and that's what scott brown did so well in this election. i'll also add quickly, larry, that the circling firing squad as begun with national republicans accusing martha coakley of running a terrible campaign, and them shouting back with them having a terrible mood. >> larry: john king, we'll check in with you later, but ms. coakley was not the strongest of candidates, was she? >> no, she was not the strongest candidate but she was also running against the republicans. the democrats and other key races across the country are going to look at these results, and you already see a lot of statements from democrats saying, we can't sugar coat this, we better learn a lesson. how will that affect health care? how will that affect the president's budget, spending, tax policy? some big drama to see play out in washington because of what happened in massachusetts. >> larry: thanks, john king. those were our reporters, and now let's go to our analysts. ari fleischer served as white house press secretary for president george w. bush. she's in stanford,

host: in his victory last night, scott brown said he won the vote -- scott brown won the vote of independents. "boston globe" headline says the obama health care plan is in peril. harry reid, the majority leader, is vowing to see scott brown as soon as the proper paperwork has been received. that is the way he put it. senator jim webb, a democrat from virginia, is urging, actually, that "we postpone any health care vote until after scott brown is sworn in." and republic has taken ted kennedy's senate seat. democrats, call 202-737-0002, republicans, 202-737-0001. if you are an independent, call 202-628-0205. some of the other headlines on the front page here say, frustration with the status quo fuels emotions and turnout. a rebellious air sweeps even kennedy turf, a story from hyannisport there. scott brown 1, 51.9% of the vote. martha coakley, 47.1%. and joe kennedy won that one percent -- that 1%. that is from "the boston globe." if you look at the "boston herald," their right that a revolution begins. it was the second time in massachusetts history, the shot heard round the world from coast

guest: will scott brown become reliably republican votes?connell can count on? he is not quite as conservative as some people think it, because of the wave of anger against health care. key is effectively prot -- is pro-choice. guest: i am delighted to have any republican senator. i think on the issues he campaigned on, there is broad support, not only across massachusetts but the country and within the republican party for strong national security, a strong fiscal responsibility, and one that says that we do not want and list spending which is going to hang around the necks of our children and grandchildren. those are very solid, republican center-right issues. i think there are going to be issues that people differ on, and he will have to vote his conscience and his own state. that is to be expected. that is part of the difficulty of being the leader, counting of votes in figuring out on what discrete issues, is my caucus going to come down on? it remains to be seen exactly how he will glow. i think you will both the interests of the peopl

let's see scott brown. let's see the republican party. >> larry: andy, how would you respond to those points. >> first of all, the hyperbole rather than reality. i think president obama will face a very difficult challenge within his own party, and he's not shown strong resolve to the american people, and therefore there's not a lot of people in his own party ready to follow him. so i think he has real challenges in the leadership in house and senate have real challenges. it's hard to get the votes. i helped a president try to get the votes in kank. it will not be easy. you can't get noticing done if you don't get the votes from congress. >> larry: he's not a dictator, notwithstanding what some of the tea partiers want to call him. i think that all of those pointses are absolutely right. again, i'm going to strongly second him on this. there's no way that having -- i mean, we're having this conversation on a little by of a vacuum and a little bit of an ahistorical way. to suggest that the democrats in congr

scott wood now with four three-pointers here in the game tonight.eshman from marion indiana. he's been playing well late so my uncle calls and he says he's dizzy and he's losing his balance. so, i'm like, "unc, you want me to take you to a doctor?" he's like, "nah--i'm going to look up the symptoms." i said your symptoms are, you're dizzy and you're losing your balance. so he says, "i can't get on the internet because my arm is numb." i said, "well, use your good arm and dial 911!" comedian: stroke's no joke. if you or someone you love is showing symptoms of stroke don't wait 'cause it might be too late. dial 911. time lost is brain lost. this financial advisor is being accused of committing one of the largest investment frauds in the history of the united states. guess we're not going to aspen. that's fine. you see, i like tennis balls. he likes insider trading. so he's going to jail and i'm going to a shelter. and no, they're not the same thing. shelters are for good pets that want to be adopted. jails are for criminals. i've done nothing--uh-oh.

