because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa p.m. have the best time. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> hi, everybody, welcome to this hannity special trump vs. the left i'm tammy bruce in tonight for sean. this is now a fox news alert breaking just moments ago. republican lawmakers have formally requested that house intelligence committee chairman adam schiff testify in a closed door setting about his and his staff's contact with the so-called whistleblower. we will have more on that in just a minute. but, first, as the democrats' impeachment mania continues today, president trump responded to the ongoing insanity. asserting that it is, in fact, making him stronger. let's take a look.

>> what they are trying to do is weaken me but it's actually made me stronger. and interestingly, if you look at the polls that just came out, my polls are up. the fund raising is through the roof. it's never been this high. wbecause people are angry about it. it's made republicans and people that vote for me, not just republicans, really angry. they -- they have really become angry because it's a hoax. >> indeed, the democrats' ukraine obsession hit democratic joe biden two senators are asking for the state department to hand over any documents related to hunter biden and the ukraine energy company burisma. here now with more on the 2020 race is trace gallagher. trace? tammy last two months whispering about democratic anxiety 2020 whispers. whispering no longer necessary because michael

bloomberg is saying it out loud. spokesperson says bloomberg is considering a white house run because he wants president trump to be held accountable and, quote, mike is increasingly concerned that the current field of candidates is not well-positioned to do that. that view is shared by a lot of democratic strategists. for example, there's questions about former vice president biden's age, his fitness, and fundraising ability. and concerns about bernie sanders and elizabeth warren's race to the far left. this week bernie sanders released an unprecedented immigration plan that would, among other things, impose a moratorium on deportations, break up immigration enforcement agencies like ice, grant full welfare access to illegal immigrants and welcome a minimum of 50,000 climate migrants in sander's first year as president. the fear is that bernie's plan will have swing states swinging away from democrats. elizabeth warren's $52 trillion medicare for all plan which promises not

to raise taxes on the middle class, a promise that nearly everyone, including swing staters are skeptical. but if bloomberg, biden, bernie or warren are not on your wish list, how about former attorney general eric holder. an msnbc analyst says holder might join the race. experts say the fact that holder is even considering a run is an indication that he sees an opening. >> tammy: trace, thank you very much. joining us with reaction is american conservative union chair matt schlapp, former white house press secretary and fox news contributor ari fleischer and former obama economic advisor austan goolsbee. gentlemen, thank you for joining me tonight. not that there is anything to talk about, right? >> right. >> tammy: let's start, matt, with you, there is an extraordinary development here. as we are looking at the statement that is made. i think of this as somebody who is actually, not that i

agree with any of the democrats, but appreciate the fact that they stepped forward. they have raised money. they have followed all the rules, right? they have been debating each other in this environment and they have stepped forward and now you have got people effectively saying you are no good and we are going to do it better. matt, do you think that bloomberg actually will do this seriously and what, exactly, would be the impact, do you think? >> look, tammy, it is a little bit odd. we are awfully late in terms of having to file and register in these states to jump into this race. we have had so many debates as have you said. what i think is happening in the democratic race is that you have socialists and you have nonsocialists. i think for the nonsocialists, most of them are still liberals. they look at the squad and quite frankly look at elizabeth warren and bernie sanders and they say there has got to be somebody who can pick up the flack with just a little bit more -- a little bit more reasonable policies. they thought that was going to be joe biden. joe biden is clearly flailing. the people around hillary clinton say she is really --

the people i talked to says she is actually really looking at it. other names floating. this is an s.o.s. from the democratic party. >> tammy: it is i find, ari, kind of strange considering you had 8 years of barack obama. you had, you know, a development of the democratic agenda and the narrative and, yet, there seems to be this void. now, of course, the people running would disagree. shouldn't the, i guess, the establishment of the democratic party allow the democratic base to decide what they want the party to be? don't they deserve that at least. >> in the modern era it's up to the establishment. there are no parties anymore that have control over candidates that's why people like the former attorney general eric holder are free to jump in a race if they want. matt has put his finger on it. there is a tremendous split in the democratic party and splits between liberals and socialists. there are no moderates left.

