REPORTER:
WHEN IT COMES TO THE
2016 PRESIDENTIAL RACE,
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES ARE
JUMPING IN FASTER THAN KIDS TO A
FREE SWIM.
WE ARE ALREADY UP TO HALF A
DOZEN AND COUNTING.
♪
CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THESE FIVE
PEOPLE ALL HAVE IN COMMON?
THEY ARE ALL RUNNING FOR
PRESIDENT.
REPORTER: AND?
THEY ARE REPUBLICANS.
REPORTER: THERE HE GOOD.
ONE IS FROM FLORIDA.
WHERE ARE THE DEMOCRATS?
REPORTER: IT IS TOUGH.
YOU HAVE TO SUCK UP THE MONEY
AND THEN KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO
LOSE IT.
I WISH MITT ROMNEY IS GOING
TO RUN.
REPORTER: HE IS SURPRISINGLY ONE
THAT WILL NOT.
CAN YOU NAME ANY?
RUBIO, CRUZ.
THERE IS A FEMALE.
REPORTER: CARLY FIORINA.
BENJAMIN CARSON DID IT THE
OTHER DAY.
REPORTER: THEY'RE A GOOD.
YOU GOT THE HARDEST ONE FIRST.
HACECK YEAH!
ED: IN HONOR OF THE WELLS
REPORT, LET ME INTRODUCED
THIS MORNING'S ANALYST.
WE HAVE -- AND PATRICK GRIFFIN,
I DO NOT KNOW IF I WOULD SAY
MOST LIKELY.
JANET:
LET'S TAKE CARE OF SOME
OTHER BUSINESS.
THREE MORE CANDIDATES, CARLY
FIORINA, BEN CARSON, MIKE
HUCKABEE.
WHO HAS GOT THE BEST CHANCE DO
YOU THINK, PATRICK?
PATRICK: I AM NOT SURE IF THOSE
THREE DUE, BUT I THINK MY COCO
BEAT MIGHT MAKE A PLAY IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE.
-- I AM NOT SURE IF THOSE THREE
DO, BUT I THINK MIKE HUCKABEE
MIGHT MAKE A PLAY IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE.
I THINK IT IS GETTING TO KNOW
NEW HAMPSHIRE, WHICH IS
DIFFERENT THAN IOWA WITH THE
DEBATES.
JANET:
MARY ANN?
MARY ANN: ALL YOU NEED IS ONE
MILLIONAIRE.
IF YOU HAVE GOT ONE MILLION ARE
WILLING TO FINANCE YOU, YOU CAN
GET THROUGH THIS, AND THAT IS
WITH 20 PLUS HANDED IT, BAD NEWS
FOR THE REPUBLICANS.
PATRICK: MULTIPLE COUNTRIES,
MULTIPLE MILLIONAIRES -- I
AGREE.
ED: LET ME BRING IN CHRIS
CHRISTIE.
HE APPARENTLY WILL NOT BE
INDICTED, ALTHOUGH TWO OF HIS
PEOPLE -- IS THE BRIDGEGATE
SCANDAL BEHIND HIM?
MARY ANN: NOT INDICTED
YET.
THERE IS A REASON THEY SPOKE
PUBLICLY BY SAYING THEY WILL
TESTIFY FIRST AND FOREMOST, AND
BY THE WAY, THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN
DONE.
CHRISTIE IS BEHIND TRON,
FIORINA, -- TRUMP,
FIORINA,
CARSON.
PATRICK: I THINK MARY IS RIGHT,
BRIDGEGATE HAS DONE ITS DAMAGE.
IT MAKES MIKE DUKAKIS'
MASSACHUSETTS MIRACLE -- I DO
NOT THINK THAT TRANSPORTS WELL.
JANET: DUKAKIS
HAD A REAL RECORD
OF SUCCESS.
NOT ONLY DOES CHRISTIE HAVE
BRIDGEGATE
, EVERYBODY
HATES HIM IN NEW JERSEY, HE
CANNOT EVEN GO HOME AGAIN.
HE HAS GOT NOTHING.
LET'S TURN THE SPOTLIGHT
TO
BEACON HILL.
GOVERNOR BAKER GOT THE EARLY
RETIREMENT PACKAGE.
IT IS REALLY A BIG KEY OF
CUTTING THE BUDGET THIS YEAR.
THE QUESTION IS -- CAN HE GET
RID
OF 5000 WORKERS WITHOUT THE
STATE SERVICES?