you don't hear it a lot but scott brown is a pro-choice republican. and fiscal conserve tifr, and liberal libertarian. that is where the message is it. got to get the message in washington. the rare of play to the place to the base plx is over. >> larry: we're back. is john avalon right? >> john avalon has emerged as one of the leading voices of his generation. i respect that. but i do disagree about his analysis of scott brown. he was embraced on the conservatives. he did say she was for row v. wade. he's very much against gay marriage and against other things. he was a right to life candidate in this election. he was always against deficit spending. he was against the health care bill. but to go back to the question you put to mary matlin, scott brown took off in december, and in large part when he began campaigning, he nationalized the race. and when he did that, along with his populism and authenticity, he reminds me of sarah palin in some ways. he is real and for the people. that combination of nationalizing the race and the personality really dr

go, scott brown!>> massachusetts does not want the trillion dollar obama health care that being forced on american people. as the 41st senator i will make sure we do it better. >> brown: joining me now from boston is fred tice, political reporter for public radio station wbur. fred, outside the state massachusetts, of course, has a reputation as a strongly liberal and democratic place. how much of a surprise is this there? >> it's a huge shock here. a month ago no one would have predicted that scott brown would be so close to perhaps winning this election tomorrow. >> brown: where is the flurry of support for scott brown coming from? tell us a little bit more about his supporters and what issues are really hitting him? >> i spent some time, i've been spending a lot of time going around with both candidates. what i notice at the scott brown rallies is there are people who are just curious. there are people who have been turned off by the negative advertising they see as coming from the democratic side.

isabel is sitting next to scott wright -- scott's right. she has worked in afghanistan at back in 2005 as a political adviser and knows quite a lot -- knows quite a lot about the afghanistan elections. to my left is a grant kippen. he was the chairman of the ecc both in 2005 and this past year in 2009. but scott and grant were at the center of this maelstrom last year, so please be quite pointed with your questions and try to get information on what was happening behind the scenes. these guys were really at the center of what was going on and what was paid -- and extremely difficult period in afghanistan. scott, if you want to start. >> we will switch the order. >> grant, take it away. >> thank you very much. i thought -- scott and i had a little discussion last night about how we would go forward with this discussion this morning. i what i would like to do is lead off with a little bit of an introduction to the ecc. as many of you know, of the two electoral bodies in afghanistan , the ecc is a temporary body and it is only in existence for

scott brown was a pro choice republican. independents swung toward him because he's consistent with what they generally believe. socially liberal to libertarian. that's where young voters are. that's the message being sent tonight. folks got to get the message in washington. the era of play to the base politics is over. >> larry: we'll get when it comes to things you care about, leave nothing to chance travelers. insurance for auto, home and business. >>> the number one thing i heard is that people are tired of business as usual. >> what happened here in massachusetts can happen all over america. >> larry: we're back. david, is john avalon right? >> well, john has emerged as one of the leading voices of his generation. so i respect that. but i do disagree about his analysis about scott brown. he was embraced by the social conservatives. he did not necessarily embrace their full agenda. he did say he was for roe v. wade, but he wants to put a lot of restrictions on the way abortions are done. he's against gay marriage. he was

scott brown is winning that race right now.ith a very strong indicator of white coakley got herself into this problem. host: this reporter says amidst the ceaseless campaign commercials at the brown campaign is managed with overriding cheerfulness. coakley by contrast is attacking so relentlessly that they risked undermining her own support. at what point do negative ads hurt yourself? guest: there is always a fine line. you are trying to define yourself and your bottom. you generally define your point with mostly negative that spring and she is obviously running from behind a little. but i think enthusiasm is ginger. the democratic machine is turning itself arm. he got the benefit. when you are behind you can go one of two boys. you can go-to catch up, or stay positive. clearly he has done some very smart things. he has done a good job of positioning himself and tapping into the anchor people feel -- anger people feel. as democrats we are the party in power, the establishment, whether or not that is a fair moniker. i think we

the same thing that swept scott brown into office swept me into office. people are angry and they are frustrated. >> ifill: the election results must be certified by the massachusetts secretary of state, and then approved by the governor. that process could take two weeks, but brown said he hopes they expedite the paperwork, and he plans to make courtesy calls in washington thursday. >> since the election is not in doubt, i am hopeful that the senate will seat me on the basis of those unofficial returns. >> ifill: the shakeup in the senate also leaves question marks over the rest of the president's agenda-- from climate change to financial regulation. >> ifill: one senate race with so many implications. here to help us sort through them all are jennifer nassour, chair of the massachusetts republican party. amy walter, editor-in-chief of the hotline, "national journal's" political daily. and ceci connolly, national health policy reporter for "the washington post." jennifer nassour, we just heard the president say people are angry in the same way that swept