they ma if they go too far to the left. mod democrats like a joe biden, he has run too far to the left. >> tammy: yeah. >> i think they are just hurting themselves and in a year in which they could potentially win but not if they nominate that wrong candidate. >> tammy: and this is it. i think, austin, that for you being involved, of course, with the democratic party and with obama and the nature of the narrative of what the democrats care about, isn't it kind of strange that with -- whether it's holder or bloomberg, wouldn't this just create more division, more chaos that would lead to people not even having a nominee that would be able to garner the complete support, not just of the base but of leadership in general as it exists in the party? >> maybe, i hope not. i agree with ari said is right the party doesn't decide these things. if somebody got $50 billion

they can run a lot of ads. remember, if mike bloomberg self-finances he doesn't get to join in any of the debates. >> tammy: right. >> they have the cut-off criteria to get in the debates. if he doesn't get in the debates, i think he have hard time. i applaud that he would do this within the democratic party, not play the role of kind of third party spoiler. >> tammy: isn't he a spoiler? isn't it convenient be able to do a dynamic and not have to face the debates? isn't it stealing it from the other individuals who have been running, following all those rules? i mean this is the nature of what he is suggesting here is that he is going to walk in and steal it. >> if the democratic electorate wants to vote for him, then it's not really stealing. but, as i look at it, i don't really see that -- i don't know how old mayor bloomberg is. i think it's 75, 76. an old white guy, there have been a lot of old white guys

running. so i don't know where he is fitting into the -- >> tammy: matt, this is, of course, great news for president trump. great news for republicans. i would have to disagree that suddenly there is this argument no establishment. seeing when it comes to the resistance of president trump that there is. in fact, there is a dnc. there is supposed to be some infrastructure here that's running the debates and running, you know, fundraising and is involved in all those races. was it hillary's collapse that destroyed any kind of infrastructure? what's going on here? >> yeah, no, it is interesting. a lot of the socialist activists in the democratic party have taken over the levers of power, tammy. they are the ones that are going to be the dominant voices in these primaries. actually the establishment in d.c. democrats pushing back against activists in early states. my lord, we are not going to let somebody of the ilk of the squad get the nomination a socialist get the nomination of our party. we have to do something to push pack. i agree with austan that, you know, the voters should

get to decide in the end this is going to be a messy process for them like it was for us three years ago that can be good for a party. but, and i don't want the democrats to succeed, but i don't think this looks very good. i actually think the biggest problem they have is that we are in a very strong economy. and we're not going around the globe apologizing about being americans anymore. i think the president in very strong shape to get eelected. >> tammy: ari, at the same time, if you are looking after, of course, 8 years of barack obama. you would think that there would be some kind of understanding of what the democratic party stands for. what happened that created void of leadership and ideas of theories? it seems remarkable that you would have such a control over the government, change the healthcare system and walk out with no talent bench and forgive me for those who are running but does seem be a lot of chaos and even with the polls, joe biden is the one still leading. how did this happen that the democrats have been left

high and dry? >> well, first of all, i would slightly disagree there has not been a void of idea. there has been a void of good ideas. >> tammy: there is no new -- the socialism clearly is an old dead idea. and it's recycled. nothing new about it. >> what's happened inside the democratic party is ideas that previously were thought to be too radical have now become mainstream such as if you cross the border illegally this morning you get free government sponsored healthcare this afternoon that everybody in america should have free pre-k. everybody should have free healthcare. everybody should have free college. >> ari, what are your pronouns. >> this is the problem with the democrats have espoused. is they are running full bore to the socialist left with specific policies that the american people largely reject. >> tammy: let me ask austan. >> people missed the left. >> tammy: ari, let me ask you. >> i think you guys are kidding yourself. >> tammy: where is barack

