i believe before you know american if you said you're talking about american exceptionalism people in america would say no no no we're not like this who are for freedom or democracy and you know we have to be involved in certain wars or have a military presence in certain areas because we're looking out for the world as a whole not just america. but now that's changed the climate change and let's say you're you know especially in the republican side of the sphere if you don't say you're to accept a rip in american exceptionalism it's seen as a down thing and they're actually criticizing obama for you know for not having an american search for a while he was actually president obama at that setting speech and spoke about the american exceptionalism that's what i got for election yeah well they're criticizing him for not being american enough and looking out for american interests enough and thinking globally and you know especially republicans not such as bash on them because this is kind of a universal thing in the united states now is that we have this you know gone back to the eight

american exceptionalism is not an accident, nor did it happen by chance. it happened because america fostered a state that allowed its citizens the widest latitude for creativity and innovation. it reward success without government approvals and bureaucratic interference. it embraced religious faith, aspiration and risk. and for those reasons, the people of america have been the most enterprising, market oriented, individualistic and a first to taxation and regulation to have ever walked dogs green earth -- gods green earth.

detractors lump american exceptionalism with distorted patriotism and cheerleading.s them feel objective and wise but at every turn history confronts them. the great iron chancellor uni unifier of germany found a kindred spirit in america credited with saying what we learn from history is that no one learns from history but, he added, god has a special providence for fools, drunkards and the united states. that's worth remembering. >> that's it for us. a healthy you with carol alt is coming up next. have great week. bye-bye. ♪ hmm. ♪ mm-hmm.
