Thanks 4 00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.439 very much, Stan walk Ins. I'm delighted to welcome back. 5 00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:17.320 It's been a while since we have talked with former 6 00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:23.800 US senator hopefully I think in Scott's mind, future US 7 00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:27.679 Senator Scott Brown. Hey Scott, welcome back to night Side. 8 00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:31.280 Yeah. Thanks great to be on. Well, I've been busy 9 00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:35.799 with grandchildren for sure, and obviously, you know, just just 10 00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:39.679 doing my part to you know, make a living. Quite honest, how. 11 00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:41.960 Many grandchildren do you? I'll start with one of the 12 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.320 easy questions. How many grandchildren do you? And my great 13 00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:47.200 friend and colleague Gail Huff. 14 00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.719 Now, yeah, we have four four, Ala has two boys, 15 00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.159 and Ariana, who's up in Portsmouth here with us. It 16 00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.359 is two girls, yeah, four, two and a half, one 17 00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:57.200 and a half and one. 18 00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.640 That makes it an active household. 19 00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:04.079 And you have no idea. It's truly. People who have 20 00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:07.959 grandchildren understand it. You know, we watched them on Wednesday, 21 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:10.920 two of them and it's like, oh my goodness, honey, 22 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.200 where's the bottle of you know what we are going 23 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:14.040 to start drinking? 24 00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:18.000 Yeah, I hear you, well, you have decided to throw 25 00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:23.000 your hat back into the ring. Jean Sheheen, longtime US 26 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.480 Senator from New Hampshire Democrats, said she's not running for 27 00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:29.480 your election. In twenty twenty six, you, I know, had 28 00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:34.200 been in conversations with former New Hampshire Governor Kristanunu, and 29 00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.319 he decided that he was not going to run. I 30 00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.319 certainly hoped that the two of you would not have 31 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.400 had to have run against one another for nomination. How 32 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:50.280 did those conversations, God, was there sort of an understanding 33 00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:52.640 that one one would get in and one wouldn't. 34 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:55.760 No, no, no, listen, We've been friends for a while. 35 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:57.799 I have a lot of respect for the governor. You know, 36 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.120 thank god we have him, and we have now senator 37 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.480 now Governor Ao, and you know that's the beauty. They're 38 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:09.560 fighting very hard, you know, to make New Hampshire basically great. 39 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:12.240 You would have the Executive Counsel of the House and 40 00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.759 Senator Republicans, and they're fighting to protect that New Hampshire advantage. 41 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.159 And the Federal delegation is just you know, out between 42 00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:24.840 the high taxes, the gosh, the spending, the wokeness, the 43 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:28.919 open borders, protecting illegals, giving away benefits, you know, more 44 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.599 and more regulations. So you know, we're lucky to have him. 45 00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:34.719 And Chris is a good guy. And listen, I would 46 00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:37.800 have certainly supported him a thousand percent if he decided to. 47 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:41.120 But he's been a governor for eight years, and you know, respectfully, 48 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.960 he needs to go and do some things that he 49 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:45.800 really wants to do with his life. He's young enough, 50 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:49.000 he can always come back. He did an amazing job. 51 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:54.120 So yeah, a look, he's. 52 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.319 A great friend of mine. I said, and I said 53 00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.479 many times that, as far as I was concerned, the 54 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:03.520 best governor in the United States of America, not only 55 00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.919 the best, but the friendliest, easiest to deal with. He's 56 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.319 somebody like you who do not look at people on 57 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:13.560 the other side as bad people, just as people whose 58 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:17.039 ideas you disagree with. And I'm sure that I don't 59 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.120 know who the Democratic nominees nominee is. I believe that 60 00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:24.080 they suspect that one of the members of the delegation, 61 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:28.240 the congressional delegation, will probably be the person you're gonna 62 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:32.319 run against. Let's talk about Scott Brown, and let's talk 63 00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:35.560 about what Scott Brown will bring to the race for 64 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:40.840 the people of New Hampshire. Why should New Hampshire voters say, look, 65 00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:44.360 let's have this guy as one of our two state 66 00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:49.039 senator to us senators, he was a Massachusetts senator. I 67 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.719 think I mentioned to you yesterday. The only other guy 68 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.479 who's been a senator both from Massachusetts in New Hampshire 69 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.280 is Daniel Webster. If I'm not mistaken. 