the newly minted republican ticket going full speed ahead to reclimb the white house. mitt romney barnstorming with his new running mate. first stop is a rally in north carolina. the pair firing up the crowd but now it is on to a homecoming rally in ryan home state in wisconsin tonight. i'm heather childers. welcome to a brand-new hour. >> kelly: good to be with you. i'm kellogg kel. d i'm kelly wright.

the g.o.p. pair now pitching itself as america's comeback team. we have team coverage of the presidential contest. ed henry is standing by at the white house and carl cameron. he is the road with mitt romney and congressman ryan in the badger state that is where we will start. >> heather: we're starting where carl cameron is. you are there in wisconsin awaiting the home coming rally. how has the reaction been so far? >> big crowds and big enthusiasm. selection as a vice presidential running mate is already done. that was to turn the debate to the issues of balancing the budget will dealing with the government's fiscal pro problems and righting the economy. democrats are trying to say ryan's budgeted is too extreme. republicans are saying these are

exactly the issues that have to be faced and democrats should talk. huge crowds in north carolina. more than 89,000 in high point just a short time ago. mr. romney was clear in the type of rhetoric we heard from him for a better part of year. now with ryan on the ticket. listen to romney as he says balancing budget is a moral imperative. >> this nation is facing critical charges bus of choices that were made that weren't very good. some of those choices were made by republicans and lot by democrats. we spent too much money. we spent money we didn't have. i think it's not just bad economics to do that. i think it's immoral for us to pass our burdens to the next generation. >> reporter: republicans are counting on the idea the edition of paul ryan will inject new enthusiasm into the romney campaign and candidacy and underscore his assertion he will

deal with the federal government debt and get the economy back on track. >> heather: it sounds like they have lifted the silence how they kept a ryan choice a surprise? >> reporter: we got briefed yesterday. reporters got briefed by the campaign. we found out that in order to avoid getting discovered, paul ryan at one point took a plane in a baseball cap and t-shirt not to boston to meet mr. romney but to connecticut where beth myers his veep search son drove him into born so he wouldn't get detected. in order to get back too his house and not busted dealing with the possibility of dealing with the vice presidential pick. he had to cut through the woods in his house from reporters that had staked out his front yard. there had been a lot of rumors before the actual announcement.

they are took extreme lengths in order to keep it secret. they did it a saturday and sunday on the weekend. it doesn't seem as though they were trying to amplify it very much. as i said already the debate has shifted to the issues of the economy and balancing the federal budget. >> heather: i read a play by play through the process. it was stealth operation to say the least. >> kelly: president obama's team wrapping up their verbal attacks against romney's new running mate. ryan's policies would hurt medicare and the middle-class, as well. the president campaigning in his hometown of chicago today. you are looking at live at event. ed henry is live with more details about all this. how is the president reacting? >> reporter: the president so far has not said anything on this new romney-ryan ticket.

we'll be watching a fund-raiser in his hometown to see if he does weigh in. so far he has been letting his campaign team do the talking. you heard carl how the republicans are trying to brand the ticket as comeback team. obama is calling them counter programming, america's go back team in going backwards with their policies instead of forward which, of course, is the obama campaign motto. on the bottom line on the sunday talk shows, david axelrod were trying to paint paul ryan as a radical. >> to thrill the most strident voices in the republican party but it should trouble everybody else, middle-class, seniors, students because of ryan's record. he is a right wing i had log.

