[0:00]" US exports right now are very attractive overseas. That's one of the benefits of having a weak dollar and to talk about that and other matters was on WBZ this morning. New Hampshire senator Jean Shaheen he's going to be speaking at the seaport hotel today. A bucks exports live real deals real profits. Then senator of the admittedly this is good fruit metaphor of the companies in Massachusetts New Hampshire across the country who were. Exporting goods overseas -- In their downside to the weak greenback."
[0:32]" Well certainly would want the dollar stronger we want economy stronger one of the things that economists. -- out. -- that for a lot of businesses particularly small and medium sized businesses. Being able to do bitten -- brought out export their goods and services is going to be. Very important. And keep getting them three that recession and making them stronger on the other side."
[0:56]" Speaking of of the recession senator you would have said that you were going to vote in favor. A something of -- house has already done to extend unemployment benefits another thirteen weeks. But not at all fifty states just in states where the unemployment rate is at least eight and a half percent. New Hampshire is only six point 9% so what would this extension of benefits do for people in the granite state."
[1:19]" Wouldn't do any -- that came out of that house unfortunately it would help. People unemployed and New Hampshire and twenty few other states and now what I propose an amendment. That it would extend unemployment. Benefits for people in our state rocked the country for thirteen weeks -- I don't care Rainier and Michigan Massachusetts and answered -- and are unemployed. You are taking -- bank Allen and I proposed is that. The interest and dividends that banks are paying back to that -- patents. And used those dollars don't help people who are unemployed and they allowed the bank I think it's important -- that help unemployed people out of the country."
[2:01]" Let me let me switch to a couple of other issues while we have you on -- senator first of all. On. The national health care reform you light the public option."
[2:13]" I do I think we -- something that is gonna provide a lot of caught alternative for people who are having trouble affording health insurance. And I don't think we need campaign that and -- out keep that out and parent company I'm and make sure that they keep air rates competitive. Now I think that's. A bad alternative I think they're out -- way to accomplish that and my. Orton and I'm trying to keep focused on the goal that we need to keep an inning. -- care reform that's got to help people who are currently having trouble courting their health insurance. That's gotta make sure that you've got a preexisting condition and dug out insurance and that overtime. Lower health care costs and stabilize that --"
[2:59]" What are you hearing from your constituents are they use a little bit concerned about the federal government having so larger role in health care."
[3:07]" You know I'm hearing from some people who oppose any -- the current -- and but I am hearing. I'm a lot of people who are very concerned about what they're cuter for example I heard from and -- Latin. New Hampshire outside of the capital Concord. And he had problems. Not -- swelling in the leg he didn't have health insurance. And he didn't want -- doctor authority couldn't afford it. And finally they kept in hospital and ambulance he had a pulmonary embolism that it got so bad out would've been a lot. Either that for him. Treated act when the sentence -- appeared at -- and let happily -- and now we need to get something. Give people the opportunity -- checked out again primary care to not be afraid when they're sick. --"
[4:05]" Final question the senator Jean Shaheen have regards what the president is going to be doing again today and that is convening. And only members of the military but also some members of congress talk about Afghanistan. As you know the stability of Afghanistan has deteriorated recently in the issue was whether the United States should. Pullout continue with the present fighting force or increased perhaps by as much as 40000 the presence of US troops there which -- thought."
[4:33]" When you know I think we need to. Examine what we're gonna do very carefully and I think the president taking the time to. It is very important and I have to say ineptitude that benefits from having. I'm Gary head of the foreign relations committee. Which I sit on. We've been looking very closely at -- are alternatives aren't yet and I visited the country back and -- And we had just gotten -- an -- on brand we really we're just beginning. Resource that their decision that the president had made last martz would be at the Iranian side and to try and provide additional trainers that we had. Trained Afghan army and -- board and they air. So I think we've got to act now we look at this issue and being -- We're gonna do that we've got to do it remembering that. -- That was the stronghold for the Taliban who. Were wearing an opportunity for al-Qaeda had -- there kiran camp out of that can't stand and if we pull out I think the question is what happened as terrorists can't. And what they have that same kind of asylum at."
[5:57]" New Hampshire senator Jean Shaheen on WBZ senator thank you very much."
