It's -- -- -- thinking you know.
It just to deal look at these conventions governor today invited four years -- but test.
I let my kids and I stay for years feds hit -- -- I'm a look at these conventions especially the one tonight -- -- Al -- trying trying to hang in there and and they pay attention to what they're saying that the the -- to bump tonight again though in this Democrat national convention and cast I'm just hoping people are believing that growing -- -- -- government allowing and to take more from all of us and that results and take -- where initiative and more and more of our freedoms.
Is the answer.
To you've -- -- -- economic multiple times that wherein the convention bump.
All right I often expect astute point I think just a few minutes ago governor.
John Kerry.
-- I was talking to a guest here.
Seen do you guys do we have an economic wanna let the governor was listed as governor.
The folks Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from Alaska.
Net Mitt Romney -- -- -- he's only see in Russia by watching rocky horror.
I was attacked condescending what did -- -- -- -- diminished himself by.
-- even mentioning my name how does he didn't know my need my -- these guys supposed to be these big wig elites who.
Don't waste their time on the little people.
Like me would be representing.
The average American -- yeah I did say Alaska -- in Alaska you can see Russia from our land base and I was making the point that we are strategically located on the globe and transit transportation corridors and resource of their shared and -- over.
Alaska and I as the governor.
Had known what I was doing in dealing with -- some international issues that he had to do with our resource that can help secure the nation's -- funny that.
You take -- little pot shot like that back up.
One even knows my name.
You know what statistic -- I remember those remarks vividly when you date that I know what context in which she vet them and this same party here that -- -- them wants to give the president some slack.
When he says something about you didn't build that oh you took about a at a contest against what's that.
Good for the goose is good for the gander but.
Curious governor.
This ticket and and if they're very galvanized the very -- as well Republicans last week -- demonize last chatted.
So -- bases for both parties seemed ready to go.
Who do you think it's more ready to go -- Well I think.
I think that there Republicans are more ready to go because we're facing reality the reality is we're on our country is on a road towards bankruptcy towards.
Insolvency.
And we cannot go -- bad words to four more years of what Obama has put us through.
I'm -- it did you know individual -- -- of the economy and when you hear the these speakers in the Democrat national convention these last couple that he days talk about the specific.
Aspects of the economy to talk about patent.
I'll say Republicans want to wage war on women well look it.
-- in the workplace -- eight.
The unemployment numbers have increased fifteen purse it under Obama winner have and a lot tougher time finding a job at her Obama than they had.
Under Republican policies that we're trying to rein in government to let the private sector grow would hire more people.
I'm there are so many examples of these different aspects of our economy.
And how going backwards four more years of -- Obama -- socialist policies will make things even worse.
So it -- baffles me that -- that women.
Waited to be buying into this bond that you're hearing from the speakers these last couple of days I think Smart women know that the status quo is got to go.
And that the numbers speak for themselves I think that the Republicans when we deal with the map with the hard facts with the numbers with the unemployment numbers.
And whipped -- the debt numbers.
And the deficit said numbers that are you don't out of control has been trying to plant we don't have a budget even a blueprint from the federal government -- -- -- that and and you look at what the Republicans have promised to do to change all that I gotta say that Republicans are more prepared to go.
You know what's it just.
Units -- women a governor and yet despite.
Among you and a little -- -- those trying to work of the higher unemployment rates -- at the higher unemployment rate for minorities particularly for African Americans.
The president still has.
More women in in his corner then does Mitt Romney so far the -- He still has a -- on 9596%.
Of the African American vote.
Despite -- that cases fourteen what 50% unemployment rates why is that if things are worse for them on just that statistical levels.
Why are they in lock step if you believe these calls with this president.
-- you hit the nail on the had that statistically.
Did in the we have proof that things are worse for minorities for women when it comes to.
Job availability.
And the private sector being able to grow and thrive -- down.
Allow more jobs to be created that the numbers speak for themselves so.
And I think it's it's probably an emotional.
-- that people -- It in some of these demographics would want to have with this president wanting to give them Phil Collins tried just one more time I it was a shame you know to see.
-- -- The button that had been appetite in fact I think it's not that the front page address today where it says once you go black you never go back.
A racist comment like baptists being celebrated at the DNC this week and I'm sure that this is going to be the take away from this interview.
And it will be yells something that people condemning for for even bringing it -- but dot got it it's very in the -- national convention it's a button that people are weariness celebrating.
Once -- all black you never go back.
Is -- that the people just need an -- -- -- I nights in the but Dayton each.
Eyes and they need to crunched the numbers they need to do -- -- and they need to do what's right for their kids what's right for their kids is devoted and new team of leaders who understand what it will take to turn things around we do not need to embrace the status -- we have much -- We don't need.
To enable and reward that -- policies of this administration we do have a choice.
Governor always a pleasure thank you.
Thank you so much --