>> reporter: the romney campaign is not going to sit quietly. they know how much the obama campaign have attacked them and days at bain capital. there is chatter whether the obama campaign has been effective. if you look at national polls in defining mitt romney in a negative way as a business executive. so republicans on the sunday talk shows including fox news sunday were trying to push back and make sure that ryan is not defined as a radical. take a listen to john mccain? >> a new generation of leadership in our party and our nation. a man who understands the most compelling challenges this nation faces, obviously are jobs and xhetd. i am convinced that he will bring the kinds of ideas and not that he has been pursuing in the house and in v important

position he has held. >> you asked about the president earlier. fund-raising event will be getting going a little less than half an hour. so far it appears the president is trying to be careful not to be the one beating up to paul ryan. there has been chatter about negative attack ads and whether that may bring the president's like built rating. so he is trying to stay above the freeway so far and let people like david axelrod attack ryan. we'll listen to the president's words very closely. >> kelly: bottom line it appears to be the campaign that the president always wanted, right? >> reporter: the obama campaign has long said they wanted what they call a choice election. you focus on the next four years. who has got the better plan to deal with the current economic recovery that is very slow, is treading water right now. even the obama campaign admits

it's not going as quickly as they wanted. they want a choice election because jobs the deficit is not so good for president. now, they have the choice with paul ryan and his budgeted. that is why you're hearing the republicans push back because they won't just sit back and take these attacks. >> kelly: first lady michelle obama campaigning for her husband speaking at a fund-raiser in los angeles this hour. yesterday she made a surprise visit to colorado to meet with the victims of deadly colorado movie massacre. she spoke to the hospital staff that treated with the wounded and met with victims families and one patient who is still in intensive care. >> heather: janesville, wisconsin finding itself in the national spotlight. it is the hometown of republican vice presidential candidate paul ryan. sparking mixed reaction amongst the population of about 60,000.

good nor the community, good for the state. i think it's good for the republican party. >> i think it's very exciting. >> it scares me frankly. mitt romney and paul ryan were in charge of this country. >> his ideas are solid. we have problems that need to be solved. >> heather: back in 2008, if you are wondering, the county that voted for obama 56% to 35%. as governor romney's new running mate hits the campaign trail. fellow republicans are bracing for a huge outcry from democrats because paul ryan is an outspoken crusader for changes in social security and medicare. now many voters might be asking just how much of ryan's budget plan will governor romney embrace. steve joins us with more on

that. >> reporter: the recent out takes on a new dynamic with the choice of paul ryan as well as new focus on fiscal issues and entitlement programs, paul ryan is the author of the republican budget that cut federal spending partly privatizes social security and changes the medicare program. instead of government paying the bills, seniors would get a payment from the government to buy health insurance. >> i think the biggest risk for the country is doing nothing. that what ends medicare as we know it. doing nothing. you've got to have a plan to fix it. i think paul ryan to his credit whether you like it or not has come up with a plan that puts medicare on a more sustainable fiscal path going forward. >> reporter: now the obama campaign is just as happy as republicans to see paul ryan as the vice presidential pick. they think he presents a bigger target especially among older

americans which represents a reliable voting bloc. they wasted no time making that case. >> medicare itself will be in in a death spiral. it will be dissipated by seniors going into the private system leaving sick seniors in the existing medicare program. they don't believe in medicare. congressman ryan doesn't believe in the medicare program. wanted to do away witness. >> reporter: now up to mitt romney to totally embrace the ryan budget or to distance himself from certain aspects of it. in any case it likely be a central focus of the campaign in the final three months. >> heather: we're going debate that issue coming up in our panel a little later on. thank you so much. >> kelly: jay carney is offering u.s. condolences to iran as rescuers call off the search for

survivors of twin earthquakes. tehran is focus is shifting to recovery and providing shelter for the thousands of people left homeless. nearly 300 people are dead, more than 5,000 injured. state television reporting that several villages were completely leveled when the magnitude 6.4 and 6.3 earthquakes hit minutes apart yesterday. about 3 dozen aftershocks were also reported. >> heather: to syria where head of main opposition group is calling for a no-fly zone to protect citizens from air attacks he says the regime is using. they are looking to the international community to enforce the rules. arab league postponing the meeting to discuss the syrian crisis and select a placement for kofi annan. they say the meeting was delayed because of a minor operation by

