And congratulations on being named as one of the six headliner speakers addressing the Republican Convention this wager you're in good company with a Artur Davis he's a former Alabama congressman and he's he's been attacking I use now Democrat congressman now he's a Republican or what the Republicans in Louisiana governor Bobby Jim Ball. Florida congressman Connie Mack of Virginia governor Bob McDonnell and a US senator Rob Portman it's. Whether it with a couple of exceptions -- sounds like there -- a lot of people were on the short list for vice president were do you think to a one album. You know how we it was not an agreement. On Mac and certainly if they get their conventions so. But as you know an iBook now we're in -- lot of let them -- -- elected president bringing a lot of people that set it like me and make sure they're reaching its done it needs to be done for a I won't pull -- what was the an hour. -- -- the first thing to do is repeal obamacare. Going to -- yeah it is important the more the more you read about that the with the scarier it is becomes what's the what's gonna happen I mean it's just it's going to be a total disaster on every level and it's just. And you know you guys are gonna have to stop it. And it's unsustainable. And then -- and this is like the medical device industry it's gonna say there is in taxes less jobs unfortunately. Right -- higher health care costs which we don't know if you're out there with a system that works and. Now what now way you know what Barack Obama is -- going to be coming in to weigh in to New Hampshire this weekend it's swing state you know it's gonna be very tight election a New Hampshire only has four electoral votes but. They could be pebble. And are you are you gonna be out campaigning against them this weekend. I am going to be in an event tomorrow. These business Scott Coker manufacturing and -- did you know that focuses. Small business owner I'm the guy yeah yeah he did -- that -- in the present -- economic. Says if you. Business and you do about somebody up and happened. And the other concerns are really and -- and honorary one as well. I watched them work. Work. -- the opposite. So I appreciate it Jack's saying about it. So away. -- -- -- -- how to work with the speech now do you do you write this Beecher or do you do you have to have the speech data -- -- the speech vetted by -- -- -- people but -- -- -- up to -- or did they write it for you. I don't you know the whole process yet we're just learning. We ultimately though will -- it and you know that's for sure the Romney campaign. Well certainly edits to make sure that all the points they want for every person. And that that that's done but it's my words and yeah that's become tool of the word they say. And you know we don't -- only those things I certainly describe it I was governor. And and also -- got a chance you know in and personally and it's still it's -- little -- -- great people there are equipped with its its -- they are what integrity. And that's sort of sort of constituents. Yeah I mean I have a house and also. And Aetna and certainly a lot especially -- on. Them here. Personal sites are -- and personal partner. Now do you know what you know Paul Ryan very well. I've met. And I was I'm. So. Really well there -- our. He's real reformer. Incredibly very looking forward -- it's. So -- All right as somebody who really hasn't stopped and I have to say. You know. -- army is a great. I'm. It shows that he understands. That. There -- people. -- seems the study seems to admit his doing a lot better in these latest polls this week with younger voters she's pulled ahead in Florida and Wisconsin. And you finally give I know you get some kind of amounts -- the first horse in there wasn't much of a bounce but now it appears that. You know they've they put the Democrats are back on. On the defensive on Medicare that's that's certainly a new development -- Democrats dentures in one of their -- bloody shirts as they used to say that they -- Yeah around it sure and I think people are saying the Democrats about global. It's. Republicans. -- a lot and met here now as we don't know how hard that is so not true and you know I would say let's send. The only in the -- and Medicare as we know it is. Bankruptcies because independent agents that -- back importantly for right now they have no plan the president has put forth -- You know what's so shocking Ali is that there's trustee -- Medicare had issued a warning the last four years in the -- an office. And the law requires him to submit a plan that's for sure at a -- ignored. Yeah I I don't pay that's but that's just that a and you don't led to the they came out a swinging with a TV spot that really put it right on the on in Florida you know salute. You know before the to sort of up -- the Democrats trying to was against you wave the bloody shirt of Medicare with the senior citizen well. And I wanted things that are really. That misrepresentations. That are made under what. I'm supposed. Anyone that's 65 years or older now it's. So and that they've tried it of course totally. Interpret. It's seen as somehow those who were older oh with would be harmed by the and it's not true. Yeah and I'm just reading now from Karl Rove column today in the Wall Street Journal Americans under the age of 55. Will have a choice of picking either traditional Medicare or use the average amount of money the government spends on each Medicare -- world leader by private insurance. The reasoning is based on reliable -- competition will lower cost by using market forces dish -- spur innovation. An improvement as you said the you know ending Medicare as we know it as -- to use the Democrats phrase. As we know what it's going bankrupt intend in the twelve years. Twelve years. It truthfully if you if you don't have a plan which is where the president is very you don't have a plan are prepared itself people are you reform. Its program. And basically your strong ally itself belly up and it's disappointing because we can't of people that are relying on -- -- -- not all of Ali and don't. And so we should be responsible about this and really -- to their people and make sure. There we did -- in a way that doesn't harm if people are receiving a lot of people understand what it's -- is it weight on it and and make sense that we preserve the program. Scott Brown just called and I'm reading a note he says congrats to Kelly on getting the prime time speech slot and how we great job he's listening to the show so. Thanks thank Scott for listened to the show we. Hey you know I am so glad to say -- -- my parents Scott. And he doesn't straight excellent Massachusetts.

