progressives are abnormal, gosh, that is not breaking news if you are talking to ari fleischer, what ri: yeah, when you have to call yourself normal, we are in abnormal times aren't we? this demonstrates the fissure, the split is between old classic liberals and your progressive movement and the progressive move cemetery ruining the democratic party. it is intolerant, it is anti-free speech, it is author tearian and whacky. add it up, that is what moderates like to say they are normal, they represent what a democratic party, blue collar party used to be, democrats are no longer blue collar party, they are phds, rich and columning graduates issue the woke. >> harris: interesting, i took it in a different way, i thought they meant by normal, they were used to winning in places it was pretty blue. that has to be an out of body experience to lose what they just did in virginia and i don't know if you caught it moments ago, the brand-new lieutenant governor elect sears on with me and her perspective as a former marine, although always a marine. what we saw was abnormal for that party to be

we welcome to the program again ari fleischer and lara trump.and you lived through 5 years of a never ending one voice media mob lie about your father in law? >> you are right. people ask are the mainstream media really lying to us to further a political narrative. you named a dozen plus champs. -- examples. the answer is yes. they had kyle rittenhouse convicted as a murderer from day one and a white supremacist. they have been somewhat successful. you go out to the street and talk to anybody. a lot of people will tell you this trial is about a white guy shooting two black people. that's so far from the truth. it's all white people involved in this case. we want due process to play out and want the jury to come to their own decisions, but the media made it about race like they do about everything. you have to realize that is in the interest of the democratic party. that's what they want. they want to make everything about race. if we don't see each other as americans and see each other as different colors they can divide all of us. when you are

ari fleischer former white house press secretary for bush 43. know why the biden white house thought they had any kind of mandate anyway. those majorities were so razor thin. what happens next? >> actually harris. the biggest untold story of the 2020 election was what happened in the house. all the attention of course is on president trump and the presidential level. but the real underlying big news was that republicans gained 12 seats in the house of representatives in an election cycle that democrats predicted they would gain more seats to give nancy pelosi an even bigger majority. the american people said no. that started something and the grassroots level despite a presidential loss. and what is happening now in 2021 reflects a very powerful trend of precedent and a trend that should scare the democrats. by that what i'm referring to is the last time you had elections like this was in 2017 when there was a suburban uprising against donald trump and republicans got their clock cleaned everywhere in 2017 and 18 and that prior to that 2009-10 c

first, we have ari fleischer. sarah sanders, gubernatorial candidate. ari, looks good for youngkin.ht is not over but he seems to be outperforming past republicans in the counties that he needs to outperform. he's exceeding expectations in the ones that we would expect him to. >> he is, sean. i have to say, why fox has not yet called this race, david wattsman, one of the most respectful nonpartisan an has called it and he called it for youngkin. he said republicans will within the attorney general race and the lieutenant governor. three statewide pickups. if he's right and it's still an if, here's why it's so significant. two overlying trends started in the trump years. one of is that republicans became the dominant force among blue collar lower income rural voters. we see that accelerating even more tonight under glenn youngkin. the second was a bad news story for republicans. they started to lose the suburbs in big numbers especially college educated voters. that seems to be reversing tonight. republicans are competitive in the suburbs. they're not getting their clock cleaned. the

here with reaction, fox news contributors ari fleischer, joe concha. let's look at it from a media standpoint, ari. they are so reckless and irresponsible and so wrong so often. i actually have to tip my hat to "the washington post" for at least admitting, yeah, our reporting on the steele dossier was wrong. when his ratio conspiracy theorist maddow going to make her apology and admission on msdnc? >> never because her viewers don't want her to and neither does her management vehicle it is okay to be wrong if you are wrong for the right because, i should say, the left because. sean, what is happening now in kenosha, if there was ever a time for the media of every stripe to tone things down instead of stir things up, it is on the eve of a major verdict like this, and for msnbc to follow that jury boss, any suggestion, trying to figure out who the jurors are for the purpose of public publicizing who those jurors jurors are, exy what contributes to people going after jurors. violence in the streets, insurrection in the court, that we need to prevent commen