the assault and battery's foreign minister. >> a solemn scene outside a sikh temple where six lost their lives. about hundred worshipers gathered in the parking lot and watched as flagpole covered with orange cloth was taken down. pole was then washed in water and milk before being wrapped in fresh cloth. worshipers later went into the temple for more prayers. most of the damage has been repaired except for one bullet hole. that will be left here in memory of those killed. >> heather: turning to a fox extreme weather alert. raging wildfire shutting down a highway and chasing people from their homes. a discarded cigarette sparking the 150 acre blaze in fresno county where this is happening yesterday. threatening 200 homes and prompting evacuation orders. it is now 20% contained.

to phoenix, arizona under excessive heat warnings, just one day after a dust storm choked much of the area reducing visibility. to zero in some places. >> kelly: it's being billed as the best after-show party ever been. london is bringing down the curtain on the 2012 summer olympics with a thunderous display of fireworks and beaming lights. this after another big day for team u.s.a. including a gold medal win in men's basketball. our athletes will take home more medals than any other country. they have claimed 104 medals, 46 of them gold. i have loved every minute of the olympics especially seeing the drama, especially michael phelps. >> heather: what is your favorite? >> i would have to tell you, it's the swimming. it's been very dramatic from day

one when michael phelps had the realization and he got serious and became the most prolific winner of gold. he made history. >> heather: that and the women's gymnastic and i got into the beach volleyball. >> who could forget gabby douglas. >> heather: paul ryan says he has a solution for solving the nation's debt crisis. coming up we'll talk about his plan and how it could impacted you and your family. >> kelly: plus, firefighters battling a massive fire near the spot where thousands of gathering. we'll tell you where and how it's affecting things coming up. >> heather: she is an escape artist. the chimp making another run for it ready and how they got her after the break. stay tuned. ♪

how does the country's debt negatively impact americans and which class of taxpayers does it hurt the most? here is ed rowkouski. the national dead continues to rise. what impact will have it on the country but every household in america? >> i'm really happy we're talking about this. i don't think most people really understand what the debt is. we hear the debt. let's talk about that for a few minutes. there is $16 trillion on debt, that is 300 million people. $530,000 debt on every person. >> kelly: let knee stop it right there. did you say 3 $533,000 on every household because of $16

trillion debt. is that right? >> it really is, $533,000 of additional debt. so take your credit card bills, take your mortgage. that is how much debt so every single person in this country. it's gotten worse certainly over the last three years but the middle income, people who are middle-class and middle income earners it hurts them more because just the very nature they are middle income it hurts them more proportionally. so the idea somehow this insignificant event or this number doesn't matter. people need to know they have that debt. unfortunately kelly, that debt is increasing. as a result of that, this is very important point, our dollar drops. people hear these terms, that means our dollar buys less so the items they are trying to buy is going up. so it's harder for them to make

ends meet. >> kelly: which makes life very hard for each and every one of us, no matter how much money we make. that is a painful burden for every taxpayer to bear. what action should can taken to stop the massive bleeding of american capital and the american dollar? >> that is the great debated we have right now. we have the romney-ryan plan. they have a plan and they say this is going to help fix things. it's going to take a while. we're not going to get out of this easy. one way we're going to get out of this but do we take pro-active measures or continued to increase this. that is the question americans have to deal with at this point. what do i believe we have to do? spending has to be curtailed. there is no question about that. this was your household and kept getting more and more debt and got worse and you are paying the interest at low interest rates, if interest rates went up it would be worse. so you have to say, hey, time

out. let's slow down. let's sell the house and get a smaller home. let's take some measures, some austerity measures to slow down how much money you are spending. >> kelly: you're saying the government should be doing the same thing? >> the government needs to do that. >> kelly: before i let you go. a couple weeks ago we discussed the boles-simpson plan that proposed a plan that could reduce the deficit and reduce spending. boles states in an editorial, no matter who wins the election next president in congress must lower tax rates for everyone in return for sweeping reduction in tax loopholes, taxpayers on the economy would benefit from a vastly simpler code and getting rid of loop holes would reduce one trillion of the 4 trillion

