as soon as you start saying american exceptionalism. >> it's not an unusual attitude. >> exceptionalismt moral standard applies. by and large foreign here's come to america, i've grown up in a different culture. i know america is exceptional because i see things in america that you wouldn't see anywhere else in the world. right now if you took power that america has of the world's sole assumer power and you gave to it russia or china, they would use it far more expansively, more brutally, and more to gain themselves. america is benign in the way it exercises its power. the american idea of wealth creation is being embrace in the india and china. it is lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty. so ironically this american formula that we are moving away from at home under obama is being enthusiastically embraced all around the world. >> we're benign in iraq, for example. you say we use our power been he havently in iraq. >> we went into afghanistan because the taliban supplied monkey bars to the guys from 9/11 who attacked us directly. >> why didn't we go get the guys who attacked us d

greeks in british exceptionism.ceptional then nobody is this is coming from the top. this is the echo you are getting in obama's constituency sort of reflecting his view snrs all right. what i don't understand is what the president in so much trouble and all the polls reflect the president's job approval number falling rapidly, why his core still believe in him. i mean, or still echos what he says. his point of view, his world view is obviously not working and it's making this country weaker. anybody could see that. >> well, they are a reflection of him, but in many ways is he a reflection of them. they elected him. >> these are the people that approval rating, newspaper in montana today said, you know, we were wrong to support him. that crescendo is growing. >> look, a lot of the fall in his standing is because the hard core of his own party, of his own ideology got angry with him, particularly the young over the nsa scandal. so, it isn't that he is insufficiently conservative that's the problem. it's that he is in

i believe in american exceptionalism such as i expect the british believe in british extension exceptionalism, and greece believes in greek exceptionalism. >> this is pretty amazing mind-set. if america is so average, why are so many people jumping walls, thousands of people are jumping over walls and parachuting into the united states of america over our borders? we are exceptional. that is why people want to come here. you don't see it other way. nobody is jumping out of airplanes in san salvador. nobody is trying to float down the rio grande. anyone who knows history knows, we are the nation that freed the world from tyranny. >> amen. >> we built europe. places like germany and japan. then we went the extra step to trade with them. >> yep. >> you about the left-wing mind set is, let's all be d-list, right? let's all be equally average. and look, if you try and you fail, you get obamacare, you get food stamps, government cities stance. let's all be, i don't know, basic. >> harris, when people hear these comments do you think they're bothered as much as some of us are. >> americans? yes. >>

claim tolitics, this exceptionalism is not that we are different.re is an application that we are better or chosen, that we represent what the world is supposed to become. definition of freedom has a universal application. that extension of this notion of uniqueness has tremendously pernicious effects for ourselves and for many others. my agree. what other pernicious affects are there? caller: do you mean apart from iraq or foreign policy? host: let's go with iraq specifically. i think in the realm of foreign policy, american exceptionalism impedes efforts to see the world realistically and to distinguish between problems that are important and those that are not so important. between issues where we can make a difference and those that are beyond our capacity to affect. the arab world for years,t three world -- has been in the midst of this upheaval originally called the arab spring you. by arab spring was triggered the u.s. invasion of iraq. it destabilized. as we have watched the arab spring unfold, what we have seen is the initial expectation th

side is exceptionally bad. >> what side? side? >> i don't believe there's two sides but i have a very different view. i think america plays a role that's both good and bad in the world. that there's a tradition in america that i strongly support and it's the tradition of dissiden dissidence. radicalism. you can see from the beginning the first bill of rights was the push from below. the abolitionist movement was the push from below. women's movement, suffrage. these are things that are great in the america tradition and show us something important which is that people can affect the outcome of national policy. they can become a force for good. and that to me is one of the great things about america. >> no matter the means necessary? >> it depends. no. of course, the means matter. so you're digging into that. >> wherever could i be going? >> where could you be going. no, of course, the means matter. the point is if you look back in history and say who are the people we remember for all the great things we did, even if you tak

