so i work hard to appeal to the millennials. example, by calling them millennials. ( laughter ) young people love being target marketed by their births date and purchasing power, you know, gangnam style. ( cheers and applause ) no idea what that means, but they eat it up! that's why-- that's why i stay up on all the hottest millennial trends. and right now, there is nothing 18- to 34-year-old upper middle-income kids love more than soup, playah! you need proof? well, let me school you on america's hottest liquid food trend, campbell's go, the new youth-scwug line of sumes made especially for millennials. that's right. every american generation is defined by one thing-- the greatest generation stopped hitler. the baby boomers stopped the vietnam war. and this generation will go down in history for demanding different soup. ( laughter ) ( applause ) according-- according to the company, campbell's go is a new line of sumes designed for people like us-- fun, busy, youngish. ( laughter ) ( applause ) folks, i think this marketing ca

millennials do not want the united states to play an active role in world affairs.t's a very close divide, it's within the margin of error, certainly. but basically they are divided whereas their elders are two out of three in favo of the u.s. playing an active role in world affairs. go back. this is the partisan divide on active part. again, majorities all on the side of the u.s. playing an active role, but republicans emphatically more so, which makes sense in light of what else we know about republican emphases on threat assessments. we asked americans to rate the influence of various countries in the world now and 10 years from now. we asked this question back in 2012, and what you see is a very clear trend of americans thinking that the united states is less influential than what it was before. we don't state a reference point for the past assessment. and the united states is still the most influential country in the world in their assessment but it's -- the gap between u.s. influence and chinese influence in particular is rapidly narrowing and many americans t

the national debt which they will be paying in their future. >> i think millennials care about economic issues. the average student loan for college graduate is over $26,000. this directionally impacts us. our organization shows how the debt affects that. if we don't get the debt under control, we are going to have a harder time financing our education or home and increasing into a competitive global economy i can't these are definitely scary realities, not just for millennials but for parents, looking at their own personal situation and the situation for their kids. talk a little about your campaign. what are you planning next week? >> we are launching next monday, november 12th, from george washington university. the campaign will be over. and the time for governing will begin. it is time for our leaders to work together to address this issue in a bold, balanced and bipartisan way. we need a deficit reduction agreement in early 2013, at least $4 trillion over 10 years. it needs to deal with more revenue, less spending, pro growth. it needs to be done in a way that the leaders put the

the millennials are folks in this country in terms of how they look at issues.some ways they're a lot like the type of data you wouldn't have seen from the greatest generation. they carry another care enormously about the world around them, rather than what is in it for me, it's what is in it for us. it reflects the fact that it was a wig segment of the voting population with their attitudes and perspectives. it will be interesting if those folks stay progressive if they'll continue those attitudes as they get married and have children and do they evolve in a different way. did they do continue to have that at to you, it will have an interesting impact on our country. >> gavin: it's interesting because the millennial generation is slightly bigger than the baby boom generation, and its impact is profound. you're right, it's a more empathetic generation, suggesting with gay marriage, drug issues etc. >> gay marriage, climate change, a bunker bunch of these issues as a prerogative is pretty interesting. a lot of people are talking about this election as function of

tina is a millennial. this is the land of opportunity not handouts. it is a land of handouts not to get political but the more you handout the more constituency you build. people who are looking for opportunity have nowhere to go. >> have we gone past the tipping point*? to people not remember the same country? >> i don't think so. for a simple reason. charles krauthammer pointed this before we get to that point*, our economy will we are looking at. >> i don't know what you think these people read into this question, but i assure you that they were not thinking about all these things you guys are all talking about. the american dream to someone in their 20s is owning a house, watch and pension. >> i don't think so. >> the dream is dead. >> is dropout nation. kids not getting married those are all part of dream. [talking over each other] [talking over each other] >> what is it replacing? >> the original american dream before we were sold on having a house and a gold watch, people came to this country for fr

