You saw the -- you saw back in 1980 he's seen it many times on this program.
Do you think that Mitt Romney is the kind of candidate who would pull back kind of thing on the yes.
If he wants to wind that's what he's going to have to do.
He is going to have to take it to the president of the United States and you might run an -- you know basically.
With -- -- -- you think you'd have -- point 2% unemployment with Mitt Romney you think you'd have 46 million people on food stamps.
With Mitt -- go right to the -- right through that whole litany situations.
That we are in in America.
Mitt Romney if he wants to win needs to be direct.
He needs the point -- ads at Barack Obama and he's -- angry.
Will wanted the establishment media say about your dad's -- thirty years ago.
Because you know exactly what they would say if Mitt Romney put a similar ad on TV right now they would just blasted.
They'd say the issue probably hit Tug bombs linger something that's what they would -- move so what does this say about -- debt.
Well they -- -- thing about Ronald Reagan.
But -- Reagan -- let the mainstream media dictate how he was going to run his campaign.
He ran his campaign to win the election he didn't.
Run his campaign to win the mainstream media.
Being confident him and supporting them for the rest of eternity they never supported Ronald Reagan they've never supported conservatives so what -- Mitt Romney do.
Take -- ads that attacked the president attack his policies remind people where we -- and where we are where we need to go.
And if he doesn't do what -- he ends up on the ash heap of history like other Massachusetts up people would run for president.
Now this morning we got news of -- America's income in the month of August down again.
That means that we are now eight point 2% -- up.
How median income middle America eight point 2% lower income -- to four years ago.
Do you think that Mitt Romney is the kind of candidate who would go out and say all you better off than you well for years ago -- copy of that -- on economic policy.
What do you don't have to copy Ronald Reagan how but are you better off today than you were last week.
Or yesterday afternoon who.
Most people are not better off today that they were a week ago because the just the numbers you just gave me just now.
He can change it to fit his style not topping Ronald Reagan style here and beyond the attack.

One New Hampshire -- Reagan got kicked off -- got mad when they shut the microphone off.
Mitt Romney have to believe that the mainstream media shoddy -- microphone off.
And he's got to get mad and he's got to get angry well that's what he's got to do.
That might use all your debt from the inside you saw that 1980 -- from the -- you know what kind of guy you can't Wallace okay now you're looking -- Mitt Romney from the outside admittedly.
What do you see from the outside do you see a guy who is capable of being aggressive.
And taking the fight to his opponent.
At this point not at all especially after yesterday the fact that yesterday he -- -- to spend time.
Kissing the butt of the man who kick his -- Just two weeks ago when Charlotte, North Carolina Bill Clinton why don't see anywhere Bill Clinton no need to do those kinds of things.
He recently got care -- into an election not guilty in the but.
I'll William Jefferson Clinton as -- -- a group of people who would -- never vote for.
In his lifetime -- Reagan didn't waste words and Ronald Reagan did not waste time.
And that's what Mitt Romney's doing and I will tell you.
The people running Mitt Romney's campaign if they don't win this campaign.
They -- should be the ones who leave the Republican Party.
And never return I.
Think that this year this election the assumption media is -- gung ho for the -- for President Obama.
And more and time Mitt Romney they've taken mall sides more clearly this is my opinion.
Than any election on can Manama mall more than a year after I think it was worse -- when you -- was running in 1980 frankly.
All -- you're absolutely you're absolutely correct it has got out of control the mainstream media.
But it doesn't mean now they're out of control actually you sit back and hope you win future a good guy.
You know you don't win because you're good guy you win because -- aggressive and you take the fight.
-- -- You don't sit there and -- -- the mainstream media said this about me I need to hold a press conference and need I need to get to -- the mainstream media's after me.
No he needs to remind America.
Where we are right now and ask those tough questions of the -- United States and bring it home in November.
-- Reagan always a pleasure you know come as soon as next week I trust like human much -- it like you got.