scott suggs reaps the benefit. >> steve: scott suggs, a young man out of washington, missouri. when lorenzo romar was a coach at st. louis, scott met him at the age of 11 at a family function and said, coach, i want to play for you. well, romar kept his eye on him, watched him grow up in missouri, and did recruit him. now he's contributing to the huskies. and pondexter comes out with a 2 25-point, five-rebound night. >> marques: back to back superb performances by quincy pondexter, who was a bit down in arizona in two losses. >> steve: patrick christopher, just one shy of his personal best, scored 29 against usc last year. thomas throws it away. seeley, nice play. >> marques: that's one thing he's got to guard against. you still have the 23-point lead at this stage of the game. you still want your team to play with the sharpness and crispness, the attitude they played with to gain that lead. little bit of a letdown with some of the plays by isaiah thomas out here. >> steve: it's the little details that carry on for the next couple of games because they go on the road to ucla an

caller: i am certainly voting for scott brown.ave to do this as unenr olled, as the college, and i believe this will be the shot heard around the world one more time for massachusetts. i am so proud to be from massachusetts because we have been an laughingstock which the amount of democrats that we have brought to congress and to our own legislature. it is about time we stand up and we say, we don't want it to be a kennedy seeks, as mr. brown has said over and over again, this is the people's seat. and because we have been taking for granted for so many years in this state, i believe that finally the people have said, enough of this. we need to go forward. and if forward means we have to change -- and that it that terminology because both our governor and the president ran on it and both have failed this state, our common wealth, and the country miserably. please, if you are unenrolled, or whatever denomination of voter, please go out and vote and make sure massachusetts one more time leads the country. host: 10 i ask you, have yo

in a moment we'll bring you scott brown's victory speech. but first, here's his opponent, democrat martha coakley. [applause] >> thank you! i don't know. somebody told me there was a crowd out there. thank you. thank you. i want you to know that i just got off the phone with scott brown. i've offered him my congratulations and my best wishes on his victory tonight. and i wish to him and gail and to his two daughters -- and i told him mr. brown, you've got two lovely daughters, which he does. and he also extended his good wishes to me. so i wish we were here with other and better news tonight, but we are not. and i want to take this moment, first of all, for all of you in this room and those of you who are probably still out working. you poured your hearts and souls into this campaign. there are thousands of you, literally. we had thousands of people out on the streets since september. i want to say an incredibly sincere thank you for everything that you did. obviously not just for me but for the campaign and what we stood for in this campaig

scott brown. by some pickup trucks don't let a few flurries bother them whether brown wins or loses. he wrote earlier the lesson is clear the people are mad as hell and they aren't going to take it anymore. he says the party is over for obama and company. bruce is joining from chicopee massachusetts. what happened in your state today, are you surprised by the returns ready to expect this to happen? >> caller: i live in a complex where it is mostly elderly and disabled, and everyone here that all i know what was going to vote for scott brown because they were worried about health care and what not. and it's said, as massachusetts says so goes the nation. i believe in the midterm elections the republicans are going to take back the majority at least in the house because people are tired of spending, spending, spending in government. and as ronald reagan said, one of the biggest problems is government itself. >> host: thanks for the call, bruce. the story from "the washington post" again, we read ear

credit scott king. -- per wescott kaine. -- coretta scott king.he wanted to make sure that this bill passed. she became the public face of advocacy. she was well respected, well- loved, and for her to publicly lobby for this bill -- that was the key factor. she made phone calls to senators, congressmember's, and to the president. advocacy groups. in 1971, sclc leaders came to washington in addition of 3 million signatures asking that the bill be passed. a number of trade unions, labor unions throughout the country took this on as their cause and they began to collect signatures to pass legislation and they were very involved in the state legislators getting the state to pass holiday bills before we got a federal bill. the advocacy groups brought buses to washington. they wanted to have a public demonstration around the passage of the bills. advocacy groups sponsored petition drives around the country. 6 million signatures were delivered to congress and it is noted this is the most number of signatures ever received on a piece of legislation. stevi