they need to understand that, at least the millennials we're ready to see something happen.issa: what is your opinion of that shared sacrifice though? do you think it makes sense to raise taxes right now given what is it going on in the economy? >> i think one of the guiding principles for us a plan needs to be enacted now but but needs to take place over time. yes, the economy is still fragil so we don't want to see anything put that ba. but, of course taxes need to be on the table otherwise we're not going to see a solution. we're not going to get both sides coming together for a bipartisan solution if everything is not on the table. melissa: do you think spending needs to be cut? >> certainly think there are some areas of spending where we could see some reduction. >> like what? can you give me one? >> as i said we're not, we're not trying to get that specific right now. the issue is awareness among our generation. that he is what we're first trying topromote. there is nothing specific on the table from either party. and so i think awareness is the first step in education

plays you had in politics, but i'm fascinateed by not only of the fact that they made, made the millennialsour they look at the issues. in some ways they're the type of data that you see from the greatest generation. they carry nor mustily about the greater issues and the world around them, and a little bit less of what's in it for me and more what's in it for us. the results that you're seeing on some of the progressive initiatives are the voting population and attitudes and their perspectives. those folks stay progressives, will they continue to have those types of attitudes as they go ahead married and have children, will they see involve evolve in a different way. >> gavin: it's interesting because the millennial generation is slightly bigger than the baby boom generation, and their impact is profound. they are a more empathetic generation, and that's what you're suggesting with the gay marriage and drug issues etc. >> gay marriage, climate clang change, a bunch of these issues as a progressive--a lot of people have been talking about this election being just a function of a demographic

that's why i stay up on all of the hottest millennial trends. right now there is nothing that 18 to 34 love more than soup player. you need proof. let me school on america's hottest liquid food trend. campbell's go the new youth skewing line of soups made especially for millenials. that's right. every american generation is defined by one thing. the greatest generation stopped hitler. the baby boomers stopped the vietnam war. this generation will go in history for demanding different soup. >> according to the company, campbell's go is a new line of soups designed for people like you. fun, busy. youngish. i think this marketing campaign is greatish. these hey these cans of soup can't get any more dope. they come in a bag now. yeah. look at that guy. look that guy right there. he's going, what up, soup? just jam a straw in it. >> it's like capri soup. and because it's so hip home slice. you're not going to see ads on the tv. that's for squares. you got to surf over to the campbell go website with edgy tumbler graphics and relentless energy one ass

they are unwilling to for the millennials. and the national journal this week the two biggest generations shaping our politics or the millennials more 40% nonwhite and the baby boomers which is 80% white essentially because we have no integration in 1924 and 1965 and we see the different directions in the view of the role of government. the older white population the beebee boomers was 60% republicans and basically they have grown very hostile to any kind of transfer programs and taxes and are willing only to have a government fund to a large extent medicare and social security. you cannot entitlements, and they've been very hostile on the vendor generation which is heavily non-white. and the here is that unless we as a society do a better job of getting those younger come diverse millennials into the middle class, nobody will pay the payroll taxes to fund social security and medicare for the aging baby boomers that connection is totally obscure in our politics and we are now in a situation where 60% of people under 30 co

this relative to prior studies is the happiest millennial generation. very happy, happy is in mexico, argentina and brazil and only 33% say they are stressed, affected by the slump but 33% feel the stress. >> must be good to be young, are we more stressed out than that? the reality is they are very comfortable with their lives, they love their parents, they love their friends and feel more connected than ever and that is helping with their happiness quote and if you will. they are less worried about driving a great car or being rich. they feel comfortable with life they live. dennis: the market will go to a more personal homey pitch and spend more money on viacom networks. the the the upshot of your study of 15,000 people. >> that is right but seriously, this upbeat generation, marketers should be marketing to them. they want to consume. dennis: the older marketers are depressed too. thanks for being with us, bob backis. cheryl: home-improvement retailer hiring employees in wisconsin, there's a catch to this story. the jobs are in north dakota. the work

