>> a lot of the reagan democrats, the people who brought -- he brought into the party have not stayed with the party. particularly if they're not strongly religious evangelicals, they went back to voting democrat in national election for most of the elections after the fall of the berlin wall. and it wasn't until donald trump in 19 -- in 2016 that you started to see a lot of the same places and the same people or descendants of those people vote for a republican for president again. it was really quite an amazing occurrence. >> did he appeal to them in the same way that ronald reagan did? >> well, in a much cruder way. let's be fair about that. ronald reagan was a man of soaring rhetoric and sunny optimism and donald trump is neither, but what i think he did do that was similar was place his focus from the minute he came down the escalator in trump tower on them. he said, you're americans, you've been given a raw deal by the people in power. the people in power prefer foreigners over you and i'm going to make you great again and that will make america great again, and i think that's v

a vote for democrats is truly a vote for open borders, people pouring into our country, we have no ideaho they are. they're coming in, open borders. you look at sanctuary cities where criminals are protected. if house democrats control the committee and control the floor, they will block every single effort to secure our borders and to defend our communities. nearly every house democrat voted in favor of sanctuary cities. they voted to release criminal aliens to prey on innocent american lives. republicans believe our cities should be safe havens and law-abiding americans, not for criminal aliens or illegal immigrants. [applause] it's time for congress to stop funding sanctuary cities so we can restore the rule of law. [applause] the american people are with us, let's fight to save those incredible american lives and you see what's happened. you see the slaughter, you see the kind of killing and hurt and pain and we are fighting very hard and i think we're doing one hell of a job. you see the difference in numbers, but the laws are not helping us because we have some laws that are very