obama. he has a phone, i'm sure. when he was president he had a phone and a pen. is he not talking with anyone or trying to have some kind of leadership hillary is obsessed with her own loss and inability to accept that wouldn't barack obama be trying to inspire or direct or contain some of the nature of what's going on here? >> i don't think he is trying. i think he is actively like previous presidents before him. is he actively not trying to take sides and choose up and direct democrats. >> tammy: even as the party collapses? >> a lot -- the party is not collapsing. that's where i think you guys are kidding yourselves. if you look at the polls, yes, bernie sanders has -- is a self-described socialist. but if you look at the major democratic candidates, if you look at mayor pete's economic plan he put out today. if you like at vice president biden, if you look at the policies that you are

describing as socialists, they are supported by two thirds of the american people. the giving the choice of medicare to everyone in the country, that's supported by a majority of republicans. >> tammy: open borders and forgiving all. >> rap par rations that was bernie sanders. >> private insurance. >> tammy: thank you very much. i appreciate you joining me tonight. when we come right back, more shocking accusations of deep state corruption that's not going to surprise you guys. this time it involves collusion with the media. also, not a surprise. and more on the breaking news that nunes is demanding that schiff testify in private as part of house impeachment inquiry hearings. stay with us. ♪

>> tammy: this is a fox news alert. new letter from republican lawmakers is demanding that adam schiff testify as to his contacts with the so-called whistleblower more on that just ahead. first tonight we are inching closer and closer to truth and justice and holding those that abuse power accountable. going to take a while because there is so many of them. dumb probe is a full scale criminal investigation. the horowitz report is expected to be out this month. i know we were also told that last month.

hopefully we will get it this month. and a day of reckoning is on the horizon from the deep state from the rigged investigation into hillary clinton to the dirty still dossier until rampant evidence of fisa abuse. the media mob continues to ignore the real 2016 election scandal and tonight we are learning even more about a massive media scandal because journalist lee smith in a new bombshell book has uncovered more evidence of a possible pay-to-publish scheme involving fusion gps and high profile reporters. and as our own gregg jarrett point out the so-called whistleblower may even be implicated in the upcoming fisa report due to his alleged ties to john brennan and others. now the hysteria we see over ukraine is just the latest chapter in what's been a three-year-long campaign. you guys, it's been that long. three years of constant lies, smears, besmirchments, to take down a duly elected president. it is a never ending

impeachment obsession from even before i would argue, before his actual election. this is now about overturning the results of the 2016 election and overturning the will of the american people. joining me for reaction author of the book "witch-hunt" fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett and attorney brett tollman and author of the book plot against the journalist journalist lee smith. gentlemen, thank you for joining me tonight. greg, let me start with you with this news about nunes sending the letter saying we want to you have a witness. i find it, of course, troubles because the democrats can veto whatever republicans want. what's your take. >> it unfairness of this. call the witness, you have to get the other sides' permission. when i tried cases i didn't have to turn to the prosecutor or the plaintiff's attorney and say may i please call my first witness? no, you may not. so, you know, the first witness you want to call

would be the whistleblower. schiff will say denied i would like you, mr. schiff to testify. denied. i would like your staff that had contact with the whistleblower. denied. this anathema to fund mental fairness and due process. it does underscore that as well as the conflict of interest. the guy presiding over the impeachment hearing is a fact witness himself? conceal his contact with the whistleblower who is not a whistleblower under the law this is terrible. >> tammy: bret what the american people are seeing. forget about your party and partisanship or whether you like trump or not. this is inherently unfair americans are willing to have this investigation happen but they want to be able to trust the outcome. process is the thing that leads us to the truth. so when we hear about this and clearly i think the republicans want to point out this unfairness and this

request makes it clear that there is a conflict and of course schiff is going to say no, i'm not going to do it. it's going to highlight these things to the american people. is that a large part of what matters here when it comes to how this plays out? >> well, this is at the heart and i love what gregg said because fairness and do you process is important in this procedure that is going forward. and the american people are not seeing it. as a prosecutor, i remember being told and taught fastest way you can throw your case out of court is if the government loses credibility. if the government can't be trusted. well, here you have the government launching an investigation of a sitting president based on suspicious facts surrounding a whistleblower that appears to be politically connected and then they lie about their interactions with the whistleblower. for me, this would be the -- an absolute nightmare. i wouldn't want to touch this case with a 10-foot pole.

