And that worked and Business Confidence returned so employment went up and the Unemployment Rate went down and i cut spending because i hate deficit spending and that also helped get confidence from the employers and as we say the government level the best social program anybody ever invented is a job and so thats very rewarding bill you know youre up against it dont you well i know that im up against a president whos very popular among the 50 state republican parties very very popular but the reason why is that those are the trump organizations and each of the 50 states after the election he put in his people. So its not surprising that he should have 99 to one popularity among the trump organizations in the various states i think the challenge for me is to expand the electorate thats going to vote in the republican primaries so ill be concentrating on the 20 states that permit crossover voting where democrats and unaffiliated independent voters can automatically vote in the republican primary and ill be trying to persuade unaffiliated and independents in all 50 states to come vote in the republican primary because if theyre not satisfied with the performance of President Trump they really get to vote against him twice if they want to and you vote for me or any of the other people who may join me in the republican primary is a vote taken right away from mr trump so its its really in a way a vote against trump and then they can vote for whoever they want in the final you reasons is said that donald trump is a rhino a republican in name only lead mean in name only hes on the well i just i want to give him a tickle larry because people call me a rhino busy republican in name only because im prochoice on the question of abortion well that didnt used to be a litmus taste test issue 2 thirds of the Republican Party in New Hampshire to this day is prochoice so im not going to confess error and say im knocked out on that one when i say mr trump is a republican in name only i mean hes not an economic conservative look at these deficits hes added 9 trillion dollars to the deficit already it went up another 800000000000. 00 yesterday he doesnt believe in free trade which is a staple of republican thinking and the International Area i think most republicans always stood for a robust and gauge middle. Around the world at least in terms of soft power and diplomacy and mr trump honestly and i dont think he would be insulted by this hes an isolationist hes the real thing when you ask whats an isolationist he wants to pretend the rest of the world doesnt exist except when somebody or some country may be useful to him for purposes of bullying those are all out of the republican mainstream how do you give them such a big days when you apply the yeah i think he was very entertaining i mean i remember watching the debates in 2016 and jumping up and say wait a minute trump was right about that his style was perfect for a 12 person debate you know he has the back and forth of reality t. V. Frankly ive got it too to a certain extent ive spent a lot of time on the stage ive probably had 20 debates. In governor and senate races and other races so you know i can counterpunch in a debate with the best so if i get in the ring with him it might be might be quite interesting ok lets school leucovorin things. Says one of the economy always facing recessions of one im not some pessimistic as other people are mean i think we may have a dip in the 2nd quarter of next year that would be after the New Hampshire primary so im not putting any eggs in that basket in terms of rooting for recession you know as i say like to see as full employment as we can get i think thats good for social cohesion and everybody feeling good about being an american and i think thats a major responsibility of the president United States you know reagan did it i dont really remember eisenhower but he was famous for doing it and i think mr trump likes to so division among the ranks and said everybody is teeth on edge he thinks that the resentment and fear of others suits. It is political purposes and its kind of the opposite of the way i want to go i actually have some sympathy for all the talk about income inequality i do think the rich are probably a bit too rich and the poor are probably a bit too poor and we should we should take steps to even that out thats not to say everyone has to make the same amount of money just we should even it out a bit in the interest of social social. Unanimity social cohesion getting down to the tough but you call donald trump over raising racist not just earlier races region ways to judge you think this is when the footage denounced no no no and i would not have declared my candidacy for president in 2017 right after he got into office the point i like to make is we know a lot more about down trump now than when he came into office even after that inaugural speech that was very filled with foreboding. But now we know beyond any doubt that hes you know hes a stranger to the truth he tells the head of National Intelligence file a phony document to make this investigation go away he tells his own lawyer you know lawyer about this ambassadors lie about this and when they all said i cant do that that would be a lie or something false he said i dont get it whats your point just go ahead lie about it maybe thatll make the investigation go away thats not what we historically associated with the behavior of a sitting president of the United States. Prison terms as to the American Jewish people who voted for democrats either would have a total Ankle Knowledge will greet disloyalty one of the a make of that one yeah i i dont get that i mean i know theres you know people who are very anti semitic who have said that in the past and he just picked it up from somewhere i think the president has kind of tour red syndrome you know where you blurt out the wrong thing all the time you dont even know you said it why does he say the wrong thing a lot how does he then maintain i dont see his popularity with people still saying oh he can win again oh i think he can win i think he can win i think the reason hes so popular is that people absorbed in the 2016 election that he was politically incorrect and they love that and i love that im about as politically incorrect as it gets and he also you know was running against Hillary Clinton who somehow developed an image as someone who would preach to people if she got elected so he looked kind of refreshing by way of contrast ill tell you i was sent to crash the Democratic Convention in the 16th. Michael which i did and i got trapped inside the big hall there behind locked doors for an hour and a half and i had to watch this parade of identity politics 30 seconds one after the other im a left handed upside down polka dotted Monkey Wrench and so you know i gotta be for Hillary Clinton and so to you it just was not persuasive politics do you frankly have to win New Hampshire. Well my aim is to try to win New Hampshire because its hospitable terrain for me its right next door ive spent