Wanna -- this what about this amnesty -- especially bothers a lot of -- this amnesty and maybe six months ago he admitted he didn't have the power and the authority to do this. And and now we just decided he does I mean again manager Richard Nixon trying to do something like this -- Well it's you know that's that's justifiable about how it was sent. We do we certainly kept -- -- immigration policy in this country and you know got to secure borders. But at this present basically circumvent the law. -- he said he didn't have the authority to issue an executive order. To fulfill about it because we know he did it for political reasons. It's -- so important to them. He had when they had controller congress church years right why in the past -- legislation. Yeah so it looks like cap and trade simply with cap and trade right.

Bill Paul your next with how we current senator Kelly go ahead Paul. -- -- graduation. New Hampshire and I only did so saw this article there about all -- all the. -- did you -- -- yet tell you saw those stories in the away in the first in the Washington Post and now in the New York Times there. They're complaining that that that Paul Ryan's the suit is Ron -- I mean these -- -- Yeah it's. Oh yeah yeah others that there was a story and why I'm. That it's ridiculous I mean. -- mean Lilly is that what they wanna talk about an umpire real issues. Listen these -- just Regis a couple of sentences here Kelly this is from the -- this from Leo Washington Post. What I have appeared rumpled slightly saw before vice presidential candidate as if -- flown in for hours before it mistakenly picked up someone else's suitcase. His can't sagged at the ankles all four years or given Sarah Palin grief because she was spending money to look with campaign money to look -- and that is. Andy and paste it. -- -- hurt and you know -- Yeah keep working hard -- -- without talking. So many different states. And it's so it's a little -- for a drawing up its -- and wants to talk. There and he's on and so you know it's just it's certainly. Have nothing else to criticize. That as well. Paul go have what do you wanna say about -- close. It's you think that you don't permanent launched a series the monster yes. And you might do little baby any parents that are on line. Well he it will he has the widow's peak like Eddie Munster but. It. -- it -- it is it's not about a deal and that's about the only thing about Paul is that widows creek. Thanks for the call 1774694322. Lenny you're next with how we car and a senator Kelly hey uncle -- money. -- -- Alex Kelly I'd like asking this question what's up with Harry Reid and is there any resolutions. Either speaking French drinks or -- was raised questions late last I don't understand how a person like I mean I understand senatorial privilege and the and the the perks and all that stuff. But definitely over the line -- I mean I I respect you and all the other folks who -- fighting the good idea. Don't you think the time is now -- Just like what happened in the course he's here with somebody needs to stand up to describe compensated in a public forum on the floor of the senate do you have the machine sooner. You know letting. I have to tell you I was incredibly. Disappointed. And outraged truthfully when the majority leaders on the senate floor and claim that he had some sources says. They're running -- take taxes. And we all know that it's you were. Academy man about it he'd go and stand outside the senate where it doesn't have immunity Qaeda and the things -- -- a true. It's really. Unbecoming of a majority leader. And right now on he didn't idol it girl leaving Washington. So we're not fill -- -- till September. I've been very. Really. Disappointed and angry about -- -- -- -- conducted himself and also his lack of leadership it's been three years since out of budget in the senate. He basically said it would be foolish for this and it's -- budget well. Being critically meaning politically. -- politically for our country if we can't budget how we ever going. To get the trillion dollar that's what you. In the nation than he stands there and throw stones at the house budget. But they've they've learned something I mean he he he doesn't -- thing. And that's fit batted it I can tell you how he that is that when people first ex congressman Paul Ryan budget the question should be. OK let's let's for call the president button. It's -- hero got. Or maybe not so mainly Larry I'm not going