70 00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.400 Yeah, well that's I think we're getting a little ahead 71 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.319 of ourselves. Daniel Webster. I actually had his portrait in 72 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.000 our official residence in the dining room. I have a 73 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.960 great amount of respect for his oratory and legal skills 74 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.120 for sure. But yeah, listen for folks who don't know. 75 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:12.360 I mean. 76 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.080 I was born at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. My dad 77 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:16.879 was an airman at Peas and my mom was in 78 00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:19.680 Portsmouth and they met, they fell in love, they had me, 79 00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:23.199 and we lived in Islington Street and Portsmouth for a 80 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.240 couple of years till my parents got divorced. Then we 81 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:29.079 moved to Wakefield with my grandparents and for that support 82 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.519 that she obviously needed being just a high school graduate. 83 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.720 It's different times back then. You know, the women, you know, 84 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:37.240 they didn't have the opportunities that many women have now. 85 00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.199 So I had an amazing life, and you know, treasure 86 00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.079 every moment I spent there, certainly with my friends and 87 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:45.560 family and raising our girls. But you know I was 88 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.839 always coming back. I mean, my sister's here, my daughter Ariana, 89 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:52.160 the veterinarians here, and my grand two of my grandchildren 90 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:55.160 are here. And it's a different feel. You know that 91 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.959 lived for your diamontality is real. No income tax, no 92 00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.399 sales tax, no bottel bill, carry a gun or not, 93 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:04.920 where a motorcycle, helmet or not. You know, almost a 94 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:08.040 libertarian type of feel, just kind of leave us alone, 95 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.639 will fall the lall. We'll do our best to you know, 96 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.720 be great members of society and and just let us 97 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:18.839 do our thing. And that's being challenged by, quite frankly, 98 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.160 our delegation. As I said in the beginning, you know, 99 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:24.680 they're putting in these onerous regulations, these onerous taxes. They're 100 00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:28.319 they're just saying no, no, no, no, no anything President 101 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.639 Trump's doing, even to save a dollar. You tell me 102 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:34.720 you can't join with them on one thing, really, and 103 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.040 that just doesn't make any sense. I'll just give you 104 00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:40.319 an example on what happened in Iran. Right, I remember 105 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.759 when President Obama, you know, got bin laden. I was 106 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:45.160 in the White House and I said, sir, you got 107 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:49.040 big balls. Congratulations, you know, a great job. And you 108 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:52.160 know he appreciated that honesty and directness, and he was 109 00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:55.439 embraced by both parties doing a job. Well done it. 110 00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:59.040 But he also dropped twenty six thousand bombs on different countries. 111 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.519 President trum Okay basically took away a threat that's not 112 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:08.560 only been killing our citizens and supplying surrogates with deadly weapons, 113 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:12.800 you know, roadside bombs. IED's everything. And and and you 114 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.199 know he does it whether I was it thirty four 115 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.519 missiles and and he they're they're trying to impeach him. 116 00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:22.439 They had an impeachment vote. It's so upside down. And 117 00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.319 then you have most of the Democrats, including the ones 118 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:27.120 in mass they can't say, oh my gosh, what a 119 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.319 great job are our men and women serve with the 120 00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.759 B two bombing pilots and the crews did can't do 121 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:34.959 any of that. And so what's happened to that? Ronald 122 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:38.000 Reagan tipp O'Neil philosophy of you know, Battle of my Day, 123 00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:40.839 based on facts, getting along and figuring it out. It's 124 00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:44.040 just it's totally upside down. Well, I also do better 125 00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:47.319 to answer your question. To answer your question, that's what 126 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:49.800 I can do better, you know, I you know you. 127 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.079 Absolutely did it. And and just talking about the Democratic Party, 128 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:55.000 I don't know. I'm sure you saw what happened in 129 00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:59.480 New York City last night. Yeah, the Democrats nominated a 130 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.240 guy that is so far out of the mainstream. Now, 131 00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:04.399 maybe who get elected in New York, but good luck 132 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:11.040 with that. If New Hampshire Democrats don't recognize what's going 133 00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:14.920 on to the Democratic Party nationally, I mean, they're in 134 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:21.959 disarraceed gun and they're looking for leadership from an avowed socialist. 