complete lie. >> tucker: does the democratic party ever become the democratic party of 2012? 1998? or a party concerned with the economics and something other than identity politics? >> it doesn't look like it. there was an interesting article. you won't hear these words out of my mouth often. in the "new york times" this week by thomas edsall breaking down the polls on how the democratic party has changed. i just noticed looking at it, looking at nancy pelosi. white liberal women have gone off the charts on left wing craziness and nothing to do with the economics. the democratic party as some of us notice in the clinton era. that is when it began in the clinton era. abandon the working class. abandon the flyover people. it's pedal to the metal on the identity politics and the yuppie lifestyle. yuppie and welfare demographic. >> tucker: ann coulter. "resistance is futile." thank you. the wife of bruce ohr appeared on capitol hill. she testified about her work with fusion fusion gps. we have details from that after the break. ♪ d to. but then, we were like. what are we doing?

so this is clearly what we should expect from the democrats but in fact the base deserves better. women, regardless of their partyk that -- it's the #metoo movement and this is the man that they want to elevate in this process. they are desperate. there clearly is no talent (there clearly is maybe not even a party at this point in that exchange with you will go down in infamy as an example of what we would expect and would want from leaders in this country and the democratic party clearly has -- i don't know if it's rock-bottom yet. maybe the team of creepy porn lawyer and hillary. >> tucker: he could win. thank you for your smart analysis. the migrant caravan which we are not supposed to talk about because it's wrong, but we are going to anyway is still on its way north making its way here. if the president said he's going to meet with thousands of u.s. troops. is that a smart thing to do? will it affect the midterm election a week from today? that's next. ♪ as a pro athlete, the sleep number 360 smart bed is my competitive edge. it senses our movements and automatically adjusts to keep us both effortlessly comf

yeah i kind of echo yeah the democratic party is not a radical left party they're not even a left party in my opinion i would describe them as a center right party. and i think that's kind of the when i say we're in neutral you know that's kind of what i'm referring to you know going forward when we're looking towards the midterms. you know people are saying there's going to be some blue wave i do think that trump is going to be enough to pick up a little on the democratic side but as far as framing a message and framing policy positions and framing boyd is in actual opposition the democratic establishment has not done that they largely have not done that. so when you don't really have a real opposition in our politics which i would say at the establishment level we really don't have. you know you just kind of have. the nonstop echoes fear of the media that we have yeah well daniel is absolutely right and ron and cathy here i mean the democratic party isn't a radical party but it is embracing these radicals their tactics and their rhetoric ok because i think they're afraid of it as well

oh yeah i kind of echo yeah the democratic party is not a radical left party they're not even a left party in my opinion i would describe them as a center right party. and i think that's kind of the when i say we're in neutral you know the best kind of what i'm referring to you know going forward when we're looking towards the midterms. you know people are saying there's going to be some blue wave i do think that trump fatigue is going to be enough to pick up a little on the democratic side but as far as framing a man. in framing policy positions and framing voids in actual opposition the democratic establishment has not done that they largely have not done that. so this kind of reasonings would be much more i'll fold to make people understand of the dynamics there and why people locked on consequences of price is that of post nobody wants. the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. to the most. simple they want to. put as many of them look for refuge in the so called sentries sides of the draft used to share information about undocumented migrants

it is called the democrat party. i watch what they say -- the democratic party. in many cases, those are the people who want to make it look as good as possible. it is the democrat party which does not read well. the other reads better. we will call it the democrat party, and it is openly inviting millions of illegal aliens to break our laws, violate our borders, and overwhelm our nation. [booing] pres. trump: the democrats want caravans and like them. a lot of people say, "i wonder who started them?" mexico has been so incredible. the leaders of mexico, thank you. do you know why? mexico now respects the leadership of the united states. thank you, mexico, and we appreciate it. what they want -- and by the way, we started the wall and it is moving along. i want to build it rapidly. i can do it in a year. we did $1.6 billion. we have another 1.6 billion and it sounds like a lot, when you are going for a thousand miles. the wall is moving. i want to approve the wall.

