That they may need those pesky white workingclass men to enact a president ial election. Governor Mike Huckabee will react to my angle and just a moment. When it comes to the immigration debate, media types are working overtime to set trump up as a bad guy. Lara logan with cant miss analysis, and that disgraced cook county prosecutor, she is a travesty. The smollett fiasco, kim foxx now knows why she is coming under attack. Her expo nation as a draw draw but first, democrats workingclass blues. That is the focus of tonights angle. With the russia collusion fantasies going up in flames, democrats are trying to find new meaning in their political live lives. To satisfy their leftwing corps, well, they are dabbling with socialism and racialized in almost every issue out there imaginable. That is obviously not enough to enact in 2020 because of may stoke their radical core repels the working my class of voters that are not in the millions for donald trump or 2016. So i think democrats are in something of a conundrum here. For all their bluster about trumps vulnerability, they are the ones with a big problem. Unless you think steelworkers and, lets say, the rust belt are clamoring for this message. We have a president today who is a racist. Who is a sexist. Who is a homophobe. Who is a xenophobe, and who is a religious bigot. This country continues to be plagued by institutional racism and racial inequality. Laura now are coal miners families in West Virginia excited about this . Hundreds of years of the slavery in institutional racism have caused massive inequity and harm to black people and has held black communities back for generations from achieving their full potential. Laura modified Union Workers in michigan . Is this the approach they have been waiting for . Our planet is in peril. We need to be bold. Theres a lot of people now that are going back on the Green New Deal, they say its impractical, it is too expensive, oh, its if we use to govern our dreams that way, we would have never gone to the moon. Laura for their new oracle is part social media ways and part socialist trendsetter, democrats risk and exodus of workingclass voters. The idea that you can be poor and benefit from the color of your skin does not compute for a lot of people. Its very painful to admit that you had advantages. Laura in 2016, white voters constituted more than 74 of all voters, according to pew research. Remember, obama did very well in the voting bloc in both 2008 and 2012. Yet some democrats seem to be actually working overtime to scare off as many white male voters as possible. It will be much more possible Going Forward in the way that i talk about our marriage and also the way i acknowledge our truth of the criticism that i have enjoyed white privilege. Absolutely, undeniable. I have been arrested twice in my life. Those mistakes didnt end up divining me or narrowing my options in life. A lot of it has to do with the fact that i am a white man. Laura [laughs] unbelievable. Even old joe biden is trying to play rachel catch racial catch up. He recently apologized to anita hill for the whiteness of the Senate Judiciary committee. There were a bunch of white guys. She faced a committee that didnt fully understand what it was all about. To this day, i regret i couldnt come up with a way to get her the kind of hearing she deserved. Laura the liberal media also keeps raise front and center. They make more secretive the belief that being white is a negative and running for office. Is a time to have somebody of color and a woman at somebody younger or someone more establishment . I think the democrats across the country are going to help decide that. But as a white guy, are you trying to calculate whether or not this is the right time for you . Laura they are obsessed. The race and diversity focus undoubtedly comes off too Many Americans is deeply unfair and itself kind of racist. Now these voters call themselves but brighter themselves trump showed up in 2016 and appealed directly to te forgotten americans. The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. Everyone is listening to you now. Laura so well the deplorables feel more comfortable with the democrats new selfappointed spokesman for moral and cultural issues . Of me being gay was a choice, it was her choice that was made far, far above my pay grad. That is what i wish the mike pences of the world would understand. If you have a problem with who i am, the problem is not with me. Your quarrel, sir, as with my creator. Laura if there is a poll that shows that this focus is on the top of any list of voters concerns, let alone the concerns of workingclass catholic and he voters, i must have missed that survey. At least one democrat who knows a little better about Winning National elections is warning that his party is in danger with all these intraparty litmus tests. We start sometimes creating what is called a circular firing squad. Where you are shooting at your allies because one of them is straying from purity on the issues, and when that happens, typically the overall effort and movement weekends. Laura clearly talking about reparations, Green New Deal came of that kind of stuff. The democrats about to be a circular firing squad he was referencing has caused even candidates with the best chance to kill appealing to workingclass whites, like joe biden, to move our last. Lets face it, they are zero appetite at this point for a moderate like howard schultz. That is some happening. And of course the elephant in the room and this entire debate if the democrats can attract these type of workingclass voters, is that the word economy its painted on the side of the big fat elephant in the room. And the economy, according to pews latest survey, is still the number one issue for americans nationwide. In a new gala poll, trump scoreh Republican Voters on his handling of the economy. So how on earth are democrats going to beat the strongest economy in the g7, with record low unemployment, almost 500,000 new manufacturing jobs created . What is their argument for beating that . In the last 12 months, but wages have risen by 3. 