Americans will reelect trump. Why the book . Guest i working on the super pac to get 20 of the black vote for the president in eight states. The reason i thought it would be interesting to take a look at how did black americans become democrats from overwhelmingly for 71 yearse gop or so. Host bruce everly as your coauthor. Back in 2016 the president as a candidate received approximately 8 of the africanamerican vote. How does that compare to previous president s and how do you get to 20 in 2020 . Guest it is midland, higher than goldwater, a couple other books. Is lower than several president s but its interesting to take a. The gop occupied the moral high ground for 71 years. Herbert hoover decided he wanted a Lily White Republican Party in the south. Stop meeting with black individuals resegregated the white house. Franklin cites him as the pivotal guy who started the exit us from the Republican Party for black americans. Was atsome help and that the same time my parents and 6 million other individuals left the south and they were now voters in the north, midwest, and west. The fdr folks said we cant sell the Democratic Party these individuals from the south note the Democratic Party and the south is the party of segregation jim crow laws, the clan, etc. They launched a Public Relations campaign. Fdr and his wife were doing the same things republicans used to do, meeting with black leaders making sure it was in the prominent black papers at the time. Eleanor was hosting either the wives of prominent black men or prominent black women in their own right. He got 30 something. We are not sure. Gallup started polling at 35 and he got 76 of the black vote in 1936. Essentially the short version of the book is, republicans dropped the ball, conservative movement dropped the ball not enforcing the Civil Rights Act not enforcing the 15th amendment and not supporting the Civil Rights Act bill buckley was more concerned with polish Shipyard Workers voting in free elections than he was my mother and grandmother voting in free elections in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Host you write if donald trump wins 20 or 30 of the black vote he will have taken a major step toward reestablishing the nearly Unbreakable Alliance black americans had within the Republican Party after the assassination of abraham lincoln. To do so he must end the division that has existed between republicans and black americans since 1964. My question, how do you get there . Admit republicans need to having once had the moral high ground they lost it. As a precursor to talking about regaining the moral high ground on a range of issues including School Choice, jobs, wages going up, performance on the economy, securing the border, defending the Second Amendment and criminal Justice Reform. The second thing that has to happen, the super pacs are going to do their jobs. Theres always three of them that will broadcast those messages greatly to black voters. The Trump Campaign committed to doing so i believe. Big question is what will the Republican Party do because the Republican Party has not asked for the business in 70 years and has created a vacuum where democrats can say , voteng about republicans democratic because republicans want to kill your dog and your mom. That isolation has destroyed the brand which is why we say the president can turn fdr strategy on its head in order to get the 20 . Aboutthe president talked one of the moments in the 2016 campaign in which he told africanamerican voters what have you got to lose. He felt it was the right thing to do and the president told reporters he thought that was one of the most significant moments in the 2016 campaign. Would you agree . Guest guest i think it was a significant moment in American History or at least this part of American History because the gop has not asked black voters for their support. The president was actively campaigning for black support with that statement. 10 millionending ig the super bowl believe there is now one of the women that he hardened is now in johnfor Congress Lewis is see in georgia. Host this is from the Washington Post back in january. The headline black americans deeply pessimistic about the country under trump that me show you what the post is reporting. President trump made a stark appeal during the 26 election when he asked what if you got to lose. With as later deeply pessimistic assessment of their place in the u. S. Under a leader seen by an overwhelming majority as racist. The findings come from the Washington Post poll of africanamericans nationwide which reveals fears about whether their children will have a fair shot to succeed and a belief that White Americans do not fully appreciate the discrimination black people experience while personally optimistic but their own lives black americans offer of weaker view about their community as a whole. They expressed determination to try to limit the president to a single term in office. Guest well, theres so many things im surprised Washington Post has not run i runs wild there are a number of polls that show the president is in striking range of that 20 necessary to win in the swing states. I was in School Choice warrior but i was always questioning whether School Choice and Educational Opportunity would ever translate and support at the polls. Expandings were Political Capital and principal beneficiary were democrats, their children, etc. That was answered in florida where 18 of africanamerican women, 100,000, three times ron desantis margin of victory voted not by race for the black candidate or not by party for the democratic candidate, but voted for ron desantis and elected him on the School Choice issue to the governorship in florida. There was a hill harris poll six weeks ago and it said black voters overwhelmingly support democrat. Trump with only 15 . 