10/27/09: Congressman Mike Capuano

" Listen to -- brother and Margery Eagan --"

" Now -- another count in weapons -- my congressman was standing on the stage last night here's one of those things he had to say."

" is a hot and being a senator that is can only be done if you understand how to work in Washington. If you wanna talk about other issues if you think you can get them change Washington like this god bless you good luck."

" Spanish congressman mica capital of them is now joining us on the phone thank you for being with -- congressman. They're so I thought he did bang up job debating last night kinds of capital wanted to jump -- gloves that you are an angry man you angry man."

" About something very calm angry about inequality and angry about people talk about pieces that are important of the day. You know at the same time I think you need to show little passion in the world. Two at first will be to eat well and the law to let people know that. You really do care what these issues these are important things were talking about."

" You know my -- as a moment I hope this changes and and Martha -- a few minutes she will agree to future televised debates but there are any yet as -- last -- you went in knowing this is the only televised debate that's been agreed to earlier you would made controversial comments about Martha -- timid cautious all these sort of things why did you decide last night. To basically just present who you were. And not talk about why she was not. The best candidate for the job I was actually stunned by the strategy."

" Well actually I navigated a mock Coakley and idiotic candidates well a cautious Amanda. And I should I mean Jamie Reno has come -- That's relevant -- You know number one number two and a -- the only debate I know that that's -- wanted to get some of the opponents have agreed to. I have agreed to every debate that it -- And I presume that the media will not let. Somebody get away with being United States senator while running to actually China without agreeing to a simple one debates so I never thought -- oh yeah."

" You know congressman clearly when he -- last night the is it you with a guy who's been on the ground in Washington you know how things work you know how you weigh around. A Capitol Hill the Martha Coakley just -- to give her compliments of several. That was one of the -- last big points and he was the -- summit of running to be a congressman so why do you manage to do quite well in congress why can't studies of the people who are coming. As you once did from outside Capitol Hill. "

" Well first line of -- said the debt that they couldn't I think they can't -- the question is who can do the best and and the fastest Tekzilla when I was running for congress no one else congressional inside. The question is Wikipedia a look at the fielder trot out -- congress nobody else had any experience so that I was had no advantage or disadvantage and that issue. And when Martha Coakley ran predictably it's pretty. She leaned against two opponents on the basis on the whole basis of experience she situated -- prosecuted and they weren't in its current -- campaign was wrapped around that. So why wouldn't change it is important for that job but not that this job."

" Now it might have thought we'd misquoted you twice in two minutes we're going fraud and 500 our best. The best we possibly can hear things at least there was actually last night even though you didn't explain and not sure the viewers know it is talk -- sixty votes sixty votes -- sixty votes based on this procedural thing reconciliation. You make a point that's correct 51 votes which the Democrats in the Senate clearly have the can carry this thing -- Don't you worry that if it's the only democratic vote yes it it. Implements Obama care whatever incarnation but -- mid term elections real likely to lose seats the Democrats are in you you pass it. But you're very likely to lose it's sort of like Dukakis that with -- health care what twenty years ago and masters is doesn't worry."

" The preference the preferences they have the -- people possible be part pots and as clearly the -- The question is do we do we -- threw twenty more years of bad health care and ordered it to get. We'll look at the altar to like it'll be ultra bipartisanship. My argument is they didn't look so security they didn't vote for Medicare they need to look at the WP eight. I don't think we should do I do think that the the preferred approach of course is to be bipartisan. But if a judge refused to be bi partisan world so be it we have to do minerals."

" and you clearly -- for these so called robust public option -- lot of of fear about this among the general public. Persuade people that -- not be afraid of here."

" Well how I think they should be legitimate concern that this is a major change in -- not totally but it but it shouldn't be interest in the concerns but he."

" At the same time it's neat to actually -- into what made against Medicare and Medicaid. Did all the simple like social administered what we have to cool public health options right now called Medicare -- call try to get for a veteran tight and I challenge anyone to find anybody on those -- programs it would like deeper and I -- con anybody but if they can work -- they -- work and public option but again -- is an option that is not a requirement. People be allowed to have their own health care if they don't -- sound and I think that's all anybody really that he."

" But the -- gonna lose our health -- if there's public option that that company's well funded anymore won't pay Harvard pilgrim the crosses senate because the public options can be cheaper and we'll lose some."

" Well I just I just don't think I think that's the case and -- number two -- to -- and hopefully the idea agreed to but I competition. So the private companies and be able holdout cost. That's a whole concept. And public option which provide legitimate reasonable thoughtful cup petition."

" Mike W at an airport. Well then let's ask you the question -- we ask your college younger fellow candidate. Everybody knows that these guys weren't sleeping some people thought they were having sex this morning this there was not. Toss -- insightful guy over the two and that we want the unexploded version. To what to over the two pilots doin'."

" I haven't got a -- silent now. All -- and I have no idea and I really don't. Yeah that'll tell you one thing spirited severe significant and rapid. On punishment issue lot and it will be major problem but it."

" I think it will be."

" I hope that's case -- There's a capital on your time thank you very much intellect in the campaign."

" Thanks for downloading and listening to Jim and Marjorie. Come back -- might -- 69 WTKK. Is fun line and on demand."
