Politics the media on the and they went oh great fans of Jimmy Carter 1980 but there were more than there's and they were reviewed dead you do -- that and and and -- young sir you're remembering it now.
-- is interesting that years it did before the landslide the polls were -- in fact.
A lot of them dropped the ball so Jimmy Carter leading.

What do you think you can no matter will be the performance Schmitt -- im sorry my friend but -- -- is that.
Even on the right -- they knew Ronald Reagan and they loved Ronald Reagan Mitt Romney's Nomar Ronald Reagan and so I won't have the same end result it's -- cynical.

Talk about the issues really that concerned all of America and what's going on the world where he was president are going to do -- Have my god what do you one better than that I'm Michael -- -- that I would talk about Medicare to I would talk about what you take a look at what's going on here folks.
You do the math folks I mean he's not only -- well these are the numbers I don't know.
Maybe you're right I mean you think I'd just like -- -- -- on defense they're always on -- This is about you know these -- defense about Medicare.
It's still of office about Medicare but the reason this whole Medicare issue comes up is because afford -- -- like one street the controversial how many of you voted.
Smattering hands go up and I think.
Thank you because you I have Medicare because -- you financial security.
Because.

Young people need to hear the message and come out and vote to save their Medicare and -- -- is -- That's -- need to hear the message.
