Play from 0:00[0:00]" We're pleased to be joined by Republican you have to senator Judd Gregg here on WBZ thank you for being here I know we have a busy day senator."

Play from 0:08[0:08]" Well -- going to be good day the congress start up again hopefully we can get things going to surprise the thing -- As some bipartisan effort watching which is what we really need -- to get economy going."

Play from 0:20[0:20]" Well we know Barack Obama was up there yesterday pitching his stimulus package you're out today with two Op Ed pieces in The Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post. What is your message in a --"

Play from 0:31[0:31]" And that their waste to -- can be constructive and can -- by arson and it's important that we get. Get -- and that we just can't sit around and the way you accomplish this is -- sit down as. The president elect has all the different players in come into the consensus as to what the best action to take in -- try to get economy going."

Play from 0:50[0:50]" This is an ambitious stimulus package that Barack Obama is pitching one that would provide businesses with billions of dollars in refunds on taxes that they paid several years ago. Many analysts are saying that is a bone thrown to Republicans are you -- of that element."

Play from 1:07[1:07]" Well you create jobs by giving people who basically are starting out then and building small businesses the opportunity to be successful because that's where the jobs are created. George really are created by the government and are they certainly aren't treated that much right now by big business they're created by. Under maneuvers people -- going to take a risk people who in -- start -- restaurant owner said that software company here. Or go out and just and our dear what can hurt -- to action and so. I do think this is the approach that we should take on the -- that we should be basically giving those folks. Some resources that they can use nordic region Johnston. The bottom line is I create good jobs in it in the American economy mostly judge created by small business."

Play from 1:49[1:49]" Okay what about the spending aside concerns red flags."

Play from 1:53[1:53]" Well I think you can I think there has to be suspending the economy it has basically slowed to a complete stop here. The only which we can let Judy get. -- and so Tuesday. Agrees that we -- this is the government. We do need to spend in specific areas though there's been a better return. To the economy in more competitive atmosphere so. We should make investment in infrastructures. Making more competitive I don't think we need to. Be going on in building swing sets and unifying main street shall we need to be doing -- buildings. Roads and bridges and infrastructure IT infrastructure. Like broad -- Going to make it more competitive as we c'mon this economic slowdown in global economy."

Play from 2:39[2:39]" You write tongue in cheek in The Wall Street Journal Op Ed of course if you follow the paths at fort but set forth by our Republican administration to take industry winners. Like the Big Three automakers and simply send them cash. Then you end up with taxpayers simply paying twice or three times for every car they but I."

Play from 2:58[2:58]" Well that's trillion not mean unfortunately with the Big Three until they restructure. Until they actually create a business model was going to work where they've won produce cars -- want to buy into produce and the prices are competitive with their when their competition. What happens is the American taxpayer -- they -- have border Chrysler GM. They pay at the showroom -- on April 15 and -- its actions and their kids stayed because a lot of this money is borrowed so. I don't make a lot of sense to need to pick an industry like that is say we're just gonna give you money and actually get something in return which is basically restructuring which means. -- to write down her debt structure there. Senior management has taken Erica and their unions -- willing to have competitive contracts with companies like Toyota that are producing in the United States. "

Play from 3:42[3:42]" Senators you mentioned congress' is convening today re convening today and death. Is there do you confrontation of the door of the Senate chamber today Roland -- he he should be the next senator from Illinois seated and it sounds like Harry Reid says no way."

Play from 3:57[3:57]" Well at the -- are going to start off some good theater. An -- that questions. I guess that's really -- to. Mr. bursts. That he must approach this Eric on the news just -- they -- guide critic arbitration. Clearly there is a cloud overs I don't see how the Senate can not see them if he has the certificate and the certificate. Is from the state of Illinois and the governor has appointed him because constitutions says. That the only qualifications are standards involved agent residency. So I do believe we'll probably -- to -- them want to get sensitive to get my understanding is he does not right now have a certificate right this very Jewish state hasn't signed it but. I suspect -- court -- sectors did decide that certificate when it happens. I don't see that we can get around not the gentlemanly. He's really qualified to be just that the person appointed. Qualified to be governor."

Play from 4:49[4:49]" but he can't but he can't legally or constitutionally be sworn in today without that certificate."

Play from 4:54[4:54]" I wouldn't think should not an option because I think senator Reid has grounds to say no and he gets into it we're not going to act on your. On your position here and sway you in. That is pretty clear in in the law that they have to have a certificate signed by its interstate."

Play from 5:11[5:11]" What about Democrat Al franken of course he defeated. The Republican norm Coleman by 225. Votes. In this latest count by the state canvassing board. Away he says he's proud to have been elected and and again Harry Reid saying there will be no effort to see Al franken. Would you expect will happen there."

Play from 5:31[5:31]" Pretty much the same thing because again under the Minnesota laws I understand I'm not an expert here the he cannot -- to -- until seven days after certification by. Whatever the election board is up there at about -- commission. And that's seven days. Just the clock and -- just start runs I don't believe the -- state of Minnesota can issue the certificate they have either but once they do then we're -- in my view would be we should -- him I mean if he wins the election and certified by the and by the proper authority Minnesota's and he's to be seated because that's -- the constitution --"

Play from 6:04[6:04]" Do you think that norm Coleman should pursue another lawsuit in this case."

Play from 6:09[6:09]" Yes I think if he feels he has there as legitimate grounds they appear to have legitimate grounds he thinks they're most of weren't counted. That he should take all -- legal recourse I certainly supporters effort to do that."

Play from 6:20[6:20]" I'm surprised there are no hanging chads senator."

Play from 6:23[6:23]" I think in all it's. It's just so on credible little actual bedecked clothes which. The -- some fearless as well remember that and actually -- elections but the United States and became down to three votes. Back in nineteen or between Lima and dirtier and and that so we've -- in New Hampshire and it takes like -- election that. As in Minnesota two million votes cast there only -- it. -- apart takes a lot of figured out what --"

Play from 6:50[6:50]" I love the political history that's wonderful are mobilizing its New Hampshire senator Judd Gregg good luck. Congratulations. On making it through last year and fingers crossed all of us for a better year in 2009."

Play from 7:04[7:04]" I absolutely Laurie let's -- things pick up here in the economies start to get gone and that we can. Jumping out a little people connect or their -- afterward so much about their jobs."

Play from 7:14[7:14]" We'll keep up the good works are."

Play from 7:15[7:15]" Thank you."