that is needed. will that help? he spares no, he criticizes both romney and the president. he also gives them praise for wanting to do certain things. >> there is no question. that would help. we have to do something. everybody has this burden on them. we have to fix this problem right away. >> kelly: that was a quick answer. >> you told me to be quick. >> kelly: you are man that delivers, that is what i love about ed butowsky. >> heather: a daring chimp returned to zoo. this time police were ready. doug johnson has more from las vegas. >> reporter: this is c.j. she picked up a dangerous skill,

jail-breaking. >> we received information that a primate was escaped. we believe it was the same one that was four to six weeks ago. >> they were right. she had gotten out ahead. >> he didn't get out of same place. there has to be some time. >> first time she got with her cellmate buddy that were shot and killed by officers that were being aggressive. this time they were able to tranquilize c.j.. >> they pulled the dart out but enough medication got on board. >> he helps feed c.j. and this behavior is surprising. >> he would break them every once in a while, very strong. she didn't even try. >> he will be going to chimp sanctuary in oregon in about two weeks. some like want to make sure that

exotic animals aren't kept in anyone's backyard. >> it's way past time for exotic animals. we shouldn't have this. >> they fear about talk about law might be behind the escape. >> we have gotten calls they want to let them out to pass the law in las vegas. i hope to god we can make the case. >> heather: that was doug johnson was reporting from fox affiliate station. >> now to a fox news alert. president obama at a campaign event. >> you are spending most of your time watching olympics. unless you are cable s broken you also know we've got an intense campaign going on right now. and the reason that this is such an intense campaign is because we could not have a bigger

choice in front of us than the one we face in november. it's not just a choice between two candidates or two political parties. more than any other election this is a choice about two different visions for the country. for two different directions of where america should go. the direction we choose, the direction you choose when you walk into that voting booth in november is going to make a difference not just in your life but in the lives of your children and the lives of your grandchildren. it will make a difference for decades to come. now four years ago we came together, not just democrats. we had republicans, we had independents. we came together because we felt as if the basic bargain that built this country was in danger. it was a bargain that said, here in america if you work hard you can get ahead.

the basic idea if you act responsibly, if you are putting in all your effort, then you can find a job that pays the bills. you can find a home that you can call your own. you can send your kids to college. you won't go bankrupt when you go sick, you can retire with dignity and the next generation can dream even bigger and do better than we ever imagined. that is the core of the american dream. that is the basic american promise that made us the envy of the world. that made us the most powerful economy in the world, that built the largest middle-class in the world. that idea that here in america you can make it if you try. now, we have gone through a decade in which that basic

context, it wasn't true for too many people. most of the top were doing very well. but for ordinary families all across america felt as if people were working harder, making less while the cost of everything from healthcare and college were going up. jobs were being shipped overseas. we ran two wars on a credit card. we turned surpluses in deficit and it culminated.... >> heather: and this speech from president obama there in chicago. we'll bring you any additional information. >> kelly: we'll continue to follow that and monitored it for you. meantime, governor romney's vp pick sparking a battle over medicare. both campaigns using some scary language regarding its future. is medicare the hot new topic that will decide november elections. our political panel will weigh in. >> heather: congressman paul ryan now in the history books as

