Political establishment and around the world. How did he do it and are there lessons in his victory for both parties . Columnist Marianne Ogrady and james freeman. Kim, welcome to new york. Hello. How did donald trump do it . First of all, i think youve got to remember it was his message out there, and many of these things you look at the people that he won in the end. A lot of Union Households that Hillary Clinton should have done much better in. Manufacturing states, energy states. This was a message to working white americans that resonated in the end. I think he also had some good ground game help from the rnc. He did better among Union Workers than any republican since walter mondale, and that was a landslide. Youre saying it was the economic message . Is that what it was . It was the economic message. These were left behind workers, people who believe washington is not working for them. I think his policies and his promise that he would represent them in washington flipped a lot.
Keeping nearly 1,000 jobs in indianapolis instead of moving them to mexico. Lets bring in wall street journal columnist kim strausle. James freeman and mary ogrady and brett stevens. Brett, general mattis, good pick . Terrific. I mean, my joke about mattis is he can scare the feathers off a chicken just by looking at it. And putin too . You want a defense secretary who will inspire the respect of your adversaries and also, a secretary of defense who is going to inspire the respect of his generals and of american troops. I think mattis, he was the first general to go into afghanistan in 2001 as a one star. This is a guy who is well known in the defense department. Hes seen as a scholar warrior. I dont think were going to see the likes of this person since George Marshall was secretary of defense. Speaking of marshall, mattis having been as an officer is going to need a special dispensation from congress. They have to pass a law to have him serve as defense secretary. Do you have a probl
City and past agencies including the fbi, Marshall Service and dea with assisting state and local police. The announcement comes on a separate limit of federal Law Enforcement to Portland Oregon following almost two months of violent protests there. Democrats are calling it abuse of power and violation of the constitution. Michael served as the 81st attorney general of the United States. Welcome, good to see you after a while here. Lets talk about the law first. Many democrats are saying its a violation of the law for a president to send and federal enforcement officials into their cities against their will. The law on that is the opposite of what they say. Federal Law Enforcement officials enforce federal law, they are not only permitted to do that, the president is charged with doing that in the constitution. The one major obligation he has is to faithfully enforce. It is his obligation to do that. They can enforce federal law without a lead from any local state official. Paul usuall
Mary, what does ill tell us it tell us about the economy . Mary i think its good news and what we had to say in all of this is we are not getting back to february any time soon because unless we have the virus basically solved, there are lots of economies that are not going to open and the fact that we are doing better than just threading water here, make gains, thats good news. In the in the half halffull camp i would say theres less momentum. We had better momentum in june and may and we are still down 13 million jobs and as we try to get below 10 unemployment, now at 10. 2, thats where it becomes more difficult to restore those jobs short of a vaccine. Paul jason, it would seem on marys momentum point that the flareup in the summer to have virus in the south and South Western States did seem to slow the growth of of jobs, you did see a lot of restaurant jobs, a lot of Leisure Hospitality jobs come back but theres still millions that that are on the sidelines. Bill yeah, striking in

The question for me the question for me is, what am i going to do about it . And ive decided im a candidate for president of the United States of america. Welcome to the journal editorial report. Well, hes finally in, former Florida Governor jeb bush officially launched his president ial campaign monday pitching himself as a washington outsider and promising to get the nations capital, quote, out of the business of causing problems but can he ride his twoterm record in the Sunshine State all the way to the white house .