a lot of time there ive campaigned for statewide officials ive owned property and helped raise my kids partly in New Hampshire i feel right at home there i mean when they say im a new england republican yeah op guilty as charged im a new england republican and i dont have to explain to people in New Hampshire what that means its also the state whose motto is live free or die and thats kind of my motto as well you will recall larry that at the Republican Convention in 102 when bush 41 was president i gave my political philosophy in one sense i want the government out of your pocketbook and out of your bedroom and that goes down pretty well in New Hampshire so i think you know a good showing like pat buchanan got or Gene Mccarthy got would go a long way towards proving that trump does not have a 97 percent hold on republicans that something much nearer to earth a victory i think might knock him out. What happened he doing already. I give even say nixon to to the Republican Party of the New York Herald tribune yeah i think that mr trump by 1st force of personality has. Hes cultivated his own personality and his own very unusual style to carve out a niche for himself i personally think that if for some reason he disappeared or dropped out or simply isnt reelected in 2020 im one of those who thinks it will be like he was never there because right now weve got a lot of perfectly decent republicans in washington d. C. And i know a lot of these people and worked with them over the years and theyre more than decent theyre very good Public Servants they are keeping their mouths shut they are just whistling past the graveyard maybe all this maybe all this will pass and if he does pass from the scene one way or the other. And by that i mean either failing to get reelected or getting defeated in the primaries for the general. I think youre going to see a return to what Warren Harding would have called normalcy. The minoan wells are against the right they will have more politicking after the break. Rush and. In a world of big partisan new lawyers and conspiracy its time to wait to dig deeper to hit the store. Worries that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now were watching closely watching the hawks. Aeroflot russian and lions. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see you then. Going back to medieval days you had the church which is like the monetarists present day 21st century where they would discuss how many angels can dance on the head of a pin they were in power and they enclosed this little model and now weve got neo feudalism or you guys central bankers discussing how many derivatives can be stuff into a worthless pension fund and weve got folks in San Francisco in newark new jersey die from medieval diseases. Welcome back were talking with bill weld former 2 term governor of massachusetts lands Vice President of the libertarian to give them tories 16 hes now running for the republican president ial nomination and me joins us from boston. Y. D. Is think of the president that dos. On gun control in the area of. A precheck which seems 95 the son of of america is horribly check i dont know the n. R. A. Route yeah i think we got it we cant do nothing about all these Mass Shootings i myself think that the red flag laws that give coworkers or a Family Member the right to petition a judge to get the gun away from someone who they think is dangerous but subject to the judges approval so due process i think thats the way to go i dont think universal background checks and registration of firearms i dont think thats the way to go and ill tell you why partly because of exposure to libertarian views i see a selfdefense aspect in ownership of firearms so the last thing i want is the federal government to license everybodys firearm and have them have to come in and show their shotgun or rifle to the police chief every year because after a couple years the guys going to say see you later and theyre going to say your gun is staying with us and if you look down through history thats a recipe for the government taking away the guns like in germany in russia in uganda and so many examples not only in the 20th century but back through history since the invention of gunpowder and it can be a complete disaster and frankly i think thats one reason why the 2nd amendment is in our constitution did you support the democratic nominee. You know im not im trying not to think about the democrats i know a bunch of them personally theyre perfectly nice people obviously i dont subscribe to a lot of the stuff on the democratic side like guaranteeing everyone a basic income irrespective of whether theyre willing to work which is quote unquote in the green new deal. So and everything being free and no such thing as creating jobs in the Public Sector they all come from the government where does that stuff come from and i hope none of those people think they are going to get elected president in the United States of america because theyre not this is a right of Center Country not far right but its definitely not a not a way left country flow im told and republican congressman joe walsh says that trump is an unfit con man and he apologizes for the role he played in putting him in the white house he also says that the republicans dont stand up to the president right now theyre going to get wiped out in 2020 years that you buy that oh ive said exactly the same thing when when mr trump was being such a racist i said look the elected republicans in washington have a decision to make and they think its a political decision but its not a political decision its a marvel decision and unless they express fully disavow mr trumps outrageous racism they are going to get decimated in the 2020 elections and i wanted them to hear that loud and clear and i really welcome representative joe walsh getting into this race i hope that my old friend mark sanford will get in the race as well my old friend john k. Sic i understand that former senator jeff flake who i think the world of love his book conscience of a conservative i understand that hes you know having a lot of well wishers these weeks and i think would be great. If he got in ill tell you one reason why if theres 5 of us and not one of us the networks cant very well say well were not going to have republican primary debates were only going to have democratic primary debates id like to see anybody try to make that position stick so i hope these guys get it and then i think at least a couple of more on the point of getting in right now right now the networks saying its just you and trump theyre not going to run debates well mr trump has said hes not going to hes not going to debate bill weld or anybody else so i think that would include even if its all busy 5 of us hes going to say hes not going to debate he doesnt want to have an election and he makes no bones about that they tried to stop the 1st in the nation primary in New Hampshire they actually proposed that trump and his people propose that lets not have this 1st in the nation primary you can