>>. >> heather: just one day after paul ryan joined the republican ticket, a new hot button issue is dominating the campaign chatter. medicare, both sides using language about it. >> the tender mercies of the private insurance marketed and tapping growth the way they do, they will shift thousands of

dollars on the backs of seniors. medicare will be in a death spiral. >> he didn't cut medicare, he stole $700 billion to fund obamacare. if any person in this entire debate has blood on their hands in regard to medicare, it's barack obama. he is the one that is destroying medicare. >> heather: so is medicare suddenly the name of the game on the political panel. let's bring in our political panel thank you both for joining us. >> thank you. >> so congressman frostly begin with you. is the ryan plan really a death spiral for seniors or is that a bit melodramatic? >> it may be a death spiral.eigw

hampshire, ohio and nevada, high concentration of senior citizens. this is coupon plan, this is bad news for the republicans in those states a big concentration of seniors. i think it's a real problem. it's a risk that the romney campaign took they didn't need to take. they could have kept this election on the economy. now, they have chosen to divert the strongest issue to the economy and move it over to medicare where they are going to lose that issue. >> heather: my question to you, is it a death spiral for the komz campaign in those key swing states and with seniors like he mentioned? >> the onus is going to be on them to educate the voter, medicare is going broke in 12 years. president has no plan to fix it. frankly his achievement obamacare is taking $700 billion out of medicare over the next ten years. so the onus is on the

romney-ryan ticket to say we wanted to preserve medicare for the future. president obama has no interest in doing that. if they can win this debate in moving forward and talk about the future on top of the present. then they push their ideas toward the economy they are going to win this election, but they cannot win this election without winning ohio and florida, two states with high population of seniors. that is something tha is weighing on back of their minds. >> heather: what about that messaging when it comes to explaining the changes in ryan plan when it comes to medicare, wouldn't paul ryan be a plus doing that? >> he can talk all he wants about it. seniors like medicare. that is what people are missing here. you ask seniors if they approve of medicare, if they think it's a great program. they want to have medicare and they say yes. anything that threatens that is a problem. i think the last thing in the world that romney wants to do is to explain paul ryan's plan.

as i mentioned earlier, he wants to talk about the economy. that is the strongest issue here. that is what people care about. if obama has a vulnerability, it's on economy and not on medicare. >> heather: and biggest flash pointed in the entire ryan plan even massachusetts governor mitt romney has cut some distance from it. how do you expect him to reacted moving forward, governor romney? >> governor romney is going to say, look, we have tough choices to make as voters. and we saw with scott walker and mitch daniels, voters are willing to make tough choices as long as you give them a plan and explain it in how it's going to make america better in the future. the goal at the end of the day, the goal is future and getting americans back to work. in a lot of ways it ties into the economy and that will be trick for the romney-ryan ticket moving forward. look at the numbers you just

put up on the screen. public doesn't want to change medicare. they likes medicare. they don't want to do what paul ryan wants. it's a very interesting sales job they are going to have. >> congressman frost, the key is for the ticketed to say anybody over 55 whatever plan we put forward, this does not affect you. going the same way is a failed way and america is going suffer. we have to move forward. we have to think about the future. >> heather: polling numbers whether medicare is good deal, 45% yes, and 30% no. thank you. win or lose, paul ryan is making history at at vice presidential candidate. how does he stack up against past candidate's choices. we'll take a look. questions. when you're caring for a loved one

geraldine ferraro was a bold pick. >> kelly: a lot of us remember jack ke com or geraldine ferraro first woman to be named as vice presidential pick. how well do you think congressman paul ryan will resonate with the american people not just the conseralvtie base? >> i think he is likable. he has a young family. he is handsome and energetic. he has big ideas and big issues. he has middle american values. i think he is still not quite a household name yet. she house member. he is not a senator or governomr there will be an introduction of him. it's important for the romney campaign to introrodce hf obama does. >> kelly: give me the difference between ryan and joe biden. sf differences?

