hill. Eighth do you believe that -- how can that piece -- based on the fact we have record revenue record revenue."

" Every month of the last 136 months it seemed like -- I think I think it can be so based upon a couple of factors the revenue growth. He's not as strong -- robust as they had projected several months ago that's. 12 the spending on a couple of different things that the governor has expressed a strong interest him if he were to embrace them in full in the first -- that would probably create spending pressure that is not this is not sustainable so I think when you put those two things together less than robust growth. And feeling that not excessive but some ambitious programming that the governor has in mind in and around education in and around health -- Public safety and police officers on the street alike all of those things -- priced at the rebuilding of our infrastructure roads bridges tunnels the you know the subway and a rapid transit system all of those things need continued I would use the -- investment skeptics like you would say -- whole idea what -- exactly but it you know these these are public activities that require a public -- so I think between the two of them but he does Rosie it's not as Rosie. As one would have anticipated at the status fiscally which is back in July now in the -- it at that point. To files in the midst of his campaign as were all the other candidates. And nobody really anticipated that revenues would slow down the way they have this still growing. But at a much more modest pace. And then when you look out at the program -- costs projected. For the fiscal ideas beyond the one -- reproach and I think that's where the governor is right to show some pause and some concern. His most recent comments I think to the business ball association one where some where one sympathetic and to simply said this. We are going to try to help but we're not going to be of the doing all it won't be easy no will be quick."

" But here's here's -- guy like me throws his hands up and become cynical if -- was the governor if he ran for reelection and one we would not be hearing about a billion dollar deficit. No you probably would not be but he's so it's not you know beat but you would be hearing about slowing down the rate of spending. And camping down the appetites that people bringing two bringing to the table what we're don't fall runs in it -- debates he's talking about his fiscal shell game being employed. It looks to me like there is one being played now which is. If I say it is a billion dollar deficit now in four years want to run for reelection are run -- run for whatever. I can say well I salt of billion dollar deficit but there never was a billion dollar 12 a -- from my list to a comparison when -- became in four years ago he said there was a three billion dollar deficit. And that he saw -- without taxes. Now I think of Deval Patrick was on the day he would say first of all -- raise taxes and fees by and I agree 70900 million. They used rainy day money so that's not cutting spending and then they did -- week not not Romney -- wheat together all of us including myself at that time we we we cut back on spending so it was a a three part solution to what could be characterized as a three billion dollar problem but those revenues -- the governor proposed governor Romney is. Were embraced by the legislature and nobody was running around century that's that's an outrageous tax increase it was a -- shared solution to a very serious very very serious problem. And death. In some of this has is -- some this is the use of political words to describe the situation at present to situation. In a particular light -- I'm encouraged by what I see as a very moderate tone coming from the governor and I think. We be looking forward in the next six months the people who most likely to be disappointed in in in in Deval Patrick's first steps as governor. Will be those people who have a very active very ambitious very. Can spend -- idea Arista what should be going on in the state budget there's just not sufficient revenue to sustain that and I don't know anybody who -- who's talking about tax increases. Rules to trap started -- darted into the punch on and so there won't be any as yet as did speak to debates he says you have -- to legislatively -- who said look there's no appetite in our respective branches are what chambers. For tax increases that's why I think you're seeing numbers different than what we're hearing and that's why don't believe that there's a billion dollar deficit. Because if there was that would have to be at least in the discussion known not necessarily you can do you literally could just that to go back and cut. Cut off some of the increases that have occurred over the past two -- three he has and slowed and slow down some of the other things that are at least talked about if not actually plant."

" We're -- its calls and and literally a minute I promise but when Ronnie took over -- remember this is a debate on channel 56 John -- resentment. Remember Ronnie turning to Jill stein -- and I can't cut ten billion dollars out of the deficit but I can cut 2000002 billion dollars. Instead it went up five billion and you were there while this was going on. Is it an impossibility for the state budgets ever get smaller -- on -- I did -- in 1990."

