There's -- tonight I want you to meet the folks who have been brought again to perform.
An exorcism.
On the right.
They are misspelled.
And former Florida congressman -- blast.
They you know -- faces get ready for both of them to get -- liberals basis.
First by -- waking up some very young voters they're launching a web show called appropriately enough.
Next generation.
And if you are young hot and bothered they want again that you jazz angry and involved guys welcome to -- the view.
-- ask you first your unleashed now from progressive left jobs -- duties what do you wanna do here.
While -- supplies -- to be with him I think the most important thing.
Being a father of two teenage daughter's 1960.
-- take my experiences take my perspectives and insights on these current issues.
Having been a member of congress and we want to be able to take those current issues to the next generation to the young people and let them know how important it is for them to stand up.
For the future and not just the young people but also the grandparents in the Paris.
So that we can make sure the we're not the first generation that leaves less for a subsequent generations.
You know Michelle young people by and large voted a set at ten of them for Barack Obama.
-- you have an uphill fight ahead.
Now we certainly do but I think that this website in this new -- is really gonna change things look if you.
Watch the news there's so many politicians and -- you talk about.
The current events.
And the way that it affects older generations older Americans are Social Security their Medicare but no one really.
Having massive power Wendy's said older.
I just ahead I just wanted the dollar there it Allen did but got.
So where did tied to explain these issues in terms of how it affects young people because we're the ones -- inherit all of this debt.
Wisconsin talked about spending and spending but no one comes to lessons of how do you feel about that were once we're gonna have to pay for -- we're -- shoulder -- -- I hope I can be a voice for the next generation that's my plan and I'm -- I didn't.
That I have the older but why isn't it hands out unless -- -- the fight.
I don't know -- a compliment.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- How they played this game -- you know how they avoid tough decisions both parties and you are very critical above partisan way they sort of -- their responsibilities.
And you've got a lot of flak for that.
Some argue lost the campaign because of that and you wouldn't see -- principles.
-- to be admired but well it is a reminder how.
What is have to do your party sense because only two years after taking over.
Congress it would take over the house it's seems as if they've forgotten what got them there in the first place.
Well -- you bring up a great point and one of the lessons that my parents taught me.
That I carry -- to my generation and I hopefully can instill -- to the next generation my two daughters is that a man must stand for something you're also fall for anything.
And I think -- the frustration.
So when you see someone as myself that common knows -- the bodies of very has those experiences.
I can team up with someone like the beautiful and talented Michelle feels -- the southern put her dying and you know.
That way we can take that message for the young people we can really get them to be engaged and to understand and they'll take -- he'd taken flak is no big deal for me -- been in combat on this out of a few times.
But it's important that we make sure that this great nation and that which makes -- exceptional that was makes it great the economic opportunities and growth.
And the expansion of wealth not did demonizing of people being able to have opportunities to do well.
We -- make -- those things a pass on to the next generation that's we're gonna talk about here.
Well you're dead on the web that draws more young people was a proportion than any other demographic group and itself.
That that's to be complemented but I mean.
I always think what this kinda stuff.
It's treating your audience with respect whether.
Over the web or on cable -- broadcast.
They're not idiots that just days of the do with the same with the business has.
It just because you're not proficient -- doesn't mean you can't understand it.
And I think we eat it it it's important whatever you guys do you don't need any nickel and -- advice from may but.
It's important to focus on the nickel and dimes and how much -- spending and where that money's coming from or not -- have actually.
How do you intend to do that.
Well look I think a lot of young people are outraged right now I mean if you look at Occupy Wall Street how apathetic -- that people are.
So that outrages Daryn that apathy.
But -- -- -- is clearly -- builds on.
Anger at a system that isn't doing enough for them.
A government isn't doing enough for them so how do you counter that look you shouldn't be asked what the government to do for you how do you address.
What is as we're hoping that we're gonna bring a lot of young folks and who who understand that were trying to and how are them we're -- hear their voice.
And also share you know our point of -- what the solutions should be so yeah having have outrage but the thing is is.
They don't understand the solution they don't know how to fix the problem and so we're hoping to provide them some examples of solution.
Yeah and that's one of the things we're going to be doing and so -- we're going to look at the next generation entrepreneur or as one a look at next generation start -- businesses.
We're gonna talk about some of those impediments of them being able to start the business economic environment the tax policy the regulatory policy.
The failing monetary policy does devaluing our dollar but like you say.
Talk in very simple up facts in terms that they can understand.
And as well we're -- to feature those young men and women out there in the military.
That are making sure that we can have this great nation what -- call them the next generation gardens so that's how we're gonna reach out and touch people.
And get them to understand that they've got to pay attention to the policies emanating out of Washington DC.
Guys -- have you here quick thoughts on some very.
Hot button issues right now I'll leave this to either 11 is that Republicans should hold tight on this debt ceiling thing.
And risk shutting the government down if the president doesn't give on spending yes and.
I gotta say yes on that because if we don't start to self discipline ourselves.
If we do not start to prioritize who -- don't as far as spending.
Look -- once again the letter from the OMB director Jeff presides was sent over to the house senate to Obama administration.
Will miss the deadline for pass sending the budget over and that deadline which is -- -- the fourth is the exact same day.
We're gonna launch the entire next generation to donation also tune in on that -- because we won't miss that suspense.
-- -- -- -- -- We'll look in -- post -- that video I believe about 3 PM Pacific coast time.
-- and its effect from six to.
And it up next generation dot TV -- good as ours are not competing with me.
And that's -- and now we were never going to be counterproductive you know.
You bright a lot of video from -- show and Reagan that young female cheerleader vote but that's just an idea on guys -- -- -- -- -- I wish you go.
Great success you both very good decent people.
And the thing we can do worse than that guys like you pounding a message thank -- desolation and -- does look good luck to you horrible.
