In the meantime we're gonna get some of the other news of the day and that includes -- -- interview with Paul Ryan and Mike Wallace Sunday primetime coverage and you just sat down with private Ryan.

It may do little news on that subjects.

That you heard -- grievous.

Give such importance to which is -- the nation's debt I mean that they obviously the Republicans consider this a significant it was the very first order of business here to show the nation.

Where we are right now and how much debt were going to -- just in the course of the next few days.

Talk for a while Megan you've heard Paul Ryan on the trail talking about this about the debt about the deficit.

I asked him at one point about congressman Ron Paul who often talks about the debt and deficit and defected -- Ron Paul wasn't endorsing Mitt Romney -- there.

At this convention and if he had a message.

Not to the Paul supporters and the congressman Paul and we have that -- -- -- -- Yeah we got a -- -- And we -- -- on a lot of issues we believe in sound money we believe in limited government would -- an economic freedom.

Would -- in the founding principles.

We believe that this is a watershed moment for America.

Whether or not we're gonna reclaim the American -- we're gonna become you know what cradle to grave welfare state which is where I think the president is taking us.

So I think in the final analysis Ron is clearly -- -- he and his supporters should be very comparable with us runs a front I'm on -- long time in congress.

And so at the end of the day it's a choice between the president's failed leadership.

The big government that he's offering the borrowing that he's offering the spending -- regulating that is offering what shall give us a stagnant economy a Lost Generation not just lost decade.

And the Mitt Romney Paul Ryan plan of reclaiming our founding principles getting back -- economic freedom and liberty and reviving this economy.

We talked a lot about specifics about taxes about you know Medicare about foreign policy and then he got personal as well.

That is hitting him put it in mid terms of the watershed moment.

The risks are a Lost Generation I mean they're trying to give it sort of the big picture as we go into a big week for the Republicans here.

Exactly and the fact that they started with that that clock even though they're very concerned about tropical storm Isaac in the hurricane.

But they wanted to point that out at the very beginning I think they'll be coming back to that -- throughout this.

The entire convention because really that's the difference they're going to say the president hasn't led on this issue at all.

And he doesn't have a plan.

And they'll say Romney and Ryan do -- do we have that time for a second semi.

I asked him about his age you know because he's 42 and he looks very young.

And I said famous you know just like that set up -- -- -- it is -- -- look very honest if you look behind you but I take part knowing that you're just a little effect.

And I civil what do you say to people who are a little concerned about.

You know you're a young guy could you be president.

Would you be vice president histories.

We've had plenty of presidents in their forties vice presidents in their forties.

-- and congress fourteen years.

-- -- more experience than -- Obama did coming in office.

People know who I am that -- if you want to understand me.

-- this -- not trying to be anybody other than who I am.

And prodded by record in congress.

I'm proud of the principles that built this country and what I want to do is make sure that we re apply those principles so we can revive that the American dream to get people back on the path about the.

And I talked about his dad we talked about his family -- -- interviews you wanna tune in tonight and then did you read too crass and pinch his cheeks in Janesville about at the I couldn't get there.

You suffer from the same problem because you have that boyish face to -- and that's right you know you're saying when you first took over for -- the -- Fella he needed a few more gray hair I noticed on the make -- -- -- -- we should paint these -- something and end -- exactly the opposite effect of.

I want to point out here.

Your preparation can -- this is migrated this -- -- the five Brothers.

Are here.

And this is the best you.

That's thank.

So is the Brothers where they're sitting and then you that's Romney's sons and you that's my -- -- -- -- everything you did it.
