Back to on the -- -- foxnews.com live time drug daily -- -- he's escaped the -- up a talents policies are actually here in the studio and it was my fabulously exciting I had -- very -- yes yet you need some security measures skills and an earlier you have a lot of fans around here alive screaming young ladies that were -- down car.

They are Dave -- me it's not how you get through being felt almost its -- well it is but I worked out for many years and I find that women wanna talk about purses and shoes and if you know a little bit about that mean then you can have a conversation a much deeper deeper level that's where I think would be having dinner with tonight you know things like that not.

Well on that note let's move on very quickly a problem.

I'm dead -- did -- Saturday morning -- I guess the room a study coming up Friday night then Saturday morning we got the announcement of this obviously anybody who watched.

This show would -- Jim individuals Friday noon brilliance than you already that he was going to be I don't know you didn't post tape that are now trying to pass it off as some kind of in a bleacher it was there alive okay.

Our reality dozens of committed to view as -- a little tested after.

-- they would do everything the media has covered it.

Since then well I think an indication of what is to come if we really need an indication of what is to come -- -- Candy Crowley and CNN who asked the question do the Republicans have a death wish.

Meaning and by putting putting -- on the ticket -- what in the world does that mean why would a reporter being asked asked that question.

The other thing the questions being raised is Ryan too inexperienced to be president.

Well I heard that -- -- fell over laughing not Barack Obama what I experienced enough to be president.

Look we put too much faith and one person when we were too many people don't realize.

-- it -- presidency these days is so large it's an enormous conglomerate.

Although one person is tasked with making a final decision.

There are many many good people if they hire the good people.

To help him or her make that decision -- so I think I think that the idea that we're gonna have just one person as Zeus like sitting on top of -- mountain.

The -- lightning bolts -- policy solutions that was the wrong thing.

Now the other thing I would say is that the last thing the media want.

He is a real solution to problems.

We thrive on conflict.

We want to on the in the shows and -- -- host and two guests one -- the other.

You're ruining America you know to get to know you're ruining America well you're a fascist well you're -- -- what you're up.

Secular humanist when -- -- Bible thumping bigot and -- -- says and we'll be back for more serious discussion after these messages from real people don't communicate like that.

This is probably the most serious consequential election because your what are your previous guest said.

It's really going to deal with policy right the big question is is the public up to it.

And it's a serious consequential.

Pick.

Then in that sense of right well because Paul Ryan is all about policy does nothing I mean he happens coming in the in a decent looking package -- -- -- -- -- but it he would tell because it's a policy in Iraq.

And a -- -- the good looks don't hurt you don't give clearly thrilled to -- -- and here's the thing I hit it is the public ready who is the media ready are the media ready.

The public gorgeous itself on shows like up.

Project -- runway and a reality shows they get that younger people were told get their news.

Mostly from the Leno and Letterman and or or bill morrow or -- Comedy Central.

Are they ready for a serious discussion about their future.

Young people in the twenties and thirties if you don't fix this problem right now if you don't vote for the right person right now.

You're going to be in serious trouble in thirty or forty years are they willing to look to their own futures like that and will the media help them.

Reached the kind of conclusion they need to read what she wants -- view of whether the media will help them know really know until now they won't help at all we're not interested in in debating policy while we have fox are but as far as the big media the New York Times Washington Post and LA times and NBC CBS and ABC.

They're mostly going to be -- -- -- for democratic talking points they're not going to get down into the minutiae.

They rarely do and they're certainly not in this case because again they know what needs to be done to fix Social Security Medicare the driving forces behind dead in this country they know what.

But they don't want -- solvent because to solve it means they'd have to embrace the Republican solutions.

And they want to see Democrats continue to run the government can all right finally as I said you what I did manage to break out of the -- cut your hair in the city and we're delighted to have I with a -- your different something that's kind of important and -- a little -- had.

Well it is Marvin Hamlisch who died last week was a very good friend of mine I had the privilege of knowing him for more than a decade and his funeral is tomorrow New York.

And I'm going to that going to be a lot of Broadway people there and as you know Broadway was my other life but I could make a living at it so I symbol for this.

But hopefully it'll be a joyful occasion in the real sense as well it's quite -- -- to celebrate a really -- -- very creative life no question you know.
