What the president and no matter what the economists are saying. what america is feeling i think is vastly different. i think you are right. i think there s lots of indicators consumer confidence or lack of it. politics look at what is going on in politics. that suggests there s a lot of dissatisfaction. whether or not the stimulus by itself could have cured any of that if it had been done differently? i don t is a very big problem. i don t know. this is a very big problem. if the stimulus had rolled out faster maybe some would think differently. but it took a while there s bureaucracy around the spending of that money. greta: maybe things will turn around. joe, thank you. love your paper. coming up, is iran s president now threatening the united states? ambassador bolton goes on the record, next. christine o donnell taking shots from every direction. in minutes she talks about the controversy including the
Give-and-take. it is something that voters are asking for. what they don t want is the slash and burn. i brought some of those ads to you, voters hate that. greta: i think they say they hate them. but i think they watch them. i cannot believe, for russ feingold say we need move forward is that real lay effective way to get a vote? ron johnson to criticize him and say he s a 30 year politician, really? except that reminds people of what they don t like about washington. the feeling is, unless you make a change, this is why republicans are doing well in so many places, unless you make a change it will seem like you are slipping backyard backward. remember wisconsin voters, like you are nicer, gentler. greta: that you i ll be sweeter. and they don t interrupt. greta: whoops, i interrupted you too. it is a different style. would you never run those ads in new york state. if you are in new york city
Senate republicans have blocked a bill to repeal the law banning gays from serving openly in the military. democrats fell short of the 60 votes needed to advance the legislation. gop lawmakers argued they weren t given enough leeway to offer amendments to the policy bill. the white house announcing today top economic adviser larry summers plans to leave the administration at the enter of the year. at the end of the year. saying he will return to harvard. his departure amid a sluggish economic recovery unemployment rates suspended near 10%. summers will be the third high level member of the obama economic team to leave this year. i m ainsley earhardt we return to on the record with greta. thanks for watching fox. greta: november 2nd, almost here. final stretch, politicians are pulling out all stops when it comes to ads. pollster frank luntz goes on the record. nice to see you.
Supposed to do the mandate was supposed to fund it. the amount that people contributed so it would be deficit new that is deficit neutral, you have virginia, missouri, also that funding is being atack, i don t know how the courts are going to rule, the funding aspect is being attacked. i m not a lawyer greta: quit bragging! it is a dangerous precedent to allow the u.s. congress to mandate to you on what product or service you have to buy with your money. it has always been assumed we can tax you and spend the money. we have never crossed that line in the commerce clause. greta: that was the one thing it want called a tax. now in court the lawyers are calling it a tax, interesting. the flip side plays games with the words as well. here s the problem with the individual mandate. new penalty on individuals and new mandate which i believe to be unconstitutional. second, the way in is constructed, you don t have to
There are a lot of people who may not be active in the tea party movement, particularly political independents who care about fiscal issues that concerned about the direction the country is headed and the direction washington is head. which is why you see so much intensity and engagement of political process. greta: is your party going to support christine o donnell in delaware? i think everybody has rallied behind her. she our obviously, there was a spirited she is our nominee. obviously, there was a spirited primary. you trust the voters. the voters decided. we will do everything we can to help her get elected in november. greta: interesting times. certainly are. greta: that you sir. we know the republicans are fighting to take back congress. what happens if they win? do they have a plan to chip away at president obama s agenda piece by piece? how would that work? joining us republican congressman greg wall done. good evening, tell me what is
Was a motion to get the bill on the floor. we were able to get the number of vote that was necessary to prerent that. what they are trying to do with the defense authorization bill is vote it up with unrelated things. one is the dream act. another issue is don t ask, don t tell. all of which i think are designed to spike turn out for democrats on election day. and don t have anything to do with the unlying bill which is the legislation that provides the funding we need for our men and uniform. greta: don t ask, don t tell, we are close to the midterm elections the extension of the bush tax kits we knew all these things were going to happen now. how did the democrats, how did they explain it is not political since it is being done before election? obviously, we need do a defense authorization bill. it is hard to say with a straight face this isn t politically motivated when you
There s been a lot of that stuff. i that i is right. part of the problem is, macro economists look at the world one way. most people are microeconomists. they look at what is going on in their family. what do they see around them and in their communities. when it comes to the stimulus that has been part of the issue. we did a poll at the journal, showed 30% of people think the stimulus is a great idea. 30% think it is a terrible idea. 40% still don t because they can figure out from looking around in their own universe, what has it done for us? they read that these projects rolled out much more slowly than words shovel-ready might have you believe that s what we are looking at. greta: i realize that unemployment is a if you drive up and down main street, towns, some shops shutdown signs for lease. it didn t look like everything is buzzing and humming and things are going well, no hart
Here last night, it is being reported he s trying to secure additional weapons from the united states, including those cluster buster bombs, bunker bombs. is that pause they truly intend to use that or is that is that because they truly intend to use that or is that a gesture to deter iran? israel today has the capability to destroy what we know about iran s nuclear weapons program. if they had more sophisticated weapon and delivery systems it would be easier for them to do it. i think israel is preparing for the contingency of striking iran s nuclear weapons program. at the same time they are under enormous pressure from the obama administration not to do so. i think that pressure is having its effect. but the consequence, left s be clear if israel does not strike since i see no way the obama administration will strike, iran will get nuclear weapons sooner rather than later. greta: now over to the
Articulate them and explain the issues. she has to be competent not just her every candidate has to show they are connected to the community they understand what the people want and they are able to greta: that is not a huge threshold. not like a multiple choice test. if you look at what thief done to christine, they ve put her outside of that she said, as she called herself a whacko. someone out there on the extreme. she is not. [ talking over each other ] greta: it is one thing to say you don t agree with the candidate. another thing to say she unqualified. i never could figure out what they are trying to do is discredit her. trying to say she is she shouldn t be in the halls and making these decisions. that s she is the only person that can turn that around. if she is given the opportunity, she will. i think tonight s interview from everything i ve heard, i didn t get a chance to see it
And saw those ads you would turn them off in five seconds. they work in wisconsin, minnesota. greta: i would think yes in general. i think we are in a different time. i want to know, what are you gonna do about the problems? i don t want platitudes, we need to move forward and criticism of the opponent that he s a career politician. both ads left me i thought they were both bad, boring. the first step is to know that they know you understand. they know you care. they know you give a darn. greta: i didn t get that from either one. good thing i m not voting in wisconsin. the next ads i bring you, will be more of your style. greta: i don t like the ones that are critical where they trash either other. we had a democratic candidate on the other night false lay accused by his republican opponent about having some election conversion to something. clearly was not a conversion he had been involved for a long tile, his position. i like an ad to give me