135 00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:24.199 Did you see some of the comments this guy made 136 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:26.639 in the wake of October seven? 137 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:31.600 Yeah, listen, this is the modern Democratic Party though, and 138 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.360 you know they want to impeach President Trump rather celebrate them, 139 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.959 as I said. And you know that New York City 140 00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.399 there's a lot of people there who live there who 141 00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.279 are now questioning whether they're going to live there because 142 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.480 what are we going to have. We're having Russia type 143 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.480 grocery stores now, and free this and free that. You're 144 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:51.759 going to tax the rich even more. I mean New 145 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:54.800 York is one of the highest tax cities in the world. 146 00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.120 So you know, people are nervous, and you know it's 147 00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:00.680 not over till it's over. But you know, hey, listen, 148 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.240 when you're not working and you're living on the government 149 00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.560 and you have a lot of people there that you know, 150 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:08.199 really just want want to just kind of get free stuff, 151 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:10.160 and they'll vote for somebody like that. 152 00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:12.959 I mean, I think that the next move that this 153 00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:15.800 guy should make there should be free tickets to the Giant. 154 00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:17.519 Well they count do that because they were in New Jersey, 155 00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:20.319 but certainly free tickets to the next the Rangers, the Mets, 156 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:25.480 the Yankees. I think that's the next obvious thing that 157 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:29.920 this guy is going to do. Or maybe every New 158 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:32.600 Yorker should be able for one game to sit in 159 00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:36.039 the Yankee bullpen wearing the Yankee uniform and have his 160 00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:38.320 name on the roster. I think that's fair. I mean, 161 00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:40.799 this guy is a nut job, Scott. 162 00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:42.799 I mean, yeah, well, you know, these are the types 163 00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:47.799 of people that Chris Pappis, who's the congressman, and others 164 00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:50.600 are supporting. I mean, we just said Adam Shiff support 165 00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.639 Chris Pappis. I mean, Adam Shiff of all people, is 166 00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:56.399 like what do you want that you want that orsement. 167 00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:59.919 That is a blessing, That is an absolute blessing. I 168 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.519 hope that Steve Garvey will come up there and endorse you, 169 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.120 because man, a great guy, a great guy. And look 170 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:11.759 at what happened to Seth Moulton when he expressed some concern. 171 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:15.480 You have two daughters who were very athletic and played 172 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.679 in sports. He has a couple of young girls, and 173 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.799 he had the temerity to say that he wasn't looking 174 00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:25.519 forward to seeing his daughters competing on the soccer pitch 175 00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:30.799 or on the basketball court against transgender males, and they 176 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:32.799 were ready to ride him out of town on a rail. 177 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.200 The Democratic Party Seth Moulton. 178 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:38.679 Well, I actually sent him an email supporting him and 179 00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:41.919 said good for you, because he's right. You know, listen, 180 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:45.200 I certainly have been athletic my whole wife. I mean, 181 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.399 just me doing a triathlonics sixty five years old. There's 182 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:50.639 no way another sixty five year old woman is going 183 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.639 to beat me. You know, it's all day and women 184 00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:58.279 and men are made differently. I'm sorry. It's a question 185 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:00.840 of fairness. Even Caitlin Jenner says that it's a question 186 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.879 of fairness and you know you have, you know, men 187 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.879 and boys and women and girls' locker rooms and sports. 188 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:10.960 The crushing the dreams of our young female athletes. And 189 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:15.240 it's just wrong, period. It's no, it's just wrong. You know. 190 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.639 Get your own league happy to support it, you know, 191 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:21.080 but don't crush the dreams of our young ladies who 192 00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:22.279 have been trying for so long. 193 00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:25.399 I have said for a long time that they can 194 00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:28.480 have in a lot of schools. Now, if you don't have, 195 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.080 let's say, I'll be able to pull together a hockey 196 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.519 team or a football team at one school. You can 197 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:36.840 join with some regional schools. They should. They could be 198 00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:40.799 transgender leagues, you know, if they're you know, look, there's 199 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:43.559 there's plenty of options here. Anyway, Scott, I want you 200 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.759 to take some questions from some of my listeners. I 201 00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:48.600 want to give them an opportunity to talk to you. 202 00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:51.360 Anyone up in New Hampshire, if you'd like to talk 203 00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:55.080 to Scott Brown. He will be a very serious candidate 204 00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:58.879 in a very serious race, in a very closely watched race. 205 00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.440 This is what's called an open seat in New Hampshire. 