>> similarities, they are both very smart. they understand domestic policy. they go deep on the issues. joe biden is quite holder than paul ryan. joe biden speaks more from the hiemp he is being known as aggressive truth teller. ryan is more gqurded. i think it be an interesting debated between biden and ryan. >> keloba: also the sf that both men are irish catholics. how may that play from voters from a called background but those that favored john kennedy. >> i definitely think ryan being a catholic will help in certain areas. i don't think religion is much of an issue these days. i don't think it's going not a big part of this election i don't think. certainly there is something

keavoedyesque about ryan. he is young and attractive and smart. >> kelly: we thank you for joining us. we'll see how this choice of congressman paul ryan as the vp candidate with thank you, have a good day. >> some say they made a bold choice for vp. could he help energize the base. can he set the reset button his campaign. we will debate it coming up.

is ryan playing the role of cheerleader or attack dog. >> a little bit of both. romney campaign said it is not attacks but substance and they are trying to focus the campaign on the size of government and righting the economy. the president reacted and called ryan a decent family man and not somebody whose ideas he can agree with and thus began the debate between the two. more than 10,000 people in one of mr. romney and mr. ryan's event. the wisconsin congressman took a little time to tweak the president and tout his running mate in the top of the ticket. >> history books say there are common characteristics of what makes a great leadership. a person with bed rock of principles and a person with a moral compass and a person with a vision and a person who

has the skills and the experience to put that vision into place. guess what? sounds like this guy, doesn't it? [applause] >> and the two will come here to wisconsin in just a while . this will serve as a homecoming rally for badger state republicans wishing their congressman from jamesville well as he heads out on the white house trek and this is the last time they will campaign together. for the announcement of the running mate to take place this weekend and parted before the actual businessweek. it will see how he will act. >> this is their last event together for a while. >> until the convention. they will separate tonight and tomorrow paul ryan will campaign in iowa and mr. mitt romney will campaign in

florida and campaign in the key state. and he's only had a few days as vice-president nominee . they campaigned earlier together in this process and ryan was one of the first republican to endorse mitt romney . having said that to make the announcement on saturday morn spend less than 36 hours together before campaigning separately is pretty fast. they will be out separately and ryan with a whole court of press reporters asking him questions for two and half weeks. anything can happen in that time. >> campaign carl as always we appreciate it >> house speaker boehner congratulating paul ryan and mitt romney. the speaker said the governor made the right choice for vice-president. >> there were a couple of safe picks out there and he didn't

do that. he decided to be bolder about that and i congratulate him for it. >> speaker boehner and congressman ryan have a long history together. ryan was a college student when boehner was running for congress. >> president obama reacting to governor mitt romney's running mate. minutes ago in chicago. the president had tough words for the new republican ticket. and ed henry is live with us. what is the president saying? >> it is interesting, he tried to be nicer perhaps than david axelrod and the campaign surrogates on the sunday talk show circuit and beating up on paul ryan and calling him a radical. and the president got boos because there were young people gen 44. and when they heard paul ryan's name. no, he's a decent family man,

but called him idealogical leadership of the republicans on the hill . close as he got to being negative and then the president added this. >> he is an articulate spokesman for governor romney vision. but it is a vision that i fundmentally disagree with. >> you can see what they were trying to do let the president remain above the fray and characterize this as a big choice between the two parties and the visions. the two campaigns. but he's not beating up on paul ryan and calling him a radical like we heard from david axelrod. take a listen. >> it is a pick that is meant to thrill the strident voices in the republican party. but should trouble the middle class and students and you know, because of ryan's record. he is a right-wing idea log.

>> you can see they are trying to tear him apart. similar to what they did with mitt romney with the bane capitol ad. trying to tear him down . now they are jumping all over paul ryan to define his dayos capitol hill before the republicans trump the good parts. >> what are others saying about mitt romney's decision to pick rhine as candidate. >> speaker boehner is pleased with this and say is a bold choice by mitt romney . many other republicans on the sunday talk show circuit, even in fact, some of the who didn't make the cut like tim pawlenty who was on the short list and potentially a vp pick. he said paul ryan is the right choice, take a listen. >> something i didn't expect.

