One problem the group campaign in favor of Obama care when most senior said no.

Legendary game show host -- -- is a spokesperson for generation America.

It is the largest conservative alternative to AARP and he joined us earlier today.

-- what they did is absolutely disgusting saying that they're non partisan.

Because they are not nonpartisan if it were not for AARP.

And the pressure that was put on senator Nelson.

By Barry Rand and all these other people the CEO of AARP.

And -- this health care bill would never have passed he was the sixtieth vote.

And they pressured him they robo call they coordinate all this with a White House in order to -- do it to do it.

And then they would occasionally sent out an email and say look we need to keep our distance because our members really don't like it one more partisan and since we're supposed to be a nonpartisan group.

So they really kind of did this nobody knew about it up.

And we were able to get these are some insiders and AARP and also.

From Freedom of Information Act already got a -- let's take a look at one of the email.

This apparently is from the senior vice president air.

We need very -- and CEO of our.

To go meet with Ben Nelson the Nebraska -- representative.

Personally and just lay it on the line.

Will be with you we will protect you but if you kill this bill -- -- -- seniors will never forget we are at 5350.

Votes in the senate.

We have to have him and he wound up being the sixtieth vote.

And at at the time well there's a check and at the time chuck RI AARP claim that seniors were in favor of -- of obamacare but you say.

That seniors were actually opposed to it.

Fourteen to one.

Fourteen to one on the calls like 97%.

They were against it and AARP -- ahead and just push this thing through anyway I it'll literally.

It would not be a law today as it were not for AARP.

And air.

And it's the inspired photo leaving millions of Americans and off a member of the army's third US infantry regiment standing guard over the tomb of the unknown soldier in Sandy's.

Fierce wind and rain.

Yesterday since 1940 soldiers have watched over the -- in Arlington cemetery 24/7.

365 a year regardless of the weather.

And they did just that.

Yesterday.
