Surprising president ial victory of all time. Busted through the blue wall winning 30 states compared to Hillary Clintons 20. In his victory speech he promised this. It will be a beautiful thing. Every single american will have the opportunity to realize misor her fullest potential. The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. Laura that was 2 30 in the morning. What a night. The experts were proven wrong. The media told us trump had no chance. As the returns were coming and the news ancors were sitting have slack jawed or weeping, they clung to their narrative. The people rose up. They remember sick of the washington machine taking their power away from them. So they took it back. Ever since that same political media and Entertainment Complex has been trying to regain their power. Last night President Trump and his party suffered a series of losses. The democrats netted wins for the governor in virginia and new jersey. Maine voted for an Obamacare Program that expands medicaid. The reaction to the left was euphoric. Many declared this meant the end of trump and his conservative populace movement. Its hard to overstate the toxicity trump represents. This was a reverend rum on trump and he did badly. It ends trumpism. This party is maturing under the weight of this trump presidency. Laura wishful thinking, boys. These are the same experts who have been writing trumps obituaries since he and melania came down the escalator in january. They told us he would never win the gop primary and if he did he would be creamed by hillary in the general and do lasting damage to the gop. A year ago they were on tv with their hanged dog expressions embarrassed and exposed. Now in an off year election when the power in party usually loses. Even the president , he lost in those states. Lets not forget before yesterday the democrats lost every Major SpecialCongressional Election this year. Media did not mention that last night. Republicans held on to seats in georgia, south carolina, kansas and montana. Democratic losses came despite nonstop cheerleading from the Mainstream Media and plenty of campaign cash. The republicans and president have lessons from last night. I think they have gone as far as they can go with the politics of anger. They need a happy electorate in 2018. One that sees the future brighter and the country calmer. Remember what president elect trump told the nation a year ago in the victory speech. I say it is time for us to come together as one united people. [cheers and applause] i pledge to every citizen of our land they will be president for all americans. Laura i love that he has a lot of good news that needs to be shared with americans, even those who didnt support him. The economy is soaring. The stock market at record levels. Unemployment at a 17 year long. I am just getting started. President trumps efforts to renegotiate nafta and other trade deals. Those will help american workers. If case you did not notice, he is a law and order president. Deporting illegal aliens and cracking down on gangs. Thats good stuff for everybody here. The president and the gop leadership, however, they must work together. They have to start racking up legislative victories to show voters that conservative populace policies are improving their lives and making the country happier. Remember the pursuit of happiness . Happy voters vote for the party in power. Angry voters vote the party in power out. The republicans dont want to see the tables reversed in 2018. Thats the angle. Joining us for reaction is Kellyanne Conway counsellor to President Trump and the first female campaign manage to manage her way for a president ial candidate that no one thought could win. Happy anniversary. Great to see you. What is going through your mind . I want to talk about virginia in a moment. At the hilton hotel a year ago and watching the big screens. I was on fox earlier in the night. I wanted to be at the hilton. I wanted to be with the people who supported the president. Seeing the screens and the meter going up and up. Take us back into the room where the president was that night. It was historic. He came to the trump tower where our war room was set up. Then his family came filing in to watch the returns. The most guarded person that night was President Trump. He knows the deal is not done until the final paper work was signed. What we saw happening, we saw that the new york times, for example, their upshot was changing. Started out with a 7 for michigan when he did win. Then it started to creep up. We got our own data in. I want history to show that it was donald trump that connected with people. He was able to take issues that were arcane to lots of focus like trade and immigration and convert them into top shelf, he is still fighting for now. He has a 70 point immigration plan as president. Negotiating fair trade deals to work more for the american workers. He flipped states that president obama carried twice. Those who still wont accept the election results, those who neither expected him nor wanted him to win, they wasted a whole year not getting to know why he won. The same reason he won he was able to make people feel that someone was giving voices to their every day concern. The forgotten man and woman. The People Living paycheck to paycheck. The people who say the system is always rigged against me with their noses pressed up against the glass looking in. Its not like yesterday people said lets make america mediocre again. Even the republicans who are critical, imagine who would be sitting laura they were willing to risk that. The whole nevertrump crowd, some have turned around. But way too many are going if only mcmullen could have possibly do it. Joe biden said this earlier today. He called it this phoney nationalism. The reason why the world is compared to america is not just because of our exercise of power, but the power of our example. Its because of who the hell we are. The