congressman rhine - ryan is bringing a clear vision and adult approach to solve the nation's problems and you don't see that from the president and his team. >> you heard that paul ryan will go out on the battle state of iowa. guess what. president obama will be in iowa. he has a three day bus tour. you will have the new vp pick and the president of the united states battling it out directly. >> that is very interesting. thank you very much. ed henry live from the white house. >> governor mitt romney getting a major fund raising booth. raising approximately three and half million dollars win the first 24 hours. a new coup for the mitt romney campaign which raised a 100 million in the month of july alone a stark contrast to

president obama's campaign that brought in 70 million in the same month. governor romney faces a new challenge how to distingish his own economic plan from that of congressman ryan. democrats will no doubt zero in on that as they prepare to battle the romney and ryan ticket. steve, what is up? >> mitt romney's choice of a running mate puts a finer focus on fiscal matters and entitlement matters in light of the controversial plan that cuts government spend making changes to medicare and medicaid. mitt romney is running ons had own economic and he has embraced ryan's plan before and he will accept or ject parts or the entire frame

work. ryan's change in medicare republicans expect a huge outcry from democrats. >> you will hear from democrats push grandma over the cliff. they have not had a plan to save social security and medicare and they have had nearly four years to do it. paul ryan took the courageous steps to bring the issue to the forecast and we'll have to address it under a mitt romney and ryan administration you will see it addressed. >> the president's plan is to continue his current policy. the president's campaign and democrats in general believe it would hurt the elderly and unemployed and helping higher income americans. >> paul ryan embraced an

extremist. and it cuts so much. that would stall our economy. it is a sereese of debates. >> it is game on. >> thank you. there are also new questions about what impact congressman paul ryan will have on the election. the latest clear politics polling showing that 49 percent of the wisconsin voters favor obama . 44 percent would vote for governor romney. does mitt romney have enough of a following to change that. craig gilbert joins us live on the phone with more. >> thank you for joining us. >> thank you. and taking a look at the polling average and difference of five points there, and ryan

have enough to pull ahead of obama. >> i don't think he can single handedly makes up the gap. but it commits the romney campaign to make an effort. they haven't been on the air here like they have in the battle ground states. so i think it would be strange if they didn't step up the game and spend money in tv. thal make a difference. >> tell me about the demographics of the badger state. >> economy is big here. it is got roots that republicans do better with older and blue collar. but they are competitive and obama is holding his own with white men and stealing romney on women and younger women in particular. paul ryan could help given his age, but really, wisconsin is a state where it is an uphill

fight despite the big victory in the recall fights earlier this year. >> earlier we were discussing in 2008 in rock county where jamesville is, barack obama won 64 percent to john mccain's 35 percent. how do people feel about paul ryan there? >> he's very liked in his district. he carried his district with not much trouble at all it is a republican leaning but not super red. but in fact obama won it in 2008, and paul ryan does well with the republican base voterss and independent voters. and in wisconsin, that is one thing and where one area he could help with the independent voters. romney is not doing well with independent voters. >> we are looking at live

pictures where a rally will take place in wisconsin . what would you like to hear said at that rally tonight. >> we are all curious what governor romney and how he's going to handle the ryan budget. and i expect to to hear and hew he will talk about the ryan budget and how he will talk the daylight between the two of them. and you wouldn't expect it to be. we are interested to find out the reasons governor mitt romney chose paul ryan, it is an interesting choice and not one expected by a lot of people. >> i would love to hear that. >> and what about coming to medicare. democrats are coming out with both barrels blazing and targeting the medicare plan specifically in paul ryan's budget. how do you think that will go

over with the older voters in demographics. >> even though the medicare changes don't affect people 55 or older it is a tough sale. it is a gamble . he's bullish all along about his ability to sell his plan. and at least in the personal campaigning. but when you come to the national stage. it is still a gamble and a challenge to sort of sell that plan by any historical standard and departure in public policy. >> thank you for joining us. we appreciate it craig gillbert thank you. >> rescuers calling off the search for survivors in iran. the focus is for recovery and

