Im ed harding along with newscenter 5s political reporter janet wu. Our october countdown tonight at 9 00 p. M. The second president ial debate. And there are now 37 days until election day. Our guest this morning, congressman mike capuano of the seventh district. The congressman does not have a challenger this november so he will go back to work. Today is sunday, you have brady at 1 00 4 30, and the president ial debate at 9 00. In the mike capuano world, rank them, 1, 2, 3 . Mike you have to go with the sox because it is a playoffs. I expect them to win, but if they lose one more, they can still get into the playoffs. Janet are you telling us that the politics may be more important tomorrow depending on what happens tomorrow night. Im on the way to help out a potential colleague in New Hampshire so i will be listening to some of it on the radio. Janet lets start with president ial politics. The debate is tonight. Your candidate Hillary Clinton has struggled to get specifics from donald trump. What can you recommend that she do to pin him in the first debate. We couldnt pick, but i think she did as good as you can do in these things. I think she has a repeat of it. I firmly believe the matter what acrobatics donald trump does, the American People in the final analysis want somebody who is competent for the job. Janet do you expect her to come at him harder than she did in he is a politician or real leader in the community. Whatever he thinks is the best character to play tonight, he will play. Ed is trumps womens issue clintons biggest advantage at this point among undecided independents . If it isnt, what might be . Mike very seldom do you have an issue that decides an election. This guy has pretty much insulted everyone. Its amazing to me that peo this in my international leader. The president is the most powerful person in the world. First of all, he doesnt have some great insults. If you want some good insults, he should hang around me and my friends when we are off tv. He is a secondrate actor. Not even that, third rate. If it sells, you have to ask yourself, what is going on in this country . Against her regardless of what you are saying. Among undecided voters, one poll shows they are more upset by Hillary Clintons email problems than they are with trumps tax returns. What does that say to you . Mike that is why they are undecided. Most people that are undecided do not like anybody, i get that. They are looking at two candidates and they say i dont like this one for this reason, i dont like this one for that reason. Janet more upset about the email dan tax returns, how do you figure that out in your mind . Mike they have been hearing about it a lot longer. Trump has not had an answer for it. When the final analysis comes, even those who do not necessarily like Hillary Clinton , are still going to say, which person do i want in the white house . With everything said and done, i dont like either one of them. I still want the one that is i cannot wait to vote for somebody else for years from now, but many of those people, they are more thoughtful than some people give them credit for. They may be angry and upset i am angry and upset, but im not going to punch myself in the nose to prove how angry i am. Ed bill weld seems to be trying to help out clinton and the democrats. Is the libertarian voice being heard by anyone Still Deciding . Mike as a clinton supporter, im particularly happy bill weld is not number one on his ticket. Ed it would be a better ticket if he was there . Mike i think more people would be listening to the message. I know gary johnson has made some significant gaffes. It is wanting to make a mistake. Everybody misspeaks here and there. Candidacy is hurting clinton and kane more than trump and pence. Mike i dont know about that. I would not be terribly surprised. I also think that will change, too. Again, when they going to vote, they will have to look themselves in the mirror and understand, 90 of them will end of voting them. Ed clinton had won the first debate. You worked with mike pence in congress. In terms of presentation and presence on camera, he was far different than trump. Mike i dont know tim kaine, i have met him, but i dont know him. Mike pence is exactly what he was as he was on tv the other day. Smooth, midwestern, relatively polite. His voting record. His voting record is as hard right as you can get on issues. That doesnt make him a bad person, it just makes him wrong. That one is a little bit difficult. Janet did he win the debate . Mike my judgment is secondary, i think it is more of a drop. The pundits think that he won a little bit. Nobody said that he destroyed , according to some, because he is being compared to donald trump. Ed and donald took credit for it. Mike i am waiting for him to take credit for the sunrise. Ed ready for the otr pop quiz . What is aleppo . No, seriously. What world leader do you admire most . A world leader that you admire most. Mike several. If i had to pick one today, it would have to be either renzi or angela merkel. He oversees a situation that is difficult to govern in italy. Anyone in italy has an impossible job. Merkel because she has been so stable for so long. I dont agree with her on everything, but i give her credit forsi capital to help change the world. Ed name five countries who are members of nato . There are 28. Mike the u. S. , england, france, germany ed ok, the congressman knows all 28. Cmon in, pop pop im doing all i can to keep from having another one. And im taking brilinta. For people whove been hospitalized for a heart attack. I take brilinta with a baby aspirin. No more than one hundred milligrams as it affects how well it works. Brilinta helps keep my platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. Brilinta reduced the chance of another heart attack. Or dying from one. It worked better than plavix. