-- -- -- Riley thanks for watching us and I do most American voters really understand what's at stake in the presidential election that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo and the answer is.

No.

Many do not understand what's at stake.

-- not being condescending and I'm not being ideological.

The issue is a very complex here at three vital ones first the economy it's terrible.

But it's not just some employment low wages it's the staggering amount of debt pres Obama rolled the dice believing that record government spending in peacetime would lead to job creation.

Matter what the propagandist tell you that has not happened.

Under mr.

Obama the nation's debt has increased by more than five trillion dollars and what are we have to show for that what.

If the feds continue spending at this rate the US dollar will collapse.

Confidence in our currency will evaporate.

We simply must stop the massive borrowing now estimated at 3.5.

Billion dollars I today a day.

Vital issue number two Muslims.

President Obama is using a soft power approach the Muslim world and after eight years of bush Cheney -- strategy was worth -- mr.

about it everything he could.

He convince Muslims that America's not their enemy.

Sadly he has not convinced that.

Millions of Muslims continue to hate the USA as a recent Muslim assault on America -- Even in the face is that the Obama administration doesn't want to change course.

Here's -- UN ambassador Susan Rice said about the assassination of the American ambassador to Libya.

What our assessment is as of the present.

Is in fact what it didn't began spontaneously.

In Ben Ghazi.

As a reaction to what had transpired some hours earlier in Cairo.

Spontaneously.

-- choosing.

Specific date.

Thought of this.

So -- demonstration.

I think we have no this leaves us with no doubts.

That this is -- -- By the date of course September 11 to once again the Obama administration seems to be fondled by Muslim violence which is growing.

Afghanistan now on -- Iran spit in the I have America and al-Qaeda reconstituting in places like him.

Again the soft power approach hasn't worked in fact mr.

Obama's greatest successes.

By the drone missile attacks.

And they are demonstration of hard power.

But -- number three gas prices through Europe and the nation has no coherent energy policy.

-- Israel decides to attack Iran gas prices might go to seven -- -- -- Mr.

about as well intentioned -- wanting alternative fuels but his opposition to the fossil fuel industry.

Has put working Americans in a very bad place where you see your heating bill.

So -- -- have three vital issues at all voters should understand.

In fact I feel so strongly about this -- -- teaming up with my pal Jon Stewart.

To do a ninety minute debate on those and other vital issues you'll be streamed on the Internet on October 6.

Details later on in the broadcast.