imagine how that went over in New Hampshire like a lead balloon because people in their hands arent stupid they know that about 25 percent of their National Clout comes from having the 1st of the nation primary so now mr trump is fall into his 1st fallback position he was up in New Hampshire on the 15th for a rally and he said well i guess you can have your primary but you dont have any choice you have to vote for me and if you you know he he says hes joking when he says wouldnt it be great if we didnt have election didnt have to have elections at the same time you know the Republican National committee which is joined with his campaign is trying to get people not to have primaries not even the have caucuses just abba boat or the state committee. And you know theres some precedent for that occasionally but not organized on the National Level so i i dont think mr trump wants to mix it up with anybody thats why he has one word slogans like hoax and wall so he doesnt really have to discuss anything frankly is Knowledge Base is a little shallow to get deeply into a debate you use 70 Something Like god right i am and so is donald trump who sews joe biden and Bernie Sanders and mr mcconnell. The is there were a generational shift in american policy by the way and lolos all the 70 you look the best oh great well thats terrific. Im actually tied im tied with mr trump for being the youngest of those efforts. Do you do we have a generational shift in american politics sure i mean i cant get enough of talking to pete but a judge by the way hes a real long cool drink of water hes 37 years old. And you know hes a very impressive guy very very smart guy and measured old beyond his years but its wonderful having people like him involved involved in the mix at the same time i dont think i would you know kick everyone over 70 out of out of the mix you know 70 is it may not be the new 50 but its the new 60 and people wouldnt have thought twice about 60 in the old days to this. Little bit about bringing up the tech giants many believe that that should happen and youre a lawyer form a hill staffer a form of government you know how the Government Works how could government break up the tech giants well they could break them up with any trust cases but i dont favor that i think putting the government in charge of all that and having them make the decisions i honestly would rather have the market make those decisions now if the tech giants are engaging in predatory behavior on consumers and violating their privacy in ways that violate either federal trade Commission Rules or any trust rules thats different thats an unforced meant measure but its not setting out to break decide whether you know this tech giant should be in 5 pieces and that tech giant should be in 3 pieces i frankly doubt the government has the the information and understanding. To to do that successfully id rather rely on the internet as it is than let the governments nose into the tent using this as a media the general media bias against conservatives. Well certainly not on fox news i think the media is a lot closer to hewing a Straight Line a centrist line than most other people think you know me i came up as a corruption prosecutor so i always viewed the press as my allies because we all want to tear down the temple walls we wanted more information to expose socalled victimless crimes like like public corruption which happens behind closed doors so ive always liked the media and you know when i hear President Trump say a free press is the enemy of the people i just think i gotta get that guy out of there thats not the 1st amendment thats not the United States you know it is kind of income the question about your home state of massachusetts fairly 8 year old representative joes kinley the 3rd reportedly is winning a primary call a challenge to so many 3 year old incumbent markey bill democrats of course what do you make of that well i know them both i like them both but you talk about a new generation joe kennedy is in that new generation i think he should make the race ive known him you know practically since the day he was born ive seen him grow up hes got good judgment hes not a wild lied wild eyed lefty at all so id like to see him you know have a shot at it doesnt mean necessarily wins but ed markey is certainly had a distinguished career not taking anything away from him but id love to see joe kennedy in that race if we knew him well is not the republican nominee. What do you intend to do. I might sit it out larry you know im not going to go picky choosy among democrats its just too far away and i got enough on my hands on the republican side but i have said that i would not on any account support mr trump in the final i just think hes he doesnt know how to run a railroad as a result of which no one has confidence in us or our word as a nation around the world we just we we cant have that and he is beset by fears and demons and thats why you see these wild swerves and swings in his his behavior and you know i wish him well on his return to the private sector and i dont think hes going to have any trouble making a lot of money when he gets back there but i dont see him as president of United States how well financed you. Probably medium now but the thing about winning the New Hampshire primary is it requires maybe 10000000. 00 in advertising it doesnt require 50000000. 00 or 100000000. 00 and that will be well within grasp i suppose and you win New Hampshire what does that do everything. Well i think youd see a stampede of other people coming in but i will tell you this im not going to be you know roll over and play dead just because someone with a better name recognition than i have gets into the race not if theyve been introducing down trump for the previous 2 years as the greatest thing since sliced bread and the most consummate wonderful politician in america because if they have been im going to play those tapes back and i wont need to put too much money behind those tapes in terms of 32nd ads bill always great talking to you good like you so much larry great governor william weld we thank him for his time today and we thank you for joining us on this edition of politics they are a number you can join the conversation on my face will they age or tweet me at kings things and dont forget to use the policy and thats all for this edition of politicking. Terrorists in russia and like this. In a world of big partisan. Lot and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching top.

Oh why a paradise with some all year round turned into a round the experimentation field for agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants theres no question otherwise why would that the Chemical Company workers themselves be geared up and suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but often in day you have many of these people who have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of Environmental Research going on in hawaii whether these Companies Feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power.
