but thank goodness for one brave granny. >> granny was a rock star in this incident. came to the aid of her friend. >>> in another brazen crime caught on camera, a shopper's newly purchased ipad is ripped from his hand, and the thief takes off running with the bag and a piece of the poor man's finger. >> it happened like lightning. >> it's april 15th, 2010. and millions of shoppers around the country are eager to get their hands on the newly released ipad, popular device from apple. bill jordan buys one for a friend at the cherry creek mall in denver, colorado. just as he walks out of the mall, he feels someone tugging on his shopping bag. >> i felt this huge pull on my arm and then another yank. you know, it's just -- and another yank. >> it's such a vicious yank that not only is the ipad gone, but so, too, is the skin on the 59-year-old's finger. >> he just kept pulling and pulling and, like i said, something had to give and it wound up being a pinky on my left hand. >> the crime is caught on the shopping center's security cameras. jordan's finger is so damaged, it

we are talk over it and poor granny -- i have been saying by the time this campaign is over, we willshed, three pops to the back of the head and stabbed 19 times in the heart is how low they are going here. >> but, sean, you look at the number and it is scare tactic is not working because the seniors understand that this is about much more than medicare. i don't know if they look at him and they think, that nice-looking young man who looks like he walked out of central casting -- he wouldn't do that. or they understand that there is more at stake in this election than any other election. as a parent, you never stop caring about your children or children's children? >> the rasmussen people. people have had a lot of time to examine obamacare. the question is -- what scares you more careor paul ryan's reforms? obamacare loses. >> people are beginning to understand that paul ryan's reforms are designed to save medicare, not to gut and cut medicare. and so the only person who is gut and cut medicare is president obama and vice-president biden. and i think they have seen the vice-president

we joke about throwing granny in the snow. bank enough, there is an ad in florida -- granny in the wheelchair. i thought it was a joke, not an ad. >> on saturday, when romney made the announcement, i heard dr. krauthammer is say if they are smart, they will get ahead of the curve on medicare. there he is. what do you think? is this working? . >> absolutely. it is and jujitsu of the first order. if you bring up medicare, republicans always lose -- that is empirically false. in the 2010 election, obama had taken $7 billion out of medicare to pay for the on injured in obamacare -- that was a very powerful issue, and there is a very strong element in the shellacking that the democrats had taken. democrats have forgotten, or were foaming at the mouth so that they could attack the republicans on medicare, when ryan was appointed. the counterattack is a brilliant one for one reason. the one republican nominee that was the least equipped to go head-to-head with obama on obamacare was romney. however, there is one area with there is a

my guest is thought worried about throwing granny off the cliff. she 187 years young does not take kindly to the attacks attad joins us from warren, ohio, where she ran into ryan at a hotdog shop. how did it go? >>guest: it was beautiful. to think a man came to the hotdog shop. everyone is just so happy and so thrilled because all of the people are young kids over there and to have a victim come to warren, ohio, the hotdog shop, we were thrilled to death. >>neil: if you thrilled to death, someone going to a hotdog shipping i would be the hope to you. but, in all seriousness, you have her the attacks, governor, on ryan and mitt romney, and they are going to go after seniors and torpedo medicare. does that worry you? >>guest: no. that doesn't worry me because i know paul ryan and mitt romney will somehow come through. i am not going do worry about it. they have enough to worry about rather than getting around to worry about their health problems of the senior citizen. >>neil: do you think this will be and should be a big issue, that medicare isn't in

we remember the tossing granny off of the cliff that came out after the first ryan budget. how does romney pull out. >> taxes are a tougher attacked and combined. they are cutting medicare . why do they have to cut medicare and education. they insist on giving them to the wealthy. people do know entitlements have to be reform even president obama said so. tax cuts for the wealthy they have not done a good job and i think you will see the democrats focus on that. >> we have known for two years that the democratic attack line is tax cuts to the rich and that's what they always do. bill, what is excited about having paul on the ticket. who is better to defend those policies than paul. he knows the stuff better than anyone. remember there a moment a couple of years ago when bark obama was first elect there was an eight minute exchange between paul ryan and barack obama. there is no question who won the debate. he is articulate and understands them. i think he will make romney a stronger candidate. don't forget one of the things have known. i have known paul longer than bill has

wants to throw granny over the cliff. we can go through this t.er ends. >> and the question, do you think that biden could be replaced at this late stage? that's my next question. flat-out, no. >> sean: i disagree. >> this is a president who has never reversed course, despite constant fail nur most policies. he has never reversed course. do you think he will reverse the course with the failure of his vice-president? i don't think so. >> sean: if he viewed biden as such a liability and thought that hillary would get him re-elected, they would say he has health issue, come up with an excuse and replace him tomorrow. >> 80-odd days to go? >> i think they underestimate the power of a little bit of grace and a little bit of dignity and a push-back saying, whoa, got caught up in the crowd, in the moment, i shouldn't have said that. let me tell you what i really meant to say and go on from there. there is a power of graciousness -- that permeates a campaign. if it came from the top -- for example, a story about president obama buying everybody beers exce

you are getting out the word that paul ryan was not a granny push over the cliff guy much and i don't know if it is your word getting out or you are talking to a lot of your friends. but he has survived the initial hits against him. what do you think now happens? >> well, i think he gets his message out. the convention this coming week will be a major platform and millions of people who don't know who he is will get to hear from him for the first time. this is a ronald regan pro growth get americans back to worth sort of fellow. if we have contracted to getting that message out about paul, i am pleased with our effort. in ohio, this is going to come down to the intensity of the base. you can take a look at 2004. when in the final analysis, 8 percent undecided almost brokine for kerry and bush. it was the superiority of the turn out of the bush campaign that put ohio in the bush column and that's what it is going to take this time around. it is a dead heat. >> it is a dead heat. i know when the -- you didn't want him palinized . she was tarred and feathered coming out of the gate. ther

he has harangued in all but pushing granny off the cliff. is that fair and is it right and does it do a disservice on paul ryan when many in your party have that view? >> it is the way the ryan plan and now the romney-ryan plan would deal with medicare. there is no doubt that we need to modernize the medicare system. we began to do that in the affordable care act. the issue is whether you do it by trying to reduce the overall health care costs by changing some of the misaligned incentives in the program. right now there is an incentive to provide a greater quantity of square as opposed to -- care as opposed to value of care. what is different about the ryan and romney approach is they would shift the ever rising health care costs on to senior citizens. we don't think that's the right way to go. we think it is totally unbalanced when you do that at the same time that you are providing huge tax breaks. >> but when you look at this, congressman, i know you and i have chatted about this before, but clearly the system cannot go on as it is going.