why are they embracing it? because they have lost at every point until now. and as you said, they have been focused on impeachment since 2016. >> tammy: and lee, congratulations on your book. we are seeing here at the same time ranging from the russia dossier hoax to this, there's a -- not just the sloppiness to what's been done, but people who expect not to be found out but, most of all, they also expect it to be, you know, backed up by media. they have worked with media through this procedure. tell us what you think because we have got so many people hearsay and gossip and relied on newspaper stories. what's your take on that element? >> well, i think what you were saying before about the start of the before the election is absolutely correct in my book i have different sources who show documents and sources show this began in march of 2016. and you saw before the election you saw a

coordination between clinton operatives and the press this lasted until the elections. and then after the election, clinton operatives were less important than obama officials. this is one of the things we are seeing now. the whistleblower issue the push to impeach the president. this is on a continuum. this has been going on for more than three years. i think it's -- with all due respect i think it's more than unfairness. i think we are testing the patience of the american public. >> tammy: yes. and we can take mark zaid at his word that he used the word coup, right, gregg? >> he did back in 2017. >> tammy: they have no shame about that. they are almost proud of it. they were still on the twitter. didn't bother to delete them. and then we have got this -- the other whistleblower's -- so-called whistleblower sending a cease and desist letter to president trump. what is that all about? >> it's an embarrassment to the two lawyers who wrote it. i mean, cease and desist from exercising your first

amendment right to defend yourself to rebutt a false accusation and they insanely cite three laws witness tampering. the president doesn't even know who the witness is. you can't tamper with a witness you haven't identified. obstruction of justice. nothing has been obstruct you had. that's for sure. >> and finally retaliation against a witness if you actually read the statute, the witness has to have been killed or harmed already. he hasn't been. this is ridiculous. >> tammy: they seem ton trying to decriminalize the self-defense. the ability to engage, as president, one of the reasons he was elected american people noticed that there was something wrong. there was shenanigans that there was maybe not the rule of law. set of justice for people in general. trump's election itself was a statement and a desire that we wanted things to be more clear and confronted. he is doing that and as i have noted the impeachment

the effort for impeachment is almost necessary if we were right in 2016 that this was inevitable and now we see historic live that it seems to have been expected and arranged for quite some time. gentlemen, gregg, bret and lee, thank you very much for joining me tonight. i appreciate it. coming up next, the call to confiscate guns. i guess right next in line, right, from law-abiding citizen has gone mainstream in the democratic party. we have the latest example and i will get reaction from charlie hurt and larry elder as this hannity special continues. ♪ ♪

>> tammy: welcome back to this hannity special i'm tammy bruce. before he dropped out of the 2020 race beto o'rourke made confiscating gun guns from law-abiding citizen one of his plain platforms. do you remember this. >> hell yes we are going to take your ak 14. ar 47. we are not going to be allowed to be used against fellow americans anymore. >> if someone does not turn in ar 14. ak-47 one of these weapons of war brings it out or brandish it to intimidate as we saw when we were at kent state recently, then that weapon will be taken from them. if they persist, there will be other consequences from law enforcement.

