prison reform, a strong economy are a few big achievements he has been touting but some poll numbers suggest the president still has a lot of work to do. bring in james gold man. senior producer for rush limbaugh's daily talk show. also richard fowler, democratic strategist and fox news contributor. good to see you both. >> good to see you, ed. >> nice to see you, richard. ed: you started a new pack for black supporters for the president on the right. i heard others talk about black awakening increasing support for president in 2020. where do you feel his support is? how do you back up the idea that his support is increasing? >> well if you look at recent poll numbers, there have been three separate polls show the president has about 30% or higher approval rate among black voters. now how well that will translate on election day we don't know yet. that is why we're out working to make sure that the president's track record gets the attention

that it deserves. i mean, ed, during the first 18 months of this president's term we had 400% increase in number ofneurs. we have historic unemployment among, blacks hispanics among all americans. we have more americans working than ever before in our history. those are two areas the president actually delivered for the black community. ed: okay. give richard a fair shot at it. if the economy is particularly good for african-americans, will they naturally come over to start supporting the president. >> i'm not sure if that is necessarily true. i'm not sure what polls james are talking about. recent "qunnipiac poll" 82% of african-americans strongly disapprove of this president. but beyond that i think economy, he is doing very well on the economy. i won't knock the president for that. but if we look at other numbers, indicators, life in the black community isn't as good as it should be. infant mortality is on the rise. more black women die during childbirth.

issues really big in the black community have not been addressed by this white house or this president. ed: richard, those statistics have been getting bad for many years. this president had a crack at it three years? you had the nation's first black president for eight years who you supported very closely. how is that donald trump's fault? >> i'm not saying it is donald trump's fault. if he is trying to woo black voters away from the democratic party or woo black voters towards him he might want to talk to them about issues concerning them in their community instead of attacking four members, four african-american members of congress or instead of telling people to go back to their country, instead of insulting former congressman deceased elijah cummings district which is what we've seen the president do over the past year. ed: james a chance to respond to that. >> funny thing attacks on elijah cummings district, that district again registered one of the highest numbers of homicide in the country. you talked about the problems in the black community, richard.

who runs those communities? who has been running those communities for past 50 years? republicans are nowhere in sight. eight years of president up obama. we had eight years of so-called first black president, bill clinton. what you have black elected officials complaining about the things they complained about for last 50 years. they were the ones actually running these cities in america. so what president trump has done is actually bring action. under president obama we heard that these jobs were never going to come back. he mocked president trump, what are you going to do wave a wand, bring jobs back. clearly he did not economic policy enough. we now have proof -- >> i think we all know you can't look at economy in vacuum. donald trump is building on eight years of president obama's economy. i never knocked him on that. to sit her insult the people of elijah cummings district, mind you, his district was has the best medical hospital in the

country, on top of one of states and cities in the country is outrageous. once again if you want to reach out to black voters, convince african-americans voters is the best candidate, donald trump should do outreach to black voters. he has never been to chicago he never talks about it. he has never been to baltimore but never talks about it. ed: what about what james said, democrats have been running cities like baltimore for 50 years. i didn't hear you answer that. >> we could talk about. baltimore is not only city. detroit, also had a republican governor who under emergency manager destroyed the city. you also had people like betsy devos pumping money to destroy the public education system. we could go on and on. remember also you can't talk about say, democrats run the city, not talk about impact of red lining in '50s, '60s, '70s. why there is no property taxes. far beyond a democrat or republican problem. what is happening in the black communities i systemic and goes

far beyond party. ed: last point from james. >> what we heard was apologist for status quo. you explain to black voters, tells democrat parents they don't have the right to sell schools to schools of their choice. candidates send their kids to private schools. you explain the conditions -- i'm speaking now. >> i'm actually glad that you brought that up. you explain to me that in the city, district of columbia, a city that is made up of african-americans, public schools work and white part of the city but does not work in the african-american part of the city, same school district. same in chicago. schools work on south side and -- >> democrat friends run those cities, richard. >> this is systemic policies -- debate party we can. once again, like i said earlier systemic. >> because your party failed. that is why you can't debate it. >> institutional race i am problem we have in this country

dealing with. ed: richard gave you three cracks at it, last one, james. >> richard your party failed black americans in so many instances. why you want to say it has nothing to do with party. >> you're party has -- ed: see what happens in 2020. appreciate the spirited debate. ed: last night's stabbing at home of a rabbi, latest of a string of attacks targeting jewish new yorkers. this is problem around the country. new york city mayor bill de blasio reacts live on fox next.

