minority leaders perkins quota and simpson, i want you to know that my door is always open. good government knows no party, so let's show the folks that when partisanship is at a fever pitch, we can set a different example. [applause] i know you heard me talk a lot on the campaign trail about massachusetts. and the reason i did is because it is a cautionary tale. look at the out-of-control spending, tax hikes, illegal immigrant crisis, people and businesses leaving in droves. but what is normal today in massachusetts, it was not always that way. year after year, their model of higher taxes and more government has made it harder for small businesses to make -- and families to make ends meet. on the other hand come over that same period, new hampshire has gotten stronger, but only because of our leadership, our policies, and our commitment to taxpayers. to the people of massachusetts, our baystate neighbors, i want you to know that we love that you visit our communities, shop at our businesses, enjoy our great outdoors. to the businesses of massachusetts, we'd love to have you

green suit and, questions whether or not she will be read credible and and it brought me to frances perkins, who is the first female labor secretary in the united states, who is sort of young when she got that job and she said that the men her some of the only women that they respected were their mothers. and so she tried to dress sort of older and more to see if that would make her legible. and so i kind of started to think about that performance was for women in the public eye and what would make us legible or not. that's really so much to think about there. one thing i noticed is in in your your style your narrative style, your speaking directly to your mother and parts of the book and then other parts of the book you're speaking directly to your french agent. what can you talk a little bit about that? truth. that choice. yeah. well, as a writer, as an editor, i'm always curious about who i'm actually speaking to and who the people i'm reading are trying to speak to. and i find when we write to someone in particular, it just adds a visceral ness, an honesty that's hard to get another way

is to be look frans is perkins because she stood for the working people of the united states and she was in line with the labor movement of the united states which is our biggest bulwark against the assault of unfetterred capital. that is what donald trump represents. last night when the president warpbtd us about a coming ollie gar can i. that has been with us a while. to defeat those forces it takes more than infrastructure and i know about infrastructure. i founded and organization that has fed 18 million meals to people home bound with aides. i raised millions of dollars. i know how important the ground game is. but we need an air game. we don't need to convince them that we can do something. we need to answer to the yearning out there. people are afraid of what donald trump is going to do to their lives and they have every right to be afraid and we need to show them every single day this is what the democrats are doing for you today in the house and senate and in your state houses. this is what the democrats are fighting for. this is why what we are fighting for is relevant to y

caller: think [indiscernible] payment to perkins cooley, this was a conspiracy to go after him with allrosecutions, 34 felony counts, lit the penalty be what it is. he realizes there's nothing there. there's not even a crime. they tried to bolster into a felony, which you cannot do. it was a felony crime. your other caller said something about taxes being deducted. this is not a tax case, a state course -- estate court case. this case is going to be reversed. there was no crime here. you could not have wrought this case against the democrat. something has to be done to stop democratic prosecutors from going after republican opponents. they do not want them to be president after january 6. i think they will investigate and look at all the cases they brought against him because it was an effort to run him out of the election. host: eddie is a republican in massachusetts. good morning. caller: good morning. democrats are saying that republicans are killing democracy. i think they are killing it themselves, going back to hillary clinton with fbi, george floyd, he sent a policeman to jail, 1

perkins. but the other thing i have to say in response to the last time was comments was that a lot of trump support is in fact, trump himself said that no word started on on his watch perhaps. but we have to also remind ourselves ourselves that it was mr. trump, that after the reluctance of mr. obama to move after quite me, it was take aways. mr. trump, who, you know, approved a lot of sanctions on restaurant is also mr. trump, who approved the use of those javelin missiles, which made a very, very big difference for ukraine at the start. so he is very, very vested in those, but again, i go back to what i said earlier. i think the, the sentiment now is to concentrate on his own battles domestically and not in, you know, not requires you to get out of state as to intervene and a lot of other conflicts and the more. all right, so stephen, if that is true, and i think you, you, you broadly concur with that at your, of his role is very, very important. and now is the time for them to step up, rig