of research and learning if governor romney had won half -- i'm flipping to the youth vote or if millennialsote in several states at all, the states would have flipped red. >> i read a column a couple of months ago, long before this whole conspiracy theory started taking over the nation. polling methodology today is still basically set up to undercount people who look like me. it's also low income people and the reason that is the case because most polling is done by phone land lines. how many young people do you know have phone land loans? so i was looking at this data and interviewing pollsters who were acknowledging if you are polling for a race in a retirement community in florida, your number also probably be pretty accurate. so that's why i wasn't completely stunned that the turned out in bigger numbers than anticipated. i interviewed lisa butterfield jones, and she say she wasn't surprised at all. because there wasn't this enthusiasm gap that the rest of the media was covering all year long. >> jennifer: christine and keli are going to stay right where you are. after the break, progre

we should note four years ago president obama got 16 million votes from so-called millennials. that's folks aged 18 to 29. this time that's a tough act to follow. >> there's certainly lower enthusiasm this time around. a lot of that has to do with the fact that in 2008 you had a candidate talking about a very big vision. a vision to take on washington. to take an special interests. four years later we saw the rise of "occupy wall street" which was about protesting the per saysive influence of special interests on government. and so this campaign has been a campaign about differentiation, about how the candidates are different. it's been about the gritty back and forth. but it has inspired up the young people with the sense of high ideal it. to push for -- idealism to push for something bigger and bolder. of course i'm hoping to be proved incorrect. >> maybe significantly smaller if a lot fewer young folks vote doesn't that hurt the president? >> definitely. the president has a 17 point lead among millennials and young people are very favorable to his health care bill. toward hi

siri, apple's digital assistant, has become popular, and especially so with millennials.hat's prompting gm and ford to install siri in small car models that appeal to younger, digitally savvy drivers. she'll have the same demeanor, but will also be eyes-free in addition to hands-free. chevy's spark and sonic, along with ford's fiesta, will all soon house siri. the ceo of autonomy is taking allegations against his software company by hewlett- packard very personally. autonomy ceo mike lynch shot off an open letter to hp's board requesting details of alleged accounting blunders. hewlett- packard claims autonomy's books were inaccurate when it purchased the company, which is now resulting in an $8.8-billion write-down for hp. hewlett- packard officials maintain the legal process will bring out the facts. conagra foods is packaging up a new brand. the company has purchased "private label" food company "ralcorp holdings" for 5 billion dollars. since the recession, consumers have more of an appetite for store-label brands vs popular brand names. conagra's lines include well- kn

better than others when it comes to hiring young americans.a survey by payscale reveals gen-y and millennials aged 20-30 are more likely to find jobs in metroplitan areas. the number one city, the survey says, is seattle. wages have increased 4.4%, the median pay is 44 grand, and the area is famous for jobs in tech and engineering. houston also makes the grade, with pay also around $44,000. boston's young people earn around $46,000, but san francisco tops them all with a median pay of $51,000 per year. still to come, why men and women in uniform tend to have more problems with debt. we'll talk about solutions, later on. but first, how to give your small business "the edge." one restaurant owner explains how that helped him get through the recession. that's next with bill moller. i think the most common dream is to run your own business, and many times it's a restaurant, even though restaurants have the highest failure rate of all small businesses. but we're going to talk about a restaurant that is so fantastically successful, its customers stepped up to pull through and help the business get

you haven't seen them reach out to the millennial generation in the way i hoped they would.is a demographic near and dear to my heart. they went 2 to 1 for president obama last time. we'll see how much enthusiasm, that's what i'll be looking for tonight, what is the enthusiasm in the exit polls of the millennial generation. in many ways, they were part of tipping the scales for president obama four years ago. >> that third thing you will both be watching for, all these senate races and in particular there are several senate races that could provide, you know, cushion for either of these candidates. i'll talk about that with our senior congressional correspondent dana bash coming up next. john avalon, margaret hoover, my thanks to you both. >>> senior congressional correspondent dana bash shows us which congressional races to watch tonight. dana? >> to really get a sense of the balance of power and what's at stake tonight, let's look at where things stand right now. 47 republican seats, that's the key number to look at because it means republicans need a net gain of four seat

