asian-american unemployment has also achieved all-time historic lows. the poverty rates for african americans and hispanic americans have reached their lowest levels in history.

trump: the poverty rate hispanics just reached a new historic low. nearly 350,000 hispanics were lifted out of poverty in 2017. that's pretty good. [applause] are very p: these hard numbers to beat. better win the hispanics next time, right? but we did well, we did well. anyone t better than thought. we better win it, alex, i'm you.g to put it on thank you very much. nearly 40% of the reduction in rate is the overty result of poverty reductions mong hispanic americans, home ownership among hispanics is at he highest rate in nearly a decade. hispanic-owned businesses now make up more than 10% of all states.ses in the united that's an incredible number. [cheers and applause] res. trump: they contribute nearly half a trillion dollars to our economy last year alone. hispanic-owned businesses is over twice the national average. something. these are amazing statistics. what do you think, right? these are amazing statistics. be proud of ourselves, it's incredible. of course, i would like to take i take full can credit? [applause] pres. trump: i don't know.

we've seen historically low unemployment in this community and not just them. the viewer also mentioned african-americans as well. created an environment where more jobs of been created, more take-home pay has been created. not just for the hispanic or african-american community, but everybody host:. anyonevious color and who joins in, this program works when you phone in with your own civil discourse. certainly challenging the guest. but when you use racial or ethnic or gender slurs, you are not welcome, so go somewhere else, we don't want to hear from you. connie from new jersey. my question is, is if this president is oh so good for hispanic people, i'm not puerto rican, i'm from spain. but i would say to puerto ricans , this person you have there, he is treating the puerto ricans as second-class citizens, no matter right or init, left between. something he's not realized himself. represent the puerto ricans, ok? look, i will have to disagree. i don't think that is, in my opinion, factual. i think the president cares about this community just as much as any

there are a lot of deployments at historic lows and we are looking at the best of the best. i know there are still two naval folks up here, but we are working with the best of the best. we are doing okay with respect to recruitment today. i would say we are facing challenges in retention. not overall. we are meeting our goals overall. but in some specific areas. but the most significant one is airman. at the last of -- at the end of last year we were about 1000 pilots short. the airlines are hiring. last year they hired about 2500 pilots. we had a summit a couple of years ago with the department of labor secretary and heads of industry. it was really interesting to me that there was a group of communities there, representing rural air service. there are 37 communities in america that have lost their rural air service. not because there aren't companies willing to serve them, but because they can't get pilots to fly the fights. this is a national shortage of aircrew. it impacts us. the airlines come and try to hire pilots, and often at very good salaries. our response has bee

and that is where this is simply case historic low in the history of the program. host: it sounds like he is casting this in economic terms as far as what the u.s. does spend in terms of helping refugees and those who seek asylum in the u.s. adam: sure. one of the arguments from the administration is that refugees have been a fiscal burden to the united states. that conception was rebutted by an economic study that was actually commissioned by the trump administration and done by the trump administration that found that the refugee program has netted the united states economy about $63 billion over the last 10 years. so the economic argument really doesn't work, even compared to the administration's own findings. host: so this is adam bates with the international assistance project, here to talk about this proposed refugee cap. it was announced earlier this week. if you want to ask him questions, it's (202) 748-8000 for democrats, republicans (202) 748-8001, and independents (202) 748-8002. if you are a refugee in the united states and you want to give your perspec

cheryl: even though we have the unemployment rate near historic lows, you've got the wage growth at 2.7% least the estimate but we really should be most analysts say around 4% wage growth considering where the unemployment rate is standing and the fact that so many americans are working. >> one of the things that's happening broadening for the first time in quite a while, if you look at unemployment, broader measure of looking at the employment spectrum, we are bringing more people into the workforce and some of those people who are coming in are at lower level from a compensation perspective, that's why we are not seeing the wage growth, but i do expect as we tighten and tighten and maybe get to 3.7% unemployment, lowest since vietnam war, we will start to see wages kick off. cheryl: it's not wonky, just to explain to viewers here, that includes people that are too discouraged to look for work or part time workers that are hoping to work full-time and aren't finding that and the number is one of the top things that analysts will be looking at when the report comes out, it fell in july t