15 you and the entire south. Maybe even virginia. Poll, mostin that polls do not have a big enough sample size in other words the margin of error for black voters is larger than the entire population. Maleshat 31 of black support the president against a generic democrat. A number of other polls talk about job approval or something other than voter intention. They asked the voter intention question. There are a number of other polls that have 49 of africanamericans approving of the president s economic job performance. Have are polls that majority of africanamericans saying they believe they will be better off at the end of the Trump Administration than they were at the end of the Obama Administration. And acrosstheboard on any metric you want to talk about, for instance, at this point in the Obama Administration black unemployment was three times higher than it is today. Folks say trump is a racist but for 69 years of his life but he was vetted by the establishment. Giving him awards. In one case the same award for courage on civil rights as rosa parks and muhammad ali on the same day. You can either believe that he magically became a racist lee was 70 racist when he you can believe that he must have run against Hillary Clinton for president and beat her which is why everyone is saying hes a racist now or the democrats are. Host we welcome our listeners on cspan radio. Vernon robinson his book is coming home, how black americans will reelect trump. A airears retiring as force captain now conservative activist and lets get your phone calls. Tyrone in new york city. Democrats line, good morning. Caller thanks for taking my call and thank you mr. Robinson for your service. I thank you for your dedication to what you believe in. My problem with the Republican Party is, yes they were the party of the abolitionists and the party of freedom and the rights of black people and like you said, they gave us up. We did not give them up. Choose theave to lesser of two evils. And when we see a party that is actively working to destroy our ,ights, closing polling sites like this situation, by trying to keep us from being involved in the major core of this american system and voting. You put our back against the wall. They put our back against the wall at every turn and then they tell us to accept that that becominght against us looked at as human beings in this country. Weve got to continue to fight against this whole idea of white superiority whereas they continue to maintain the power over us as black people. Host thanks for the response. Guest i think the caller for the call. There are a number of mia culp itsthe gop can make over failures in the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s to effectively support enforcement of the Voting Rights amendment. 15th it would have been nice as there were some conservatives or republicans who did the freedom rides as opposed to bill buckley deriding them. Whatever you want to say about john lewis in his young days he was absolutely fearless and the freedom riders wrote out there wills because they expected to be killed. Haveuld have been nice to republicans taking those risks. One of the outcomes of that theres a long discussion about why goldwater did not support the Civil Rights Act. What the conservative movement politicalforced the and spiritual leadership of the black community into the arms of the farleft including my mother who was registering voters in the south but there was no conservative group registering voters in the south. There was no Republican Group registering voters in the south in the 1940s and my mother was run out of her hometown because of threats by klansmen. However, this harangue of Voter Suppression is trotted out every two years by the democrats because they have to choose black turnout. When back voters here the Democratic Party has aligned with planned parenthood and is morally responsible for the deaths of 20 million black ldren and now plan bear planned parenthood is selling stoppingts School Choice and supporting the union and met the parents, cannot create a privatesector caller ared the your relatives working because i believe they are working their wages are going up and they are going to vote over their own situation as opposed to the talking points of the Democratic Party. Host thank you for waiting. Caller good morning. You. My question to the guest is the issue of unemployment for black men in particular. Theres a report that says in major cities where blacks are the majority unemployment for black men is five times to seven times higher than it is higher for black men that it is for white men in these majority black cities. Where is the effective employment being utilized in what city . As new york and atlanta, houston, these are city ions so the employment 18 , flinthigan michigan which is like 80 black and the Unemployment Rate is astronomically high. Atlanta, houston. You look at the top 25 cities that is majority black, the Unemployment Rate for black men is preposterous. Host host we will get a response thank you. Guest i would ask the caller to take a look at those numbers again. Particularly in atlanta. Atlanta is thriving and you 6. 9t get to a 5. 