-- -- We all -- the storing the liberal Hollywood elite is coming out in full force for President Obama here is actress Sarah Jessica Parker in our latest data supported the president's policies.

Okay the guy who ended the war in Iraq the guy who says he should be able to marry anyone you wind and the guy who created four million new jobs that -- and President Obama and Michelle.

-- into my house for dinner on June 14.

A wonderful.

And that's not the only event he's attending tonight in New York City after his -- with pop -- President Obama heads to the Plaza Hotel to an event headlined by sing -- Mariah Carey.

All of us as the -- -- -- fault us.

Jason -- Tara all the all the Hollywood hypocrite -- via.

Just one of the people who's hosting one of these fundraisers is -- -- -- the matter of new look.

I thought he was in the doghouse because of what -- said about Bain Capital and Mitt Romney well you're right out the Obama administration's that he was dead two -- for taking on their their rhetoric against -- Kaplan on the venture capitalists.

But it's okay he's not -- to them if he can help them raise 40000 dollars a plate.

-- to helping keep pace of Mitt Romney but you don't interest -- -- part you played the commercial at the end of it she says we need him.

Speaking of Obama and he needs us I don't think there's been a president in modern history that's been so reliant on Hollywood yes to raise some money and having an emotional appeal to -- -- is astonishing to -- agency the president getting money in such a big way so frequently from Hollywood celebrities and you know we've asked the question.

-- frequently on this program.

Does it look -- you can bring in money.

But does it bring in votes -- that -- -- its.

Susan I think big over for dinner like how the present what is second the young people now production staff Jason gonna bring into the -- -- They say it will look.

Now celebrity is all popular -- a celebrity culture and it will bring in votes notice it in it in that culture infatuated with celebrity these people have way too much political influence and worked in 2000 they will work to the same degree in 2012.

I don't think we'll have the same effect but he needs Hollywood.

-- -- his record he cancer reelect me selecting eviscerate forty more percent of your net worth so he -- people who have the connection.

Two people on the big screen and that's where Hollywood comes -- to.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- mentally I'm really an entire generation because in incidents like and that's did that aren't I'll I mean beyond I have used an episode of teen mom recently.

MTV you lost your way too many ignorant asses off I forty.

Then -- TV but the majority they're not -- But listen the people that the people who are or what will not be -- by celebrities not watching Fox Business but there's plenty of them especially the youth demographic.

Who take their.

Marching orders and political cues from.

The likes of Sarah Jessica Parker and the Johnson which have called us and -- we've -- -- culpability it is on the floor of the exchange a youngster who wants to weigh in on this subject now let me ask you straight up McCall.

It it when the president gets he gets money from these celebrities we golf -- Do those -- sway votes bring in vote.

-- -- I'm -- now and say yes I do -- as much as I'd like to believe the American people are extremely intelligent which they are.

They are also influenced.

By celebrity this is why it is so important when we watch these great athletes to be great in role models for little children as Smart as everybody is there's still so influenced by these celebrities -- -- celebrities and attain -- There's status because of something that they've achieved so people at anything -- and they don't.

This barely a 100% vote -- celebrities however it does bring out -- voice and bring out an advantage to a certain sort just because it brings the point home.

Boy this Jason and -- young people have a very very high rates of all employment in this country.

Young people leaving college can't get jobs and that's saddled with -- enormous student debts aren't why all these people affected by celebrity is telling them to vote for Obama more of the same I don't get it.

I really I don't get it it's not.

-- I get what I just know that that their plight in that the president is more sympathetic to their -- not that he's creating their plight or is making it harder for them to achieve their dreams must end and actually it's more pathetic than his thing.

My theory is is that he's that any -- gonna vote for Obama is gonna vote for bomb I don't think that hey I'm gonna -- remit but not answered Jessica Parker doesn't like them I'm gonna switch it.

So what effect independents -- or Republicans it affects turnout.

And and that's essentially the way it is.

Wolf turnout is as strong amongst young people as it was in 2000 out not not at not at all because of the fact is you outline high unemployment.

Amongst younger voters then having to pay off these enormous side -- with their college college tuition but but still.

-- it's important to realize that they do take cues from from celebrity just the fact that 44% of Americans generally approve.

President Obama and want another four years of what we got and that's astonishing number so therefore you get us our Jessica Parker you get other celebrities like -- Mariah Carey Alicia Keys you get other folks like Jay-Z it's almost free concerts and it could move the needle in key swing state.

-- 2008 the reason Barack Obama -- Hillary Clinton.

In in places like Indiana North Carolina.

On -- and even John McCain in Ohio who's hosting free concerts were Bruce Springsteen and Dave Matthews and we'll Brian James was was opening up these concerts for him I mean these people are are looked as role models and it's going to get people registered to vote.

And hopefully doesn't get them to -- vote for.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- We'll get out they get them mislead the public that was she was talking about the four million jobs I mean that's an indirect bid gets essentially lied to the public whereas maybe an official presidential cut commercial couldn't answer that -- get away with that not everybody good stuff indeed from the youngster himself Jason Tara thanks for joining us look good stuff -- --
