It -- -- so congressman.

Paul Ryan has been added to the race now obviously ad and the president has.

Added some new attack winds to go -- it tell us about.

Of course -- -- right I mean the president now obviously feels like Paul Ryan is his favorite target.

You've got the Ryan budget plan it's -- target rich environment for Democrats to pick it apart from Medicare.

Two other domestic issues where they say the Republican ticket is gonna focus more on tax cuts for the rich.

And cutting spending on domestic programs the president yesterday came here with some goodies the power of incumbency because there is a really rough drought here the worst that you know -- fifty years.

The president announcing some executive action in order to have the federal government speed up spending on some federal nutrition programs buying up more chicken and pork and -- that -- some of these farmers out but then he prodded congress and named congressman Ryan as a member of the House Republican Conference.

Yeah ideological leader of the Republicans in congress.

I've gotten to know congressman -- he's a good man -- a family man.

And then also went on one of the general election so this is going to be one of those -- states is about 5050 right now he's fighting for it every electoral vote right.