9 or Unemployment Rate with black men at 15 . There is a problem in some of the northern and midwestern cities that have been run by democrats for 70 years. They have so destroyed the infrastructure the schools are caused they have problems with minority employment opportunities. One of the things in addition to supporting School Choice and not killing 20 million black babies the Current Administration has pursued criminal Justice Reform and is involved with other steps for nonviolent nonsexual offenders to smooth their way back into this which is a local issue. You need to find a way to house the felons because in many places that cannot get housing. You need to find a way to address drivers license issues. Many times drivers licenses are no good and they will be back in the court driving without a license or what have you. , theottom line is expansion of the economy, raising wages helps all boats and it has helped black americans close the gap faster than anybody else. Host in the book coming home you write, whether a stream or a river, black americans are leaving the Democratic Party to join the party of donald j. Trump. Is the Republican Party the party of trump . Guest pleased to be able to announce on cspan that the ,arty of mitt romney, Bob Dole John Mccain is dead. Its not coming back. There was a Republican Party and. T was a sorry party we talked about the party of donald trump because among other things this president is asking for black folks something that has not happened for 70 years. Host what is your reaction when the president is very critical of john mccain it not only in life but also in death . Does that become too personal . Too toxic . Guest i was very disappointed. I cannot speculate what i would have done or not done in the president s shoes. Host even after he passed away . Guest i believe john mccain did great damage to this country because of him in part it failed tokeep its promise substantially reduce the impact of obamacare. Perhaps taking a shot at somebody whos dead is beyond didpale but john mccain great damage to this country by stopping republicans from reducing some of the most egregious aspects of the Affordable Care act. It is now gop care before they because they failed to do anything about it. Caller sir i have a few things i want to ask you and some comments. Back in the day when black folks i held protesting for everyone civil rights and every time black folks got on their feet to have something right to do something good for the United States and building their community our communities always got corrupted and taken down by fear we would do to them what they did to us. Thats not true. We built this country and we let other people come over here and democrats voting and fighting for peoples rights come over here. Like the koreans, the indians, the mexicans, and the africans. They come over here to america and these people say american blacks are lazy and dont want to do nothing. Thats not true. We have young people out here today we could give them an opportunity and they will go get it. America always wants to keep people down so we dont get more powerful. You are talking about the Republican Party, theyve let all these people come into this country. They did not have to obey none upthe rules when opening business and doing the stuff they have to do. They let these people come into this country and do what they want to do. They bought up everything. White america is math. You sold it to the highest bidder. Every time we build our community for an example when the black people white people got nervous and got mad. Host thank you for the call. Guest i think the caller for the question. I would ask if this country is so bad what country would you prefer to be in . Because that is a nobrainer. Everybody wants to be here and everybody will be here if the democrats see their open borders policy. At least for now it is the place where you dont have to do what your father did. You can go beyond that and achieve. Wasuld like to point out it the democrats primarily who were restricting black Economic Activity for most of the history was the swapry it in both parties that were trying to open the borders for cheap labor undercutting the wages of folks. In the new Republican Party we are not committed to open borders. We are committed to securing the borders and deporting the people were not supposed to be here. We are experiencing unparalleled opportunity. I was in baltimore yesterday. Excited to see the republican primary for mayor. And i encourage the folks to talk about three things, the first is, School Choice, to get more kids out of disastrous Public Schools that cant afford to send a bus to protest down in washington but cant send afford to heat or cool classrooms. The second item is testing to adopt a test like the measure of academic progress northwest Education Associates in case your listeners or viewers want to take a look at it. Helpers are given tools to parents help children. Total overhaul of postsecondary experiences. I talked to an old girlfriend recently and she is 67 now and has an Electrical Contracting firm and confined nobody to hire to do Electrical Work in atlanta. The average age of an electrician in this country is 58. The same with plumbers and skilled trades. Ces where you can earn welding, huge amounts of money with no college debt. As opposed to this incessant drumbeat of sending folks to liberal arts College Programs where they get a degree thats useless and movement their parents basement. Might actually win some offices in full tour. Host if you can go back to the campaign of 1964, from your standpoint in trying to get the africanamerican vote what was the biggest mistake very goldwater made besides voting against the Civil Rights Act . Where their policies that he had that black americans cannot relate to . What were the mistakes . Host host the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a pretty big one. Guest we scoured the country looking for the 83 page document that made the case for why he should oppose the Civil Rights Act on constitutional grounds. Written by a young lawyer at the time by the name of robert bork. We also looked for the 15 page wasary of that opinion that goldwaters personal attorney, william h rehnquist. Those documents had been taken by the body snatchers i