-- of course the senator from Massachusetts up for reelection this November -- senator.

They good to see you -- -- edit your making news because you're calling on JPMorgan now we just reported on Jamie diamond the the Chief Executive Officer there testifying on Capitol Hill you're making news because you want.

Jamie Dimon and other people involved in that two billion dollar loss to give up their bonuses.

Well listen back in May when this broke I wrote a letter saying that they have a claw back provision which allows them to in fact do that.

The way you're gonna send a message and make people pay attention is to get their wallets and pocketbooks.

So would that claw back provision you can actually take away the incentives and bonuses for folks who made the mistakes -- -- this.

The slots so what did you learn -- -- yesterday.

Says he came following in the beginning she got a tentative by the end pretty strong.

-- when it came to fight still pushing back against regulation.

Well we have regulation we need to implement the full effect of Dodd-Frank as you know I was the deciding vote on that piece of legislation.

I was tired personally of banks acting like casinos with our money.

And these regulations once fully implemented I think will be certainly effective so I've encouraged the administration to.

Not only do what we've asked them to do when we pass the bill but obviously implement them so these types of things don't happen -- was there.

But I think it'll send a very real message by taking away some of those that bonus money.

Sure you're in a real tight race right now I'm real clear politics has you up over Elizabeth -- by point 3%.

-- we had a team will run last night senator and she would like your job she would like your senate -- and last night on another network she tried to tie you food to what's going on at JPMorgan listen -- this.

One opponent Scott Brown who has been named one of Wall Street's favorite senators.

Has been out there are negotiating.

In secret.

To try to weaken the rules to try to delay the bulls to try to create loopholes in the rules in other -- Those guys have made it clear to Wall Street if you'll elect them they promise they -- stand with Wall Street all the way.

-- -- -- -- -- -- Well it's funny and when you're running for elective office especially high elective office.

It really you have to pass a test and test is about truthfulness and credibility and honesty.

And quite frankly she's failed that test as evidenced by her.

Claiming to be a native American and checking the box and making misrepresentations.

To not only Harvard -- -- And it's no different here she she can rewrite Iran history but she can't rewrite mind.

It's very clear that I was the deciding vote and proud to be so.

As matter of fact I remember her being on the White House line saying this is the strongest bill in three generations.

I'm not quite sure what's changed the death.

Rally it has and as I said that she's failed that test.

You know it's interesting how she's criticizing you for that because it would seem to meet at your stance on this is actually.

May be against what Republicans would feel a -- for the most part it yes.

And so -- you know my questions -- is are you did you have this stance because you're in a state like Massachusetts where as a Republican.

You have to have more independent views to be a lot.

It will listen on the second most bipartisan senator in the United States senate -- 54%.

Of the time -- my party ever and also my delegation dollars and 97 or above.

And there's no secret as to why I've been in the White House most recently was my insider trading bill that was signed I was honored to be in the Rose Garden when he -- that.

My crowd funding bill which allows for new -- up opportunities for businesses to raise up to a million dollars on mind.

This this election's about the economy jobs and the economy and I am not going to be raising taxes I want to address our debt I don't want more regulations.

I'm not a jobs destroyer like professor Warren wants to -- that we need to focus on the economic issues that that matter for people of the middle class in every class we need to continue to work as I've done since I've been here -- many many years prior to that.

Well I'd you know obviously today about your professional -- your political career and the racer in right now a lot of people want to -- -- value this and and -- right now talks about.

US almost like a mr.

mom when your wife doing a morning shell and -- got -- -- -- to 130 from what you deal knowing you have two daughters in the house.

Well I do whatever you can do to get them ready for school it was pretty funny a lot of times and they say okay let's get ready -- let him go up on their Roman they'd be all -- mixed matched and I did bend them over with the hair and they go like this -- put fairness scratching to come down.

Looking like pebbles but we have a very positive relationship where a team in.

Jail is is very obviously being married almost 26 years in the kids there the most important thing in my life and I'm I'm so thankful to have their support.

That's nice view and course with your wife -- -- morning show assignment she would could you know get up to go to work a 1:30 in the morning that means everybody's kind of quiet.

-- over the last 6 o'clock -- And you you all know that we know kind of was like you know -- -- -- -- -- so what -- -- what your Father's -- plants -- -- -- -- -- Athlon in the morning and then Gail I think and a -- Taylor whose home is going to be they're going to be coming in and wanna spend some time I'm gonna go see my -- he's been.

Battling parkinson's so I'm gonna spend some time with him and then.

-- a parade and then spend some time with the family so probably number in the honey do list as it does a lot of my time at.