it was deeply a branch of the democratic party taking on issues that has nothing much to do with the concerns of ordinary workers. >> host: william, your thought? >> guest: the republican party has changed a little bit. now it's here for billionaires and what gets me mad is cool was a dead industry going to solar and nuclear and electric and we are just wasting our time putting ourselves in a draconian era. trump is fiddling and the east of the mississippi is apocalyptic proportions. to me he is dick cheney on steroids. >> guest: you've identified a whole bunch of issues that i described van delete democratic party and what iat said was we e not going to put all of our money onth things like climate changein but on things like getting our jobs back. >> host: has he done that do you think? >> guest: the economy is roaring and jobs are coming back from all over including manufacturing >> caller: what about those that are saying you must work in order to get the benefits and if the jobs are so good, you shouldn't need the benefit. >> guest: the work requirements for welfare in general th

it's quickly becoming a party of hate fake outrage. what are those democratic values he's talking about? we have been told by trysail presidential candidate, hillary clinton that it is not civility. >> you cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. if we are fortunate enough to win back the house and or the senate, that is when civility can start again. >> a price for civility. the price tag is high. all hillary clinton wants his control of the government. her recommended lack of civility has been seen over the past two weeks. radical leftist client at the doors of the supreme court to try to assault justice brett kavanaugh and an elderly motorist verbally attacking a senior citizen in a wheelchair, disrupting traffic in portland and an angry mob violently shouting at ted cruz and his wife until they were forced to leave a restaurant in d.c. >> that is your new democratic party. it all started under president obama. some wonder how much of this he is orchestrating as he attempts to be a shadow leader of

you've been listening to a life best press conference coming to you from the social democratic party headquarters here in berlin we've been listening to the leader of the party and they're not as she's been reacting to statements made earlier by german chancellor angela merkel to find out more let me a draw in nina from up on him entry studious to a new no you've been listening to it on their knowledge had to say she spoke about a great respect for our lovemaking to begin with and said that she respected her as a leader as a woman politician and that the c.d.u. had to offer a great debt of gratitude for what she's achieved so far and then she reacted to the announcements made by angle of mecca what did you make of what she said. i thought it was interesting how she really did show her respect fungal america will not just as a female politician but also as a very strong party chair that's what under another said that on the america all took over the party when it was in deep crisis and very often during those eighteen years that america was the chair of the c.d.u. she wasn't taken seri

the fact is barack obama destroyed the democratic party. that's why he has these very strange individuals that he is supporting. it is still, though, all about him. he's desperate to not be seen as a failure and so is hilary clinton. lou: far too late. >> this is both of their problems. lou: yeah. >> they never viewed the country as a priority. lou: all we have to do is give up a country, constitutional republic and leave it in ashes so that we can pretend that we care about their legacies. my gosh. >> they never cared about us. they still don't think about the average american. lou: they care -- they have demonstrated again on the judiciary committee how much they care about women. i mean they sat on a woman's legitimate concerns and pain, they said for six weeks, they acknowledged they leaked to it the press, despite her request for confidentiality. and you can't even hear a whisper in the left wing media about holding them accountable. dianne feinstein, cory booker, the list goes on. >> her own lawyers who were referred to her by senator

there's no more moderates in the democratic party. a party now of smearing, slanders, lies, for searching besmirch meant, character assassination, carrot up down my character bludgeoning with the laughable sad double standard. don't forget about the deputy chair of this party, the dnc, keith ellison. he's facing abuse allegations leveled by his ex-girlfriend, karen monahan, who had supportively produced radical atomic medical records, therapist notes, text messages and apparently she has recordings as well, but the left doesn't believe her. they are not standing by her side. if neither to the lawyer who cleared ellison in the report to the state democratic party of minnesota, a law firm donated 500 grand to the democrats. now the police are looking into it tonight. senator cory booker, a.k.a. spartacus, 1992. look at what he wrote in his own high school groping escapades while the senate democrats demanded an fbi investigation into kavanaugh's high school years, what about his misconduct? now we have also tonight beto o'rourke, the li

what do the democrats stand for this has been the question the party has been unable to answer since the last twenty sixteen presidential elections and while the kavanaugh confirmation hearings may have activated the democratic voting base it also riled up republicans the only thing that is sure the democrats cannot simply be the party of not trump. it's one thing to take advantage of the mood in parts of the country but analysts say that approach needs to be paired with a solid party platform professor jason moloch od american university in washington d.c. says that if democrats merely engage with trump style of politics they were grab it they need to come up with a different strategy and i think if they end up losing and not gaining any seats or gaining one or two but the republicans still have power they're going to have to think of it a different strategy going into the presidential election. and trump feeling in the country didn't succeed in this case brett kavanaugh was confirmed it was a strong message the democratic party needs to give americans a reason to vote for it beyond