4 . Headlines like this were just not seen during eight years of obama. Bluecollar voters finally getting a raise, workers are making more money, so democrats, what are they going to say . They have a race, socialism, and they have one other talking points left in their manual. What about the economy for the people who dont have choices or dont have the education that i have . Probably unemployment is way down, across sectors. Help me out here. Unemployment is not the only statistics and there needs to be an informed debate about the economy that needs to look at income inequality. At a time of historic income inequality, should be asked to be a greater share. We are talking about generational poverty, general disposition. A nation of massive inequality. Markets about rule is about the rich taking all, its about the powerful getting all about. Laura income inequality, a longwinded way of saying that. This argument is a loser. Wages for most americans are going up now, not because of government mandate, but because of trumps policies. What are they . Lower taxes, less regulation, pressure on china trade cheating, and the tighter labor market for all working people. So the democrats answer is higher taxes, more regulations, and more low wage labor is flooding into america. That is exactly the opposite of what most workingclass voters want. Oh, oh, for those liberals who put all their hopes and being saved by changing demography, heres a news flash this is the percentage of white noncollege graduate voters in a handful of key states, and i want. They make up 60 of the population. In michigan, 54 of the population, ohio, 55 , pennsylvania, 51 , and wisconsin, 58 . Trump does really well with that group obviously. Now even a progressive writer for the atlantic noted the folly of the demography will save us thinking, saying, this is wishful thinking. First, the u. S. Wont be majority minority until about 2045. Moreover, even in 2040, 37 states will remain majority white. Todays radicalized Democrat Party has moved further away from the voters they need to win in 2020. They still have no clue. Its unbelievable, really, how to speak to the workingclass white voters, let alone how to get their votes. They look down there elitist noses on all working people of all backgrounds. And their values, come on. They pretty much looked on their noses at everything about the workingclass people. No slick advertising slogans or campaigns or candidates who try to outchristian the trump like pence ticket will overcome the deep distrust of many workingcs americans, rightly feel toward this 2020 democrat field. And that is the angle. Joining me now, governor Mike Huckabee, former 2016 president ial candidate and fox news contributor. And d dawkins, a former Georgia State rep. All right, does your party even want to turn this around with a workingclass . I think that our party has been doing a great job. Weve always been working with those who are less fortunate, and i think that were leaning now into a very dangerous place. We have put so many apologies that will help everyone in america, and for whatever reason, i think a certain demographic has gone away from what the Democratic Party has been trying to do for years on top of years. This narrative that im hearing today is one of identity politics, and i thought, for one, that white men, republicans try to stay away from identity politics. I dont think our message should be geared around white men. Laura what i am reading is that the big ap story today about how democrats this is the Democratic Party speaking, not me democrats know they need white male voters. Barack obama knew that. So did bill clinton. It doesnt mean they cash bill clinton didnt even win the majority of white male noncollege graduates, Mike Huckabee. You know this argument pretty much wider than anyone else out there, you and pat buchanan and rick santorum, you are all making this case 20 years ago. This is a real issue. When people feel like they are talked down to by the elites, frankly, and both parties come but trump cut through that. Laura, normally i agree with you but tonight come i got to tell you, you have become a cynic. The fact that you actually believe that those voters out there who go to waffle house, listen to leonard skynyrd, like to watch nascar and basketball, that those voters dont care mostly about whether they get to see Donald Trumps taxes, you know the issue they sit around the Kitchen Table and talk about is trying to make sure that we dont have any cars or airplanes in ten years, not just for the people who get to d them but the people who make them. Those folks sit around their Kitchen Table hoping we have open borders so that anybody can come into the country and live right next door to nancy pelosi. Again, how cynical is that you think that you are not as concerned about cow flatulence as are those families that sit down at the Kitchen Table to eat a rib eye. I mean, laura, im disappointed. I thought you understood the voters better. Laura [laughs] dee a little sarcasm from the governor. Dee, the split jeans and msnbc said earlier today. It seems to indicate to me at least of the democrats are starting to really eat their own. What obama warned about with the white versus more diverse candidates in the field. Lets watch. Everybodys been kissing him too. Its amazing its because, lets be candid, his supporters are whites. They are looking for a white guy who makes them feel good about themselves. Basically hes got a rhodes scholarship, the mayor of a small city, he is a white gay version of cory cory booker. Laura do you agree that . I think we have to be very careful that if we dont start calling each other names come but we need to be focused on the issues. I agree with governor huckabee, people are concerned with whether or not we will have living wages. Although socialism not in the rust belt. Laura yes, they are. The Washington Post story we just put up. The Washington Post headline