thomas. he went out of his way to portray himself as the type of republican candidate who can reach out to different groups that traditionally are not republican voters particularly minorities and young people. when he took the stage today, he was the first white man to go on stage to sell himself. he was preceded by a pastor from west louisville who did a very passionate a very passionate speech about how paul is willing to go to places that other republicans maybe don t. and in his speech paul hit on that as well. he talked about how he s been to detroit to push for economic freedom zones and been to atlanta and ferguson. and the question is where that meets the policies and whether the two things line up. but i also think that rand paul in the speech did play to the libertarians that make up his core supporters and many in the crowd today and people excited about his father but on the offensive in trying to reach out to more traditional republicans. he had a chunk of his speech th
likes is being praised and worshiped, juan. no, he s got to reach out to the base. much like people that go on morning radio and late night comedy shows like colbert, the idea is to go to people where they are and make sure they re getting the message. what do you think, raf? what tavis was keying in there is the fact that there s a disconnect where the president is yucking it up with his base, but then black america feels left behind. obama should be going after instances where he can promote job training programs, economic freedom zones, school choice, ways to get the black community ahead. because right now they re struggling and the president isn t addressing it. that s frustrating to a lot of black american. how do you respond to your own son? your own son is right and he has to educate his dad. i appreciate that. raffi is right, if the president is talking about jobs, talking about economic development, i think this president as the first black president, feels the need
and i m getting tougher every day. now a couple of years in, juan, you re in trouble. i m scared. i m twittering in my boots here. i don t want that. serious note. here s the president. i can t really i actually support him on the drone strikes. that s why i was so angry at dianne feinstein because that s a war on terror that the president refuses to acknowledge. you think this is what the president needs to do, seems like the only part of his job he likes is being praised and worshiped, juan. no, he s got to reach out to the base. much like people that go on morning radio and late night comedy shows like colbert, the idea is to go to people where they are and make sure they re getting the message. what do you think, raf? what tavis was keying in there is the fact that there s a disconnect where the president is yucking it up with his base, but then black america feels left behind. obama should be going after instances where he can promote job training programs, economic
hopefully, this is a lesson to everyone in washington that if they do that and if they don t listen to their constituents, they re going to be booted just like cantor was u. wayne? i think that s all of those statements are absolutely right and more importantly, he doesn t pay attention to his own business. he didn t know what he was doing and didn t play attention to his candidate, who was eating his lunch all the time. what this tells you, also, is that organization is very important. forget the money. if you ve got the organization. we got to go to round three. destitute, di lap tated. how about this fix? give the land away for free like the u.s. did in homestead act. michelle, could this work? actually, i think this is a good idea, however, i think you need to do more than just that because you wouldn t give away all of the land to everyone. people still won t come because there s still corruption, high crime. i think this coupled with senator paul s economic freedom
the point is that the president has gotten his proposal together. another state of the union at the end of the month and he wants to make it clear he thinks the economy is coming back and thinks a proposal like this might juice it a little more. two sides working together. that s a rarity. kind of a shot. the president s plan would have tax incentives other federal aid to the community. senator paul, you noted, here at the white house, that s rare. a thorn in the president s side normally on a lot of issues. he has something called economic freedom zones, he calls them, where he targeted detroit and other big cities, counties around the country, lower corporate taxes and personal income taxes to make sure the tax revenue goes back into the cities. marco rubio from florida has an antipoverty program he unveiled yesterday. he says the important thing to him is there s too much federal government growth in these kinds of programs.