this is nothing less than the defense of our very exceptionalism as a nation. that same exceptionalism fueled by those god-given rights of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness to which israel aspires. writing in "the new york times" last september russian president vladimir putin warned that it is -- quote -- "extremely dangerous to encourage a people to see themselves as exceptional." in a very odd echo of president putin's sentiment secretary kerry said just today in vienna that hearing politicians talk about american exceptionalism makes him quite uptight because it is -- quote -- "in your face and so might offend other nations." as secretary kerry should know and as president putin clearly fears, it is, indeed, discomforting for bullies and tyrants such as hamas and their iranian sponsors to see free people boldly assert their exceptionalism. indeed in modern history it has been dangerous for totalitarian despots when the american people rise up and defend our exceptionalism. i would encourage secretary kerry to unambiguously explain american exception

for american exceptionalism.ies. >> hardly a ringing endorsement. there is really only one country that's exceptional. the american value system is the best hope for humanity. america has been the beacon of hope for mankind since 1776 and it's going to remain that way. america has got nothing to be ashamed of. everything has been proud of. it's the greatest country in the recorded human history that we have and every american should be wearing their patriotism op their sleeve. >> we travel to australia. do most of your australian mates feel the same way about america? >> absolutely. america is a country we look to. america is a country that we are very good friends with. we all know that the world's fortunes travel with america. a america that is weak is where tyranny and torture reign, where individual liberty would be gradually diminished. let's think about the consequences to other countries like israel, taiwan and even my country if america wasn't in the leadership role it is. >> singing the praises of americ

exceptionalism so melanau skier immediately after leaving human rights watch went in front of the senate and said that our debate in congress about syria. showed how exceptional we are he said that if there is a bipartisan consensus first for spreading liberty around the world and so this is the kind of internalization of that mentality us exceptionalism basically eviscerating from memory the war crimes that the united states is culpable for then the second point is what you state which is that human rights watch is very closely allied allied with the democratic party and so its board of director member susan molinari she describes herself as a close friend of bill clinton and an active in you know an active participant in the democratic party so i think that both of those those two components cohere into this really serious blind spot for principled advocacy around crimes no matter who does that and i think it's important for people to realize that this comes in a lot of framing and bias as well it's not that human rights watch has never condemned america or israel and bringing to that

to just say that we are exceptional one way or the other the reason we can point to american exceptionalism is because we've done exceptional things and we do exceptional things. we have to live up to that standard but time and time again washington's eagerness to involve itself in foreign conflicts has fueled six tarion divisions creating an exceptionally dangerous circumstance the us unfortunately. has destroyed and made a mockery of the i mean you know what they have done in libya will be have done through you and continue to do what they've done in iraq. something that. doesn't jive with claiming any kind of effect from the lives and yet in each case washington has washed its hands of any responsibility the united states of america is not responsible for what happened in libya nor is it responsible for what is happening in iraq today in the absence of u.s. military action in iraq is warning that it could ask iran to carry out airstrikes against the hottest group isis that could throw a wrench into the works of american foreign policy potentially having to rely on an adversary to defeat

exceptionalism. we're not those pillars if we lose faith with the core of our country. and we can't sacrifice the pillars of american exceptionalism for the sake of having our hearts overrule our heads. our founding fathers didn't let that happen. the principles that came through from the work that they did, the god-given rights and liberties that are there, they're timeless. and they index into human nature. all human nature. but they're embodied here. one of the other things i left out of that, another reason for american exception amalism, is that all of that settlement arrive -- exceptionalism, is that all that -- is that all of that settlement arrived here with a content that had unlimited natural resources. at the dawn of the industrial revolution, we settled this content from sea to shining sea. and here we are today, mr. speaker, with a president who wouldn't agree with what i've just said. if he had the time or took the time, he would seek to rebutt the principles that i've laid out. and he
