gianno caldwell, it's soaring up the charts. why? thankful and honored to have the endorsement of president trump, brian kilmeade, newt gingrich, ann coulter, many others. my story, i come from the south side of chicago, i grew up extremely poor. mom addicted to crack cocaine. but i found conservatism after getting involved in politics and seeing that the democrats in chicago were ruining the streets of chicago. they made a bunch of promises every year, never delivered on anything. i learned the distinctions between democrats and republicans and i found a life of opportunity in the conservative movement. charles: when you had this he p he pif knee, your story is like a conversion story. >> as i where and take it for granted, i had a conversation with an african-american gentleman on the street. seemingly he had more information than i did because he was giving facts of how african americans were traditionally conservative. in the community i grew up in, i was taught every republican, no matter who, was a racist. after that i research

joining me be deneen borelli and gianno caldwell.ldn't believe nancy pelosi got away with that, could you? >> i'm not surprised. pelosi thinks she can control the media but she can't control her radical democrat house. but it was pretty comical. nancy pelosi doesn't want to talk about the truth. doesn't want to talk about the facts. and when you think about it, david, democrats and the anti-trump media is one big club. so they despise president trump so bad that they would do and say anything to try to get him out of office. the anti-trump media is more than happy to play of along with anything the democrats are saying or doing against the president. >> even if they just get close to a critical question, she then stops the interview and tells them the questions they should be asking without pushback from the person under viewing her. your book is called "taken for granted." it's not talking about the media but it could be in this case. >> here is the truth, for anyone who is willing to be intellectually honest, and we don't see a lot

joining me now, gianno caldwell and his brand-new book is out now, and it's called taken for granted. conservatism can win back the liberalism. so what do you make about skeptics who say, why is the president even trying to make this case where he had 8% of the black voter support? at least last time exit polls blasted around. >> it was 8%, generally 12% among african-american men. and let me be clear for all that are listening. if president trump has been the most impactful president for african-americans for a policy standpoint in my lifetime. we can look at the clear demonstration of policy which has impacted in the policy. this president has allowed thousands of people to come out of prison and 90% of them were african-americans. he's created the best economy for african-americans. the last year president obama was in office until now, over 1.3 million jobs for africans in african-american specifically. the list goes on and on. there hasn't been a democrat or republican who has accomplished as much for african-americans in the first two or three years. it hasn't happened. i think

melissa: here to react to all of that, gianno caldwell, fox news political analyst, author of a new bookhink, do you really think he is going to run? just because he is in there, he laid down the marker in alabama, i'm preserving the option sort of how i would read it. what do you think? >> well we know from what was reported in the news previously that democratic establishment, number of individuals within it were concerned that the current group, the current flock of candidates wouldn't be able to beat president trump. although the polling suggests otherwise i do agree. when you think about president trump's campaign style, how he can rally a crowd, how he does have 95% approval rating within the republican party. all you need to do get independents, competitive in swing states it makes sense. they're looking for someone that will bring enthusiasm to the table, and michael bloomberg certainly does that. melissa: it is so interesting because every democrat who comes on says trump's underwater against all of these candidates. he can't beat this one, can't beat that one, look at polls. >>

let's bring in our panel, gianno caldwell, author of the brand new book "taken for granted," check it. and is jason nicholss, a democrat we like to talk to every now and again. welcome to the show, gentlemen. >> thank you. ed: gianno, if the president continues to say he wants to process, he wants -- due process, he wants to face his accuser, why not come before the committee in some way? do you think it'd be wise for the president maybe to answer some questions from the intelligence committee? >> well, the truth of the matter is if we're not seeing fairness in this process that was before us last week, why would we expect there to be any level of fairness with this president if he were to come before the committee? i gotta give it to the democrats, to be honest with you, ed, i've never seen a group of political folks who are willing to go to the extremes to win an election, and that's what this is. for anyone who's willing to be honest about what we saw last week, this was nothing more than a counterpart to the democrats' 2020 election strategy. when you bring in a number of witnesse

fox news political analyst gianno caldwell joins us now. good morning. >> good morning. having me. ainsley: tell us your story. why is this an important story for you. this isn't a simple news story to me. this is very personal. from my childhood until my 20's i was robbed of one of the most precious relationships a person can have on this earth and that's the relationship with my mother. the thief that stole our relationship was pills, marijuana, and crack cocaine. and this isn't something that simply happened to me. from 1999 in 2017, more than 700,000 americans have died from overdosing on a drug. and there is so many folks who have faced this drug demon and i'm so thankful to president trump for making this a top priority in 2016 when he ran for president. he said that he was going to defeat this addiction crisis and he has invested $3.3 billion towards the fight. now, this isn't just a 5% drop that we have seen. if you look at the numbers overall, places like kentucky, ohio, west virginia, we are seeing numbers in reduction up to 24%. so i'm thankful for his efforts

here with more on his interviews is fox news contributor and author of "taken for granted" gianno caldwellthank you so much. steve: your hometown of chicago you can just be going out sitting on the porch and wind up dead. >> in 2016 president trump then candidate trump said you could be walking down the street and can be shot. people said that isn't true. that's a lie. there are many people who are examples but they are in the graveyard right now. ainsley: gianno, you interviewed one of the guys in your story is no longer with us. what happened to him? >> little greg. i was doing interviews for laura ingraham's town hall in chicago. i met this young man. he seemed likes he could have hope, he could potentially do great things with his life. he was part of the gang life. i offered him the opportunity if i were able to get you job when you get out of the life. he said yes. three months later he weighs killed. -- he was killed. brian: you brought a clip with you from your special. do you want to set it up or just roll it? >> absolutely. this is the new battle for chicago where i interviewed n

here to discuss author of the brand new book gotten to my desk taken for granted gianno caldwell.think about this he entered the race as former vice president. didn't want barack obama's endorsement. claimed he didn't want it. going to do it on his own. doesn't seem to be working out? >> not at all. candidacy deflating. truthfully speaking here is the numbers. 28% overall in the national democratic poll by cnn showed that he that he was leading the field. two things that will change his ranking in the field, i believe. one it burisma and the investigation that's being launched by the senate judiciary committee with lindsey graham which we're going to find out exactly what happened and me being from the state of illinois which has been one of the most corrupt states. i think anybody with a brain would say oh there is something there there that needs to be investigated. and then the seconds thing is his standing with his black voters in south carolina. democrats have began to wonder and concerned about that. if, in fact, he had major losses over in iowa, new hampshire, some of these