>> tammy: well now thanks to beto, it is now aparnltly safe for top democrats to push gun confiscation. according to report now that democrats have taken control of virginia's government, democratic governor ralph northam has confirmed that he is working on gun con citconfiscation along with other measures. here is charlie hurt and syndicated talk show host larry elder. welcome aboard, guys. i appreciate you joining me. >> thank you. >> good evening, tammy. >> tammy: having come from the left i know that one strategy is to suggest the most extreme thing to take five steps forward and then people will be grateful when only two steps are taken forward but it did not help beto. it was shocking and, yet now the shock, now that you have heard it, the shock can be -- it's abated a little bit. and there is this now, it seems like a normal conversation to have. but it is anything but normal. larry, would you agree that this is in a way trying to

condition the american public to think that this is a normal idea that we should consider? larry? >> well, finally we have truth in advertising, tammy. we have truth in advertising. at least we know that they have now revealed their agenda and the agenda is complete and total gun confiscation from the civilian population. the guy named shield he used to run handgun control ink forerunner. and he gave an interview in the mid 70's. he specifically said the idea is to disarm the country. we can't do did in one fell swoop. we are to do it piece by piece. is that true ultimate agenda. they never ever ask how many americans every year, tammy, use a firearm to defend themselves and out of that number how many americans would be dead but for the firearms there is a criminologist in florida. he says americans use guns, 1.25 million times every year for self-defense and of that number 40% believe but for the firearm they would have been dead. wife isn't that part of the con conversation.

every time this comes up whether it was obama administration or any other time or gun confiscation comes up there is this rush for people to buy firearms. they know -- americans get it. we know who we are. we are not going to be told who we are by the far left. but, charlie, this comes down to, also, an issue of legitimacy for a government. we want the government to be legitimate. we want to be able to trust them. but, when you see political leaders coming up with this idea of we are going to take away your firearms. that's about -- you know, the first amendment, the secretary, charlie, do you thin --second amendment. does this have a larger impact on people trusting the government at all as we move forward? >> well, of course, the entire tradition and culture of americans defending themselves and defending their families and their neighbors with their own firearms is base you had in the notion that the understanding that you can't trust government to be there to solve all your problems

all the time. i live in a part of the country where i and my neighbors are our own 911. if something happens, and somebody needs to be protected, you can't expect a police officer, you know, in a marv county to show up in a timely fashion. people have to defend themselves. and that's why people these sorts of attacks on law-abiding citizen who want to defend themselves and their families and their neighbors, it's so appalling. and you know, it's been a generation since we have had a real true gun election. and now that we have michael bloomberg who has devoted the last, what, 8 or 10 years of his political year career to trying to confiscate guns from law-abiding citizen. the fact that we have him at the top and then you have ralph northam in virginia declaring war on law-abiding citizen who want to defend themselves, i think we are going to have a real gun election. >> this is what is important.

when you think about northam and this is the hypocrisy of the democrats where last time we heard about him he was talking about how and when to kill the baby after it was born. and we are supposed to beliebelieve that. >> keep them comfortable. >> tammy: keep them comfortable physical until we lee eliminate them. and these are people saying we have to eliminate guns because they care about the safety of people and lives in general. this must be an issue when it comes to the nature of the left and especially democratic leadership. >> you know, and, tammy, the left calls donald trump a racist, a hitler, a fascist, a nazi. the second amendment is designed to prevent the rise of a fascist hitler and nazi. if you really believe donald trump was a nazi why would you want to cure stale very amendment from becoming somebody like that becoming a tyrant. bizarre. people need firearms, self-defense because a disproportionate amount of time takes place there.

will. >> tammy: it cuts across politics and race and gender. firearm it's the one thing that gives women genuine equality when it comes to self-defense and the ability to live the lives that suit us. gentlemen, i look forward to this fight. thank you for joining me. charlie, larry, thanks. up next, the crisis on the southern border keeps intensifying. yet, the left in the media don't want you to know about it, of course, we will have a full report coming up next. most?