206 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.679 No incumbent running for the seat, and there's probably only 207 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:10.519 three or four seats every Senate election cycle, because it's 208 00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:12.840 only a third of Senators who are up. There's one 209 00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:16.960 hundred senators and they serve six year terms. So every 210 00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:19.720 year about thirty two or thirty three of those senators 211 00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:24.159 stand for reelection. The other two thirds are not up 212 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:27.120 for reelection. This year one of the most important races 213 00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:30.759 in the country is in New Hampshire. Scott Brown, I 214 00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:34.679 suspect is are there any other Republicans who have announced? 215 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:36.919 By the way, Scott, or are you No? 216 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:38.399 I don't know of anybody else. 217 00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:40.320 Is known, and I think they'd be crazy to jump in. 218 00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:42.480 I mean, if they want to waste their time, that's fine, 219 00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:45.639 but we'll be back with Scott Brown six one, seven, two, five, 220 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.919 four ten thirty six one seven, nine three, one ten thirty. 221 00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:52.799 Bring the questions on, particularly New Hampshire listeners. This is 222 00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:56.440 an opportunity for you too. He's gonna he's gonna jump in. 223 00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:59.919 He is in, He's in. Uh. It's it's a Maria. 224 00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:02.759 That's not a sprint. Talking about a year and a 225 00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:07.360 half between now and November of twenty twenty six. But 226 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:10.360 if it ends the way Scott Brown wants, it'll be 227 00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:15.000 Senator Scott Brown with NH after his name, as opposed 228 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:17.799 to m A. Back on night Side right after this 229 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:20.320 with questions and calls for Scott Brown. Six one seven, 230 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:23.440 two five thirty or six one seven, nine three one 231 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:25.559 ten thirty. My name is Dan Ray. This is Nightside, 232 00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:26.279 coming right back. 233 00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:30.480 You're on night Side with Dan Ray on w b Z, 234 00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:32.120 Boston's news radio. 235 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:35.679 All right on with Scott Brown.

Go right ahead, Jerry, or your first 238 00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:43.159 tonight with Scott Brown. 239 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.639 Hey, Dan, faithful listener to night Side. Hello, Senator, I 240 00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:48.600 hope you're doing well. 241 00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:50.960 Yeah, doing well. Thank you. 242 00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:55.159 I hope that you know, number one, you get elected 243 00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:57.720 and you do great things for the Hampshire. But as 244 00:12:57.720 --> 00:12:59.679 you look at you know, I'm here in Massachusetts and 245 00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:03.159 it's your look at the New England Congressional delegation. Other 246 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:07.399 than hurling insults at the President and members of his administration, 247 00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:10.200 that might get some great headlines in the press, but 248 00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:14.039 people are hurting and they want economic opportunity, and not 249 00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:16.279 just in the Hampshire but the whole region of New England. 250 00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:19.519 You know, we have higher ed and life science, and 251 00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:23.919 the defense industry, energy and agriculture. But this congressional delegation 252 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:26.120 that we have now, the makeup of it all Democrats. 253 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:28.559 They don't even have a seat at the table. They 254 00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.759 can't advocate. So my hope is when you get to 255 00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:36.080 d C that you'll be that honest broker that backpartisan, 256 00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:39.840 independent voice and really deliver not just for the Hampshire 257 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.279 but for the entire New England region because people are hurting, 258 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.360 businesses are hurting, and right now New England is just 259 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.120 completely out of step with the rest of the country. 260 00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:51.799 The only people we're in step with is likes of 261 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.039 Gavin Newso and out in California. 262 00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:57.000 Yeah, well, first of all, thank you for calling, and 263 00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:57.759 you know, good points. 