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. Talk to your doctor about brilinta. Im doing all i can. That includes brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, airbnb has totally improved my life. E this cloud of, can i afford it . Im a teacher and im actually teaching in the School District where i live. Cambridge has become unaffordable. The extra income i have lets me stay at an affordable level in cambridge. Im able to do more things for more people which i really like doing. It gives us that little income that gonna keep the city, ed we are back with congressman capuano. He wants to talk about the 2013 red sox. This is question three. Of trump, clinton, stein, and johnson, the president ial candidate who does not have ties to massachusetts . Who is the one that does not have a direct high to massachusetts . Mike it has to be trump. Ed other than coming to massachusetts and knowing where it is. Mike can we stop . Ed no, you are three for three. For the first time, massachusetts voters can vote early this fall. When does bay state early voting begin . Mike i dont know exactly, but is october 24. Why will he give you that one. Janet you were pretty angry when wells fargo executives came before the house banking committee. Take a listen. You think today is tough . It is coming. When the prosecutors get a hold of you, they will have a lot of fun. Janet what is your Committee Going to do about this and is anyone upstairs going to lose their job . Mike will do much more. We will have hearings and pound the table more, but the committee is run by people who are not interested in Holding People accountable. Janet you are talking about the republicans. Mike congress can only do so much. It is about passing laws, not punishing people who do bad actions. In that clip i was representing angeles. Now that they have admitted what they did, and the day they had the hearing, as we were having that hearing, they were getting find another 24 million for defrauding veterans. I think the political pressure is on for most prosecutors to chase them. Janet if you were a prosecutor, what would be one change that you would want to see go through , as far as the wells fargo scenario goes . Mike there to do what needed to be done. It is just the congressional role and the prosecutorial role. To my knowledge, there is no here. They stole identity. I cannot imagine that they cannot be convicted of significant wrongdoing. Ed lets go through some of the ballot questions. We are voting for president. Mike probably know. Janet number two, cap on Charter Schools . Mike i will be voting to keep the cap. Ed question three, banning farm animals from being caged . Mike i will vote to let them free. Janet finally but most , controversial, question four, legalization of marijuana for Recreational Purposes . Mike i will vote to legalize marijuana, but i want to be that need to be addressed by the legislature a merely upon passage if it passes. The most controversial bill ever before was proposition build 24. Immediately on passage, we sat down with the proponents and opponents at the time and we realized the bill that was passed could not work. We redrafted it to work as intended by the drafters. In this bill, they need to deal your system, and how to measure it. Absent those three things, this bill cannot work. With those three things, the concept of being able to do what you want in your own homes is important. Ed congressman, we appreciate it. Coming up this morning, statehouse shakeup. Ed time now for todays otr political roundtable. Joining us now is mary anne marsh and rob gray. This is Like Television day patriots, brady returning, the red sox playoff game, and debate number two. Rank them for me please. What do you think, in order of importance . Mary anne for me, politics pursed. First. He had to have politics first. One, because if trump wins, it will be the end of the world, so no more sports. Two, it is like oxygen for , my father gave me a baseball glove the day i was born. Rob i have the chips and the beer ready. I think you have to go debate, red sox, brady. It is the playoffs. Janet they agree, lets remember that. Tonights debate is a little bit different. Its a town hall style. Who gets the advantage from this trump. He is more natural dealing with people, has been on the campaign trail more. Hillary clinton is like the antibill clinton when it comes to dealing with people. She can come off as uncomfortable, she can come off as patronizing of the questioner. She has to look out for that. Janet does she have a harder road to hoe here . Mary anne i have to disagree. She has beenoi for years. She actually excels in smaller settings. Donald trump, the problem for him, if he treats one of the questioners in the audience like the khans or nearly so much ado, the bottom falls out of his campaign. Ed that is where i want to go next. You have the candidates, the moderator. Now you have got the audience. For donald trump. Ed what do you think that will bring . Mary anne hopefully, real questions and real people. You will see Hillary Clinton and donald trump. If he flips up and attacks any of those questioners, Everything Else that has that hurt him, this will. Ed what is your read on the additional dynamic of the additional questioner . Rob high wire rack. He got shipped on my media people. Real people is an added challenge for these candidates. Janet is there a question that you would love to be asked that has not been asked yet . Mary anne why are you running