and that wasn't because he was some democratic party icon, he wasn't. he was a democrat, but he was a moderate, go along to get along. he very happily made friends across the aisle. he was friendly with president reagan, who of course is a republican. he was known to go golfing with dan quayle. meanwhile, his fellow democrats, they all loved him. they chose to elevate him into leadership by the end of just his second term in the senate, he was the number three democrat in the whole senate. everybody liked him, got along with everybody, al the pal. in 1991, when president george bush nominated clarence thomas to the supreme court, this democratic senator from illinois, alan dixon, he made a personal promise to president bush that he would vote yes. that he would vote for that supreme court nominee. it's interesting. senator dixon didn't make that promise public at the time. years later he would explain that when the nomination was initially made, he had made that promise to the president, but his constituents didn't know that at the time. and it probably

party. you obviously know a lot of democrats intercounty. at has your former coworker said to you since this happened? >> i haven't heard from any of them. i understand the party line is that it is a personal matter, and i can respect that. however, those that are elected officials or party members who are not tied with my direct sort of change of command, if you will, i have not heard from any of them. >> tucker: 's that's shocking. what does this say to you about how the party has changed? >> well, it makes me wonder if there is room for moderate democrats in the democratic party nowadays. there were some elected officials who said that they acknowledge that they've known me and i am not a racist. however, it was insensitive. and unfortunately, if my patriotism and standing up for family friends has become insensitive, then i think we as democrats need to stop and reevaluate exactly what we stand for. >> tucker: if standing up for the flag is considered racist, then what happens to the country do you think going forward? >> that's a good qu

[applause] when i say our system, i mean all the way. i mean front to back. >> tucker: racist, front to back. in other words, our laws and our pol

believe not republicans but african-americans, democrats thinking twice about staying in the democratic partyhey have seen the issues on the african-american community. a lack of real concern and more a thought you will vote democrat because you have no choice but which will be problematic. i talk about it on instagram this is what democrats do. it is unfortunate but it will continue. >> we had fun discussing kanye during the commercial. thank you very much. senator elizabeth warren under the box, we will explain in the midterm roundup. at truck brand e family of the most dependable, longest-lasting full-size pickups on the road? i think it's the chevy. ford. is it ford? nope, it's not ford. i think it's ram. is it ram? not ram. that's a chevy! it's chevy! that's right. from the family of the most dependable, longest-lasting full-size pickups on the road. gorgeous. chevy hit it out of the ballpark with these. okay, i never thought i'd say this, but i found bladder leak underwear that's actually pretty. surprised? it's called always discreet boutique. it looks and fits like my underwear. i kno

in 2010 come all the way up to 2016, the democrat party has lost 1200 seats.nal, state, local. you have to count all the way down to the dog catcher, they have lost. they have the least amount of electoral political power in washington since the '20s. where is this blue wave? where's the evidence that people can't wait to vote democrat? the evidence as they are are doing the exact opposite. trump is out there continuing to do the things he did that won him the election in 2016, all of these rallies. they have been unable to get rid of him. they have thrown everything at us before that usually gets rid of republican opponents, and nothing has worked. and they're just frustrated as they can be, and i think they are so overplaying this, and they are going way beyond the bounds of anywhere near propriety. what they think, most americans want to be encouraged to do mob-like behavior, getting people's faces. i don't think pete we have lost the country to that extent that that wins elections. >> sean: how big an impact -- ohr to me a tipping point. i think most peopl

under merkel is expected to announce that she will step down as the leader of the christian democratic party it's understood that she will continue on as chancellor but what type of chancellor that will be without the party leadership at the same position we're expecting to hear from her in an hour i'll be here with all the latest ones we do. i'm sure you'll be keeping on top of that story for us our europe correspondent peter olivet thank you. to discuss a story in more to tell us bring in peter short say an international relations professor let's go to an university good to have you on the program now if angela merkel does give up party leadership stays as chancellor what implications does that have for head level of control over the government. tressa for it is not quite sure yet not years ago and there's a way it is not has been as agreed or are are this draw from office ultra from responsibility so it may be are an attempt to calm down the protests and the negative voices within our own party for germany and would be a very very difficult situation because i mean basically armed she doe

