Welcome to the standard on your host my grand with a new is no personal bill I read on your blog today that the news is that confidence in economy is down to a seven month low I have to ask a question how many more pivots to the economy can this economy stay in from rock a bomb before we'll just give up Well economy can't stand like only is a bomb here and that's right to the economy of college It's generally drawn by this about the organization and media a lot of it You know you say you're Co-pivity to the economy doesn't need no actual policy change and then the bomb is just need to believe I got them They just don't be accepted. They do you know Believe it's saying we're gonna be gonna be coming to the economy going the media or pieces of it's a real initiative Suppose just to present it'll speak and back in the matter as well The reason development was about a bear which increased the uncertainty of it The pieces of the god knows will have next year employers and individual adjourned It's got to the paralyze hiring even more than it was already being being heard So you know, I'm afraid I'm not going to go up until we have Here in Obamacare change the EPA Regents or you're even do actual substitute things not just your features So you're saying that we can't transform American with a power up his features Then you're actually part of these poll numbers We got the most significant poll number was that a joint American now say they don't get my your president Obama That is just a shocking shift a pretty policy for get parts of just of who Barack Obama was they kind of even People who didn't agree with policies or didn't think he was ready to be present Love the idea of Barack Obama and now I'm a joint American saying no I don't admire it I really think the if you like your you know in terms you keep it has been the effect of that pretty profound And you know my first little guy that's right. Remember we've got that to the data story I think the story I'm going to hear you got to notice the guy that was a good morning to the podcast telling him his insurance was canceled really Getting things through I was able to sort of don't know you know I guess the other the G to be kind of a big deal I'm doing any notice I think the green wish he knowingly Mr. President of the fact that he put that way and what was your time to do for one?

In progress in progress. Yeah, he made a sort of a great promise there to focus on it But you know the green which is purposeful that we would you have to sort of just apologize for that that Tony some apology I really did it and this is not a true matter is not about you know g. I I I Think we'll do a Think we'll think we'll think about what she was all about you and your mama transformation I really know you're not off to do anything I think they'll go together with Iran. I mean the notion that he really cares about the Iran nuclear program And I'll be able to make you well actually give me a video though.

We also say don't write to a bitch You know, you know, you know, what's wrong? Everybody can't I come over to all this over the years? I heard 50 things But I do think once the next month or once the sort of a jump to the max or once the you know What once gets at a big point? It's hard to put back together again I think that's what I find out because I have just amazed over the nature of the Schedule of your 40th I'm going to speak on what's closer to the social turn the tide of the I mean speech people really are not so silly.

I think I really have a chance to get to now and and You know people they're sort of they talk about the situation But we're never quite actual actual thing happening, you know, we're even showing up for you know the fenest You'd be being straight or you know actual actions with respect to different nations You can't just give a speech and then assume that that's gonna be like reality We're having a not like a reality that's sort of backlash and that sort of your become a moment where people say you know What are we just just talk? There are actions of the rest of the present for example I've known out that President Obama's leadership has inspired China to move forward on claims on islands in the But Japan and announced America you can't fly to our airspace on reporting to us and it's to me a so far relatively safe Example in other words the state's are high the point that there is no consequence for universe when you have a present Who's theest we've got deals and avoid conflict and not leave our enemies are gonna notice and take advantage of it You know, I think I was in every left. I left Thursday morning and The fact that you have any senior government official wouldn't think that I'd be that with that look It's worrisome or losing confidence you guys are there, but we all kind of agree that you have to pay the fence trees Got us along the US relationship. It's really pretty strong.

We're probably there. They're probably we were gonna Reverse all the problems and they're probably seeing the police elsewhere But actually I thought that these it is one world. No people in China beat going on Let's you about what's happening in the Middle East and I think an accident there was a bad thing The Chinese decided you know what we could do something if you said that the years ago people was that he can be right I can't do that. I think it would be that a search control of the airspace over Japanese islands over country We have it's a bad arrangement.

I mean, I know what's the point. I just think of finger I just like grabbing anything you know, you know valuable The dominant way is actually grabbing valuable oil fields. This is purely thing to finger in our eye Which is important. I mean still very very important And they really think in a way that they think we are in retreat and that is really dangerous So the president can't give a speech to get out of the current country is he's in his deal with Iran is not inspiring Our friends here at home if you were advising the president I know it is not going to walk by for long camera Is there a direction that he could take because many issues are matters like Iran You know where a typical American to socialize president has to say I trust my president and as we've seen according to the polls I'm a Jordan Americans don't find President Obama trust for you now.

So what does he do? Well, I guess you know that The difference of the liberal who's moved by reality and a young friend of his Mike Ali Was cutting his my dad was cutting liberals who sort of knowledge the things that changed and we're going well So what do we think about it? And like that that is not kind of liberal with liberal with my very Ali that refuses to press charges I always love that kind of phrase because a lot of that in life and there's a lot of that melodic Well, I have to acknowledge this on the area. You know we made a good thing that I thought this would work it hasn't worked I'm changing my mind.

I'm changing my policy. I think people respect that They don't know I don't think police have to do that You know Jimmy Carter and January 1980 at the Southeast Asia Afghanistan and we were on a hostage joint on increased the wrong going on increased the defense budgets But different attitudes are so you didn't save him from the difference about it. So they're not really in the fall 1980 to the freedom rate of the field of course But at least you gotta say that he sort of showed the real life that certain is about the world of the wrong Scariest I said it's really not a hard way, but honestly just as American was most worried that that don't be better Obama He has my variability in terms of all characters Yeah, I'll inform us we're talking about earlier in terms of Iran trying a lot of things around the world It has no impression that he's even understands the things have gone wrong And they're not a real the cool just wishing that things weren't the way they are Which in that matter all the way to the most of concerning sentence. I've seen the last one for hours Report that President Obama say just in California.

I'm not particularly ideological Which is like Santa Claus saying wait problem. What wait problem? How do you I mean? There's nothing necessarily wrong I know how does a Barack Obama deny that that's who he is That's what you're logical and that's why you made this money a little bit sometimes reality is quite My ideology told me then okay fine.

I always write 80% of time I'm not sure that's reasonable You know, but the way because I think he doesn't understand where he's coming from in terms of his view of the world He could think used to believe that you know gds was right about Obama here. It's like a weird something happen There's a trade and the experts are doing trying to manage a facility The only thing I'm watching the actual what they're doing when they tell me that the diplomacy was a wrong work and he is more difficult Okay, a little bit of a good regular sector and bullish a second term, but I mean Oh, I'm a really heavy brush. He's never in years and years years is read something with something where he said gd I was wrong that that's why you see because thanks much your time this has been the weekly standard podcast Please be sure check weekly standard calm regularly for podcasts updates.