jewish community since september 10th. joining me new york city mayor bill de blasio. >> thank you. ed: the governor calls it domestic terror. >> yeah. ed: what specific action are you going to take to protect jewish people in your city? >> first thing to recognize, we're in a crisis right now. there is crisis of anti-semitism not only in region but whole country. we've seen violent attacks some of the worst, the pittsburgh synagogue, california, the jewish center there, what we're seeing is a growth of anti-semitism in this country profoundly dangerous. it is happening in europe as well. ed: yes. >> we have to go at the root of it. what is new york city doing? first and foremost public safety is part of the answer here. visible, strong, police presence around the jewish community on on going basis. ed: on that point, guardian angels are out patrolling jewish neighborhoods. it is given perception outside folks are having to come in because you're not sending in enough. >> we have a huge nypd presence. we announced on friday an

additional nypd presence. anytime attack on the jewish community anywhere in the world we reinforce jewish community locations with finest police force in the world. with all due respect to any outside force, professionals, nypd have done an outstanding job. what we have to do is get a at the root cause. we established a unit to concentrate on racial, ethnically motivated extremists. stop them before they can act this is part of the getting at the violence. we have to get at heart and minds particularly of the young people. a lot more will be done at community level, to educate young people this hate is dangerous. ed: talk about the hate. dov hikind founded americans against anti-semetism. he challenged you. >> leadership, mayor of city of new york what is his plan? that's all i want to know what his plan is. for him to tell me every time there is anti-semitic incident

he condemns it, feels the pain. goes home waits for the next incident and does the same thing, what is going to be done by the mayor, the governor? they are literally taking advantage of us. ed: he went on to say that he is seeing more anti, sort of allowing of anti-semitism not calling out on left. he is democrat, no the republican. would you condemn rhetoric of ilhan omar and rashida tlaib. >> i have. when i think something is anti-semitic i say it. i said it about fellow democrats i want us to be clear what is happening here. atmosphere of hate has been developing in this country over the last few years. a lot of it eminating from washington having effect. ed: you're blaming the president from washington. >> not just the president, we have to be clear. we need a different tone, starting in washington which we had by the way with democrats and republicans both in the white house. that encouraged this country to actually find some unity and some common ground. we haven't had that last few

years. ed: talk about your record. there is something specific going on here with the eight attacks i mentioned new york city. several of the suspects arrested in these anti-semitic attacks have all been released on bail because of something that is called bail reform but your administration already implementing it even though it is not really starting until january. if the victim in this case, jewish, could be anybody in the city is not quote uninjured they can be released out in the neighborhood and one of those folks, tiffany harris, 21 charges of menacing, harrassment, attempted assault charges, she punched and cursed s you know. she allegedly shouted, f-u jews she was released court date is not until january 10th. how do you defend that. >> this is exactly same system existed for years and years. there is whole attempt, not directed at you, but in the -- ed: facts of that are true. >> i'm going to steak you to that. i don't know every single fact about this case. let's be clear about this, traditionally people go before a judge and judge gives them a

bail figure and they make bail out on the street. that is huge percentage of people historically. let's not kid ourselves here. the folks who end up on that kind of offense couldn't make bail didn't have money to do it. ones who had money got back on the street. that is part of the american civil. this is not my administration, state of new york. ed: i'm told your administration is implementing. "new york post" with a full story. >> this is already happening because starting on january 1st. ed: why is she on the streets. >> what i'm trying to get across to you here, someone like that would would likely been on the streets because they would have posted bail. only reason someone held in, the judge does not believe they present immediate threat. the only reason they are held in they don't have enough money to make bail. that is not helping anyone. putting more people in the jail system. that is not good for ending mass incarceration. that is not good for the taxpayer. get clear what is going on here. we have a problem. we're not going to jail our way out of the problem. we need tough consequences.