" Whose first and perhaps the only time that IE a budget with smaller than the previous Sheehan the 1991 budget. Was smaller than the previous he has to my knowledge it -- never happened before I know never happen I don't think it has ever happened again it was a brutal time there was a brutal brutal time -- never want to revisit that and when I say brutal about speaking in political terms. I'm speaking in economic terms you had an unemployment rate -- that was almost 9% in terms of in any Indian Bristol virtue of some of the other counties probably close at 18 -- 19% the state of lost 400000 jobs there had been three tax increases between 1998. In 1993 of them -- pretty substantial ones the political that the public was so furious appropriately so so furious. With the political world the political leadership so called that they took out the fury on everybody that they could reach in 1990. And so we cut we cut the budget in 1991."

" You know -- the sources it was actually the right thing to do all calls we come back I promise we got a lot to get to casinos are back on the table or it's gambling in some fashion the balls now. Sort of switching a little bit they -- released entertaining thoughts of it what it's all this and we'll take all these calls I promise stick around its BBN's Tom Finneran here on -- archer 1877 our cards may -- for one more segment in proudly today how he comes back tomorrow. I am -- going to listen to the first 15 minutes of the show because he's going to be ripping me for an interview for the fastest our show -- with UV -- The slowest our in my life. How -- fastest in the beer to phrases to words the usually are in the same sentence on earnings -- publicity about this but I'll take him Tom Finneran joins me he will be the new morning austere and a Bjork you know starting in February 12"

" just in time for Valentine's day you'll -- a little that we're gonna spread a little love and -- kind of -- I really wanted to be show that goes well beyond politics which is only after one of the prime prime topics of conversation here in Massachusetts but the -- sports and movie business and they'll be all sorts of things global as well as local it's one synagogue give you an innocent people come to me for radio has taken -- miles away -- does."

" Using you see what the voter turnout is every every year every two years for a when you're on radio it seems like everybody is into one but nobody itself and everything people harassing gauges which as your -- finally adults about these these this is by publicly I have -- could very well I -- us -- all three of them a -- 77 -- let's take some calls for Tom Finneran and again. I'm we're talking about the state government is there is a lot of issues show on the table right now we're we're talking about brand new governor new legislature all sorts of issues as governor Romney moves to proceed toward a serious presidential run. Financial economic issues isn't the issue of concern to everyone of the callus the -- part of a local ladies talk about charging felons are prisoners for a service fees for having committed a crime which animal on favorable of course he started about casinos being. At least on the table in terms of the discussion now. There's a lot. That's going on right now that needs to be focused on right there were -- you know when patriot who -- here we gotta be careful consistent with soft spot and it's always bad -- want to pay attention. Steve your first this hour with -- and Tom Finneran."

" Good evening gentlemen he used the term was because I never thought I'd. Listen to a man more arrogant than Bill Clinton but mr. convicted felon you love that -- you -- used the word sympathy for yourself you probably why they're been convicted partner and I don't have a committed. Perspective justice. It's an approach just felt OK and you did it about something that would -- good job and got into the consulate related to -- job. Unlike Bill Clinton lied about question at least something personal view of the bulk of stand up yet. And sit on the radio station. Don't popped out of the calls from the -- like public should be sympathetic to you into --"

" I didn't ask anybody sympathy I didn't ask for anybody sympathy at all. You should pay a little bit more attention Stephen not to not let you venom get in the way -- he you listening ability."

" That talk radio were designed to give -- a -- against. You now have that -- system in -- controlled morning that the people are upset about we don't like people like deal. Who represent the system that we want to speak out against the."

" Extent that I don't and I ask your question about it okay do you do you have any objection to the fact that the people in Dorchester -- pan elected me 13 of 14 straight down."

" A couple of thousand votes you have in the very different about it in the does that make --"

" I'm just wondering is did judgment somehow or rather tainted would they not able to make an evaluation about me over many years. A whole host of candidates who ran against me. For many years were the were my colleagues in the legislature deranged when they chose me as speaker of the house five times or the -- is is everybody a moron but you."