and 414. Nothing. Not one member of his own party -- supported budgets hey -- and Ryan but at least it's passed the house. And it's a real fiscal blueprint for our country so Harry Reid you know if we sort of ever mentioned is college are about that would be blocked it. Church there's a consolation. To get a majority in the fire surgery people of the country you know. Great great question though when he won 87 -- don't read a column by amateur -- later on today I won't read one Achilles on because it would it. These should have to defend her colleague but I'll read it later on it's a funny very funny column Paul you're next with how we cargo ahead Paul. Thanks Sally Saturday. Of course it -- it. If Republicans and unable to take back the senate while president Romney be able to issue an executive order not to fund obamacare. Well good question. It's a really good question. I think we need to take back to set it. Because that would allow the process called reconciliation. Two basically handles attacks expect aspects funding. It's funding goes Obama here. Are really make sure that we could stop this bill without it's going to be very difficult to do. That's certainly the president through his authority on how you administered. About security that different agencies I believe that he is going to -- governor said he would grant a waiver from every state if they want it and they want. So I think that the action they take that we really need to take majority because the funding of the village critical need a budget for our country and that. These capital of the majority of Republicans. I assume one of the reasons you're on your fellow headliner representative Connie Mack is -- because he's running for the senate against the incumbent Florida. Bill Nelson so I mean just underlines how important it is to retake the senate. Yet he is Connie Mack his running for the senate in Florida. John you're next with us how we -- senator Kelly a -- go ahead John. Good afternoon one other thing that struck me when I read the Supreme Court decision about our own. Immigration bill they said that congress at its -- of the the party in the area. I'm wondering if any Democrat that amount that they are Howard being usurped. By the executive branch. Quite doing what he's doing and the immigration -- What we are good callers here that says in this segment Kelly these are excellent questions. Either excellent questions I'm -- yet seen that I can hurt all. And -- my democratic colleague coming forward questioning whether the president. At the authority to do that that's my recollection of a big you know what it's they're really good point John because. It doesn't matter who's in charge we need to respect the -- and the process. And this sure it was disrespectful that the process because congress estimates -- A. Did you turn -- around -- If president Ahmadinejad and and the panda and the out despite the app it's wonderful -- -- Well the peak but that they. Had a president Romney by executive order could not get. Just like President Obama is doing to -- this big immigration law I would think the -- would be a welcome back. Yeah no I think you've got to be concerned about that you know are on the other set it up to the constitution. Said that each branch had its own our own through the checks and balances that when the president does things like that it undermines that are founding fathers and our situation so I agree I think both sides -- Thanks for the call John Bob -- next with or. I it's better really appreciate everything you're doing a wish we had a real summer aside from just -- Come on its solid in the dark eyes the size and not need us. I -- -- so our our. -- out but quick question you mentioned -- -- back at the program the Mac any programs to cut spending. It's temple program you know -- -- almost and it's today's great and then drop of 1%. Per year for seven year and a balanced budget. It any other way other than a simple across the board but you can do really -- I think we we go we got about ten seconds I can. You know Oprah talk day number one and yet but we get to cut programs that are no longer. Where we actually had to decide where priorities are and I think James who actually an outside. How we can do it how are making choices saying hey you know it's more it's more important. Kelly Wallace to -- hope to see you when a -- down there -- give -- speech of we don't. Power -- I hope we'll see each other -- but. OK great -- we.
