host: are democrats no longer the establishment party right now? guest: well i think when you are -- when you're president is a democrat you're kind of do factor responsible for the context and the outcomes that's the thing about running as an incumbent donald trump is about to become the incumbent and he is going to switch from a challenger candidate may change candidate to a guy who's responsible for everything that his administration is doing in his administration will be stocked with radicals doing extreme and harmful and dangerous things that are directly impacting regular people's lives, security and well-being. what i would say here is a coalition built on frustration of the status quo is not a stable coalition. that is an opportunity for us to demonstrate we are on people sides to fight for their well-being, fight for their safety and reach out and feel some of those votes off the coalition and reenergizing our own base because that's the other thing in this equation is who was not sufficiently motivated and excited, ready to show up in nove

i mean, union guys and gals have left the democratic party.c party has seen not as rich people, but as college professors and woke scolds. he said what he was going to do and that's what he's doing. people are saying oh, i don't like this appointment or this policy he's talking about but those are the things he said he was going to do. liz: welcome back. that was outgoing senator mitt romney. he's not a fan of trump. he says trump won overworking class and middle class voters. why? because democrats socialists and the democrat party has become too extreme, too radical, too out of touch. joining us now, town hall.com political editor guy benson. guy? it's great to see you again. what do you make of this? he called them woke scolds. >> he's so right. i mean what a perfect way to describe the elite of the democratic party and their media establishment that backs them. they are woke. they might try to runaway from that soon, but they've been woke for a number of years and more than anything, they scold about how everyone else is terrible and romne

the democratic party. and here i mean, this is kind of weird because as ex-presidents, when they lose, when whatever term limited always have kind of an odd relationship with their sometimes they are kind of elder states persons of their parties. but also it's, you know, their time done. and sometimes it's time to let other other people lead. but carter influenced trajectory of the democratic party in addition to still being somewhat of a figure within the party. one of the things i really want to draw your attention to is that the thing that was probably the presented the most challenges for carter was the most responsible for the problems that he had. is the legacy that really stuck is the legacy that did become kind of positive road map for later presidential candidates. and that's outside our idea that this idea that parties nominate people who are a bit fresh from the mess in washington, this is where you start to see a lot of governors being nominated and elected to president that that change kind of

and the democratic party has really shied away from in the last couple of cycles. i think the other thing here to to keep in mind is that as you hear somebody like marianne williamson, who kind of emerges every four years to say these things, we have to remember that marianne williamson, his biggest endorsers, have been billionaires. and that's not actually very much in touch with where the democratic base wants to be right now, as they said resoundingly, in this last election cycle, the person, the people actually, that they should be listening to bernie sanders and stacey abrams, those are the two people who have been very consistent and very in touch with the american public that have been related to the democratic party. those are the people that are going to help pick the leadership of the democratic party, or at the very least, should be helping to pick the leadership of the democratic party as we move forward into this next election cycle. >> all right. thank you all for the smart conversation on this topic. stephen, i'm coming to you first in the next one.

w we are not seeing a ton of leadership across the democratic party. we are seeing some people put forward ideas and start organize but we are seeing a lot of people kind of go into democrats in disarray mode where we'll start questioning everything about ourselves because we have had in election loss. and that is not a helpful place to be. should always be thinking critically, thinking about what is our message and brand, what do democrats stand for, what kind of policies make people's lives better in ways people can feel and see and trust upon. what we are seeing right now is a lot of democrats who are kind of inching over to collaborating and supporting some stuff that is not helpful around donald trump's initiative and what we need to do is present a strong and coherent opposition party ready to fight back and articulate to the american people why donald trump's agenda will make their lives worse. host: what are some agenda items people are starting to enjoy over. guest: what we've seen with certain democrats flirting with the congressional -- with