" convicted felons why should you would have controlled anyways I don't steak Steve."

" Steve it should be pretty obvious I don't have control of any away if you are on the F. Kick in the daylights enemy and that as you are right here an American citizen first America at First Amendment rights and all that. I pled guilty to something in court so yes I am a felon do you him deny him any of this stuff whatsoever. -- a hot body clock -- Steve attendees who -- you listen to Israel to be unemployed for the rest of my life Steve and if by the way other people people other than you. Think that I have some values and insights and experience perhaps some perspective if not some wisdom so I'll just say perspective. Then why should you want me to be unemployed."

" No one is going to wasn't yet I'm just telling you this at a time -- the first show and then most of the W -- called an idea."

" That's the nature of the business and it -- also announced it I and there are going to they're your -- your bosses now so. Understood there's enough Steve's out there than you will -- on -- is nothing you can --"

" Understood and -- also I think Steve might not concede the possibility but this also I think strong possibility that there's another segment of the electorate the public that might start tuning and."

" As to the constituency issue Billy Bulger elected times at some point there is. I never underestimate the stupidity of the the voting populace of which I am a card carrying member and oft times. Voters can't see the forest through the trees there would be stupid not to elect you you're the speaker of the house for goodness I was but I was not the speaker of the house until the final years I served for 26 year old ways and means I mean better -- You were one of the five most powerful people up there for a -- yeah so this regardless of Tuesday indiscretions they would be foolish not to send you up yeah but there I think a lot of people don't like Ted Kennedy but the vote form because he brings on the bank."

" He he brings home the bacon and I mean it's it's not as if in India Indian democracy. You get to choose the perfect candidate you get to choose from the candidates who will step forward knows somebody like Steve who obviously has a lot of opinions and has a sense of seems to have a sense of what's right and wrong and I'm clearly on the wrong side of -- his assessment of you know I I often wonder whether Steve's don't run for office if they know so much of the and so brilliant. If the integrity is so clear to them into why this went on the run for office went -- they say of this country from the ineptitude of Tom Finneran a law Mitt Romney George bush whatever but somehow or other the opinions seem to be take on more more at home. -- an edge with people who literally are afraid to step forward again in the arena."

" But even you can see you could conceal I would think I don't know but when Diane -- industrial active. Why would anybody I mean I don't know what more could she do. -- would warrant her being voted out or not even shouldn't even be allowed to run in my opinion but but she -- Well and I and that primary thing is still able squirrelly -- that -- but it would it would defeat any."

" From get mental I think -- I think the thing that you can take from that whole episode the encouragement if there is any encouragement to be taken at all is that people didn't run people stood up and said. -- we'd it would not impressed with this type of behavior we want to compare present an alternative. But in democracy is no guarantee of anyone's particular point of view are -- anyone particularly candidacy. Coming out triumphant it's just. So sometimes you have sometimes champion sometimes is adamant have to -- just about half the country voted for John Kerry and -- them you know they've been crestfallen for the better part of four years if better part of 24."

" Bob your next deviant Tom Finneran -- an -- our --"

" Yeah ABB generated dog and I wanted to congratulate speaker Finneran on there's no position anyone to get -- that is good. And and first well I think that they've got out -- quote very on -- I drive in the Boston every day working box and then our -- with the unions and are proud of it. And speaker Finneran won't we've got a disagreement on certain issues but he's always been a gentleman is always. You know treated they'll work is really and now aren't they are being -- important to listen --"

" I'm happy that club while heavy on the -- well having on the line what what what locally west."

" While -- CI commodity IB EW but I worked with the I would put all unions right now that you know I know over the years you know -- that this agreement on certain issues surely you've always listen to what should always. You know kept an open mind and that you always treated people as a gentleman you know takes the big man to admit a mistake -- He came out -- mistake to pay for your your.
