And Obama back -- -- my next guest was on the stage -- earlier tonight joining me now from the floor of the convention.

Wisconsin governor Scott Walker governor welcome back and huge reaction -- -- tonight will you.

I'm sure you very appreciative.

I was a big you know we don't do it regulates we don't do it looked like we do it gives -- the right thing but it was awfully nice to hear that for the delegates.

You know what governor what are the things you spoke about the speech and I think one of the one of the issues you face his governor -- talked to John -- hit a minute.

We've faced a huge budget deficit.

That you faced unions coming after you play you went directly to the people of Wisconsin and you got bigger numbers than you did in 2010.

Do you anticipate that this is something we can read into that with the selection.

Well I think there's no doubt about it talked about it tonight I think not just in my statement John stated Michigan and Iowa.

Another battleground states particularly in the midwest where what people want particularly swing voters and -- what leadership -- courage to take on tough issues.

We showed it was an accident you've made to show we would buy more books before and I think that's what they want out of Mitt Romney all right and I -- a -- -- -- I don't.

One of the things we're anticipating that governor Crist is heavily -- a little counter -- tonight.

And he's going to be pointing out what governors like yourself and governor Casey and what he did in New Jersey and Nikki Haley and Bob McDonnell also spoke tonight.

That -- what -- what you've been able to do on the state level we can do on a national level.

So it seems there's going to be more about ideas than that may be about going after the president has some might expect is that the right Tony thing for him to set.

-- -- -- Well I do because I think these guys it's already pretty clear on the 42 consecutive months of unemployment above 8% last month 44 the fifty states all.

An -- -- -- -- twelve million or.

-- Americans are unemployed today people understand that things are working for anybody thought they were elected Bill Clinton for years ago.

The economy's not better in the budget that balances it was we.

John including the Budget Committee back in the 1990s.

It -- -- -- -- And I think people understand they made a mistake it's up to us now to show -- we've got a better option we do with Mitt Romney Paul Ryan.

Yeah it seems that what I think one of the main themes the Governor Christie will hit tonight is that the American people could now.

Except and handle the fact that we are living in difficult economic times that were at a tipping point.

And we need to change things around now or we will pay him very dear price down the road it is very similar to what everybody's gone through -- these different states.

What's exactly right if you look at the difference between the states led by Republicans.

It goes up by Democrats.

Last month the difference was a poll one point better in -- of the unemployment states led by Republicans and we've shown state by state.

We can turn around the budget deficits we -- without raising techies.

And most importantly do it with a small businesses can grow that we can do that Owen stayed after another as Republican governors there's no doubt another break former Republican governor.

Mitt Romney could do it for America billions.

I was -- governor Scott Walker on the floor of the convention.