believe. It is an interesting discussion. Goldwater himself says he was wrong. The reality was Voting Rights were not supported in the south. Some of the other issues would have taken care of themselves if black voters were enfranchised. Why the, the reason green book was around was that white individuals were denying the English Common law of feeding and housing people when there was no other place to be fed were housed across the south so that this was and conservatives did not have an answer other than move. Where in some cases the police would not allow black citizens to even leave the oppressive atmosphere in the south. , is there areue some southern strategy. Goldwater made a speech 10 days before the election caret across the south saying he would support civil rights laws of the United States and if youre going to cater to the racist element that is not a very good idea. About the nixons southern strategy. Nixon came into office with 5 of black kids in the south and integrated schools. At the end of his first term it was 95 . It meant John Mitchell was breaking need breaking kneecaps to enforce orders and you do that is not how that. The last thing i want to share with the viewers, please name one democrat a southern democrat who voted against the Civil Rights Act of than Strom Thurmond and they will find it is a challenging task because none of them did. Both the members of congress who voted against the Civil Rights Act and the governors who opposed it. Will connor who was not a , theyor but Public Safety all were democrats until the day they died. There was no southern strategy. There was notion which. This wish there was no switch. Democrat propaganda talking about the 60s. There were mistakes made but the switch was going on a long time before that. Host lets turn to bill joining us from las vegas, nevada. Our guest is vernon robin. His book is vernon robinson. His book is, coming home. Caller i agree about the trade school aspect freight ,fricanamericans, caucasians no matter what race or gender of , trade schools are a perfect fit for all young people. Considering the huge debt college puts upon people it is ridiculous. Guest i subscribed to those views heartily. In Davidson CountyNorth Carolina there is a welding feature welding teacher who has to go out and get equipment and materials from local businesses because the program is inadequately funded i the state of North Carolina and the local supplement from the county. His kids graduate and walk across the stage they can go to work as a welder the next day. The huge salary with no debt. We need to take a look at the death of the shop classes. Otherwise its going to be really rough when you have to do your own plumbing. Host joanna is joining us from damascus, maryland. Caller i have a couple points to make. Time, thecolns republicans were considered liberals. Even the radical people like daddys stevens and Charles Sumner that pushed lincoln e Thaddeus LincolnThaddeus Stevens and Charles Sumner that pushed lincoln. The northern democrats became the liberals. It was a switched position and johnson said after he signed the civil rights bill, ive lost the south and the south has been solidly red, the deep south, since that time. Ets go forward to trump first of all, i want to say something, comment a little off topic that you mentioned before about open borders, democrats believe in open borders. That is baloney. They dont believe in treating people like animals, calling them diseased saying they are in infestation. Proposing solutions such as modes with snakes and alligators. Thats what they dont believe in. They believe in treating people with human dignity. Host thank you for the call, joanna. Guest your problem is at least 20 of black voters dont believe their sons should have to learn spanish to get a job. An assistant manager at a mcdonalds. They are concerned that it seems where did all the black tellers go in the banks. They were replaced by people who speak spanish or bilingual because the banks want to do business with illegals. The open borders policies the thing i invite the viewers get at them did democrats support open borders or not . Those policies are a dagger at the black middle class acquiring schoolteachers to learn spanish to keep their jobs in the dallas unified School System is going to unemployed black teachers which is the basis of the black middleclass. 20 of them will respond to that dagger by not voting for the people trying to cut their throats. With regard to the Republican Party being the party of liberalism and liberation, still the party of liberation. Democrats allied with planned parenthood to kill black babies and sell their body parts. Toreduce Charter Schools stop School Choice. You guys can continue to run on that if you like but in florida it cost you the governorship. It will cost to the presidency if you continue to oppose black parents, particularly black mothers getting their kids into schools through School Choice. You need to learn how to create a private sector job because you have not been able to do so. Most elected officials have not had one. You have two strategies to reduce unemployment, one is to so discourage workers including black men ablebodied black men without dependents that they stop searching and you put them on welfare. The president is saying 19 it case and he is the just did not say that. He also created more jobs than there are people to fill them. We will have to agree to disagree. The idea that republicans somehow became racist is ridiculous on its face. Why would black voters move back into the south when they are almost all run by republicans, if that were the case . What happened in the south was air conditioning, business moving down there with the republicans from the north and probusiness