these are kinds of religious as you seeing millennial groups once again, occultist groups, spiritualists; people who live on the fringe of the establishment, but for whatever reason, don't reflect the prevailing values and go through it. so, that's all we are talking about, you can take this same criteria and lay them down and you will get a different set of information as you move up. and so i'm going to leave sometime here for your really good comments and insights on the class so we really have just two short, but i think very profound roll- ins. this class is the last class but there is no back door on beliefs and believers. it's just an open ending run, take it where you go. but a couple of interviews we did i was going back through them, i don't know how many interviews we've done as we prepare for this course. and a couple jumped out at me as, this sort of fits the theme of at least the last class in this setting. the first is actually a good friend of mine, keith naylor and he is a professor at occidental college out in los angeles. and i was talking to keith and we were running

but there is a whole other millennial vision that actually can go back to roots and the aquarian age of the hippies in the 60s which sees the new world, the new age, the new order the new light coming down, so it's a fascinating thing. but time, historical events certainly spawn, it's like putting a catalyst into our soupy ecological mix, it creates more stuff bubbling up and coming out. yes, annette? >> we have an example here but - >> oh good lets go to the roll in. >> a few years back, i don't even remember, a man who was a geologist predicted an earthquake in the mid west region and it was like phenomenal what happened. everybody got earthquake insurance, where you would never have such a thing in this area. and it just speaks for the power of one person who was an expert and of course the day came and the day went and there was no earthquake - millennium. >> i remember it well, in fact i got - it reminds me of an anecdote here. i was doing a tele-class live at this point, one of the dumbest things i ever did that would be like this only it went live out on the local tv stations

and millennial debt. back to our callers. our next call comes from frankfurt, illinois. nancy on our line for republicans. you are on. caller: hi, thank you for taking my call. i love with you guys are doing. because you kids are the ones you are born to have to pay for all of this in the end. but my comment is, i am wondering if you have given to endicott to a national tax? -- have you given any thought to national tax. they are spending money and that would be the contribution. i am talking about visitors from all over and the people that are here, illegally also. i think that might be a way to help with the debt crisis and a government spending is way too high. host: that is nancy. nick toiano, go ahead. guest: i think the idea of a consumption tax which many other countries have should be on the table. as ryan said earlier, with a 1.1 trillion dollars in tax expenditures. spending in the tax code, the tax code itself is 76,000 pages. over 12,000 lobbyists in the city making sure that their particular groups get their special benefits from it. we need to simplify thos

unless we do a better society -- a better job of getting those adverse millennials -- diverse millennials into the middle class, there is no way to pay for the programs for the baby boomers. 60% of white seniors voted for romney. these two generations are locked and loaded to collide for the next several decades for control and direction of american politics. >> on that note, let's thank our panel. [applause] >> as you might have read or heard or ready, according to "the associated press", david petraeus has resigned from the cia after admitting to an extramarital affair. on friday, the president accepted his resignation. he demonstrated poor judgment in having the affair. president obama released a statement which we will put up on the screen for you. he said that he has provided extraordinary service for the united states for decades. by any measure, he was one of the outstanding general officers of his generation. >> there was a mandate in yesterday's's results for us to find a way to find a solution to the challenges we face as a nation. my message is now one of confrontation, but one

so the millennials in particular, and people who live in cities, are thinking very differently about these new services coming along, i think the mobile phone and mobile technologies will be as important to transportation as the invention of the car itself. and we've seen this coming for years. and why is because people are now choosing to use zipcar, they're taking bike sharing, they're even figuring out when the subway or bus is coming through their mobile phone app. and oober, this sort of instant access by the trip, in making choices through a series of mobile phone apps is where the world is moving, especially in millennials and particularly in cities. so we think that will buck the trend that you just said. and while that people are buying more cars, we think this idea of buying mobility by the trip through mobile phone apps, including zipcar, is really the big trend in cities and among millennials. >> it's a brave new world. >> it's really going to be exciting. this is sort of what we -- and our brand is sort of what really represents the leading brand in that category. that's

