and even china where there is undoubtedly been extraordinary economic growth since market principles were put into play partially. i think most close observers of china think much their economic data is simply falsified so that projecting economic or military or political strength based on data that is substantially made up is a pretty treacherous business. megyn: they say asia will surpass north america and europe combined by 2030. you mentioned china, india and brazil. it also concludes collapse or sudden retreat of u.s. power would extend in period of global anarchy. we have that going for us, ambassador. thanks for weighing in. anytime. megyn: see you soon. it was national attention when cameras caught chrysler workers drinking and getting stoned on their lunch break and went back to make cars. this is not just any workers. this was the chrysler plant president obama picked up on
on make-work jobs that really don t make jobs long internship. what are romney s old-fashioned ideas that the dnc wants to disparage? oh, drilling for oil, digging coal, doing some trade agreements that the president hasn t bother to do while china s writing trade agreements right and left. those are old-fashioned ideas, but they make jobs. the president s idea? i guess borrow money and make more make-work jobs for a few years and see if that works. megyn: leslie, what specifically do we expect to hear from president obama tonight or thursday night that s new? what have you heard from him recently that s new in terms of turning this country around? well, actually, we re seeing a lot of new turn around and, lars, i missed you so much being away, and i can tell you missed me greatly that i was away on vacation for a week and you the week before. [laughter] when we look at just today what s happening n rockford, illinois, there s a chrysler plant that s busier than it s
redrawn and he s not exactly in the same district. for both of you running against incumbents, the dynamic of this election so far has been about the economy, the republicans making the case, the economy is bad, it s barack obama s fault. vote barack obama out. but, of course, we have divided government and congress has been, you know, playing quite a role in the economy, look at the debt ceiling a year ago. how does that play in your district? are you making a case about the economy and tying it to the incumbent. since paul ryan has been our congressman, we had a mass exodus of jobs and a gm plant close in jamesville which we heard about and the misrepresentation of the facts and we had a chrysler plant close in kenosha. that combined over 12,000 jobs that we lost. so, i m pointing this out to people and i think due to his speech and the outrage that was generated among the people and
years. meanwhile, the romney/ryan plan would end medicare as we know it. okay. if you re scoring, we re up to eight. and it s not just mitt romney who is lying. do you think the obama bailout of the auto industry was a good idea sitting here today? didn t help janesville. it didn t help kenosha. shut down the chrysler plant. really? even though paul ryan voted for the automobile loan? what i voted for was to prevent a worse bailout. this din dishonesty count as a lie and so does this. i live in janesville, wisconsin. we use today have a big general motors plant. a lot of my high school buddies worked at that gm plant. that plant was shut down in 2009. i remember president obama when he was first running saying he would keep the plant open. one more broken promise. now, here s the problem with this lie. the factory ryan is talking
now, that s a pill worth taking. [ male announcer ] ocuvite. help protect your eye health. welcome back to the ed show. mitt romney s choice of paul ryan proves that he is not worried about the problems of the working middle class in this country. all you have to do is look at ryan s record. ryan supported governor scott walker s radical plan to end collective bargaining rights for public sector workers. that s just the tip of the iceberg. under ryan s watch, his wisconsin district has seen a number of manufacturing plants close. for instance, in 2010, a chrysler plant in kenosha, closed. 575 jobs lost. in 2008, a delphi plant was closed in oak creek, wisconsin. hundreds of people lost their jobs. also in 2008, a general motors plant in janesville was shut down. roughly 5,000 people lost their jobs there. you know what ryan did?
