We continue -- mrs.

Romney.

There's -- this is discussions about gas price adjustment there's a whole another group of Americans.

Who aren't even up to that -- that I would have a card to worry about gas prices and it never even had a job a minute there and said great despair and it's sort of like you know there's a lot of attention on all these campaigns by the media.

By the Republicans by the Democrats on the on the middle class and and the and the upper classes and a risk but.

I -- that you mean those others who have lost people in the in this whole sort of process.

Well I think that the most of.

-- thing Greta you can do is is to be aware that and to be cognizant of the fact that how many people have been left behind.

And you know -- is.

You know there's no way that we can.

Help these people unless.

There are jobs for them and there's an opportunity for them.

All of us have ancestors that have come to this country.

With nothing with absolutely nothing I know my grandfather did he came from them they coal mines of Wales with not a nickel in his pocket during the depression at 1929.

My father came here as a fifteen year old boy with nothing in his pocket.

And so.

I know that there's so many Americans that have had ancestors have -- that place and it hit yet had the opportunity.

To make a change in their life and to have.

A better life for them and their children so.

You know it's it's pursing his we have to recognize that there are those that are out there.

But we cannot help them if we cannot make the economic conditions better for them to even have a much chance a -- in their lives.

I asked -- people on -- are my blog what questions that they had the opportunity to speak to they would ask you.

What other questions.

That was that was asked.

View is.

-- -- -- ask you is that -- properties get tougher people say needs to get stronger on -- and then swing Bakalar a bit more on the campaign trail how do you respond to that.

You know -- -- -- criticisms that are gonna come right and left everyone has an opinion.

I think he's I think he's doing a great job I think he's very focused.

You know we are very focused on winning this election in November we're trying everything we can.

We know it's difficult to out there on the campaign trail and and folks should know that -- -- he's out Clinton every ounce of energy into it.

And he is a true believer in America.

He's a true believer in the economic prosperity that is around the corner if we change directions.

Four years -- -- your your husband didn't make it to be the nominee but he certainly was running for president I'm curious anything noticeably different to these two races for you between four years ago and now rounding difference.

Yes I will tell you the biggest difference.

-- and it's the women that I come up to me in the campaign John I will tell you four years ago.

Women that went on speak to me had a lot of different concerns on their mind.

This time around it is nearly universal that they're talking about -- -- economy their future.

And and they're talking about debt in entitlements and everything that is so critical that we make sure that we get a hold on the on this economy -- we're gonna see ourselves facing the kind of crises if we don't address some of these things.

We're gonna have that kind of crisis that is being face in Europe -- now in women.

That's been the biggest difference that I notice is that women are talking about.

The economy and jobs.

And deficit spending which I have found amazing now I will tell you the other thing that's wonderful but really good part of being on the campaign.

And that is how many millions of people are behind us.

How many people are praying -- how many people are praying for me in particular with my health concerns so.

This is such a great country and there -- somebody wonderful people out there.

But we're all concerned about the future.

And we know we just cannot afford four more years.

What what we've been facing the last four years.

I was playing -- Yeah it was not fun not a -- has -- yeah smoke filled Kevin.

Yes I was watching a movie I was completely oblivious and all of a sudden my -- shorted out and I Mike and I turned around I was at the front and I turned around and I saw like.

Everyone's look of shock in the back of the plane they kind of kept me in that in the dark I think knowing that there wasn't much I can do about it.

And I turned around -- and I said.

Oh dear there's a lot of options but up there was a lot of smoke I mean our eyes were burning -- -- having difficulty breathing.

It was it was a bit -- that it was a bit of a frightening experience.

How long did you have when the smoke sweepers knows a smoke and before you got out of the played and it really hit the lamp but how long a period of this is.

You know I've been on these horrible flights from applying a little -- it was so why -- wasn't like.

He landed within -- -- -- we we had to get to the Denver airport and then we had to descend but I will tell you that we descended faster than I've ever descended and -- airplane.

And in the great pilots my Secret Service were terrific.

I felt in great hands but I think that -- that thing that was interesting to me if I kind of hit it felt like we which -- taxi often get out of the way.

-- we stopped on the runway.

We got right off on the runway and you know the fire trucks circled -- circled the playing.

And I that's again when you are sort of aware of like how serious that was.

Regis in our blackberries well wildly we would get that anyway with a plane in distressed.

But that said you know mrs.

ramming his plane is in trouble -- -- went we knew it went viral to all of us in the media -- media -- yeah that was.

That's terrifying exit terrified all these flights happen anyway I had good ending well and if I cannot eat and I'll let you go -- -- -- get a very busy evening thanks very much for joining us I hope you'll join us again that in the next couple days and weeks.

Thanks Greta.