conservative message without sounding angry, without ticking off all women, without ticking off millennials. >> i heard people saying, women don't care about these issues, people don't care about this issues. and it seems they do because these poem turned out, women, minorities in droves for president obama. >> well -- >> two things i want to mention about that. 80% of the money spent by both sides was spent on negative ads. i think that was the main reason 15 million more people stayed home. and frankly, i thought 30 million more people were going to vote than voted. neither side inspired them with a positive vision as to what tomorrow should be all about for our kids and grandkids. >> yes or no, al, do you think the gop is tone deaf? >> i don't think it needs to be tone deaf. we have every reason in the world to become very representative of the american people. >> gop tone deaf at this point? >> we've got to stop whining and get to work, like monday. >> patrick and al, thanks to both of you. i really appreciate it. >> okay. >>> in a moment, it's going to be time to take the democrats to

it is my belief that this is the sort of oldest tongue of the millennials. they stuck with the president. it is important to recognize for republicans that it is still unsustainable. that is one major point that i hope my republican colleagues will take away from the selection. you cannot separate out -- the increase in young voters when you look at the exit polls and how they are broken out by percentages, young white voters stayed. it was young latino voters that increased. republican performance among young voters will inevitably be linked to their ability to expand their attractiveness to latino voters. i don't think all is lost. eight years ago, george w. bush won 40% of latino voters. that is a really dramatic shift in eight years. i do not think it is irretrievable. if republicans can find a way to change the perception that they simply do not care about people outside their coalition is going to be the first critical step. mitt romney winds on the question who do you trust more. he also wins on the economy about a plan for the future. the margin is e

typical typically, you're going to see more men and more of the millennial shopper.much rather shop late than get up early on friday morning. the friday morning shoppers, that's still going to be mostly women, mostly middle-aged women. sometimes families go out as an event. but it is expected to add to the sales. remember, it's not free for retailers to open. they have costs associated with being open longer hours too. they certainly think it's going to be worth it. >> what do you think? the earlier hours, opening on thanksgiving. is it worth it? >> we think it's worth it. to courtney's point, these retailers know their labor models very well. so a lot of them started to test this out last year with the midnight openings. they're coming back this year and saying not only is it midnight, it's going to be 9:00 the night before. they obviously think that it's worth their time and while. >> we're seeing a growing trend towards online shopping. how does the brick and mortar versus online fare this year, you think? >> we think that online will continue to outpace the rate

they were focused on the millennial customer and really targeted offers to that younger customer.ther company i'd like to highlight -- abercrombie & fitch. multiple checks here are saying lines out the door and a little bit less promotion than last year. finally, jcpenney. they decided to participate in black friday. this is a little bit of a departure from their strategy of every day prices. i definitely saw traffic there today. it will be interesting to see if they can sustain that through the holiday period as they move back to every day prices. >> what is ron johnson's strategy? i mean what -- that stock has just tanked this year. in some ways are you being a contrarian to buy that right now? >> you know, i'm kind of betting on the longer term. i think in terms of holiday, the fourth quarter's going to be really challenging for them and i don't think they're saying anything different than that. i think that's going to be a challenge. but today with the black friday promotions that they held, it did seem like they generated some incremental traffic so it will be interesting to

in the exit polling for the millennial number, the 18 to 29-year-old data says 18% of them turned outthe plenty ymillennial ge is the largest generation in history. there are 17 million more of them than baby boomers. if all of them turn out at the same proportion than turned out in 2008, 65 million of them are eligible to vote, 51% turns out, that would make some 24% of the electorate. that would mean if 18% have turned out, there's a depression in enthusiasm in the youth vote. >> i think that's true, but i'm encouraged by that 18% number. if you just look at the number, as it is, 18% is the same percentage that they had before. there's a concern you'll have a collapse of the youth vote, not a contraction, but a collapse. and i think you don't. even if the youth vote for obama at 57%, it's still a huge, huge bump for obama. >> and one thing we also saw in the exits is the battle for medicare is a fair fight, even for republicans and democrats. medicare, picking paul ryan, the ending medicare as we know it, was supposed to wipe out the republican party. it hasn't. >> we've got to take
