[0:00]" We're talking with state senator Scott Brown Republican for our US senate let me start with some local business and that would be -- You are proposing that pepper spray be removed from the list of items needing a firearm identification card tell me about that."
[0:15]" Aurora where one of the only states in the country that still requires that and we have bipartisan support -- but really it's mostly for women in women should have the ability that. That self defense when it comes to. Potentially being attacked there -- a lot of muggings and rapes and other types of situations where they can use this and defensive measure in -- it makes sense. There -- a lot of folks who support -- hopeful that it gets through and people can call their legislators and ask them to us support it."
[0:46]" Is error fear unconcerned that may be attacked Gerson wouldn't. Armed themselves with -- story."
[0:53]" It was bizarre is that -- I think they would use other types of weapons. Noticeably one of the only states in the country and it's still. Has the archaic ought to have. Women in particular you know go for the long and arduous process of getting in effect be tried to carry the strength."
[1:11]" Two matters. On the national level if you were to be in the US senate things at obviously might be coming before you. After the election in January. First of all the president's sudden decision which is yet to be made on what to do an Afghanistan. Do you support sending more troops there."
[1:28]" Well I think that we should rely on the recommendations of general McChrystal the and the generals on the ground in and do just that because my fears that that area will be coming. Basically export terrorism throughout the region in the world and it would be surge worked in Iraq and if we've featured work and in Afghanistan as well. And I know that it's it's it's a very tough decision I certainly respect him. Taking the time to do it because -- mystery tremendous burden to send men and women into harm's way but. It's important that we keep pushing -- al-Qaeda and Taliban towards Pakistan and Pakistan pushed back and then you know they can ultimately grind. Them down to the point was that they are not viable and we need to stabilize the area and as you know we have almost a six million. And people in schools now women especially have more rights and I think it's it's it's it's very important for the safety of the region in the United States. "
[2:24]" Yesterday we saw the US attorney general testified on Capitol Hill. About his support of bringing -- Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to New York City for his trial. What do you do like the idea of of this trial being in in that court in in open in New York City or doesn't make this -- target again."
[2:43]" Well I think -- I was with senator sessions -- the other day in Washington time that the very thing and we both agreed that it gives the terrorist a platform two. Propaganda. Makes certainly New York target but more importantly the giving constitutional rights to their group that is not entitled to them and saying uphold that precedent for years to come -- who opened up the United States to interact tourism discovery. And a lot of very sensitive information on what happens if somebody goes pros say they will get the ability to to say and do whatever they want to be a big circus I'm against of their. Enemy combatants and they should be treated as such and trying to military court."
[3:22]" Another matter that's -- going to be before on congress next year and that's going to be health care reform we heard the Senate democrats' version. Come out yesterday. Where do you stand --"
[3:34]" It's Arkansas Massachusetts we have 90% of our people are insured right now and that government option on the plan is being proposal. Put Massachusetts businesses out of business and we'll have lesser care. And it will cost the Massachusetts and insistently. The tremendous amount of extra dollars. Let -- the fact that it could Deb three trillion dollars to the national debt. It's just not good for Massachusetts and quite frankly. Shocked that the four people running yours too much in support of this and as well the twelve people went down in Washington because. The personnel reduced check to see if it's -- Massachusetts and absolution."
[4:11]" Senator to the campaign for US senate first it's obviously the primary and then the general election if you go on in January. How is a primary battle going against Jackie Robinson."
[4:22]" While focusing certainly the the main election I've been working and going throughout the state for two and a half months. And what I'm sensing throughout the -- people are frustrated they're angry and there's a sense of and seriousness and wanting change and had never felt before and I am looking forward to. Because people want change they they're tired of the same kind of cookie cutter candidate and that the same person that we very have been on -- already. He -- twelve people down there who are voting they're doing their. The holder of the same special interest Harry Reid Nancy closing -- Governor Patrick President Obama. And they one they want somebody independent who's always been independent who works across party lines to get the job done and in would have been little -- next to somebody different down there."
[5:11]" And to that end most of -- not most pundits by what do you say to those people who say well. Whoever wins a democratic primary is our next US senator that that seat is going to be long to a Democrat."
[5:24]" Well I want them to keep thinking that because they think they're making it very serious mistake when I'm traveling around that the states. I'm having surprising amount of Democrats. Come up to me look me in the take my crackers in my. I -- cards reminding my contribution envelopes and saying you know what this is not JFK's party anymore I don't know the people that are running middle represent. Things that I believe and I'm voting for you my feelings -- voting for you. And I think people -- going to be very surprised they want somebody is a senator who's an independent thinker and go to they do not want another clone down there like the people that we have already. It's time for its time for change and people looking for that opportunity to express their anger and frustration in and make a real statement."
