ED:
[
WELCOME BACK TO
OTR WE
REACH THE. POINTOF THE ROUND
TABLE.
REPUBLICAN MARION MARSH WITH A.
GOOD TO SEE YOU GUYS.
--REPUBLICAN MARYANNE MARSH
WITH
US.
JANET: WHY ARE THEY ALSO ENOUGH?
-- ALL SHOWING UP?
IT
THEY ALL MISS HIM WHEN HE
WENT AWAY SICK EARS AGO, THEY
REALLY MISSED HIM NOW.
HE COULD WORK WITH EVERYONE AND
GET EVERYONE TOGETHER.
JOHN MCCAIN WHO IS SPEAKING
TOMORROW, HE CAN PUT THEM IN
THEIR PLACE.
JANET: IS THIS JUST A POLITICAL
GESTURE, THE REASON WHY
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ARE
SHOWING UP?
THIS GOES BACK TO OLD-SCHOOL
WASHINGTON, THEY HAD FIGHTS ON
THE FLOOR BUT THEN WENT OUT AT
NIGHT AND HAD A COUPLE OF DRINKS
AND GOT ALONG.
TED KENNEDY WAS PART OF
THAT
GENERATION OF WASHINGTON.
SOME WOULD SAY WE NEED TO GET
BACK TO THAT.
I THINK THAT IS WHY WE HAVE THIS
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT.
ED: REMINDS ME OF WHAT VICKI
KENNEDY JUST SAID IN THE
INTERVIEW WITH HER, IT IS NOT
FAR TO REACH ACROSS THE AISLE.
JANET: ALSO, YOU POINTED OUT THE
IRONY, THE FACT THAT WHAT THE
STATE OF WASHINGTON IS TODAY,
AND WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO
ACCOMPLISH AT THE IN TWO TO.
THAT IS THE
THING, WE ALL
KNOW HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS, AND
THEY ARE LEGENDARY.
HOW MANY PEOPLE COULD GET
EVERYONE TO COME TO BOSTON IN
MARCH?
ED: I DO NOT WANT TO THROW WATER
ON THIS, BUT IS THIS A VANITY
PROJECT?
SURE IT IS.
PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED WE ARE
SPENDING THE FEDERAL MONEY ON
THIS.
OF COURSE WE AND THEM ON
PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARIES, BUT EVEN
TOP SENATORS HAVE A LIBRARY THAT
THE NOSE.
THERE IS SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT
THAT, BUT IT IS A BENEFIT TO
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
I HAVE BEEN IN THE SENATE
CHAMBER THEY CREATED.
I THINK IT WILL BE A GOOD
ENGAGEMENT FOR STUDENTS AROUND
HERE.
CIVICS IS REIMBURSED SIZE, AND
WE NEED MORE OF THAT.
I WOULD RATHER NOT HAVE PUBLIC
MONEY WENT ON THAT, BUT IT IS
HERE.
ED: 38 MILLION SPENT ON IT.
THAT IS AN AWFUL LOT OF MONEY.
I AGREE WITH ROB
.
THERE ARE A STONE'S THROW AWAY
FROM THIS WHO WILL NEVER BE IN
WASHINGTON, D.C., NEVER GO TO
THE SENATE, YET THEY CAN GO TO
THE SCHOOL BUS AND LEARN ABOUT
THE SENATE.
THEY CAN ENGAGE IN CIVIC
DISCOURSE.
THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
ED: $38 MILLION PUT INTO
IT, WHY
IS THERE AN ADMISSION CHARGE?
BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO MAINTAIN
IT.
WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO AND
TOUR IT, WHEN YOU HEAR THE KINDS
OF THINGS THEY WANT TO
ACCOMPLISH, IT IS WELL WORTH IT.
JANET: THERE HAS BEEN AN
ABOUT-FACE IN POLITICS.
WE BELIEVE NOW IS THE TIME
,
2024 WITH LIKE TO PROPOSE A
REFERENDUM.
JANET:
BOSTON 2024 MAY NOT SEEM
LIKE POLITICS BUT ALL ABOUT
POLITICS.
TRYING TO CHANGE THE
CONVERSATION, PLAYING HUMBLE
PIE.
WILL THIS STRATEGY WORKED LITTLE
BIT BETTER?
THEY HAVE BEEN FORCED INTO
IT.
THEY WANTED TO PAY FOR OVERALL
OF THE OPPOSITION AND JUST DO
THIS IN.
THE OPPOSITION KICKED UP.
NO BOSTON 20 OR.
OTHERS HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB AT
THAT.
THEY'RE ALL REALLY GOOD
QUESTIONS ABOUT STATE SPENDING,
COST GOING OUT OF CONTROL,
FEDERAL ENDING.
IT IS GOING TO BE HARD FOR THEM
TO GET THIS PASSED.
JANET: WILL THEY REGRET A CHANGE
IN POLICY?
LET'S HOPE NOT.
WHEN THEY HAVE DROPPED AS MUCH
AS THEY HAVE IN THE POLLS IN THE
PAST EIGHT WEEK, THE BOTTOM HAS
DROPPED OUT.
THEY LOST ALL OF THEIR
CREDIBILITY.
THEY HAVE TO REBUILD TRUST.
PEOPLE THEN HAVE TO BELIEVE
THEM.
THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST
CAMPAIGN LAUNCHES I HAVE EVER
SEEN.
FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO WIN THIS,
WHETHER IT IS OA
MARCH
PRIMARY, A LOW TURNOUT OR GO TO
NOVEMBER WHEN ONE OF THE LARGEST
TURNOUT IN THE COUNTRY TURNING
OUT AND HAVING THIS ON THE
BALLOT AS WELL.
THERE IS SO MUCH AT STAKE AND SO
MUCH AT RISK.
I AM NOT GOING TO A THEY ARE NOT
GOING TO DO IT, BUT THEY COULD
HAVE MADE IT HARDER FOR
THEMSELVES.
ED: THEY WANT WASHINGTON TO
FAST
-- TO CUT 15 BILLION TO FIX THE
ROAD.
OBVIOUSLY THAT WOULD COME IN
HANDY FOR THE OLYMPIC.
DO THESE PEOPLE HAVE A VOICE?
THERE IS NOT A CITY OR TOWN
THAT DOES NOT NEED MONEY FOR THE
ROADS.
TO SHOW YOU HOW BROKEN CONGRESS
IS, THEY PROBABLY DO NOT GET THE
MONEY THIS YEAR, BUT WILL HELP
THEM WITH 2016 AND MAY GET
THE MONEY THEN.
--MAY GET THE MONEY THEN.