is in october, bluecollar wages rising, eight years under obama, they werent going up. They are growing up now, that is good news. Laura no, it isnt, its a fact. We have to look at the real numbers. Laura you cant Say Something that is not true. Are you saying that real Median Income has not gone up in the past two years under trump . Are you saying that . I say Median Income has increased with certain demographics. There are many people laura what are you talking about . We measured it on a national basis. Where are the tax breaks . People have not seen tax returns unless they are in a certain demographic. So we havent even seen it. Where is that . Most of the people i know have not seen them. We have to have an honest discourse. People really care about issues like obamacare, making sure that they can keep their health care, making sure you have medicare, medicaid. Laura yeah, all right, joe, i want to get to joe biden. Biden is trying to appeal to these white workingclass voters. He knows that obama was able to appeal to them. He knows that it is a spot for democrats especially when youre running against an economic populist like trump. Here he was, biden, last friday, speaking to electrical workers. Lets watch. How the hill do we get to a place where a lot of you dont think the rest of the country sees you or hears you or knows you . Laura this is why biden, i still think, governor huckabee, is the strongest candidate out there. He speaks rights to those forgotten men and women who feel like the Global Economy has left them behind. Hair sniffing and shoulder trudging aside, joe biden offers the most universally relevant message. I dont think the democrats are going to let him win. I got to take issue with what dee said about the economy. Breath numbers ever for africanamericans and hispanics in terms of jobs. Best ever. As to economy since 19 best economy since 1969. Manufacturing drugs coming back. The lowest on employment numbers we have seen in years. All i can say is, thank you, president obama, he did a great job. I know trump is getting credit for it but we know who really made that happen. Were just glad that a lot of people have their jobs and after 40 years of wage stagnation 40 years wages are actually going up and you have people who work for restaurants and they say, dont give me 15 an hour, dont save me, because im doing better without your help. I mean, that is the economy we are living in. If we dont acknowledge that, theres an alternative reality. Laura is a great time to be american. Who are these people you are talking about . Laura they are american people. Black people, yellow people, red people they are not in this part of the conversation. Laura dee, are you also saying that these record unemployment, they bureau of labor and statistics, is that also and on the grand conspiracy and its all false . I actually think that is correct. I believe that. I think it is starting to turn around when obama became the president and trump has been on the trend pray that i do believ believe. I want to say can i say, thank you, obama, for making sure that the First Step Program that actually recognized that there a lot of africanamericans locked up in jail for the rest of their lives for small crimes, i remember vividly that it was obama who did that. No, by golly, it was trump. Obama did try to do that by the senate blocked the vote. Laura thank you a lot. Lets just be honest you got it done. Come on. They were obstructionist when obama was the president. Laura i will say this, republicans missed a lot of opportunities in the first two years when they had both houses of congress. Same could be said of the democrats, from 20,802,010, tea party comes in, blow them out, 2018, republicans lost big in the midterms. Both parties had opportunities to do key things. Both parties botched a lot in those first two years but even with that, the economy is on fire. The envy of the world. Panel, thank you so much. Great excitement. The smollett prosecutor kim foxx is now facing more criticism. You will not believe who or what she is blaming it on. Stay there. Confirmation. I got it what . What . L. A. Bookers book apartments and vacation homes as easy as hotels. Ridin scooter l. A. Baby l. A. Baby be a booker youre welcome. At booking. Com you wouldnt accept an incomplete job from any one else. Why accept it from your allergy pills . Flonase sensimist relieves all your worst symptoms, including nasal congestion, which most pills dont. And all from a gentle mist you can barely feel. Flonase sensimist. You can barely feel. Finding the right drop can be overwhelming. And ordinary eye drops. Just add temporary moisture. But you want more. You want relief that lasts. You want to address the main cause of dry eyes. You want soothe xp eye drops. From bausch lomb. The only eye drop that contains restoryl mineral oils. Its shown to help restore the lipid layer. To seal in moisture. And protect against further irritation. Ordinary drops cant do that. Soothe xp. The right choice for dry eyes. Laura this kim foxx character, cook county prosecutors office, they sullied their reputation by letting the hate crime hoax or Jussie Smollett off the hook. At the national, frankly, international and barrons. The anger directed toward her office stems from the idea that some folks are taking care of more than others. But she of course has another explanation. The effort that i have had on criminal doses reform that were once celebrated by many in this county, that are now being attacked because of one case, and one celebrity, i think we have to ask ourselves what is this really about . The first africanamerican woman in this role. It is disheartening to me. Laura playing the victim. That was predictable. Here now, niger innis, National Spokesperson for the congress of racial equality. You actually think that foxx makes it easier for racists. What do you mean by that . Shes a hero of white supremacists. White supremacists and folk that have issues with africanamericans for decades have wanted to keep black
