They hold up to reality here now reacting for the first time on our air since this weekend's VP announcement Bryant's previous who is chairman.

Of the Republican National Committee in his two -- great to see you.

I'm told you were listening in to the DNC vice chairman's remarks a moment ago.

What's your reaction to them.

Well first of -- when -- -- I'm coming in from de Moines Iowa we're excited to be here get -- go to the state fair.

So.

We're gonna we might even travel a bit of the fried butter today so do it and -- -- out you know it's my only reaction to arrive back.

I'm sorry what your reaction right back yeah my reaction it.

-- my reaction is is that.

But it's full of deceit and deception I mean the fact is Martha hit the nail on the had any person.

And -- and we're -- we're talking about what Paul Ryan proposed any person in America that is 55 -- over.

None of this discussion has anything to do with the U.

Everything will move on as planned but we're talking about.

Is what we're going to do about people who are my age in their forties and whether you're Republican or Democrat there's one thing that we can agree.

We -- -- that if we do nothing with Medicare.

We're not going to have Medicare as we know it so we know that.

His his responses were inaccurate.

But Paul Ryan proposed is that for those people that are under 54 now that we put -- we put together a system that number one.

Guarantees.

Affordability.

Guarantees.

Affordability yes and this plan does that in other words.

If you want to buy traditional Medicare plan you can do that if you want.

-- plan that's provided by a private insurer and -- can do that I mean this is very simple stuff.

Let me know -- these guys -- here our don't have your facts straight in the last hour we have quite a debate as to whether on the following basis.

Surely.

This pick will energize the base the fiscal conservatives the Tea Party years but will it ten to.

A track or alienate.

The important independent swing voter -- even.

I think it will I think people appreciate the fact that Mitt Romney.

Has a plan to get our economy back on track that they they appreciate his leadership and vision in choosing.

Paul Ryan and I think people are sick and tired.

Of this class this size the Washington mentality that.

Barack Obama has embraced of but he don't shortages in platitudes and nothing really getting any better.

A negative that's where this is Romney people as a talk as a result of some of these ads by the Obama campaign -- me working in some of the key swing states.

-- Florida Ohio Pennsylvania.

Those -- seem to be working his negatives Romney's negatives are pretty high.

Well when you when you lie enough and you put enough money behind it sometimes it has an effect but it's not going to work anymore because now.

The RNC and Mitt Romney are going to be able to -- spend.

Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee so they chose to spend all their money early.

Now we're gonna bring the facts of the American people that they deserve fair about how we're going to get our economy back quick trash can only Mitt Romney.

Is providing solutions to these problem I -- Noticed that -- -- back vice chair Monaco referred to.

-- Paul Ryan in the exact term almost.

As David Axelrod the senior advisor to the Obama campaign Axelrod this morning called Ryan a certifiable right wing ideologue.

Now of course mr.

-- -- he meant that in a disparaging way I wonder if it's just the opposite given the condition of the economy.

High unemployment anemic growth.

Maybe there is an appetite.

For a conservative ideology this election year and maybe Axelrod -- right back actually uttered a compliment.

Well David and the president have they're pretty get a reading speeches and making promises but they're not very good at following through -- -- and at least I think most Americans will agree.

That given the state of our economy given the fact that spending is out of control.

Isn't it every member and of the house and the senate -- and at their responsibility to come up with solutions to problems isn't that what we want.

In this country.

And that's what Paul Ryan is done and Mitt Romney.

Is a leader for taking that message forward -- -- who is chairman of the Republican National Committee great to see you from from Iowa.

I don't don't suck down too many of those deep fried products there at the Iowa state fair -- Enough.

Clinton as half a.