scott wood is attempting to eat, that's right, 5,000 calories a day.ades a day. he's trying to put away bagels with peanut butter, eggs, water. he's trying to add strength so they can increase his scoring ability for nc state, and guys, he's coming off a career 15 in the last game. >> bob: 15 pounds or pounds? you know, if scott would just eat what i eat, he would haven't to go through all that. >> larry: if he had your body metabolism, it would be no problem. florida continues with their woes in shooting. >> bob: and boynton struggling perhaps the most of any. another crack at it for the gators. walker backs it out and sets something up. >> larry: great effort by murphy that time. he had some difficulty trying to get there. >> bob: the fake and fire. the gators looking for that first three-pointer. c.j. williams. >> larry: they are next to last in three-point shooting among the eastern conference teams. they're defending the three really well. second in the nation. they really struggled with their outside shooting. particularly the two guards. >> bob:

i am going to be a scott brown republican. maybe there is a new breed of republican coming to washington, not beholden to the special interest of the party, who will look to solve problems that. i have always been that way. i supported clean elections, i supported term limits, i believe strongly that we are there to serve the people. we're there to do a job. i like many others throughout the country -- when we are talking about what so-and-so's said in his book and what so- and-so's said here, my response is, who cares? we have terrorist trying to blow up our planes and kill our families and shopping malls. we have people dying in afghanistan and our soldiers trying to make sure that we get the job finished there. we have very serious economic problems. i like many of you say, what is up with that? we need -- we need to make sure that we solve the problems. if i can bring that type of message to washington and create that dialogue that brings us back to the basics, i am all for it. did you have a question? >> barack obama, at

scott wood has been the leader in that.o, and he's handled the ball well. >> bob: and the one guy who you think is going to shoot a ton of threes is dennis horner. he's over 50% for the year. he does not have a home run shot yet in this game. 46-45. 6:30 to play. first of our acc sunday night hoops doubleheader. xavier and wake next. gonzalez. good anticipation and coverage by tyus. 125 on t 15 on the shot clock. >> larry: tyus got on that baseline, he had nowhere to go with the basketball. he has to be able to find and get out of those situations. >> larry: smith with all kinds of gators digging at him. they jar the ball loose, and florida's running five on four. werner almost took his jersey off. >> bob: 11 gator steals. werner for three. >> larry: they get another chance. >> bob: and now roger ayers stops the game for an injured player. dennis horn er, trying to get t his feet. just rolled that ankle. and limping back to the bench. see if we can see it here. >> larry: here's werner trying to get around that screen. he st

caller: scott brown. host: why is that? caller: i served four years and the military and is obama care plan is that control and so was the closing of gtmo. host: how old are you? caller: 28. host: are you familiar with one republican was in control of congress -- i wanted to get to the previous caller who was this critical of republicans when they were in control of congress saying they spent too much uncritical of the medicaid bill that passed. are you familiar -- are you having any concerns about electing a republican? caller: no, not at all because -- you know, like obama says, it is time for change. he is not changing anything. we are getting more and more debt with him in office. host: rapid city, south dakota, linda on the republican line. caller: i would like to get a message to the people of massachusetts from the rest of us out here -- please vote scott brown into office and remember, you are not voting republican and to the senate, what you are doing is helping the rest of us tell this government that you are out

made a special trip to go to massachusetts said that he could vote for scott brown. this was in many ways a national referendum presently on the major issue we are wrestling with in the congress, whether or not the government should take over 1/6 of our economy, slash medicare by $500 billion, raise taxes by $500 billion, and drive up interest rates for the rest of the country. i think we heard a large resounding message yesterday's if not the most liberal state in america. the people of massachusetts spoke loudly and. one concerned and number of you had about the outcome of this election would be whether the new center would be seated sen. i'm convinced now that no gamesmanship will be played by the other side with regard to future votes in the senate. jim webb of virginia has made it clear he will not participate in any additional health care votes prior to senator brown being sworn in. and i noticed that elected officials in massachusetts who were principally responsible for certifying the election after early innings -- earlier saying it would take up to two week

