sensitive time in our politics it s almost impossible. there was and there needs to be as you say, or there needs to be push back across the board. i mean that s what journalists do. journalists are supposed to question everything. doesn t mean there can t be sensitivity or strong opinions on the opinion page. then editors are supposed to or we hope balance those opinions so that the public can get a broader sense of things and it s one of the reasons now, i think, that the republicans are finding such traction with this accussation that this was mob. the question to the immediate now going forward whether it s kavanaugh at the courts, or how we re covering these incredibly sensitive stories going forward, how will that to be done? what does balance mean any more? how are we going separate out
we have the conservative majority for the first time in our lifetime. regulatory reform. tax cuts. it seems to me that list that they can take to votes in the mid-terms is growing by the day and kavanaugh, well that s just sort of the cherry on top. joe, certainly it s important to have passed this court pick. courts after core reason for a wavering republican who doesn t like trump to be for trump or be happy he s president. this court thing is a reminder of the value of having the white house in republican hands. so that s important. but, look, i will also say this reminds me a bit of 2016. closing weeks of election. people in one party who are sour on their nominee will start coming home. so we re seeing that across the country. the last thing i ll say, joe, is the person who thinks that donald trump will stay on this message. these three points for the next month and stay there has not been awake for the last two years. so just give it a week.

62,000. had he not done those two things, is it your view that the recovery, would not have lasted? i think obama was a good slow economy present and donald trump is a good strong economy present. it had policies that work the environments. in a flip-flop situation out of the donald trump would be the right president. i don t think obama is a white-hot economy president. when he said he wouldn t be the right president is that because he is for government intervention? i think the handout level would be, it wouldn t be there. i think you need it at that time but in this economy you want to get things hotter than they got under obama. a republican might be more likely to do the government things you want a republican in that boom. obama would have done great. imagine what he did [multiple speakers]
the other candidates and that s why i always say, you know, he actually ran as a populist and not a republican and that s why he won. it s a big issue, but there s a popular pro business way to respond than the left. which is higher taxes. that doesn t help anyone in the end. neil: the president was making a remark about the strong economy and everything else in the face of barack obama s criticism, but he talked about it in one of the speeches, montana, north dakota, junior which stai don t remembe state. and he said i don t want to touch social security. you could grow out of it. economic growth can deal with problems. i don t think that economic growth is going to deal with these issues. what s the answer? i agree with you. funny enough when i worked back in the u.k. government, we didn t make that kind of promise prior to the election, we actually said before the election, look, that situation is out of control. the brief labor government built
