Republican vice presidential nominee Paul -- is also the chairman of the House Budget Committee.
He -- the house approved budget plan today both Republicans and Democrats quickly jumping out that plan -- a hot button topic.
Our president Michelle Bachmann joins us nice to see you good to see you Greta I'm you agree that -- Democrats -- see that as they have as a point.
Huge disagreement and appoint to debate.
Well no no doubt about it but -- -- we're coming from a much better planned because we know for without a doubt that Medicare will be dead flat broke.
Paul Ryan has a plan to save at the same is true with social security and so you can go the Obama way the Obama plan is bankruptcy for senior citizens.
The Ryan Romney plan will be to save it and save it as quickly as possible and that's a very positive strong -- Well probably even like I guess is -- random but the but the reason we never could serve reconcile the Obama -- Obama plan and they Kotchman.
Ryan plan is because senator Harry -- a pocket veto and he never -- -- -- -- -- was basically done -- -- we never actually got to discuss anything.
Was -- years and years but it has been discussed in the media but I wanna tell you about an example I was in the east room of the white house with Paul Ryan the Republican members of the House of Representatives.
We -- with President Obama.
Paul Ryan stood up and asked the president and it states Mr.
President.
What's your plan for solving Medicare because it will be dead flat broke and he asked him three times the president mumbled -- -- two answers.
But on the third time the president said Obama care.
And I would -- mansion Greta that most of your listeners don't know the president Obama's plan to deal with Medicare.
Is Obama -- and if there's one thing I know senior citizens do not want obamacare they prefer to have what they know what appreciate which is Medicare.
Paul Ryan is the only one in the united states of the troop plan to save medic.
Except -- that many amenity elderly don't like the planned that day.
Congressman Ryan is introduced because essentially about -- planning this a lot of -- -- this that the L they don't like about that plan.
And I think that's because it's been demagogue but I think this is Paul -- chance now and governor Romney's plan to show as seriousness a person's purpose.
That's why Paul Ryan is so well respected from all quarters and why you see people just ecstatic today.
He's such a good choice because this show as we will be concentrating on issues and we have a positive solution is an aspect I was thinking.
In the watchword for President Obama -- forward that's the word for his campaign but the Romney Bryant ticket is the -- word.
Ticket I can outlet next I'll raise you one more little piece of trivia forward happens to be the -- model of the -- of -- some.
And -- -- TrailBlazer in a perfect I don't after they hit the -- let me ask you about the the women.
The -- President Obama is crashing governor Romney by the by the latest polls with the women vote for instance in the state of Wisconsin.
59%.
President Obama 36%.
Governor Romney and go through all -- swing states -- have.
Virginia's 54 to forty -- these numbers are incredible Pennsylvania 59 to 35.
Why do you think they had governor Romney as least on these polls are struggling with the women -- because -- -- -- it's been what 50% of the vote.
I think this again is -- Paul Ryan is gonna -- Play a very strong voice because what he is talking about a shoring up the economy.
And creating millions a high paying jobs and there's two things that women are very concerned about right now.
It's the high price of gasoline and -- high price of groceries that's what mom still -- every day groceries and gasoline.
Gasoline doubled under Barack Obama from a dollar 81 a gallon to over three dollars and seventy cents -- a lot of part of the United States take a look at groceries they have been skyrocketing.
Those two areas moms get and I think women as Paul -- continues to make his case they're going to see that with Paul -- and governor Romney.
We're gonna get back to toot our gallon gasoline or somewhere in that neighborhood of Barack Obama has his way his energy secretary wants to see eight dollars a gallon so when people go into the voting both of what do you want.
Two dollars a gallon for gas or eight -- I think that women get that very quickly and I think this will resonate and now's their chance to make their case but now that the tickets complete.
I would tell you that in looking at the strategy at least on front of the Obama look pres Obama campaign -- last couple days.
It's been the war on women.
And then he has which is -- fake it's a baby when there is no war on -- -- -- -- -- way in maybe it's it's that question -- out of whether something is if there is a fake or not it's whether or not it is resonating or daughter having its intended of fact.
Even today if you look at president Obama's Twitter account and he has eighteen million plus people is better -- It was all had as many as you have a right.
Except I was a rapid succession of emails about issues have -- with women whether it's abortion or whatever.
-- is it stunning that the the campaign is zeroing in on the women I think because they've seen these polls.
And because more than 50% of the population is women and because more women have voted -- in the presidential campaign since 1980.
Well and your point's well taken because women are there the decision makers are the ones that buy health care in the family they are they pay attention.
When it comes to the voting both women are checked out their checked and when it comes to the politics.
And that's why I think now the we have Paul Ryan on the ticket he's a young family man and I think he's going to have a lot to say together with Mitt Romney.
Their plan is the plan that is going to be creating high paying jobs that's what women want.
-- -- tax lawyer in your former career.
Governor Romney has refused to -- says he -- it would release -- two years of tax returns there's a lot of outcry from the Democrats have got.
They the pounding him on whether it's fair weather it's not fair and the still is politics.
Should be released more tax returns.
Well absolutely not -- that's number one that's irrelevant and I think what I -- number of people say back home lisle and Hahn Minnesota's why -- Barack Obama release his transcripts -- when he was in college a little town and -- Harvard and the reason why is because.
What why wouldn't he obviously if you're accepted into Harvard.
You must've had pretty good grades at Columbia aren't occidental why not.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- How he has been very Smart and business we want someone's who's who's successful Paul Ryan is a successful individual and he has a plan to be forward.
Pres Obama's rhetoric is one thing but he has demonstrated results are back where it leaning and I think that's are going to be hearing hearing talk about.
How people's lives will personally be impacted how women are gonna be a lot better off -- seniors are going to be a lot better off under Paul Ryan and that -- They aren't today under -- -- bot Obama -- so I think that's really what this'll be out that's good.
Issues issues issues that's good -- sent -- -- -- I see it everything I had actually on Saturday night thank you thank you.