. >>> hello, i am don scott. >> i am mary bubala. >> here's what people are talking about. the windy and cold weather in maryland and across the country. take a live look outside right now. cloudy and very chilly this noontime. and those below average temperatures are not going anywhere any time soon apparently. the wjz is live with first warning weather coverage and marty bass is tracking the cold snap but we begin with mike shuh where they are treated weather related problems. >> reporter: automobiles are not taking very kindly -- kindly to the weather. there are a lot of dead batteries across the area. and here at emergency rooms across the area, we are finding that er doctors say that one group of individuals, well, they are admission rates are up by 25%. generally people out in this have to be. the trash man. construction worker, people who are paid to be outside no matter the weather. but still, it may be unpleasant when the city workers get this hole excay vatted at -- excavated at the water main break there will be water and ice below but emergency room doctors say

we now turn to scott snyder for some commentary. scott? >> my job here is to be a discussant but i do feel a little bit of an obligation to also provide some framework through which we can understand how these papers hang together. mike used the word "eclectic" to describe the offerings that we've had as part of this project. and i think that is true but maybe i can try to, you know, answer the question for any of those in the audience who are still wondering what -- you know, great presentations but what do they have in common with each other? i think the way of doing that is by going back and looking a little bit at the joint statement that was released last june by the two presidents at the white house. and the key phrase from that statement is of, quote-unquote, together we will build a comprehensive strategic alliance of bilateral, regional and global scope based on common values and mutual trust. i think this is a very ambitious statement of purpose. because it magnifies the importance of the alliance in two dimensions. one is geogra

scott, if you want to start?> we had a meeting and ruled that -- >> you had a jurga. >> we're going to switch the order. >> ok, take it away. >> thanks very much, john. thank you to usip for hosting this event here this morning. scott and i had a discussion last night about how we would sort of go forward with this discussion this morning and i think what i would like to do is lead off with a bit of the introduction to the ecc. as many of you know, it's temporary -- of the two electoral bodies in afghanistan, the independent election commission and the electoral complaints commission, the e.c.c. is a temporary body. it's only in existence for the period of the election campaign. it will cease to exist, its mandate ceases to exist up to 30 days after certification of final results. our understanding from a few days ago is that the final certified results for released in sort of late third week of december, our mandate officially ends about the 25th of january. our mandate as described under law, the e.c.c.'s manda

the panel deliberated just 37 minutes today before returning the verdict against scott roeder.

what you need scott will spend money on war, martha will spend money on healthcare.the reality is, who do you want to spend your money? do you want the government to spend your money? or do you want to make those decisions for yourself? i'm the only candidate that will go out there and i will cut spending. i will repeal obama-care. i will file legislation to end the wars. and i will bring that money back to the people of massachusetts and the rest of the country. i will audit the federal reserve. i'm the only candidate that is willing to cut the spending. you have to ask yourself, who do you want spending your money? do you want it to be the government or do you want to make those decisions yourself? >> thank you. ladies and gentlemen, this concludes tonight's debate. the final debate before the election next tuesday. as we leave, i'd like to thank, if we might the edward m. kennedy instituteth united states senate for sponsoring this debate. i'd like to thank the university of massachusetts at boston for hosting this event. i'd like to thank our media partners who h

we're going to massachusetts to vote for scott. they made a special trip to go to massachusetts so he could vote for scott brown. this was in many way as national referendum princely on the major issue we're wrestling with here in congress which is whether or not the government should take over 1/of our economy, slash medicare by half a trillion dollars, raise taxes by half a trillion dollars and drive insurance rates up for the most of the rest of our country and i think we heard a large and resounding message yesterday if one of the most, if not arguably the most liberal states in america. the people of massachusetts spoke and spoke loudly. one concern i know a imin of you had about the outcome of this election would be whether the new senator would be seated. i'm convinced now that no gamesmanship will be played by the other side with regard to future votes in the senate. senator jim webb, made it clear he will not participate in any additional health care votes prior to senator brown being sworn in. and i noticed that elected o

scott and steve.noticed i've been paying attention to politics for the last 20 years and, i know this some things happening in this country tilting the playing field toward corporations and businesses and against working people. when you see someone working for the government their salary will be lower than the same job if they were doing for the public. so, that matter of someone working for the government and being able to retire, that's deal they made, so if you're going to go back on your deal, that's not the way this country works. we had something happen back during the gingrich revolution where this technical computer based industry came into being. and the bubble popped. . caller: and then allows someone to come into the office and write their own bill for how the industry will operate, it ended up costing this country and all these states a lot of revenue because -- and correct me if i'm wrong, i i don't think there's any sales tax on anything you buy online. happy new decade. guest: thank yo