services. when you are fixing one you are hurting another one. >> before you get to how we fix it. it is not a pres pee. but we are in stagflation right now. kitchen table politicings. how do they see that in the every day lifes. >> they see it on the news. it is a sloww economy and they see it in their paychecks and see that in new business and construction and everything they are doing. can if you are unemployed and you see other people unemployed that hurts you. it is greater at risk because the economy is low. high prices. the government does a horrible job in measuring the cost of living increase from year to

year. it is not a political statement but a fact. the government going back to 1983 does a poor job of analyzing how much it costs you to live this year to next yearr. the goods and services are going up dramatically and slow economy and high unemployment. that's how they see it every day. >> why do they think it is a bad job of determining how the economy is doing out there. is it because they are not lifing like the rest of us are? >> it is a complicated formula. when theyment to reduce how much money the government had to pay out in cost of the lifing adjustments. and so this is how they are looking at 28 years. it is the cpi .

it is a horrible number. >> how can we change stagflation. we only have one tool weather. we have to cut corporate taxes and on ideas to get the fuel which is economic activity in the economy. result of that, we'll see more jobs and we'll see employment . unemployment rate come down and we'll see the good and services. and only thing to do is get the economy going. i don't know how to do that unless we cut corporate taxs and individual taxes. that's what we have to do. >> thank you. >> and brand new polls coming out for governor mitt romney following the solutionn of

the vote. how does this affect the announcement that paul rhine is the running mate for governor romney. >> in many polls, the president played ahead into the romney team not to go save. we urged the romney campaign to go positive and big and bold. and while this is a controversial pick. i have to say one thing about it that is for all americans, it is good. ryan's presence on the ticket to force the country to debate something we candidates are told we can't talk about social security or medicare. they are the third rails of

american politics and next 85 days it is going to be talked about. we are going to go broke. >> the republican stating it is it a controversial and puts the topic on the stable . with john stating that. how are you weighing in on the issue. is it the right move for governor rommny. >> it is a gold move and when i said bold i went rubio who ryan represents a danger. it may be that john is right and the presidential election will go to big grounds and the crisis over the deficit and so on. but how the democrats are reacting. what is not to like for the candidate of the rich. what is not to like about

this. putting on the issue that republicans gennerically have a problem when they touch entitlement because in the dna of the american voterss they want to gut them just like democrats want to race taxs and spend them in olivion. >> it might work. but it not only could seal the presidential race but cost the republicans the congress. >> he wanted to show two americans. >> it plays in the core themes. reach and two views. we are in a economic crisis and the republicans are

creating a debate about a social safety net. it could lead to the kind of debate but high rick and not for sure at all. >> look at how it is affecting the daily tracking polls. we'll compare those to the announcement of pat ryan . the daily presidential tracking poll and showing that governor romney at 46 percent and gentleman how does it relate. >> before he picked congressman ryan. we debated the polls and how we would talk about them today. we tried to. >> it is a gall up poll x. we try to get the answer to this question. what is the state of the race 5:30 sunday afternoon. is it 9 points for obama or a

close tie like that poll? the romney campaign yesterday, after they picked congressman ryan admitted to the media, their own polls showed the gap growing and they needed to do something to change the race. >> is it the right thing to do? >> time will tell. >> we don't know. but we said that this is romney's election to lose . truth of the matter he is losing it. from the time he should have made a articulate vision and defined himself and helped himself . he let the alabama campaign take the initiative. and they are showing, let me be clear. those are polls with exagerated samples of democrats far beyond 2008. they are acting the race and momentum. there is no question that with

independents that obama is gaining ground. >> kelly, what we are seeing here, the 20 10 election about obama care. now the republicans are putting medicare and medicaid and social security at risk. it is a risk and obama is ahead but not by nine but the bottom line, the governor is trying to shake up the race. >> general. still around. we'll have more to discussheather. >> gabby giffords, it is her goal for 17 months after an assassination attempt that legal ended her life. we'll tell you what she's doing today.
