" Listen to your brother and Margery Eagan minus six."

" I'm not running for mayor of Brookline Weston in Brookline. I'm running for mayor of Boston. In -- barometer I uses 24000 kids have dropped out of Boston Public Schools let's ask ourselves are they working. To they have an education of a passer rated comedy in the dead in nominee and have killed their own that now it's in the Boston Public Schools. That's -- I'm fighting for."

" I was Michael hardy last night. Debate panel won't care. Carried exclusively only -- already -- to be can get it is on 969 or Michelle McPhee was one of the panelists it's when we -- those screens before and what were they have a ton of -- but most relevant so for -- says the screens are Boston's citizens. Thinking about another -- term I don't know. That is incorrect. Though they had may actually believe."

" We join the -- right now by the gentleman who would like to see Tom Menino notched -- another term as mayor. Of the city of Boston City Council Michael citing how Michael thanks for joining."

" good morning Jim got a -- this is what's wrong what's spaghetti."

" As Martha -- not a totally -- did you human -- kid."

" The next mayor -- and grew up on videos inch display ads B and also paid them in college."

" Yet now I think irishman I'm Irish I think -- is an Irish thing we were Italians growth in the pasta sauce and get stuck. With the Kansas -- instantly."

" I think it was more backcourt because -- and Padilla coming in from school going out to hockey or soccer baseball and a quick and easy to eat them up."

" Like I don't criticize a couple days before election but the other day when you do in the press comes with -- union yet that orange gravy dripping down your lapel. Doesn't look Merrill trust --"

" I it was a great debate last a very spirited debate last night. The polls say at least Boston Globe posted as a twenty point did she -- in America you have internal policy that you claim to raise as much time it was going on there."

" Actually means that that that post flawed and a number of reasons that. Witness has been a single digit rates for about two weeks now and from the forms that would add whether it was channel five debate whether it was the the globe doing a cable news debate or. That W. -- sponsored in -- so that children happened to those -- June and found such stark differences and either candidate strong case forward Larry administration will look like the most definitely won't look anything like the first day of the year seventeen -- you know. It'll be completely different than we have a plan to solve a lot of these problems. It continues to stated he wants to keep moving people. He's he's out like no plan and to do that and -- I'm excited again to be in this race and the local union."

" You Michael we played a sound -- from you about fifteen minutes ago saying of don't dramatically improve the schools and foreigners and knocked around again obviously -- off with the mayor said a decade or so ago but Menino is response in every forum I've heard is this underperforming schools that this excuse all the time. He says the inner city schools particularly in Boston or loaded with special needs kids non English speaking kids etc. and he's right is the it's a huge additional burden on places that are the center of the universe like Boston --"

" like history it -- want to get lowering people's expectations. And also he also says that but he doesn't discriminate that he takes all kids know kittens on. You know you'd -- that's a lot. So we have to educate all these children. So despite saying throwing up onions and admitting it will have English language learning issues nor has been issues that have lower performing schools is unacceptable we need to set the bar. A lot higher than that that the bar traits from from -- he mentioned that it'll calculate should be the flaw. Whereas right now. There were scaling and it speaks directly to that we have a responsibility. On the most important fundamental obligation of government that the education about children."

" In every other urban districts have to do the same thing -- it actually performing better shot is -- I -- in the course there has been in Brockton."

" that you need to be performing better they also have to take. You know all the children of those principality. I disagree with it."

" Like we're stuck music Catholic authorities run against Tonya from man city Boston. You have the endorsement of five friends union in Boston traditionally that has been a great boon to a guy that's running for office but. Almost every time they've opened the paper last six months the firefighters. And just this week had been in trouble for these alleged forty disability pensions and a lot of disability fraud I wanna do it whip whip which taxpayers the city are upset about this whether the firefighters. This time around her -- or help --"

" Drooling at the personal particularly in the Senate voted at that I'll be you know I'm I'm gonna be tough I'll be fair but firm because it's gonna be in Egypt taxpayer is -- first."

" But they also need to be educated -- Tom Menino has had sixteen years."

" To bring about reform and the -- of -- apartment in he has failed. Deal truly port which is a taxpayer funded outlined taxpayer from the commission put an outline several I think that 66 areas -- want. He's yet to enforce one of the areas or want including."

" Mandatory random drug and alcohol potential while he's presided as mayor for sixteen years he cannot point to one contract. In the city."

" Where he is negotiated mandatory random drug and about that think that will change and acquired administration mandatory random drug and alcohol testing will be condition of employment. Not just -- the fire department brought Oprah for also the police EMS and anyone operate heavy equipment."

" But -- Larry on that front last night and how many has called the globe today as they wanna get paid to take the test meaning drug now call is that fair it's not fair and the -- says you refused to answer that you said just what you just said but the gloves as you refused to answer the question as to whether or not additional pay would be. Part of the deal that may or flirting make with the firefighters is terrorism."

" Yeah -- another misrepresentation. Keywords agent. Condition of employment. Not to be -- five a police officer amnesty will be mandatory -- and I don't gonna be paid to be drug tested under flattered administration. It will be a condition of employment. Question my needing more clear I'm not quite sure what the -- would interpret it any other way other than that made it like five cited these."

" Okay Michael clarity I hit good luck in the campaign like -- fine thank you very much for joining us to."

" I appreciate appreciate your interest in what is that we get that fixed they've got the -- look to keep talking and and let folks know that there are stark differences between. Myself and you know -- a -- a 54 year term of maybe you know trying to change."

" At the red apple on Michael can be pretty busy over the next six days actually. Thank you very much for joining -- thing."
