The founder city year who is taking out some better known contenders for the democratic primary. The vacant seat of Senator Ted Kennedy temporarily fill the course. Right now and joining us is day mr. Casey who say is that he's not given up to skews your behind in the polls trying."
[0:30]" Oh that's right you know there's there's plenty of time in this election. You know people are hurting. They've lost their jobs their homes their retirement savings the -- streams of a college education unemployment approaching 10%. They know this is an important election I have the background experience and track record. To put new ideas in action and I believe that I can make a big difference for the citizens to -- The Commonwealth of Massachusetts so people people races election you know we love our sports teams in Massachusetts. And we -- over politics and I have faith in the voters of Massachusetts. That is they pay attention as they focus on who the candidates are.

I will be successful."
[1:18]" Who lives let's talk about your Beckham missed easy elective office."
[1:22]" I have not serving elective office I've been in public service for twenty years ever since I graduated from law schools started -- my best friend Michael Brown. I understand the change comes from the bottom up all the way to took Washington I've done that I've helped the past three major pieces of national legislation. I've done that by organizing citizens coalition's. And getting people involved in the process and working closely with Senator Kennedy. And others on the other side work with every single president going back to George Bush 41 President Clinton. Toward bush 43 am President Obama so I understand please works understand how to get citizens involved. To make a difference and to move it because it's stuck. It's polluted by special interest money pac money lobbyists. That's why I've taken a pledge not take a dime of pac money or lobbyist money even though I didn't start behind. I didn't start with a campaign account or with a statewide name certainly with a personal fortune I don't wanna be beholden to lobbyists I only wanna be beholden to the citizens of people of Massachusetts."
[2:22]" Is it true that you raised about a billion dollars almost immediately."
[2:25]" We raise one point one million dollars we've been in the race for about a week. I've been raising money for about two weeks services to petitions. And I think that's because people -- responding to this message I think people are tired of -- and be run by the special interest people do believe. Candidate who offers an opportunity get them involved in the process and to empower them to achieve the American dream. And to make sure America -- claims itself as an opportunity society. Should be in this race should be of the resources so I was incredibly humbled and gratified. The people came -- From all over to say yes counties we believe you're gonna support you because we don't want to Paxson lobbyist to Washington we want the citizens to be sure."
[3:10]" Let's talk about where you fit -- on the political spectrum compared to your opponents if we -- David for example Coakley is to the right effect happy 10. --"
[3:20]" Well you know I don't fit an ideological box that's what I haven't been there I've not part of that system. My focuses on what works I try to focus on. What are the ideas and innovations that are happening all across the great state of Massachusetts and how to we learn from them. And then use the power officer it is extraordinary. To help. Change Washington and taken across the country. Four universal health care that's personal for me much fun as the doctor limos and -- I was raised that appeared to be right. Not a privilege of for a strong public option but I'm also for medical malpractice reform might to Dr. I I saw the impact of that. I think people need to be compensated for short but we should have medical courts as senator Bill Bradley has posters of Bankruptcy Courts and immigration. Courts are trying to figure out how to make the system more for strong education reform. I'm for Charter Schools and an extended learning today this is we've seen in Massachusetts Chris get really put that on the national map the president has -- that. Another example of Massachusetts in the way. -- strongly for LG BT writes I'm proud of Massachusetts was the first state. Maine's two mixing sex marriage legal I will work every day to repeal the that defense of marriage act. And to repeal that ridiculous don't ask don't tell policy we have people who've served in Iraq and Afghanistan who put their lives on the line for -- country and then we can out of."
[4:40]" They've obviously given military the president as you know -- is this week meeting with various interest of the civilian and military trying to. Determined what should be the American military presence in Afghanistan. There should be cruel or not. Among the recommendations one from the commanding general there general McChrystal that he boost troops by as much as 40000. It's been going on for eight years now what do you think."
[5:04]" You know I have a strong view on this I talked about in my announcement speech probably any other candidate did and I said then. Two weeks ago repeated today I will not support. A troop increase in Afghanistan I have. At this time I have tremendous respect for the men and women armed forces I've been civilians service my whole life. I've never had put my life on the line for our country. So that decision and elected official makes. Send our troops in harm's way harms way is the most sacred decision I think is what we need to do first -- I can't support a troop increase and so we have. It's clear sense of the mission what are we trying to accomplish. Secondly what -- in terms of American lives and treasure. Third how long are we going to be there. What's the exit strategy what -- came force can we get the American people to support it. Because we have in our history we've seen this movie before. If for involvement of foreign conflict and the American people don't support it it's not sustainable it won't work finally I think we need a comprehensive. Foreign policy strategy. Not just the military strategy it's not a surprise that we when attorney general -- what he says I want more troops. Our people have died over there we had the highest. Death -- the past two months on a monthly basis that we've had over the whole course of the eight years so of course he wants more troops we can't just leave it -- personal. We look at that the whole. Or leadership or foreign policy strategy are reminded of what president Kennedy -- the Cuban missile crisis the military told them the first of those missiles you have to bomb or invade mr. And so -- have it worse -- And in nuclear war well then he -- another option. And thirteen days. They came up with the blockade an intensive secret diplomacy. To trade are are obsolete missiles in Turkey for those in Cuba and we give the Russians face it way out. And thank -- Jack Kennedy was president he said the plan worked with his brother and so. -- as a senator Dole's stance from."

[7:15]" Well you know I am deeply. Gratified by the support from max and his wife -- Kennedy. This is a personal endorsement thinking it was one of the very first two years we've got to see here we've had no money we had not that we start from scratch and nobody really it was a chance of succeeding. Think he saw a sign in the window. A little storefront office in all we want volunteers she walked in I'm matter she started get the work right away. So I've known them for more than twenty years. Max's tremendous human beings. He's that is renowned author he's so Renaissance man he. Is an extraordinary campaign he campaigned all across. America for President Obama with my brother lance they're very very good France on incredibly gratified by the support. You know for them for all the way out here. To stand with me today that means a lot to me personally and not let the voters of Massachusetts decides. How important citizen ultimately this election is about them that fit their needs for new jobs the need for clean energy. Before. I'm -- and these wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We get health care so I guess I'm just very grateful to maxim that very difference to. Who would have time to help people come out of the apartment house -- it's an open event in the public with."
[8:31]" You will also going to be campaigning with the Kennedys on the as some college campuses. Here in the Boston area and in the west of partisan as well. This thing is is a how to get college students to vote or register the first are starting to run out of time rich for the primary right."
[8:48]" Well actually that you can certainly up until twenty days before the elections so there's plenty of time for that."
[8:53]" William -- about a week and a half of the stage."
[8:56]" Well I don't know I don't know the complexities embrace you can read broke up until it."
[9:00]" On W Johnson you rewrite of -- audio balance Alex okay let's try to hit."
[9:31]" Helped elect president Obama's he won that eighteen to thirty age group by more than total. And that was the margin of difference for him so they're powerful. I've worked with young people yes I'm gonna appeal of that. And say you're important -- needed you can change this country you can change a selection so. And hasn't said in the -- I'm not so important potential for twenty people caught him. Because those twenty people can lead to more people and as they get involved. We can be success. It's not about me it's about their future they're the ones are gonna inherit trillions of dollars of debt they're the ones who were -- and -- deployment that is. Suffered from climate change unless we do something about it but once there are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan literally putting. Still lives on the line for country so they care decided you know people don't hear is -- we we saw that just nine months ago president Obama's election so. On the work hard to get their support I hope we'll get involved. I think every candidate should be asking people to get involved there are future."