message from him we are not who we are supposed to be under donald trump. Hes very bold now that Donna Brazile thought about swapping him out and him in. Biden knows that people looked up and saw an economy not even at 2 growth. We had for decades before 2007 that had 3 or. Laura the stuff you have guys have done. The nafta renegotiation. Those are big things. But we still need happy voters. They were happy under reagan. Voters were happy in the first few years of bush. A lot of anger out there. That trump and that victory speech, i am the president of all americans. Will we see him travel the country, the pockets that dont support him . Yes. Hes gone to places that didnt support him. He put that in the speech. The speech, the two versions were prepared. He put that in there and adlibbed after that, even though who did not support me, there were a few of you. I harken back to that passage. He means it. People will benefit from tax cuts who did not support him. When i travel across the country, i dont ask the people who they voted for. When i went to a manufacturing plant in virginia, i didnt say raise your hands if you voted for trump. You are right about the optimism. Laura it hasnt clicked yet. Well, people are nervous. There are 20 million americans without health care. This president , he was called the most prolife president in modern american history. People dont fully appreciate what that means. This person who gave the most impassioned defense of life on a debate stage. Laura why are his numbers so low . Thats approval ratings. I wrote a piece 18 years ago. People are angry about any number of things. The Mainstream Media numbers are much lower than his. Laura what about gillespie . The only guy who did fundraising for him was george w. Bush. What does that tell you about bushism and the old Establishment Party . Well, he worked for the bushes. Campaigns matter. We have known ed gillespie for a long time. He is a great person. Voters have to figure out what this means. You want to articulate lower taxes and border security, which means the wall and other mechanisms to stop the drugs and illegal aliens from coming over the border. It means not being baited down every single rabbit hole. We need Public Servants who want to run. In 2009, we win virginia and one month later what happened . Scott brown. Laura i remember. This happens sometimes. I think there are dynamics in play in 2018 that go against the party in power the republicans. They will have a fundraising advantage and people are not seeing much from the democrats. Their message is not what it is a year ago. Laura its a resistance of anything. This is virginia which is a blue state in many ways. Women, minorities, those blocks went big for democrats. White males 40 to 64 went to gillespie. We have to broaden out of the reach of the republicans. Thats true and it matters. Donald trump lost among women by 12 or 13 points to Hillary Clinton. But not by 20. He had this message where he was consistent. He was cons vincing. They saw strong leadership. He was giving voice to working men and women. He had a message of patriotism too. He said, i will go around the world and deal with other things. He is on his fifth trip right now. He makes no apology that american needs borders and makes its own decision. His goal is to keep us safe and prosperous here. He expects other countries to think the same thing. Laura the muller investigation he could not have predicted. He knew it would be a tough sled. Its like nothing changed. He didnt expect mueller. How distracting is that on a day to day basis . The reports are he is obsessed with the investigation and Jeff Sessions recusing himself. Is he . The only thing he is obsessive about is succeeding for the nation. He rarely talks about the investigation. He also said everybody will comply with it. We hope it finishes fully and soon. Laura Kellyanne Conway, happy anniversary. Congrats a year ago. Donald trump elevated women. Laura President Trump is in a meeting with president xi jinping right now. Lets listen in. I was traveling and you were so nice. You said lets do a quick dinner. It lasted at least 2 hours and we enjoyed every minute of it with your beautiful wife and melania together. Their relationship is a great one and our relationship is a great one. Our meeting this morning in front of your representatives and my representatives was excellent. Discussing north korea. And i do believe there is a solution to that, as you do. Discussing trade with the United States. Knowing that the United States really has to change its policies. They have gotten so far behind on trade with china. And frankly with many other countries. I have Great Respect for you because you are representing china. Its too bad that past administrations allowed it to get so far out of kilter. But, we will make it fair. It will be tremendous for both of us. My feeling toward you is an incredibly warm one. There is great chemistry. I think we will do tremendous things for both china and the United States. Its a very, very great honor to be with you. Thank you very much. The hosting of the military parade this morning was magnificent the world was watching. I have already had people calling from all parts of the world. They were all watching. Nothing you can see is so beautiful. I want to thank you for the warm welcome. I look forward to many years of success and friendship working together to solve not only our problems but World Problems and problems that are a great danger to security. I believe we can solve almost all of them and probably all of them. Thank you very much for having us. I very much appreciate it. [silence] laura a bilateral press conference with President Trump and president xi jinping. Cozy there their relationship. Up next, why the future of the gop depends on the conservative populace and we may see the death rattly of the gop establishment. Liberty mutual saved us almost eight hundred