Did -- -- he's the chairman of the sixty plus association that is a conservative alternative to the AARP.
What do you think you what our -- -- I've been saying this several times on our program today and yesterday.
Most of our view is all horrified at this demagoguery -- -- you Jim.
Well secured its clearly panic time by the Democrats you know when you're losing the senior vote.
You turn -- resort to resorting to tactics like this.
I got to tell you every election cycle this happens time and time again.
I've -- in this -- -- time.
Every cycle they do it I think it's in their DNA if you don't -- -- say and so scaring seniors.
With these type of attacks it's almost comical in a way except.
You know quite frankly it is scary to seniors.
But liquidity -- what do you what is -- Organization stand on the Ryan plan.
For Medicare because that's what this ad was purporting to go again next.
Now the Ryan plan.
Wouldn't touch anybody is Medicare affect anybody 55 or over right now no senior currency -- is affected at all.
What is your organization stand on the -- plan.
I agree with what you just said there were -- whole -- for the Ryan plan for that very reason singers are not touched an all 55 and up in fact.
And -- -- another thing we like about the Ryan plan.
It retails -- Bob -- care which really hurt seniors to cut a half a trillion dollars out of Medicare.
There's a huge doctor shortage on the horizon.
There's rationing on the horizon that's what's hurting seniors.
What quite frankly I've not checked and I should have but I have not checked I don't know whether the AARP.
On the other side of the fence from you.
I don't know whether they're in favor of the Ryan plan or not but I suspect.

And you don't make any profit out of Obama -- or anything else in the -- it's simply a membership organization.
Yeah -- we're we're promoting limited government less taxes we -- there out there hawking them different products.
Make and a half a trillion dollars us the AARP did last year say that again that a half trillion dollars.

Some million probably that it wants a ten million sorry nowadays you know a million billion these numbers -- so -- comical.
It's hard to keep -- I don't leveraged.

Who either say they can't afford to donate to us but they support our ideas we do have over a quarter million.
Financial donors all voluntary.
We don't ask for dues if I let us -- if in someway I would assign up with a sixty plus association -- -- get a discount on life hotel rooms all.
-- -- Not actually you know where and then of course you're too young days for a for them -- even want to offer you this -- -- -- -- -- to -- -- -- -- A lot of child we dedicated by did the age fifty and not just like the AARP does I would quite frankly.