we will show you the tip, lara trump and ari fleischer, they way and next as we continue.ase stay with us. m or make me feel like i'm not really "there." talk to your doctor, and call 844-234-2424. do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need? now you can sell your policy - even a term policy - for an immediate cash payment. call coventry direct to learn more. we thought we had planned carefully for our retirement. but we quickly realized we needed a way to supplement our income. our friend sold their policy to help pay their medical bills, and that got me thinking. maybe selling our policy could help with our retirement. i'm skeptical, so i did some research and called coventry direct. they explained life insurance is a valuable asset that can be sold. we learned we could sell all of our policy, or keep part of it with no future payments. who knew? we sold our policy. now we can relax and enjoy our retirement as we had planned. if you have $100,000 or more of life insurance, you may qualify to sell your policy. don't cancel or let your policy lapse without findi

as so when ari fleischer said that, well, bomb is 2nd term is really george bush's 4th term. he was on to something there. and in many ways, biden is doubling down on trump's foreign policy, especially visa v china, but also visit the russia and, and iran as well. so what we've gotten out with we saw with the bush administration and they brought in all the people from the project for a new american century. and how they were the neocons and they were the hawks. and they brought us afghanistan that brought us iraq and, and libya and then our, when we give biden's obama some credit for olivia to answer and syria. now what you see with the biden administration is they brought in 16 top people from the center for new american security. and these are the hawks who are doubling down on so many of trump's policies at this point. and so instead of peeling back what you know, there was the june summit in geneva between potent and biden. and then there was some easing of tensions after that. the problem in the united states is that you've got a bipartisan right wing pressure on biden,

ari fleischer. the white house wants to blame kamala harris more than joe. they are both awful.policies i don't see them fixing any of the problems they are causeing. >> no, they are not going to change. they are dead set on running down an aggressive agenda. in biden governed as a moderate joe biden would be a lot more popular with manchin on one side and republicans on the other side it would be a different america. he sold out and thrown himself into bed with the progressives. it won't end well for him or the country. >> sean: let's see what joe manchin does. every republican said theyed not help on the debt ceiling and they caved. -- will republicans, they have not been inviteed into this process at all. why lift a finger to help in any way. >> they should not lift a finger to help. they just need to stand back. i am sure the announcement that joe biden is planning on running for reelection in 2024, don't you know that reved up the democrats. the turkey is having a better week than joe biden is. the turkey is going to have a really bad thursday. >> sean: [laughing]. especial

ari fleischer. 36%, 28% and it looks like the white house wants to blame kamala harris more than joe. they are both awful. okay, their policies are awful. unless they change and adopt trump's policies i don't see them fixing any of the problems they are causing. >> no, they are not going to change. theyng are dead set on running down a progressive agenda. in biden governed as a moderate joe biden would be a lot more popular with manchin on one side and republicans on the other side it would be a different america. he sold out and thrown himself into bed with the progressives. it won't end well for him or the country. >> sean: let's see what joe manchin does. governor huckabee. but i will tell you, mitch mcconnell said for two months, every republican said they would not help on the debt ceiling and they caved.. will republicans, they have not been invited into this process at all. why should they lift a finger to help in any way? >> they should not lift a finger to help. they don't have to do anythi

jason riley manhattan institute and former white house press secretary ari fleischer. l, let me just say right off the bat, i would have rather spent my time in nantucket than crawford. it's a little bit of a difference. but, look, i am not going to criticize any president of the united states for where they go on vacation. presidents earn their vacations and if they want to spend it at billionaire's place that's their right and i don't think it should be subject to political criticism. the job is hard enough. the problem joe biden has so much deeper than spending vacation, of the malaise, difficulties, the feelings in america that things just aren't working under his watch. so his problems are so much more fundamental than his vacation choice, i hope he gets rest and what he needs on vacation. we got a lot of problems that he is just not solving. >> as someone who spent a lot of time in crawford, texas, let the record reflect i enjoyed it very much. harold, your thoughts on inflation, thanksgiving and the president's travels? >> first, thanks for having me, happy thank