. >> when you talk to folks as far as voting is concerned, will they vote mainly for the democratic party because of those things or do you have that kind of data? >> it is not for us to determine how they vote, but traditionally because there's been a party to better align policy agenda issues with the needs of interests of african-american communities, african-americans are going to vote their interests. we are saying to any political party, if you want our vote, talk about the issues that are important to us and what's important to us is ensure that our elderly are cared for if their senior years, that our children have opportunities and well prepared, and that the disadvantaged however we define that are protected, in ways in which they can fully participate. that's what's important to african-americans. political parties who care about those issues will get the vote of african-american community. >> when it comes down to the idea of respect or the respect that you say voters want, how do you think that gets resolved from a midterm election, though, specifically? >> well, the politica

people who are long-term democrats who didn't feel the democratic party represented them anymore. u said something i think democrats should learn. you have got to run on something. donald trump had a plan, he kept his promise, and he did it expeditiously. 8 years of obama we had 13 million more fellow americans on food stamps. 8 million more on poverty. first president never to hit 3% gdp in a year. he took on more debt than any other president combined. we had the lowest labor participation rate since the 70s. and the lowest homeownership rate in 51 years. we have 4 million new jobs, 8 million americans out of poverty and off food stamps. we have 4.2%. the atlanta fed was predicting 4.3% growth. so america has a choice here. either you are going to continue the progress we made in two years or you will go back to what has failed. i hope they make the right choice. i don't have a crystal ball. if they don't run on the good agenda, things are looking good for republicans. >> there is a lot at stake. sean: congratulations. i am going to lie, trish said she is going to be number one o

2016 between people like hillary clinton and bernie sanders, where there is this divide in the democratic partyestablish moderates" and the more energized and left wing the -- wing of the base of the party. the party is animated and energized, which makes it more difficult for people like andrew cuomo who are more moderate. and we see this split in new york, in front and center in this election, and i think again we see it around the country. i still think, as you look in the urban settings, you see the more progressives. we saw that in the victory over joe crowley in the primary. but as you move into more rural areas, you find more moderate center democrats, more representative through andrew cuomo. this is something we're going to see increasingly in the democratic party from 2018 into 2020 as the party tries -- raymond is in burlington flats, new york. go ahead. and rncwhat does dnc stand for? dnc could be democratic national committee are democratic national convention, and the same thing for republicans. rnc could be the republican national committee or the republican national convention,

people are looking going who will represent the democratic party.int, do you genuinely believe that you could go toe to toe with donald trump understanding that there is no skeleton in his closet. like he is the skeleton in the closeted-- schos et. you realize there is not much-- do you understand the gravity of the situation. you are up against somebody who, like he is talking point proof. is he the teflon don, nothing gets through him. what do you think would you do differently in going up against donald trump. >> well, i would say two things, first of all, if i decide to run, i don't think that you are going to beat donald trump by trying to be donald trump. (applause) i watch a lot of boxing. if you watch boxing or sports or other things, you see that oftentimes people that are considered invincible are not beaten by somebody that has exactly the same skill set. they are beaten by somebody that has a different style. but maybe more importantly, it is the folks who have been hopeful and optimistic and painted a strong vision for the future that e

democrat party.. usually, in many cases, those are people that want to make it look as good as possible but it is, it's the democrat party, which doesn't read well. the other reads better. but we're going to call it the democrat party and it's openly inviting millions of illegal aliens to break our laws, violate our borders. >> not even sure really where to start with that. president trump says of course, that he shouldn't shoulder the blame if republicans lose control of the house. and an interesting poll to show you chuck todd flagged of people that don't like either political party. 59% say they will vote for democrats compared to 17% for republicans up 16 points since last month. so i'm going to get joe and phil in on this conversation, too. congressman, i want to allow you to respond to the president and what he said about the democratic party of which you are a member. >> it's the democratic party and newt gingrich started rebranding us as the democrat party. anyway, just a quick note. >> quick