griff: listen, joe manchin is doing the democratic party a favor right now by saying the quiet part out and if you really go back, when i first got to washington in the '90s, carley, pete, blue dog democrats had real power, particularly southern democrats. they were very conservative. they were advocates for gun rights and things that are only identified with conservative republicans now but yet the blue dog democrat is a fixture in the smithsonian museum now. it doesn't exist. you look back over the past four years, not only have we seen across the nation the progressive movement rise, you've seen in congress from ao c and others really begin to have an impact on the democrat leadership. how so? president biden being shifted on the war in israel and the protests we saw rise from that so i think really the democrat party may want to listen to what joe manchin has to say and take the tough medicine. peter: and people will have different opinions about whether or not toxic is the right word to describe the platform but there's no debating that people in charge of the democratic party had

the claim that the, the ruling democratic party have mishandled the budget. so they cut funds from the essential things like use jobs from the gas fuel development project and a lot more plus. so, you know, it should be just something that to, you know, subtract the likes of the military when he said that the democratic party and actually put the brakes on the improvement funds for military officers by cutting their salaries or cutting the increased suits their salaries and key basically co codes the budget of the democratic party, a mockery of south korea. and so you went as far as the saying that there was nothing less of a dictatorship of if you will. so this is what was happening. but now, as we know, it's after being 40 has, i've over ruled and there's decision for a martial law and people began to legally solve in military leaving the area. so things seem to have come down. if i'm usual, there wasn't it to see such tales on the streets. all the soul is been moving forward to use. i think since the last marshal was the class in south korea, took us throu

now the president is clearly, he's accusing the ruling democratic party. the majority party in the parliament, he citing their mismanagement, sends as wireless of various violations. now he claims that the democratic party has missed allocated funds. he claims that the democratic party cutting money from the budgets which was earmarked for youth jobs, deep sea gas fuel development projects and a lot more and that he's also claiming. and this is also very interesting that the democratic party are also cutting the increase in judy allowances for the military as well. and basically he's saying that their budget is really a mockery of south korea's the finances. and she actually use the words to describe democratic party as a dictate dictatorship and all of this. so it looks like the president is currently in dire straits if you will. and he's looking for someone to blame and the keys appealing to the one. and only thing that's, you know, could arise the people, he's accusing the position of being pro north korea, which is, you know, really very strange. and he

, by all accounts, appears to be a party in peril. one democratid there is no leadership right now at the highest levels of the party. most of the party's messaging will come from hakeem jeffries, house minority leader, but isn't kamala harris supposed to be the head of the demo democratic par? who is it? >> well, there isn't one. this is really not specifically the old of the democratic party. political party does not control the white house or the house or the senate, then they don't have a leader. that is what the democrats, the situation they are going to be incoming next month, and even at this moment, of course, president biden seems to be more out of it then he was even in the past. so they have no one to lead. the only bright spot they have had in the last week or two has been that republicans in the house have so much trouble getting their act together, and they hope -- they, democrats, hope that will help them trip up the republican party in the coming year, but right now there is one leader, and that is the president-elect donald trump,

the republican party has become the party of the working class. and democratsof minorities and coastal elites. but, in the last election. trump gained with almost every minority group in the country. they lost ground with minorities. so they are fast becoming a party of cultural elites. that's why, you know, that's why the ad that trump ran at the end of the last election, the democrats are for they-them i'm for you was so effective because it rang true. >> brian: absolutely. so, let's talk about something else that i think is going to be a much bigger story and stunningly was barely a theme over the weekend. the "wall street journal" and "new york times" talked about a vacant joe biden. in the white house couldn't really do the job. good days, bad days, some invisible days. miranda divine expands on it saying joe biden has been in president in name only since he was inaugurated. and one of the cuts from the story in the "wall street journal" now that he is no longer powerful, his bumbling, stumbling senility is newsworthy no matter that his newspaper consisten

and body knew that the democratic party had a problem. he said, steve, the problem with the democrats today is that they become a party of snobs. now listen to be, not everybody agrees with joe biden on that. but since then, his party has come to be seen as even more out of touch with working class folks of . busy races, white black, latino take your pick to day one, half of the country. totally understand how the democratic party last so badly in this election, while the other half is still scratching their head. but what we all know is that trump ism, is creating a new chapter in american history. sweeping aside america's pretensions and globalization to sure the silicon valley. all the guards like you on must help trump when. but in the end, america's work or send him to the white house fair and square, and now we're in a whole new political world. and that's the bottom line, the of breaking barriers and define expectations. there has never been an unofficial match with multiple score against brazil until we the short such a team did it