atmosphere that propelled the Republican Party to a majority. The racist allstate is the Democratic Party. Host does the Obama White House deserve at least some of the credit for the Strong Economy . You look at what he inherited and where things were when he left office. Guest black housing continued to go down. It started sliding in the last term of the bush administration. It continued to slide and did not bottom out until the Trump Administration. I dont see how the policies the president supported did anything to help the economy. I dont see how the policies fdr worsenthing other than and lengthen the great depression. Cut taxesgulation and and you get higher consumer confidence. Thats what turns this economy around. The idea that obama is somehow responsible but it is curious the president is doing such a bad job why is the former president trying to take credit for it . Host for the most part this is a youth movement. This is a new generation of black americans educated upwardly mobile professional and tired of the broken promises of the Democratic Party. It is the first generation of black voters who did not experienced the horrors and dangers of progressive segregation or the nearly universal attitude among White American that they were superior to black american. The book is titled coming home how black americans will be electron. Tavarez is our next caller from athens, georgia. Caller good morning. How much do i love cspan . Thank you mr. Robinson for your book. Thank you for your response to joann. Keep calling into cspan. Dont cut their television off weve got to move on to the next caller. Also, weve got to run these callers weve got to get more callers to get more feedback. Its borders language culture. Mr. Trump is carrying that banner. Spentney that was not gladly disbursed under mr. Trump netting him a consistent gdp growth. Revenue for blacks, whites and small american is in his owners. Has had a high he is my knee growing in the white house. Hes got he will keep America Great. Been disadvantaged. Theyve been disenfranchised but they dont need to be mad. They need to become successful when the opportunity presents itself. Host thank you for the call from athens, georgia. Guest i think the caller looking forward to going down to georgia to the publican convention in april. State convention where we will continue to press the grand game with a little booklet called whichlack America Great repeats the idea that somehow 70. P came racist at quotes democrats saying dumb things which there are a lot of things to quote. The six inch issues we spoke of previously. Borders language culture. Host we will to nora in the bronx new york. Caller caller let me start off with you mr. Robinson. Trump has been a racist all of his life. His father supported discrimination in housing here in new york. He attacked the central park five and took out ads against those young men who were exonerated years later. He never apologized. The middleclass working people and working people across this country, what did tax cuts do for them . It went to corporate america. Right here in new york i have to pay more. I cant duck real estate taxes that i pay. My family, my children live in new york and new jersey cant do that. When he got into office one of the first things he did was to try and go after health care. As a retired Health Care Worker professional, Everybody Needs health care. Why would you attack the aca . Attacked our, he first africanamerican president. He had to prove that he was a college graduate. Where he went to school. He had to prove he was born in america. This man cares for no one. He attacks everybody. Hes equal opportunity with hispanics, women, africanamericans, and all. Host your response . Guest you wont be surprised that i will agree to disagree with you. Your taxes are too high and your beef is not with donald trump. Who getth the lunatics elected to public office. To maybe elect some republicans to cut your taxes. With regard to the aca its unconstitutional. Americans should not be forced by anything and certainly not health insurance. The bernieike one of sisters. If you support the aca, it will collapse and you will end up with a singlepayer plan. Your medical care will look a lot like venezuela, which would be bad. Host i want to go back. We talk about this Washington Post survey. Its a survey of just over 1000 africanamericans. Nearly two thirds of black americans saying it is a bad time to be a black person in the u. S. , 65 percent surveyed saying it is bad to be black in america. 70 do not trust Community Police and 56 rate the National Economy as negative. To stay awayneed from the cool lay of the talking points of the Washington Post and the new york times. On any index that he would like to discuss black voters are better off in this economy than they were under obama at any point in their administration. 20 of black voters are going to not subscribe to the talking points of the left and take a look at you can vote to go back to the bad old days if you like. One of the great things about this country is you can impose more abortions, more school stagnantewer jobs, wages and Everything Else that happens under democrat rule. Surroundingst your. In urban areas in the north and midwest. Take a look at nagasaki and hiroshima. It is easier to survive a Nuclear Blast than 70 years of democrats running your city. In flint, where the water is undrinkable. Again, i have a problem with that pole because it does not seem like reality. Voters have a choice they can go back to the bad old days of no economic opportunity, you can surrender your guns which is lunacy. Every black person in america should be armed. Not this armed and for good reason. Host host the book, coming home how black americans will reelect trump.