ask about anytime race is brought up with donald trump he said look at the unemployment rate, historic low in my administration. he doesn't mention 90% of that reduction came under president obama. shannon: he has been the president for two years, does he get credit for what is happening in the economy now? >> he does, he does get credit for the continuing growth of the economy, taking us out of the deep recession, no question about that but it is not therefore legitimate to say i did it all. we are seeing records in terms of the number of months of continuous growth in gdp, in most of that took place in the previous demonstration. >> some are not happy with that argument. there are those who think minorities are under threat because of the president's handling of the supreme court because of this new nominee. a headline from the atlantic said the fear driving conservative support for brett kavanaugh, minorities, women lose basic rights, conservatives don't see it that way. we will debate that as we move on. best wishes with the book and we would love to hear what you have to say. >> thank

then the trump administration slashes the refugee admissions cap a historic low of 30,000 refugees per year. >> the improved refugee policy of thiss adminisistration serves the national interest of the united states and expands our ability doubt those in need all around the world. we will continue to assist the world's most vulnerable while never losing sight of our first duty, serving the american people. amy: amnesty international says the new refugee cap means people fleeing violence, religious persecution, and armed conflict could die. all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. the leaders of north and south korea have wrapped up their third summit this year with a vow to denuclearize the korean peninsula. earlier today, south korean president moon jae-in and north korean leader kim jong-un held a joint news conference in pyongyang. kim vowed to move towards denuclclearization if the united states takes steps of its own. >> we adopted a military pact to end a history of brutal and tragic confrontation and ho

they have been trading historically low for a long time.jor producers are cutting back production, the state-owned company in kazakhstan is cutting back production, and so we are trying to get rid of the oversupply and balance the demand for uranium. alix: this takes a look at trade, this is the leading exporters of uranium to the u.s., a large part of that is canada. how does that wrap into the trade war and doesn't have an impact on prices? >> we always take canada as a friend, they are nearby and they are the second largest producer, we have a lot of imports. it seems to me that it would be something where we would try to accommodate our canadian friends and establish some sort of trade pattern which would allow them to continue to go ahead and export uranium to us. however there is a movement, a petition with the department of congress called the 232 position suggesting we establish quotas for u.s. uranium producers which could change the market significantly. alix: and i think the administration, in some ways they want to save and subs

the first time they polled on kavanaugh was in july, and in july kavanaugh had historically low levels of support in the nbc poll. the raw numbers were 32% of americans wanted to confirm him. 26% did not. it's sort of easiest just to look at the total -- the right column there, right? 32% in support. 26% not supporting him. that means he was plus 6 in terms of the difference between the number of people who wanted him on the court and the number of people who did not want him on the court. plus 6 is really, really low for a supreme court nominee that was july. then the next month in august, nbc did the exact same poll, and his support actually dropped a little bit. he went from plus 6 in july down to plus 4 in august. well, now nbc tonight has just unveiled new polling that's been in the field since this serious allegation was made against brett kavanaugh by dr. christine blasey ford and support for him already historically low by just plus 6, plus 4, support for him now has fallen off the cliff. the support now sat minus 4 by a 4-point margin, more americans want him not on the court

. >> in fact, the unemploymt rates as you point out are historically low. vast majority of poor peop work, look for work. the nature of labor in low-wage market, which is where low-income adults are obviously, is that it comes in cycles. you may get more hours. you may get few hours. you may be called in for time or gelaid off for a while. you may be a seasonal worker. and so there's a normal fluctuating to and fro, andan effort that can be made to help people who are in low-wage jobs who need skills, training, who need help finding work is afu wondthing, and the results of voluntary work programs are actually quite strong. what is a real head scratcher here, from a policy point of view, is why you would ever threaten people's health insurance coverage over this when there is no evidence, in fact, that more than the smallest handful of low-income people just don't work and don't want to work and have no reason tot to work. to putisk people's coverage lymply because they can't report in their monours clocked at work, when, in fact, there is a tiny handful of