. >> bill: aishah hosni from washington >> dana: let's bring in ari fleischer fox news contributor.d the democrats want all the members of congress in the senate to go back to their districts this week and sell everybody on the infrastructure bill. looming next week is the $4 trillion bill they want to spend. not about infrastructure. i don't know how they thread that needle. maybe you can tell us how they will do. >> you can't thread that needle. if you go back and talk about infrastructure you are making promises about the future that nobody can see or feel and people take it for granted. the big myth people think infrastructure is a win for politicians. it is not. the basic blocking and tackling that legislature are supposed to get done no matter what. there is not a big political upside. it is way overdramatized. the hard part now is the philosophical piece. should the government hook people an dependency? that's the next spending blow-out the democrats want to pass. that's the bigger problem out of sync where the country is. >> bill: 1 in 4 even know much about what's in it. la

let's bring in ari fleischer. and analyst, juan williams. one, let's start off with your bird was this a referendum on terry mcauliffe, joe biden, or both. what does it portend for the midterms? >> obviously, the overall message is it's a chilly awful night. i said earlier i think it's lik a late halloween, a real trash dump fire if you will for democrats and it's resounding throughout washington today wit people having to sort of reconsider, not only their politics going forward as you know in terms of the senate and house in 2022 for the midterms, but even right now in terms of actions on capitol hill and urgency now about getting something done with regard to these social spending bill as well as the infrastructure bill to show that democrats are taking action, that they can deliver, and it's not all about inviting among the democrats. if you ask about a referendum, john, i don't think there's any question that people want to se results insofar democrats have not delivered. >> 's so let me get you to comment on what juan just said, is the

longtime republican ari fleischer, a former white house press secretary, said any questions about trump would be answered after the midterm elections. >> this suburban reversal is significant. with or without donald trump on the ballot. the trick for republicans going forward in my opinion is to keep revving up the rural areas and the lower income, noncollege educated areas and just be reasonable in the suburbs. don't scare people and the suburbs will come home. >> reporter: now it is a critical midpoint. a year ago yesterday, joe biden declared victory over donald trump. and a year from tonight, the votes in those midterm races will be counted to determine who controls the house and the senate. now the party out of power always holds historic advantages in midterm races but history offers few answers for how to navigate the former president who remains at the center of it all. energizing some voters and alienate others. he did tell fox news earlier today he plans to make a decision about 2024 probably after the midterm elections. >> a lot of his top aides says he's definitely going to

and fox news contributor ari fleischer tweeted hard to blame him.gseth who is always ready to go. co-host of "fox & friends" weekends is ready to go. we're bright and bushy tailed. >> i will say this. as a former infantry man in the army i appreciate anyone who can find the right to get a nap in. you have to get a nap in when you have a chance. if i'm listening to international bureaucrats drone on about fighting the weather i probably would fall asleep. it is indicative of a president asleep at the wheel for the big issues. i'm in minneapolis right now to vote today whether to defund the police. you go down to the southern border and we have an invasion. loudon county dealing with critical race theory which other people want to deny exists. all the cities dealing with crime. supply chain crisis and christmas presents aren't arriving on time. inflation and gas, prices. all of these very real things hitting people. where is joe biden right now? where is their focus? not only is he at an international climate change conference, but he is falling aslee

let's ask florida congressman michael waltz and former white house press secretary ari fleischer. you, congressman, what are the national security implications of an open border and these kinds of numbers that people coming across our border for which government is admitting they have not even given them any paperwork and have no idea who they are? >> no. you are absolutely right, rachel. and, look, a smuggling pipeline or pathway that can move people can move weapons, can move weapons of mass destruction and can certainly move terrorists and as we have talked about, remember, we just had 5,000 of the most hardened al-qaeda taliban isis terrorists. we have no idea where they are now. that were released from bagram. we know where one of them is. one of them was a suicide bomber that killed our 13 marines soldiers and sailors outside of kabul international airport. but the rest of them we have no idea. so now we have 200,000 a month, 2 million a year. if biden keeps this up, 4 million over the course of his term pouring across our borders from over 170 countries. and meanwhile, we h

longtime republican ari fleischer, a former-white house press secretary, said any questions about trumpfter the midterm elections. >> this suburban reversal is significant. with or without donald trump on the ballot. the trick for republicans going forward, in my opinion, is to keep revving up the rural areas and the lower edu -- lower-income, non-college educated areas, and just be reasonable in the suburbs. don't scare people and the suburbs will come home. >> reporter: now, even as christie and other republicans urge the party to look forward, not backward, erin, that debate is not happening in all corners of the party. tonight right now, the former president is headlining a house-republican fundraising dinner. kevin mccarthy, of course, has chosen to embrace the former president. one year from tonight, the votes are counted in those midterm election races. >> one year from tonight and how fast it will go. jeff, thank you. >>> so i want to go now to republican congressman tom reid of new york because he is a member of the bipartisan problem solvers caucus. so, congressman reid, you k
