Society that's not.
Now this -- Mitt Romney's response to yesterday's Supreme Court ruling on health yeah.
With the court did not do.
On -- -- stay in session.
I will do on my first day if elected president of the United States.
And that is I will act to repeal obamacare.
Since that statement in less than 24 hours the Romney campaign says it has raised four point two million dollars for the November election campaign.
Jason -- -- is the -- of Hollywood hypocrites and he is via Jason -- is a huge number.
Less than 24 -- big -- ago.
And it's a good for the Romney can't -- it means that that the Tea Party conservative base which -- -- The goal of governor Romney as a candidate is now galvanize both behind him.
Because the only way to defeat obamacare repeal and -- replace it.
Is to get rid of Barack Obama and actually the path because of the Supreme Court decision saying that obamacare is -- tax.
Not just not a penalty the -- to repealing it is a lot easier for Mitt Romney and we we just need him in the White House and we that simple majority.
In the senate and in the House of Representatives because now that it's -- tax issue.
You cannot filibuster tax issued this public good -- the best thing for Mitt Romney but it definitely helps it energize the base because they need and in the Oval Office.
So straighten something out -- here this is a constitutional question I think you know the answer better than I do.
How many votes on needed in the senate to repeal a tax it is now admittedly a tax Foley is all things off taxes.
How many of those do need in the senate sixty county -- simple majority fifty want -- simple majority.
Yes on the tax issue.
-- normally need sixty on every other issue except tax related issues and -- you only need 51.
Okay next question.
All the establish -- media all calling this an Obama victory.
Albeit a legal victory I think they're portraying it as a political victory as well you don't see it that way.
It's a political victory for Barack Obama because it would be good if its signature piece of legislation was overturned -- I'm not gonna say this is what no one big political victory for conservatives.
Especially since it was Chief Justice John Roberts.
Who who wrote the majority opinion inside -- with the leftist on the supreme -- -- now.
But can Mitt Romney pivot and turn it into -- momentum boost for him won't get I remember what he had taken a speech yesterday -- fantastic that you like right absolutely Monica yeah.
Like not yet and here's the key remember when the leftists and Obama were selling obamacare they -- of -- really big deal out of saying obamacare will help the economy it will help job creation.
We know that that was a flat out lie and we've seen the results of this that is destroy the economy or at least help to and destroyed a job creation because of the fog of uncertainty.
What Mitt Romney should be saying is you know what turned out argument on his sentence say repealing obamacare is going to be the thing that helps us economy.
Yeah and I agree I agree there -- notice that I would say that Jason out.
I think the Tea Party needs to devolve right now forget about those sitting on the emails and get back in the grass give it powdered wigs and assigns negative back out and they'll have the rallies usher.
-- god I gotta last for just about I think an astonishing statistic since January 2010.
All 70% of the people hired for jobs with 55 or old.
That's a massive transfer of wealth and voting power to all people away from young people you represent youngsters what do you make of this.
Indeed differences attitude all the work ethic monks all the workers.
Is a lot greater than younger workers I hate to I hate to say but really I think about it has eighteen year old think eighteen year old just -- years ago we're facing down -- see right and and and fascist and Italy.
Eighteen euros today they're biggest concerns oh my gosh my Internet connection is well.
I can't find another person all -- -- way to -- generation of youngsters I mean in our bunch of cities know I'm I'm telling you I hate to think what guess that's a specified generation where we think we're entitled to every -- -- health care student subsidized loans work and then I'm just an.
And health -- get to sit around.
Out in my mommy -- -- -- end up like it all play whatever came council I want to he's still you would Canada and he's really awfully good parent and since units -- you're saying is entitlement society it is the government has created this entitlement society and youngsters all the loses because of its.
They they have that's attitudinal but all -- because politicians who think their financial wizards.
Have made it more expensive to employ teenagers and young adults because the minimum wage -- so you have a down economy.
Eight you're an employer are you go to hire someone who's unskilled and is an entry level position or you can hire some what a lot more experience -- -- have to micromanage what the -- just.
This is all from the last point of view.
This gets your point this is all about expanding the number of people depended on government so you create this entitlement society -- get the kids when when they're young.
You stated that you -- have to work that hard government will take care of you nanny state cradle to grave needs all taking care of its about bringing people into -- -- of dependency.
And in keeping them there.
Air for as long as possible Jason it's thank you very much through it represented the soft young -- -- and -- -- little -- I did you all live find out if you get into Africa -- -- rather speculative -- gentlemen good stuff.