for president . Running for president is personal for most voters, but most people have not asked that question. Ob just said that media people are not real people. Janet lets go to bill weld. Our libertarian Vice President ial candidate, our former governor. He is inserted himself into the party fray. Can this make a difference in november . Mary anne no, he is getting off the titanic before it sinks. If trump wins, he wants to make sure he is not linked for it. And no one else. Rob i think i said, and marianne said a few months ago, when people said, will they get to 50 and be a player in the race . We said no, and answer today is still no. It doesnt matter that he is changing. If anything, their intent is not working out, they are splitting votes off for Hillary Clinton. Cameras men capuano prefer that the ticket be flopped. Mary anne i dont know if bill weld would have done any better. He lost the senate race, he lost the race for governor in new york. Rob gas in a tank of political campaigns is money. If you dont have money, you dont have gas in the tank. Even if bill was on top, they did not have the money. Ed the voice of Elizabeth Warren seems to be echoing lottery and latter as we get closer to the elections. Donald trump thinks it is smart for him not to pay one dime. What kind of a man does that . A selfish, little sleaze ball who will never be president of the united states. Ed the senior senator from massachusetts just said of a president a candidate, he is a selfish, little sleaze ball who will never be president of the Elizabeth Moran says what she means and means what she says. It drives him crazy, and that is the thing with Elizabeth Warren. She can say think others cannot say and get away with it. Ed will she bring out the progressive vote, which clinton needs . Rob she will not. The limited applause after that shows you the problem. Getting these progressive Bernie Sanders voters out for Hillary Clinton is like pulling teeth. Their own. They are not motivated by Hillary Clinton. Mary anne they are motivated by fear of donald trump. Janet bill clinton shockingly admitting the effectiveness of obamacare. 20 million more people have health care and then some people are out there busting 60 hours a week lined up with their premiums doubled and the coverage cut in half. Its the craziest thing in the rob bill clinton is telling the truth for one thing, which is making democrats uncomfortable. He was the x factor for Hillary Clintons campaign. They wanted to keep them in the box. Generally, they had done a good job of that, but this is a slipup. Mary anne both bill clinton and Hillary Clinton have said obamacare needs to be improved. Most democrats a that as well. Speaking to, that is right. Could he have done a better job of it . Sure. Ed i want to talk about the New Hampshire senate race. Kelly ayotte had a fun debate against governor maggie hassan. She was asked if donald trump is good role model for children. Here is what she said. Would you point to donald trump as a role model . Believe he can serve as president , so absolutely. Ed let me say two things. I think she was hesitant giving the answer, and then secondly, she said she misspoke. Mary anne she had to the viewer chances to clean up in the debate and she didnt. Three hours later when she realize the huge mistake she made, and she has been checked to clean up ever since. She spoke the truth and will pay a price for it. Rob she would have been better off saying no. She has a good chance to win still, but this was a big mistake. Fios is not cable. Were wired differently. So we wired the wagners house with 100 meg internet. Which means that in the time it takes mrs.

Janet after three scandals at the statehouse, Charlie Baker fires two more members of his administration, five total suspended and fired. Any longterm political repercussions . Mary anne so right now but if there are more development, there could be. Rob no, but the Democratic Political machine has been asleep. Ed which brings us to best week. Mary anne maggie hassan, christmas came early after a kelly ayotte misspoke. Rob mike pence. Trump was nosediving this week. He pulled a parachute a little takes credit for that. Ed best week is tom brady returning today. I just want whats best for my kids. When i hear arguments that massachusetts needs more Charter Schools, i think what about the students in all of our schools . Every new charter takes away more money from the existing public schools. Thats 400 million dollars, just last year. We cant afford to drain even more money from our kids schools because theyre already losing so much. S, too. Please join me in voting no on question 2. Joe plaia every three days, someone in New Hampshire is killed with a gun. Mothers, sons, friends. And yet kelly ayotte continues to play political games instead of making New Hampshire safer. When she has the chance to strengthen background checks, she voted no, backing the Washington Gun lobby instead. Then on a bill to keep suspected terrorists from getting guns, ayotte flip flopped. Kelly ayottes become another typical washington politician today on matter of fact are you tired of debating . I will finish my sentence if i can. A nation weighing our future. Isnt this a discussion . 30 days to go in a blistering campaign. I would like to know when theyrt soledad is chicago the laboratory for solving the nations most in trench problems . I am Soledad Obrien and you are watching matter of fact. Sunday nights second president ial debate offers another chance for the candidates to address the most important challenges facing communities, policing in america. That topic took center stage in the National Debate during the