historically parties which every two terms. democratsrepare to clean up the mess in 2020 s -- in 2028. john cole saying all of our best people have ft the party. we need tget rid of our parties platforms of the regressive "progressive" agenda and start over. this is from diane on our facebook page saying young and eligibleeoe are coming into their political selves with fresh ideas. that'll be the face of the democratic party. out with the old and in with the new. you can give us a call on the phone lines. let's hear from john in st. louis, missouri on the future of the democratic party. caller: i think democrats are going to be doing great because donald trump is committing the crime of the century still. democrats [indiscernible] republicans break the law but i think democrats will help america always. host: you think after the last election democrats have to to do things differently? caller: we got screwed -- we got manhandled. trump breaks the law. that is all he does. we have to do better. host: that is john in st. louis. this is car

we've a party primarily conservative and we have a party that is primarily democratic is a primarily beral appointed that is, can we have a majority conservative party majority liberal party in the united states that certainly is not clear to me and all trump has transformed the republican party and is made in a party is much more blue-collar and less well-educated and more competitive. in his 12 or three elections nearly in each phase but none of this seems to be that that we have now created a situation in which we don't have a majority party that can in fact resolve the issues the lynn engine that in large part is because the issues are cultural. and the last point and so situation where we really don't know in regards to the last minute cultural issues, i agree with lynn, there will be much much tougher to deal with get a final resolution on and therefore, likely to continue to see this flip-flop back-and-forth is exactly that set issues like abortion, and other things will fracture the republican party. the next two — four years and who would be surprised if in 2026, the quÉbec b

it's democrat party first. no, they don't support slavery per se, although their policies do advance slavery. women in slavery, children in slavery. and they care little damn about it because they say little damn about it and they do nothing about it. no, but it promotes a heinous policy that anybody can come into the united states, that anybody can come into the united states and use our benefits and use our schools and use our hospitals, overwhelm our welfare system. and of course, in the end, the democrats want them to vote. they want them to vote in the cities. they want them to vote in the states. they don't want voter id because they want power. so this is what we need to remember. the old confederacy is alive and well in the modern democrat party. just different people, different direction, but still anti-american. i'll be right back. >> an alternative to pills. voltaren is a clinically proven arthritis pain relief gel which penetrates deep to target the source of pain with non-steroidal anti-inflammator

mark: the media reflect the radical elements of the democrat party or vice versa. the corporate is the massive corporations whether comcast were paramount or disney or what have you, unless the shareholder comes to the meetings and say we don't want joy read that the big on their day in and day out we don't want these problems. my god you have to bring the worst of the worst the most extreme of the extreme day in and day out unless the corporations do something about the platforms nothing will change. >> i think you're completely right that's one of the reasons like jeff bezos standing up at the end for the washington post and saying we i don't think we should endorse and be in the business and all these media organizations if you look around the landscape we consume so much media and read so much of it, even some of the people of the publication might lean right or be ideologically conservative productive cheerleaders for trump they're not the cheerleaders for maga to have anybody on most of the networks was representing the views of the vast majority of americans

the claim that the, the ruling democratic party have but mishandled the budget. so they cut funds, somebody's essential things like jobs from the c gas bill development projects and a lot more. so this is what was happening. but now as we know, a soft dream party has over ruled and others decision for martial loan. and people began sleeve to be solved in military leaving the area. so things seem to have come down the president. so he came out from the people power party and his own party are currently in a position to an allow. i'll former a justice minister hank don't who see slammed the move plus. although position members have also the this decision will not be short of effectiveness. actually they can listen to what they said. the president's declaration of martial law is wrong. we will stop it together with the people, the president, even soon you'll have betrayed the people simply president you suit your has to be legally declared martial law. i'm going from this moment on president use suit your is not the president of the republic of korea and the people
