This past week we've seen a real tough courtship.

For the youth vote.

But if -- remember Iowa in 20072008.

The with the youth who helped President Obama.

Then beat Senator Hillary Clinton in Iowa and in other states is so I think it's primary to the primary right and what I'm saying is youthful and that we organized get out.

Committed.

I think if they don't statistically -- to -- that look right there at eighteen to 25 statistically did not -- They're they're gonna ask anything if I like the enthusiasm is fun and you're right they like to think like the fight -- like to be anti cultural.

But any -- and did they get into the Booth and vote no seniors get into the Booth -- -- So there's a big questions this week if we break it down and we try to take a look at what might get you the youth vote.

Are we looking at a situation well if you already see President Obama in office you don't feel particularly intense.

About.

-- fight that's going on.

If you're angry with hand.

Where do you take -- -- you you're probably not gonna swap parties' privacy you know.

I mean maybe if you're you don't look like climate and you go -- -- And it's going to come out of the house I think.

Well I think he's trying to get to -- -- the house and and that's why somebody's campaign about is gonna start to get people more active solitary member of the majority of our grassroots activists all over the country are -- people.

This -- about -- talking.

Well they have free time it's configured.

Did you read a statistic yesterday one -- two.

Does not have a job right what -- They have a -- tell Ryan a bit flat because he's been in every time -- -- probably -- -- -- at this point and so I'd do him that's not fair.

-- he has he has a lot of young people.

I've been out talking on college campuses and I know that they're Romney groups on those campuses which I'm surprised I was surprising.

So will say we haven't it hasn't been brought the nation maybe you are in the know you know of the rest of us have to get some of the -- -- -- that we can say it's out here.

But I do believe that the president.

You know it's a tough time.

Incumbents usually.

Have to deal with that weight -- I had to attract guests on yesterday just like -- -- this is a huge.

Hugely successful fundraiser store for you probably familiar with show.

Has raised a lot of money for Democrats in the last forty years.

He's helping some US congress members try to keep their seats right now he said -- don't really see any problems were falling down the road -- -- just -- you do.

What I believe what happens and you know the country I remember I was part of -- always anti bush army.

And you know I've never underestimate the power of people who dislike -- president.

Them rallying to someone else with no matter who it is and so you know with with the Tea Party gains when he ten I think there's a the Republican Party has become much.

Much more of a strident party in my opinion very sort of focused on.

You know -- core Republican political values and I think that's an extreme but we'll get the base riled up and so I think we're gonna have a tough time because.

You know we have our president so happened that we are getting reelected as I go get reelected is not the same thing as putting him in office and so we're gonna have some advantages of -- -- You there's something else you forgetting what you don't Occupy Wall Street.

And that has been adopted by a whole lot of people the unions and a lot of you know the Democrats Occupy Wall Street people like I can't -- they have -- -- benefit PR spokesperson.

I don't know who she is.

I -- -- emails on my off time on the weekends.

-- people can really reach out as a reporter I'm wondering are these two what do what do they want.

Who they vote for.

I think they'll be available for Obama wants to you know simple I would I would agree with this long ago after -- -- 99% hurt now.

Well sure it.

And -- 99% group -- exactly who's backing Romney if you look at figures.

Yes the ones -- widest audience on Wall Street pocket because Occupy Wall Street is the for the difference in philosophy Occupy Wall Street is basically an anarchist type of movement.

And now look at what they did here in New York.

Look at how look at their attitude toward the new York city police when the police said OK it's time to leave the park what do they do they -- leave the park.

There's some put some -- guy whose house they moved into and tore apart people -- house he came home and found this house was torn apart by Occupy Wall Street.

There they are and essentially.

People who do not respect then the rule of law.

And that's what I define it as as someone who is working against and the structures of our culture and our society so I have.

-- translates to me as an anarchist.