dollars when we switched our auto and home insurance. Liberty did what . Yeah, they saved us a ton, which gave us a little wiggle room in our budget. Wish our insurance did that. Then we could get a real babysitter instead of your brother. Hey, welcome back. This guy. Right . Yes. Ellen. Thats my robe. You could save seven hundred eighty two dollars when liberty stands with you. Liberty mutual insurance. Thats why a cutting edgeworld. University counts on centurylink to keep their global campus connected. And why a Pro Football Team chose us to deliver fiberenabled broadband to more than 65,000 fans. And why a leading car brand counts on us to keep their Dealer Network streamlined and nimble. Businesses count on communication, and communication counts on centurylink. Our recent online sales success seems a little. Strange . Nk na. Ever since we switched to fedex ground business has been great. Theyre affordable and fast. Maybe too affordable and fast. What if. People arent buying these books online, but they are buying them to protect their secrets . . hi bill. If that is your real name. Its william actually. Hmph affordable, fast fedex ground. Asia. Vicepresident pence played the role of comforter and chief meeting with survivors of sundays Horrific Church massacre in sutherland springs, texas. Faith and prayer in the tragedys wake have been maligned by religious bigots. The vicepresident made sure to show case the power that faith and prayer has here. We are with you. The American People are are you. As the president said on sunday halfway across the world, we will never leave your side. The lord is close to the broken hearted. Laura vicepresident pence met with the victims being treated and received a briefing from Law Enforcement officials on the latest in the investigation. This evening, he helped lead an amazing prayer vigil for the shooting victims and their families. Lets move on to the next story. Populism and the gop. Republican ed gillespie flamed out in virginias governors race losing by nearly 9 points. The only president who helped gillespie was his old boss george bush. Remember how helpful he was when jeb needed his help. Gop candidates cant keep trump at arms length until the last minute and expect him to energize the base. Its not going to happen. Its inauthentic. Joining us for reaction are two people who know about getting republicans elected. Ed rollins who managed reagans election and cory, a good friend of the president. Happy anniversary. This is a fun anniversary night. This is like old gang week on the show. Gillespie goes down in new jersey. No one expected kim to win. Any lessons last night in the loss for republicans . The lessons are clear. You cant be a little bit pregnant. You cant decide to engage and then take it back and then say i want the president but i dont want him to campaign with me. The American People one year ago today voted for fundamental and economic change in washington, d. C. Thats why donald trump won 30 states against Hillary Clinton one year ago. You can embrace that and bring change or say we will make change. What happened in virginia, you didnt have candidates who were fully embracing the trump agenda to bring change to watch. Laura President Trump did not win in virginia. I was with him in that last night in virginia. The cold night where people waited 7 hours to see him. But he still could not win in virginia a year ago tonight. What lessons from last nights losses . Well, first we made too much of a deal with new jersey and virginia. New jersey is kristie getting himself out of scandals. Virginia is not an armed state anymore. I have been in politics 50 years. Its changed. It used to be a mixed state. Northern virginia dominates. 222,000 votes were the advantage in northern virginia. 20,000 less than the statewide maternalin. Those were the people that donald trump is trying to change. The key thing is republicans have to get some stuff done. You cant be for trumps programs and not for trump. I saw this with ronald reagan. A traveled across the country with him campaigning for candidates. He endorsed every candidate that wanted his endorsement. That was not the key to the success. The key is when a candidate says elect me. I want to support ronald reagan. Heck was a perfect example. He had no chance of winning. He said i will vote for reagan and he run. The republicans in races across the country have to say the president has the same agenda we support. Support the president and then you will build a base. We are not a majority party. We run a plurality. We won states we did not expect to win. We are still not the majority. We have to pass taxes and fix the health care system. Laura do you agree, ed . We need happy voters. I know that sounds simplistic. We need people to be happy in 2018. If they are ticked off, that means the resistance is winning. We need people to see that conservative populace policies cracking down on crime and tax reform and health care will make their lives better. Anyone disagree . The voters vote when the economy is good they vote in keeping the party in power. When washington doesnt deliver, and they have not delivered for 30 years. People vote for change. If if administration doesnt get tax cuts done, they dont build the wall and dont get repeal and replace done, we will see a revolution moving to the other side because the Republican Party doesnt deliver on their promises. Laura that was lindsey graham. This is what he said today. Our problem is our base is unenthusiastic. We have done things with not cuth taxes or reforming health care. Laura i think he is right on thisy. He could not be more right. We cant be a party of hairston. We have to be a party of fighters. We have to fight and sell our program. Why cant we communicate . If you sell taxes. The administration has to decide these are the president s programs. This is what the house and the senate will sell. Make it clear. It will take