let my wife through. >> lou: that is your democratic party. and it all started under president obama. and some wonder how much of this he is orchestrating as he attempts to be a shadow leader of his party. remember this quote from 2008. "if they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun." does that sound familiar? does that sound like the beginning of this vast fundamental transformation he sought for the country but certainly has carried out for the democratic party? it's all scom far that the dimms will do anything they can apparently to stop republicans. with president trump in power, they've gone blind with rage. nancy pelosi telling the "san francisco chronicle" editorial board that the dimms would make exposing president trump's tax returns, that would be their top priority if they were to win the majority in the house. somehow that from deep thinking visionary talk from majority leader of the house? dimms are so far beyond integrity they will do anything they can for power and viciously go after republicans instead of working on issues

ist: as far as voting concerned, will they vote mainly for the democratic party because of these things? guest: it is not for us to determine how they vote. traditionally, because the party has better aligned with the interests of african-american vote their, they interests. we are saying to any political party, if we -- if you want our vote, talk about issues that are important to us. make sure our children have opportunities and are well and are protected in ways in which they can fully participate. political parties who care about those issues will get the vote of the african-american community. host: when it comes to the respect you say voters want, how do you find that gets resolved in a midterm election specifically? guest: the political landscape as we currently see it is one in which the policy concerns that african-americans care most about are not addressed. that is how you address respect. you talk about a young person's opportunity in the future. that is a good quality public school. you can have the opportunity to thrive and learn. making sure that those who have freedom of

[laughter] [applause] >> that's what this new democratic party is about. ebate former chair of the missouri republican party ed martin and democratic political strategists, we are having microphone issues i believe here so just hang on for a second, guys, let me get a new microphone. this is live tv. welcome. okay, so jason let's start with you. what do you make of it, is this the new party? >> no, i mean, i think that some of these comments that you showed were a little bit taken out of context, i think when hillary clinton was talking about, you know, civility, i think she was saying what their party needs is strength and there are times when you go and you look for compromise and there are times when you actually have to approach this from a position of strength and i think that's what she was trying to get across. i think that eric holder's comments were taken out of context, you know, i don't think that, you know, there's a change in the party at all. jillian: ed, what do you have to say about that, eric hoeder say when they go low, you kick them, that

the democrats' policies -- you notice i never say the democratic party. the word is democrat. but when you say democratic it's nicer sounding, right? they should change their name. i don't want to tell them that. but they say the democratic party. it's called the democrat party. it doesn't sound good, right? i hate it. i hate to say it. you know, you're making a speech and you say the democrat party. a lot of people say -- because it sounds so much better. they should actually change their name. i'm giving them free advice. we'll still beat them, their policies are no good so it doesn't matter, right? but democrat policies have led to unsafe communities, failing schools, overincarceration, which is a big thing that jared kushner is working on. look at jared [ applause ] he talked about that, the prisoners, they get out and they couldn't get jobs. it wasn't a stat i was going to mention today. maybe he feels more strongly than this than anything other thing he's working on. he's working on some very important things. prisoners, because the economy is so strong, for the first ti

he tells them the democratic party. and then they arrested him. ng the party affiliation of the candidate who he worked for. now the students that letter was about, the students were again from prairie view a&m. prairie view a&m the student body is about 82% black. waller county, texas, where that school is about 70% white. the college and the county have clashed repeatedly for decades over whether or not the largely black student population of that college should be allowed to vote. this is a battle that at one point went all the way to the supreme court, where i should mention the supreme court sided with the students and said yes, they can. well, now a new chapter in that standoff involves the county instructing students to use the specific school addresses on their voter registration forms for this year's election, and then the county changing its mind and saying oh, no actually, if those are the addresses you used, your registration is screwed up. that's the thing that led to this bizarre arrest this week at the county courthouse, and now we'v

controlled house of judge kavanaugh is not implausible, but if i can -- i can't speak for the democratic party, but it appears there's an interest on the part of some democrats to at least investigate some of the things that judge kavanaugh said further. and it is not actually limited to the things he said about dr. ford's allegations. that includes things he said about things he did while in the bush white house, things that he said that may or may not be confirmed or refuted by documents that have yet to be released by the national archives but will be released by the national archives, and there are a lot of people certainly senate democrats, even before these allegations that felt brett kavanaugh was not being candid. >> you can watch -- we will take you now to the east room to the white house where president trump will hold the ceremonial swearing in for supreme court associate justice brett kavanaugh. and that will get underway shortly. he was sworn in by the chief justice at the court over the weekend. senators are arriving, including the majority leader, mitch mcconnell.