more than i should. above cuomo lost his control and lost his mind. very bad for homeless and all. putting this crisis in the governor's lap and your lap. >> i want to announce the humanity of homeless people. all faith recognize for grace of god go we. homeless something went wrong, end up in the treat. most we give shelter. some end up on the street, choose to stay there. journey home, get homeless folks out there, one year, two years, five years more on the streets get them intensive intervention, really connecting with them. what will bring them home, reconnect with family, give them mental health services substance abuse services. we believe, based on real facts that we've been able to get, well over 2,000 people off the streets permanently and keep them in and get them to affordable housing. ed: despite that --

>> we'll be able to end long-term homelessness next five years. ed: according to coalition of homeless, new york homeless levels are highest since the great depression. you may reduce a little. research overnight, through the pages of "the new york times," 2014, "new york times" says homelessness rose in new york. they noted that the survey was conducted before you took office. that you inherited this problem and that as city councilmember you had vacant public housing for homeless plan but did not include many details. may 2015, "the times" says it ballooned under bloomberg. it was a disaster then, it is disaster now. may of 2015, your budget had $100 million to tackle it. august 2015, de blasio has a 22 million-dollar plan on mental health. but you said the homeless numbers have not appreciably increased. later in august of 2015, "the times" said mayor mayor de blasio aide resigning

amidst a crisis. finally the mayor stirred himself to greater action on homelessness. this is morning times. all those i'm reading, be fair and say in 2016 they said you had a plan and you were offering hope for the homeless. they gave you credit. i want to be fair. all the other ones i read, 2014, 2015, donald trump wasn't in office. this is five years ago. >> i haven't said the word donald trump. ed: i'm saying it. >> talking about us first. i will talk about the president. ed: you've been in office five or six years. >> we're finally turn the tide. we have a plan called turning the tide get folks into permanent, affordable housing. 120,000 people, check that number, 120,000 people in six years over in shelter we gotten to affordable housing. number of people on streets you said, quote earlier about number on the street, that number is finally starting to go down. ed: okay. >> this new plan the journey home we believe will end long term homelessness in the city once and for all.

we see other cities tragically in the country the situation is out of control on the streets. we believe we have a plan that could work here, hopefully work everywhere to end long-term homelessness. here is the problem with washington. this is not just donald trump. it is every administration over years and years but the problem ultimately is donald trump has not shown any willingness to give us tools we need, most especially section 8 vouchers which allow people to live in rental housing that is the single strongest piece we need from washington we're not getting right now. ed: play a clip, ben carson, president housing man, fair to all sides, he said in september, to fox, weeks, not months they would take action in homelessness. i pressed him a couple days ago. watch. more than three months ago you said we're talking about weeks not months. what happened? >> we have, we have been out there. i have not found the same urgency in the leadership in the state that i had hoped to find.

let's put it that way. ed: in california, the governor hasn't done enough. he went on to quote from the bible as you suggested moment ago, it is christmas season. ben carson said i want to find a way to come together with gavin newsom in california. can you now, as we head into 2020, is there a way to put aside some of these difference. >> sure. ed: with president trump? give me one or two things that you want to work on in 2020 you think is reasonable to actually fix this. >> yeah. first i want to say i've been working with secretary carson on public housing we worked very productively together. we spoke a few weeks ago. it has been a good news story, real progress is being made to improve public housing here in new york city with federal government. take the same approach to address homelessness. federal government needs to help with us section 8 vouchers for decades. this is bipartisan consensus. to people get apartments in private housing. something democrats and republican cost agree on. numbers of section 8 vouchers

decreased, decreased. trump administration, hud budget is zeroed out. ed: you would invite ben carson back to answer that. is there another thing you can work on with them? >> absolutely f we think about what is really happening with homelessness in this country, it is about creating affordable housing on a big scale all over america. there is a crisis, new york city, has a particular affordability crisis, but in cities, even suburbs -- ed: what about mental health as well? >> staying here for a second, federal government would have affordable housing policy again which it had for decades, helping people afford homes, section 8 vouchers, building and supporting public housing. get back to the model. cities and states can't do it alone of the there is no federal affordability housing plan, this affordability crisis will only grow. ed: we hope you come together on that. last thing, can you agree garrett coal coming to yankees,
