The deficits exploding economic growth apparently slowing.

-- next guest says despite all of -- President Obama will get reelected in get a second -- Jason the terror is -- -- he's the or how about Hollywood hypocrites and he is right here in New York contagious.

You think president Obama's gonna win despite -- -- very -- economic record make you case.

Well I think it's gonna be incredibly tough for Mitt Romney to -- him do I want Barack Obama to get reelected absolutely not why do you think was gonna win I won't know I think it's gonna be I it's going to be very tough Mitt Romney especially if the Republicans once again.

Seed -- the youth vote so you look at Barack Obama every time he's giving a major address now or he's he's at a fund raiser what is he doing prior.

He's speaking on a college campus whether he's in Marilyn or Vermont well that's a friendly audience it's it's a friendly audience -- look at what happened in 2008.

It was because of the -- -- that Obama was able to winning key swing states namely -- North Carolina Florida.

I Indiana and Ohio he's going to bring Hollywood crowd that's going to have free concerts and rallies you can at 1020000.

College students that gonna be there they can register them to vote in states like Ohio you can register to vote and vote on the same day -- -- -- into the voting Booth.

So I want to make sure that Republicans know what they're up against.

Have you heard Mitt Romney actually address that could they issues and concerns of of of younger voters at a talk about how the deficit is affecting their future and unemployment is affecting their future not the so you say it's want Romney he's not doing yes there will lose him the youth vote because of what Obama is busy doing if our if all of Mitt Romney I would actually go to college campuses and -- would have a speech embrace -- embrace your success embrace -- well.

Give a speech like.

Why I'm rich and how you can be rich to you have to have a storm bull contracts to Obama opt out -- my theory is Romney is going to be a Democrat -- And people gonna go for the Democrat then.

But then the president goes to college campuses and he hints and that maybe we can forgive some of those student loans and have built off I'll not it won't say I'll bail you out but I -- help.

Education that's what he was -- -- that's a winner.

It it's Sara -- is.

-- enabling -- -- hope because listen over liberalism promises everlasting child to.

Cradle to grave we're gonna take care of you.

You can stand your parents' insurance toll point six now how do you combat that if your Mitt Romney you don't say well I'll walk you some of those policies but not all of them know you have the go directly to the heart of freedom.

And liberty and show how this administration.

Is ruining your future and then you have to embrace a -- level they understand the -- This show them why even at the show the -- so many these kids are have had to drop out of school with their parents -- -- for their parents lost their jobs these kids are helping at a home.

I think think this generation is so much smarter than we're giving it credit for.

And current polling time I don't think they're gonna fall for that change rock concert again well I hope.

You're right I don't I don't think so because look they're John McCain what do you -- by almost forty percentage points if Mitt Romney cuts into that by say twenty points.

I think would be huge victory before him do I think Mitt Romney is gonna get the youth vote.

Absolutely not be have to bring conservative ideas to manner they understand to -- the leftist talk about shake the rich and -- justice.

OK on the college campus couple social justice when it comes to grade point averages have a redistribution of GPA everyone gets a nice a -- Terry MB.

Young people act well I'm not for that.

You connect with them on a level that they can understand and I just don't -- Republicans don't Boston youth vote eighteen to 25 invested -- -- disappointing night.

2929.

When he -- and John McCain -- that by forty nearly 4066.

The 32.

66 to 32 in in North Carolina with costar.

I'll Barack Obama got 71% of the vote now these are key swing -- -- -- the youthful may only make up eighteen to 29 of the out of the electorate eighteen point 9% of the electorate.

When you win by such sweeping margins.

It's going to help you -- needle you through as a -- you in the youth vote.

-- I am on him I am 2828.

Isn't one -- eight years old.

Well Saturday yeah.

Thank you get value -- -- seven out out I'm not -- it is a good point.

Though because you do go I mean the president does go to college campuses one after another that's where his -- but you're telling me that he does plan a string of concerts.

Bring out the vote concerts -- going to be that'd be that the rock -- are going to be that and if this is all in the world.

Well look just in the last few weeks -- Green was headlining a fund raiser in Atlanta here he Barack Obama had Bruce Springsteen.

He had he had Jay-Z headlining concert.

And I Ohio in what are you saying you when you would like to see Mitt Romney won't get Hollywood and what do you wanna say no I'm saying EPA thing that's not gonna work now well I think it does work when you connect say young voters on -- -- that they can relate to I.

I don't students -- -- If you take that egalitarian -- yeah.

I don't I don't well -- There there are some of those are lost causes -- what I'm saying Mitt Romney should do is embrace free markets embraced capitalism embraces success if he's gonna go and try to offer a solution to that that's gonna -- some of the policies Obama's gonna give a -- version of that old to young people have just don't know profitable for -- bomb but if you explain hey listen I am rich I'm proud I'm rich American made me rich and I don't -- I'm gonna make you rich to.

It's such a bold contrasting have to put the idea in terms of freedom and states -- -- -- it Mitt Romney does not do that I I fear that.

-- young people rarely -- conservative ideas when they do hear those ideas they come across says fresh rebellious and provocative are all things that interest young and hungry are you looking to the Romney campaign now you know well -- -- -- I'll I'll gladly write that speech -- forum why am.

Picture and how you can be managed when it is -- all right Jason lieutenant thanks for joining us and we've picked.