264 00:13:57.799 --> 00:13:57.960 Yeah. 265 00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:00.399 I've always been an independent voter and thinker. Is you know, 266 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.720 I read the bills, one of the few ones that 267 00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:04.919 I think actually reads them. I see how they affect 268 00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:06.720 our state, our country, our det and depths in and 269 00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:10.080 vote and as you may or may not know, I mean, 270 00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:12.480 you know, I believe in that. I said it earlier 271 00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:14.679 in the show that tip O'Neil, Ronald Reagan floss. So 272 00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:17.679 you can battle, you can fight, You can do it respectfully, 273 00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:19.840 do it with class, and then you know, grab a 274 00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:21.799 Scotch or a beer and figure it out and then 275 00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:25.000 come back and do the people's business. And you know, yeah, 276 00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:29.000 there's only one federal officeholder that Susan Collins up in 277 00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:31.960 Main and she handles a lot of the issues for 278 00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:36.360 the entire New England area. Yes, I'd certainly like to 279 00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:38.840 be there to help her. And you know, she's one 280 00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:40.840 of the hardest working people that I've ever met. 281 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:41.240 For sure. 282 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:43.919 She has the record for the most consecutive votes during 283 00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:51.120 her term. And yeah, this and the life sciences, obviously aerospace, defense, energy. 284 00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:55.080 There's so many different opportunities in New England, in New 285 00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:58.200 Hampshire in particular. You know, we have needs, we have 286 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:02.519 some great innovation here. We have obviously tourism very similar 287 00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:07.320 to Massachusetts, but we could do better. And the regulations, 288 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:10.919 the lack of becoming energy independent is hurting our citizens 289 00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:14.559 as we want to be paying for those bills in 290 00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:18.080 the wintertime for the high cost of energy. They do 291 00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.639 everything they can to throw up roadblocks so we can't 292 00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:22.960 get the pipelines or the natural gas or oil that 293 00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:25.360 we need. I mean, that's just one thing. And then 294 00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:27.679 you just that the Party of No. You can't tell 295 00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:31.919 me that one elected official can't find and work with 296 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:36.360 the president or his team to find one dollar of savings, 297 00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:39.120 whether it's on any of the social service programs, any 298 00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:41.960 of the entitlement programs, or any of the things that 299 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:44.759 we just kind of scratch our head and say, you 300 00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:47.960 can't join the president on that. Really, you can't thank 301 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:50.840 our b two bombers who did this heroic Like I 302 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:54.279 was reading a brad Thorpe novel, it was incredible. You know, 303 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:56.480 you can't say thank you. You can't stand up for 304 00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:58.480 a kid who has ten surgeries and he wants to 305 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:01.600 be a cop. Really, but you're going to go to 306 00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:05.679 you know, L Salvador and go and get a you know, 307 00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:07.919 get a gang banger out or Venezuela, whatever the heck 308 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.600 he was. You know, it's it's like it's just upside down. 309 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:13.480 So yes, I want to get there. I want to 310 00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:15.519 And that's one of the reasons I'm running. You know, 311 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.879 Dan and Jerry listen, I've had plenty of titles. I've 312 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:22.840 been a you know, a coach, a father, a soldier, 313 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:27.159 a grandfather, an ambassador, senator. I don't need any more titles. 314 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:29.879 Chris Pappus wants a new title. But what I want 315 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:32.480 is a stronger America and I want a stronger New 316 00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:35.559 Hampshire and a stronger New England. So yeah, I'm excited. 317 00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:37.320 If people want to get involved in go to Scott 318 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:41.320 Brown dot com right now. The donation lines and volunteer 319 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.279 lines are open. We've had a very very successful first 320 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:46.360 day and we're going to continue to continue to go on. 321 00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:48.240 So if you want to help, you know, whether I 322 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:50.320 don't care if you're in New England or around the world, 323 00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:52.519 you know, get on the get online and go to 324 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:54.159 Scott Brown dot com. Period. 325 00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:57.039 You know, Scott, the Democrats often love to talk about 326 00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:01.080 public service. I'd love to see the record public service 327 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:04.759 record of your opponents. Not only did you serve as 328 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:07.440 a US Senator and an ambassador, but as you mentioned, 329 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.400 as a member of the military for a long. 330 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:12.839 Time, almost forty years. 