PATRICK?
PATRICK: MY POSITION ON THAT IS
YES, OF COURSE HE CAN.
THE SIZE OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT
HAS GROWN DISPROPORTIONATELY TO
REVENUES.
WE TALK ABOUT THAT ALL THE TIME.
TRYING TO MAKE
GOVERNORS SMARTER
TO SERVE PEOPLE BETTER.
THAT IS GOING TO MEAN WE ARE
SMARTER ABOUT THE WAY WE RUN IT,
UNEQUIVOCALLY, YES.
MARY ANN: GOVERNOR BAKER WAS
PART OF THE WELLS AND BLUE
SHIELD ADMINISTRATIONS, AND IT
WORKED OUT PRETTY WELL.
IT WORKED OUT
AT THAT TIME.
WHAT BECAME EVIDENT LATER DOWN
THE WORD IS THERE WERE A LOT OF
GAMES BEING PLAYED.
I THINK YOU WANT BAKER TO BE
SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE YOU WANT THE
STATE TO RUN WELL.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING
TRANSPORTATION PROBLEMS
-- BIG CHALLENGE.
ED: LET'S TALK ABOUT JIM
MCGOVERN.
SAY WHAT YOU WILL -- HE SAID HE
WOULD VOTE FOR THE REFERENDUM
AND HE IS A FAN OF THE 11TH
COMING INTO BOSTON OR
MASSACHUSETTS.
PATRICK?
PATRICK: HE IS
A FAN OF THE
OLYMPICS COMING TO
MASSACHUSETTS.
HE HIS DISTRICT IS A LITTLE FAR
FROM BOSTON.
WHAT HE SAID WAS HE WANTS IT TO
BE A "WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN."
THE ANSWER IS -- EVERYBODY WANTS
A WIN-WI
N-WIN-WIN, THE QUESTION
IS -- CAN IT BE FEASIBLE?
I THINK THERE HAS GOT TO BE,
ED, BECAUSE OF IT IS ONLY
BENEFITING BOSTON --
ED: HE IS RIGHT, THOUGH, RIGHT?
MARY ANN: BOSTON
2024 --
THEY HOST THE EASTERN SPRINTS.
BASKETBALL WAS INVENTED IN
SPRINGFIELD.
WHY NOT?
THAT IS A BIG MISTAKE, AND IT
SHOWS YOU THE KIND OF BAD
MANAGEMENT OF BOSTON 2024.
JANET: 243 PAGES --
MARY ANN: CAN YOU REPEAT THAT?
ED: STANDBY.
JANET: THIS IS PRIMARILY A
POLITICAL SHOW, AND I WAS ASKED
POLITICAL QUESTIONS, SO LET'S
START THERE.
THE TOM BRADY POLITICAL CAREER
POST FOOTBALL MAY AT FIRST
GLANCE SEEM DEFLATED, SORRY.
IS THIS A REAL POLITICAL KILLER,
MARY ANN?
MARY ANN: PUT UP OR SHUT UP.
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH
THIS AS I DO THE CLINTON
CASHBOOK.
IF YOU WRITE A 243 PAGES AND
CANNOT SAY WHETHER THE GUY
ABSOLUTELY DID OR DID NOT DO IT,
GO HOME.
THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH LAW,
JOURNALISM, AND THE MEDIA --
PRESENT COMPANY EXCEPTED,
WHERE
YOU THROW OUT ACCUSATIONS, AND
THAT IS WRONG.
JANET: HE HAS A POLITICAL
CAREER, THOUGH?
MARY ANN: HIS NUMBERS ARE BETTER
THAN THEY WERE A MONTH AGO.
PATRICK: TOM BRADY WAS AT LEAST
AWARE OF THE INAPPROPRIATE
ACTIVITIES.
WHAT DOES THAT SAY?
THAT IS A TWO TIMES, THREE TIMES
MORE THAN THE RAY RICE CASE.
PROBABLY HAD KNOWLEDGE.
THAT IS REALLY BAD LAW.
THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A
NONREPORTABLE REPORT, THE WELLS
FINDING.
THE BOTTOM LINE -- THE DAMAGE TO
TOM BRADY'S CAREER HAS BEEN
DONE.
IN A SEVEN BEEN PROVEN GUILTY.
JANET: HIS CANDIDATE BRADY SO
POSSIBLE?
PATRICK: WHO CARES.
I CARE ABOUT HIM AS QUARTERBACK.
