and handed better. katie: stag nantz g.d.p. growth not a good economy. pete: never cracked 3% growth ever. took bailouts to try to do it which isn t sustainable. ed: i want the private sector to grow. it was good. pete: okay now gang busters. katie: i wouldn t say the economy was good under barack obama. especially when the administration was telling people less than 3% g.d.p. growth was the new status quo. they weren t going to bring these jobs back. that regulation was what they were going to continue to do to snuff out jobs in places like west virginia. ed: that was a big mistake for barack obama to say these jobs were never coming back. they are back. katie: they wilthey didn t wantm to come back. pete: no, i don t. i do, i always do. katie: this is pete s white board similar to karl rove. pete: minimal. maybe i will write something big on it friends@foxnews.com. the number of mining jobs in my ear was 55,000 not 65,000. although when i wrote it down on my sheet this
a lot of coal mine miners and companies out of business. ed: i remember covering that moment. we are putting people out of work. wait, you are running for president and proud to put people out of work. katie: proud of it. pete: so revealing. president trump says stop. that doesn t have to happen. we just reported 5,000 mining jobs back in october. 65,000 mining jobs back in the year 2018. 65,000 jobs we were told a magic wand couldn t bring back. we were told they shouldn t come back because the left has made a bargain away from the american worker, away from the union workers who they used to represent and they have gone all in with the environmentalists, the radical leftists who don t care about those jobs anymore. they are more concerned about global climate change. that guy rufus we just heard from he cares about his job and family and raises rising. he is talking about immigration and also talking about these numbers. that woul could be a winning combination. katie: numbers in wes
he has said it many, many times, just in the course of the saturday remarks. i know this man. that is the way he feels and that is what he says and he means it. also when he says i m a nationalist, he explains what it means america first. that s why many more americans are working now, american industries that were flat on their backs, that other people said the new normal is 2% gross or less. it s been dushl that. more manufacturing jobs, construction jobs, more mining jobs. i m answering the question on the economy as well as what i said is the issue of today, 11 murdered jewish people in pittsburgh. it s also an america first foreign policy. it s not america alone but it s not going to be america last. this president has been a great friend to israel and jewish people worldwide. he kept the promise of five presidents to move the embassy to jerusalem and recognize it as the capital of israel as isra i
world, you know what ultimately suffers, the american economy. we re not going to have the high wage jobs. we re not going to have the latest technologies. we re going to keep falling behind and continue to have the anxiety we have. this all ties together. again, china has 100-year plan. president trump has a 24-hour plan. and he s great at it. he wins it. he wins over 24-hour news cycle. the problem is america is losing. 24 hours might be a little long, but i get what you re saying. congressman, tim ryan, thank you very much. it s very long. if only it would be 24 hours. china is looking forward 100 years. looking at technologies that will help them dominate the globe in 2050, like artificial intelligence. donald trump is obsessing over 1850 technology, talking about bringing mining jobs back. they are investing more in artificial intelligence, information technology and bio technology than the united states is. they re investing more in education of those things and infrast