go, scott brown. host: "the new york times" reported that john boehner has hired a former top adviser to the house republicans in 1994, barry jackson. he is the one who helped devise the contract with america. he is now on mr. john boehner's staff. his longtime adviser died on january 10 very suddenly. but "the new york times" says the selection of mr. jackson, who worked for mr. john boehner , it demonstrates how serious republicans are producing a campaign platform for the coming elections. given mr. jackson's reputation as a tough partisan operator. louisiana, this is jason. good morning. calling on the republican line. caller: thank you. yes, i have a wet house for the white house, the republican party and independent party -- message for the white house. obama needs to put the best the ball down and get a baseball bat and start beating heads in his party. rahm emanuel -- punching that -- back, obama has the skills that are verbal but not what needs to knock out. axelrod, one thing about the repub

her opponent is state senator scott brown. at 22, he posed for a nude centerfold in "cosmopolitan" magazine. calling himself an independent conservative, he has vowed, if elected, to provide the 41st vote to block the democrats' health care reform bill in the senate. from the outset, coakley wrapped herself in the kennedy mantle, and early polls showed her with a 30-point lead. >> as some have noted, no one can fill his shoes, but we must strive to follow in his footsteps. >> warner: but in recent weeks, brown has surged. a turning point came just after christmas, when brown aired an ad comparing himself to president john f. kennedy. >> ...will have both immediate and permanent benefits to our economy. every dollar released from taxation that is spent or invested will help create a new job and a new salary. >> warner: coakley did not respond, and in early january, polls showed the race tightening. with a filibuster-proof senate majority at stake, democrats belatedly began pouring talent and ad money into coakley's campaign. >>

what you need to ask yourself is, scott will spend money on war. martha will spend money on health care. who do you want to spend your money? do you want the government to spend your money? do you want to make those decisions for yourself? i am the only candidate who will cut spending. i will repeal obamacare and file legislation to end the wars and bring that money back to the people of massachusetts and the rest of the country. i will audit the federal reserve. i am willing to cut the spending. you have to ask yourself, would you want spending your money? do you wanted to be the government? do you want to make those decisions yourself? -- you want it to be the government? do you want to make those decisions yourself? >> i would like to thank the edward m. kennedy institute of the united states senate for sponsoring this debate. i would like to think the university of massachusetts at boston for hosting this event. the biggest gathering in memory. this election is so close. i would like to urge all of you if you have a moment, given what they have

i echo the scott's comments. wantonly to keep in mind is to be able to demonstrate progress from one election to the next. however the metric you wanted to use, people have to see progress that we're moving in the right direction. in terms of the, you know, parliamentary elections, how might we improve? i think is important that we make this point, a very honest reflection on the process. in august of 2009 it used to go back to it -- and not just of 2009. it needs to go back to 2004 and 2005. it needs to go back to when they were written. we need to take a serious, honest view of what went on, and how the resources collectively can best be apportioned to address the issues that need to be addressed. we will talk about district or -- we will not talk about district or municipal elections. one of the things that comes to my mind, to be frank, in 2004, 2005, [unintelligible] it may not have been to the same extent, but it was certainly reported on. in 2005, the issues were very [unintelligible] there was no transiti

s scott mentioned in the introductory remarks. in the vision statement that the two presidents agreed on last june in washington, there is a statement we will work together to promote respect for the fundamental rights for the number three and people. it is a short document but it is not clear what they actually intend to do in terms of cooperation. actually we have a new special envoy for robert kane who was going to seoul career next week and we welcome him of the we have a full time on foia and have never expectation he will do a wonderful job. he has a big job because almost ready agrees his predecessor was the unmitigated disaster. not all the invisible most of the time but then when he did get the attention it was not so much for human rights but criticizing the bush to administration's approach two north korea. we're definitely making progress in the right direction. we have a few mint on foyer rights but they have never met each other before. there will be a lot for them to talk about. what of the challenges that we face f

in times like these, we cannot afford a republican like scott brown. >> i am scott brown running foru.s. senate. by now you have seen that negative ads against maitre they decided the best way to stop the is to tear me down. the old way of doing things will not work anymore. the attack as are wrong and go to barbara i am scott brown and i approve this buses because i am running in the name of the independent-thinking boater to take a political machine. with your help, i intend to host: let's hear from another independent in boston. aller: good morning and thank you cspan for the beautiful program that they do all the time. i am italian. i think it is time that the people of massachusetts realize that we need a change. this guy is a good guy. i hope the people of massachusetts want to go and vote next week for change. i would like to tell all the italians -- [italian language] thank y. host: before you go, who for those who do not know italian what did you say? caller: i said that people have a lot of debt. host: thank you for your call. off of twitter -- i don't care if it is teddy's