331 00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:17.680 Yeah, I mean a long time, and your service your 332 00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:21.160 public service. People can disagree with you politically, but they 333 00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:23.839 have no right to disagree with the amount that you 334 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:26.759 have done and contributed to this country. And I think 335 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.880 that is a very strong suit in this election. The 336 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:32.880 other thing, Jerry, which I want you to know is 337 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:36.079 that when Scott was Ambassador to New Zealand, he was 338 00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:40.400 amongst a group of very select US ambassadors who had 339 00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:43.559 access to information. Just talk a little bit about that 340 00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:53.480 group of five Scott that that's. 341 00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:54.599 US, Great Britain, Australia in New Zealand, US Canada, Great Britain, 342 00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:56.960 Australia and New Zealand. You know what they do is, 343 00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:59.720 you know, we share any and all information regarding trends, 344 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:04.559 human drug and child trafficking. It could be weather events 345 00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.079 that are going to affect you know, obviously the island nations. 346 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:10.160 It could be the terrorist threats that are happening and happen, 347 00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:13.519 cyber attacks, things like that. We had the christ Church massacre, 348 00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:16.000 you know, which you know President Trump was very helpful 349 00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:20.279 in helping get immediate resources there. And you know, because 350 00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:23.000 we had Americans, we had the White Island volcano, which 351 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:26.319 they did a Netflix show about, and then we did 352 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:29.359 trade deals. We pushed back against China every single day. 353 00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:32.160 So yeah, there are plenty of things that we did 354 00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:34.480 and do as a result of that relationship. That's one 355 00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:36.480 of the reasons I chose to go there because I 356 00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:38.640 wanted to be where the action was. I wanted to 357 00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:43.720 push back against China and their expansionism and basically abuse 358 00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:46.440 of those Pacific island nations, and it worked. 359 00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:51.319 Yeah. Again, that's something that should be people should understand 360 00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:54.759 when they're sending somebody to the United States Senate. Experience 361 00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:59.960 matters and public service matters, and also positions on issues 362 00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:02.759 truly does matter because a lot of the votes are 363 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:05.960 just so incredibly close the Senate right now fifty three 364 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:08.960 forty seven. Jerry. I know you're down in the Cape, 365 00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:11.279 but maybe a couple of trips to New Hampshire in 366 00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:15.000 the next year or so might be on your agenda 367 00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:16.119 to help out, Scott Brown. 368 00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:19.319 I've got family and friends, Dan, and they'll be contributing 369 00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:21.440 and helping out. Thanks for the opportunity to speak with 370 00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:22.000 the Senator. 371 00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:24.319 You're right, You're welcome, Jerry. Thank you very much. We 372 00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:27.039 got to take a quick break here. I got some 373 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:29.640 New Hampshire callers on the line, Scott, I'd like to 374 00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:32.680 get more for you, whether they're from New Hampshire or 375 00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:36.359 anywhere else. Anyone who is listening around the country tonight, 376 00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:38.720 if you'd like to speak to former US Senator, former 377 00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:41.920 US Ambassador Scott Brown for those of you who might 378 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:44.640 not realize that he announced this morning that he is 379 00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:49.119 now a candidate for Senate in New Hampshire. If he 380 00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:52.440 has the good fortune to be elected, he'll join a 381 00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:57.359 very select company, Daniel Webster being the only other American 382 00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:00.839 patriot who had served as a senator in both Massachusetts 383 00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:03.279 and New Hampshire. And again, if I'm wrong on that, Scott, 384 00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:05.279 let me know. I believe I'm correct on that one. 385 00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:08.000 I yeah, whatever, it doesn't matter, you know, I know, no, 386 00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:08.799 I know it doesn't. 387 00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:10.799 But it does show that it's been done before. 388 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:14.519 And uhh yeah, listen there, it's been done before, certainly, 389 00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:17.880 and you know, but I am definitely not Daniel Webster. 390 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:21.319 No, I get it, no problem not. You're Scott Brown. 391 00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:25.519 And guess what, every every person, uh is sometimes the 392 00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:28.319 right person for the time. You know, Ronald Reagan was 393 00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:31.039 very much the right person for the time. Scott Brown 394 00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:33.519 is very much the right person for the very kind 395 00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:36.039 We will take a break. Six one, seven, two, five, 396 00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:39.720 four ten thirty six one seven, nine, three, one ten 397 00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:41.640 thirty will be back on night Side. 398 00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:46.759 You're on night Side with Dan Ray on wz Boston's 399 00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:47.440 news radio. 400 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:51.240 Back to the phones, we go for Scott Brown.
