. >> laura: by the way that pains frank luntz to say this because he is not a big fan of trump's.he honest here. now, of course, no matter what the polls say. trump knows he has to do what he has to do which is fight for every single vote. so he needs to keep going to these inner cities, these democrat strongholds, preach the america first gospel, with optimism, and, listen to voters' concerns at the same time. people want cheaper gas, they want cheaper groceries, they want more money in their pockets. and it's time for trump to, perhaps, i don't know, resurrect the old theme song? ♪ ♪ mope, money, money ♪ money. >> laura: this is what the american people care about the brutal unassail i can't believe truth is three and a half years with biden in the white house has left americans, half of americans struggling to stay where they are financially. everyone is paddling joining us now is kevin o'leary. chairman of o'leary ventures. kevin, again, people get stuck on oh, it's about democracy or someone's tone about the press or whether he is nice to cats and puppies. >> is which electio

joining us is frank luntz. frank, what did you think?ve done 32 debates, never has someone performed -- and i was very upset with donald trump in 2020 -- i have never seen a performance like i saw last night. my focus group all undecided from swing states. one swung to joe biden. we never had that before. we are truly in unchartered territory. what blew me away the most was joe biden voters in 2020 don't want him on the ticket in 2024. >> what -- the reaction. you had 14 swing voters from these states. >> uall undecided and voting democrat and republican the last ten years and boy did they swing. >> let's see. you hosted that focus group. let's hear what they had to say. let's listen in. >> he does not have the leadership qualities to survive for the next four years. i don't know you he will survive the next few months. they need a candidate that can beat trump. >> back then, he was an unknown to me, really, at the time. i had seen what trump had done and now i had seen him in action or inaction, i just think that the democrats want to h

frank luntz also did some work around this. he did a massive poll and found it was overwhelmingly positive. people are dying for anything like this. and yet we just don't have the resources. we put them on social media and hope people watch them. i would love to see these running during the nba finals. so, it's kind of budget and scale that is an issue. and then just hoping more people understand. the incentive structure in our country is all misaligned. there is no incentive to do stuff like this. so we are trying to help convince governors first, because governors have to actually do stuff. that is why we kind of thought they are the best group to work together. we do this bipartisan work anyway. but outside of that, to help people understand, not just that it is a good thing to do for our country but that it is good for politics, that you can get elected or reelected doing this. there are some problems with the way we select candidates that makes it a little more difficult to do this. where again, the incentives are to be pe

according to bank of america, frank luntz gillum it is at a 30 -year high and the firm explains it this way as the overall economic side that is very questionable, jobs report last friday, most economic data releases have missed wall street's consensus. they say listen. daily moves relative to volatility are at extreme levels and that poses a risk and it stems from crowding positions, low liquidity, fomo, and investors rushing to sell everything when momentum turns. that's your concern, right? speaking of on the other side of this the economic side on jobs, you know, we've got a piece from arger labs infinite and this suggests the current trajectory of the unemployment rate is actually closer to the path of a hard landing than a soft landing. now my first guest acknowledges this is a unique bull market which has turned past rules upside down and on their head but also admits that two of the four legs have been tied together but he actually says that that all changes when the economy sticks the soft landing. i want to bring in now with me l uthold group former cis jim paulson. jim, last

carpenter jackie kennedy hired press secretary but she was not professional and and frank what frank luntz very frankly jackie didn't use press secretary that much she sort of had a love relationship with the press. johnson came from journalistic background, tv and radio stations. she used the press to facilitate. she created special events, broke press, and at a her programs and pat nixon championed volunteerism and was the first person ambassador for a president and used the press to advertise like her for road trip. the 1974 african trip in 1972. very effective white jimmy carter and rosalynn both agreed that one of their biggest clients ever was that rosalynn was working so hard, but she did not have enough staffing. but jimmy had come in undercutting staffing, and rosalynn said had a huge fight because was supportive of the work. but needed more of a staff. so she won and in 1970, a jimmy carter signed, the white house personnel act act, which officially he named and congress finally authorized government staff for the staff and named the office of the first lady. so beginning with mr

i saw frank luntz, i think made a very, very, good observation, which is one of the hardest things toublic is what the public see as betrayal. and actually, when you make promises to the public about what you're going to deren about what you're going to deliver, then for whatever reason, you don't, whether it's covid ukraine or whatever, when you make a series of promises in a manifesto, or as the pm did when he came in his five promises, and you aren't delivering on them, then the pubuc delivering on them, then the public are going to ask a question. but you bring a real challenge. >> but you bring in the promises and i will agree betrayal. but you bring in the five promises. but the public probably felt betrayed. well before that, i mean, let's i mean, for example, let's say getting rid of boris johnson, who was the person who gave them the 80 seat majority. ultimately, people vote for a party. yes, via mps. but the head of that party does determine a lot of people's vote. and the tory party got rid of boris johnson. yeah. >> and look, i've not i don't think i've spoken about this p

frank luntz is an american political consultant and pollster — he gave us his reaction to the debate., saying, sir, we need another candidate. we need a new alternative. you cannot defeat donald trump. earlier i spoke to richard goodstein, a democratic strategist and former adviser to bill and hillary clinton. he gave me his reaction let's remember in mid—october of 2016 when access hollywood tape came out, when donald trump bragged about grabbing women by the genitals many republicans publicly said he had to step down. you don't have any names associated with the reports yet but what did donald trump do? he fought his way through it and obviously he won. this was a contest last night between somebody who had a hard time finding the right words and somebody whose words bore no semblance to the truth. i think when the campaign gets down to two contrasting visions of the country, i think the public is strongly on the side ofjoe biden, the issues — guns, climate change, strengthening the middle class, standing up to class, standing up to putin, you name it. i suppose the point is whether