and by the way that is what scott brown still wants to do is return to. he wants to go back to the drawing board. indeed he wants to go back to the bush through coaching any policies that provide for the wealthiest. i support it and i said i supported plan that will provide tax relief for the middle class bill will allow middle class families to keep more money in their paychecks to provide for tax credits for college, to provide tax credits and more lending opportunities for small businesses which will be the engine there will get this economy into a state moving again. mr. kennedy? >> wages have not risen in america since 1972 so it's not just the last ten years. we've lost the last 40 years. what we need to do is get the economy going. and the way that we do that is cut spending. harding did it in the 20's. we haven't done it since. the increase government programs and continue to spend money on the war and spend money on the entitlement plans. these things draw money from the private sector into the public sector and year after year after year we see

it was scott brown's folks. he ran a great campaign. now we're taking coakley's laziness as a national referendum on the democratic platform. i think that's overreaching. >> she was 35 points ahead and fell apart as the health care thing went behind closed doors. >> larry: penn, you were saying? >> i don't know what stephanie means. it's obama that's changed his course. it's not we saying he should change his course. he actually is. so apparently what he thought happened in massachusetts is different from what you thought happened in massachusetts. i think he has a better view than you do. >> i beg your pardon. i think he has information i don't have? >> i like him more than you. >> i want to wait until tomorrow night and see what the president says, but i agree with you. i think the lesson from massachusetts is that the health care bill is not liberal enough. the american people in poll after poll have wanted a he robust public option. that's not in any of the bills anymore. that's been in every poll for a year. >> that's not the polls

wanted to refer especially to the magical excess of this gathering in central park led by coretta scott king. weeks after the death of her husband. she has this to say. all "my dear friends, the peace and freedom, i come to new york today with a strong feeling of my husband snatched suddenly from our missed three weeks ago. you would've wanted me to be present today. though my heart is heavy with grief, from having suffered an irreparable loss, my faith is strong for today than ever before. i have suffered an irreparable loss and my faith is stronger than it ever was. as many of you probably know, my husband had accepted the invitation to speak to you today. paddy been here, -- had he been here, i'm sure there would have been a higher level of understanding. i want to share something. he scribbled notes on paper for his speeches. among these notes was once said he never delivered, perhaps they were his early thoughts for what he was to give you today. i will read them to you as he recorded them. and i quote, "on vietnam, about shalt not believe in military victory. second, thou shalt no

i am surprised at scott because he is a lawyer and he does defense work for jag.e understands what constitutional rights are about. i did not think a constitutional right is a suicide pact. we need to do whatever we can to keep our people save and to what works. we need to make sure we have the right intelligence. >> if we want to secure the people of america, we need to not say why are we at war with the al qaeda text we need to understand why al qaeda is at war with us. it is because we occupy nations in the middle east. if you are a little kid in you have somebody from another country walking up and down your street with a machine gun, you are going to grow up hating that country. when you turn 15, it is going to be very easy to recruit you to come over and kill us. that is what is happening. the reality is if we want a safer country, we need to not occupy these lands. we need to pull back the individuals who are deployed over there. we need to take some of the money that is paid -- that pays for that deployment and secure our borders. if we focused on securing

scott talked about. i am surprised that we did not meet their -- meet theire. we all had our little flashlights and he is singing happy birthday to you. it was a party. it had a great time if you need that to just -- it was a great time. if you need that to just get the vision of what it is that you can do to make sure that this day does not go in vain, a lot of work when and to make in this day holiday and it came from people like you and me. let's continue to celebrate the holiday. let's make it the best they that it can be and what to make the best that can be. i think that as part of what my contribution is to this panel, to show that it was a lot of the work of the folks appear have a great martin luther king holiday. [applause] >> i might add that one of the things that i noticed on the timeline is the fact that 1994, the congress enacted a bill that makes the same day service day and that is something to keep in mind. you have a lot of kids that are out of school but they find the service opportunities to dedicate that day to service for their community.