♪ >> tammy: hi, everyone, welcome back to the hannity special trump vs. the left. now, as we mourn the nine american victims tragically murdered in mexico. several media outlets including the "new york times," the associated press and the "l.a. times" wrote questionable articles this week that appeared to blame the victims. meanwhile 2020 candidate

bernie sanders has unveiled radical plan halt deportations and abolish ice. welcome climate my grants 50,000 and give welfare to everybody. as desperate items continue to object says over impeachment. wrote an op-ed for calling them out for ignoring the continuing border crisis. joining us now for reaction trump 2020 advisory board member jenna ellis and tom mcclintock. welcome aboard. thanks for joining me tonight. >> great to see you, tammy. >> you know, shocking news, obviously. extraordinary mass murderer of women and children. the details are too horrible to deliver. but really a torturous experience for these americans dual citizens mexican and american citizens by we believe a drug cartel. obviously we don't have the complete story yet. yet, the media, interestingly, white washed that, story for them was the history of this particular

group of mormons who splintered off and moved to mexico as opposed to the shocking nature of what it would mean for the cartels to implement this against women and children at all. jenna, isn't it really the story? isn't this story the chaos and the nature of what is happening in mexico at this point as opposed to, you know, what was happening 50 or 100 years ago with the, you know, descendants of the family of these people who were murdered? >> absolutely, tammy. and this is such a horrific story. and it's just the next in line of why border control and immigration policy is so important to president trump and to the administration and the democrats by proposing all of these preposterous things that are basically open borders and are just political tunism. we have to understand the difference here from a 30,000-foot perspective of what the democrat are actually suggesting. because, see, they don't look at the united states

government as a intentionally well designed and functioning system. they just look at all of these political things as independent parts and so when they isolate each part and policy issue from the system then it ceases functionality and really that's their goal. they want to tear down the american system of government, take it out of its original purpose and design for political tunism. so rather than doing their job of congress. making sure to ensure domestic nawlgt and why jurisdiction bass given to make sure protect and preerch the rights as god gives us as president trump designed they can not take away. completely anesthetic call of our system. >> what we are seeing here is literally undeniable. they are denying it. if i in alternative universe

here. isn't this about bringing america town to the meg or to ignoring this. what's your take on this. >> if you want to know where all these democratic open border policies and sanctuary laws leads, come to california. just three days ago i ait'sed the funeral of el dorado county sheriff's deputy brian ishmael. the animals arrested for gunning him down in cold blood as he responded to a bogus burglary call are illegal aliens from mexico. working for the cartels. he is the fourth law enforcement official in my immediate region here to be murdered by illegal aliens over the past five years. that's where these policies are leading. the violence that we are seeing in mexico, we need to understand is already here in our country. in our communities, on our streets. hunting down our law enforcement officials because we let it in.

that's a question americans have got to confront very clearly in this upcoming election. that's what's at stake. >> tammy: we know that president trump was elected in large part because of this reality hitting home during the campaign with the murder of kate steinle. and americans realizing that donald trump was a man who was going to speak the truth and be honest and be transparent no matter what happened. we have got the families as an example, mourning the victims murdered women and children. like afghanistan 100 miles from the u.s. border to give you perspective. mexico had 24,000 murders. was this 2017 or 16; 23,000 murders in mexico, same year 16,000 in average. so if you were thinking about when we think of afghanistan and the danger that's there, consider those numbers as an example when it comes to what media ignores, what is just before that border. and not just danger for

americans, jenna. but for, yes. the migrants that we have talked about going through the caravan. my grants when we release people and they tonight take them. rapists, murderers, robbers. the criminal element charged with crimes are going right back into the immigrant community to victimize those people. how do you think democrat can defend that theantd of action? >> they can't. that's what is shocking about this. and why we have for example, a sample you have to divawf for and why we don't have loopholes. why immigration needs to be reformed. it's not because president trump is anti-immigration. it's because everyone in this country should be for legal immigration and to make sure that we are protecting the people in our

country. >> tammy: right. >> and we are protecting our border from all of the -- there is horrific sex trafficking going on. we have to make sure. >> tammy: it is indefensible people benefiting first from enforcement and removing criminal illegal aliens is the migrant community. those are the people being victimized by democratic policies. both of you, thank you so much for joining me tonight. i appreciate it. now, coming up next on this hannity special. trump vs. the left. rapper kanye west is asking black voters to ditch the democrats and you don't want to miss what president trump himself said about this issue earlier today. we will have larry elder and kayleigh mcenany

>> when i ran for office three years ago, i looked at the bleak dismal record of the democratic party and asked the african-american community what the hell do you have to lose? right? what do you have to lose? [cheers] >> and i came off stage that night and all these professionals handlers, right? i don't have too many handlers but they say sir, i don't think they are going to like that. i said no, look. because i read a list last in crime, last in this. last in home ownership. last in the economy, lowest wages. all of this stuff and i said

wait a minute, i'm just reading off a list. and i said wait a minute, and that's what i said. under this administration, all of that has changed and it's changing even faster now. we're undoing the damage inflicted by decades of corrupt democrat rule and creating an historic tide of new opportunity and prosperity. >> tammy: indeed for everybody. welcome back, everyone, to this special edition of hannity, trump vs. the left. that was, of course, president trump earlier today speaking at the black voices for trump event in atlanta. reaching out it black america and exposing the do-nothing democrats. now the president isn't the only one making the pitch as rapper kanye west is urging black voters to, quote, own your power saying voting for democrats as a default position is not the power. joining me now with reaction trump 2020 campaign national press secretary kayleigh mcenany and we are bringing back salem radio nationally syndicated radio host larry

elder because is he so fabulous. thank you, larry for come back and thank you, kayleigh for joining us. look, president trump was it very clear that we have a responsibility to reach out to every american. i felt that the republican abandonment of the inner cities, the abandonment of african-americans was shameful and awful. this idea that democrats were the only ones who would have ideas for them condemns people. when you don't give them other ideas, other options for moving forward. larry, do you think that this kind of outreach from the president makes a difference? >> absolutely. i was with the president in cleveland at a black church and among other things, he talked about choice in schools. the polls show that inner city parents, black and brown parents overwhelmingly want choice in school. they realize thought government school downtown block is not functioning very well. betsy devos, the secretary of education also is promoting choice in school. i can't think of anything better than getting a good

education to go from poverty to the middle class and trump made that case and it was very, very receptive. forever that reason alone it seems to me blacks ought to rethink their allegiance to the democratic party. for that reason alone. >> tammy: we this these thubs. when trump took office to where they are right now. the last month under obama and biden in january of 2017, unemployment amongst african-americans 7.7%. under president trump, it is now the lowest on record at 5.4%. we have also seen that wage gap contract as well when it comes to that issue. but, kayleigh, really, this is about reaching out to americans who happen to be black. well, all of us deserve to have a hand in this imagine imagnificent future that he is creating and americans create every day. kayleigh, do you think is he being heard and how do you see us moving forward next year when it comes to the african-american community? >> oh, there is no doubt he is being heard. look, democrats have

betrayed black americans for decades. economic betrayal, factories shutting down. inner cities worsening. president trump changed the trajectory. you point out those economic numbers. never before had black unemployment been below 7%. it was an average of 12.8% under obama. president trump brought it to 5.4% a record low. it took president trump, he said what do you have to lose? and then he proved himself right and backed his words up with action, with opportunity zones. the first step act, 90% of inmates release have had been black americans. this is a president who has defied history and done what democrats have talked about for decades. it took president trump, yes, he will win more of the black vote by a long shot in 2020. >> i will give you the last word on, this larry, important dynamic that everybody deserves opportunity and the president is making a specific effort here. >> absolutely: thomas sols

said years ago democrats want black people to feel angry, resentful, focus solely on racism. and if the republican party can get 20% of the black vote, the democratic party is literally finished. and that is why they are constantly telling black people you are a victim, you are a victim of racism. you are a victim of police brutality victim of this and that. as opposed to hard work, get a good education, don't make bad moral mistakes. get married before have you children. the same formula that worked for everybody else. >> tammy: we have a hard break. i appreciate both of you joining me tonight. president trump issued a challenge to his supporters today to sit in best rap videos. i wasn't one of them that did that featuring lyrics about the president. the president says the winners will be invited to the white house. we are not making this up. we will play some of the best submi
