james carville said if it's 7%, it doesn't matter what the president does or says, it's not going to be good for the democrats in the mid-term. you have to focus on what you can focus on at this point, and i think that the biggest issue is covid has been basically a wet blanket arguably over the entire agenda. >> i want to turn now to former president trump. he had his first rally of the year yesterday in arizona. for people who might not know, trump is endorsing nearly 100 candidates for the 2022 elections, many of whom question the validity of president biden's win. doesn't this mean his endorsement is a valuable stamp of approval and what does it say about the power he still holds? >> a lot of republicans think it matters and in a crowded primary i think it matters a lot. it all depends on how big is the real trump wing in the republican party? 30%? 70%? 80%. i think we are going to get a test of this. he's decided to make the 2020 election a litmus test, and he's blatantly doing it and looking to endorse anybody that will either sign on to his big lie or perpetuate it, and we wil

but they were coined by political strategist james carville back in 1992.e so many ways to measure the economy. i think it is clear. nothing really matters more than real, real hourly wages. take a look at a chart, see all the lines at the bottom. you see where the chart spikes higher. that's when you saw a real earnings, real wagers going through the roof. the only thing that really stopped it was covid-19. now the question is, why was it happening then. or maybe can it happen again now? ask former white house chief economist joe lavorgna. you were part of the architectural team that made that happen. what was the secret sauce? >> the secret sauce, charles, was the tax cut and jobs act of 2017 which was designed to lower marginal rates, more importantly corporate tax rates and that income ultimately flows through to workers, through, through, higher pay and of course investments in productivity and enhancing equipment which could pay higher wages. what we saw in 2018, 2019, was a massive increase in household median income, especially at the lower, middle

and then there's democratic strategist james carvil with some great advice. >> you promote.didn't get. don't talk about what you didn't get. that's what these -- democrats whine too much, chuck. stop being a whiney party and get out there and fight and tell people what you did. >> enough with the whiney party. is he talking about the democrats or is he just talking about all of us as we've gone through year three of omicron? because there's been some whining. carville is making a serious point, though, that there has been within the democratic party and thus within its activist community and then the wider community of people who care about politics, an obsession with roadblocks like senators manchin and sinema instead of some of the wins, as he puts it, from year one. that includes the job growth numbers, which are undeniable, which relates to a better economy, unemployment down to pre-pandemic levels. have you heard about that? we turn now to someone who is about as white house credentialed as james carville but with less of an accent. a senior adviser to president obama w

. >>> long-time democratic strategist james carville wants his party to rethink how it organizes and spends money. in an interview with vox he said this, jamie harrison raised over $100 million only to lose his senate race to lindsey graham by 10 points. amy mcgrath runs for senate in kentucky and raises over $90 million only to get crushed by mitch mcconnell. they were always going to lose those races but democrats keep doing this stupid stuff. they're too emotional. democrats obsess over high-profile races they can't win because that's where all of the attention is. we are addicted to hope fluorosalicic causes. james continues, what about the secretary of state in wisconsin or the attorney general race in michigan? how much money are democrats and progressives around the country sending to those candidates. i'm telling you, if democrats are worried about voting rights and election integrity, then these are the sorts of races they should support and volunteer for because this is where the action is and where things will be decided. joe, james never mincing words, talking to his fell

. >> that's absolutely right that is also something that james carville talks a lot about.and loud but they certainly don't represent a majority of the party. and right now the only number that president biden needs to kaish is 32. that is his approval rating in pennsylvania. that's not his approval rating in west virginia or another southern conservative state. he won that state in 2020. and he's at a 32% approval rating right now. which means that a lot of democrats or i should say a lot of independent and democrats see democratic party as way too liberal right now. lawrence: way too liberal and they go crazy. they go crazy and i think -- you know if someone is a libertarian and trying to pull both sides accountable give me any hope. >> quickly do you remember when kyrsten sinema was harassed in a bathroom stall and president bidessen asked if he con dheams type of behavior and he said no it is just politics for you. that's not politics. you can -- you can get your point across without harassing people -- and that would be politics then and then you could actually persuad

well, james carville, who knows a thing or two about elections, has a warning for democratsng against lurching too far to the left. a little late for that saying 60% of adults in this country identify as progressive only 11 orti 12% of the democrats identify as progressive. so someone like manchin isse closer to the mainstream than a lot of these people think. hanand pretending like he isn't won't help the cause. so lisa, this is a sliver of far left activists who have an outsized influence in the democrat party . i mean, they they got stephence breyer to retire and announced it earlier than he wanted to. that's how much influence they have in the party . well, they have enormous amount of influence. but what biden has really done is blown himself up by justg governing so moronically. i mean, look, this is a guy where he's been acting like he has some sort of mandate w when they barely haveri a majority in the house and they're 50 50 in the senate . he doesn't have the numbers to try to get these big progressive policies done.wh and so what he's done is is he alienated independents, a

i just want to see proof besides james carville.king for the truth. >> the truth is out there. >> jesse: conspiracy theories can be fun, crazy, but sometimes true. many times, theories are about things the media might lose money over. what starts as a crazy idea isn't crazy at all. what's going on with joe biden and the cartels? i'm not saying joe biden's actively colluding with the cartels, although there is more evidence of this thing and there was colluding with russia, but just look at his policies and who benefits. as always, follow the money. it certainly sounds like both the cartels and the democratic party are mutually benefiting from what's unfolding along the border, and so are the chinese. since troy took over took over, nearly 2 million migrants have been caught crossing the country. hundreds of thousands more we just missed. >> president biden: i would in fact make sure that we immediately surged to the border. all those people are seeking asylum. they deserve to be heard. >> jesse: that was only the start. biden to con

this is something that a james carville talks about a lot.nly don't represent a majority of democrats. so, yeah, it might have felt good to get the pat on the back from the environmentalists when president biden killed the keystone xl pipeline, but look at what happened with gas prices. and then he goes to the social spending bill that couldn't pass because this country truly is evenly divided and so is the senate, and then he tries to play the race card and managed to anger everybody. if you're president biden, the only number that should matter to you is 32. that is his approval rating in pennsylvania. not virginia, pennsylvania, a state that he won in 2020. so i know that the president and the administration doesn't look at fox news for advice, but i really do think that they overestimated how progressive this country is. >> well, they should. and, tyrus, in addition to failing policies, a dearth of leadership and so much more, this president also has a really odd way of messaging. so let's watch an example of his creepy whispering that he

typically political sentiment follows the james carville rule, you know, it's the economy stupid. as a nation. look, there are plenty of rational reasons for folks to feel frustrated, from the ongoing pandemic to the persistence of the big lie and rising costs from inflation. yes, we face real challenges, as every generation does. perfect is never on the menu. but what if i told you we are not as deeply, evenly, and hopelessly divided as it feels because the truth is we're not a 50/50 nation on many major issues. instead, there's surprisingly broad agreement on basic facts and values within america. it's just that a loud minority of the population keeps dominating the population. the fact we have one political party who for the most part refuses to accept a free and fair presidential election is bad for our democracy, no question about it. even if 69% trump voters believe the big lie, that translates to just 29% of the american people as a whole. that's not an evenly divided nation. instead it's evidence of an intense minority who have been indoctrinated by hyperpartisan nonsense.

>> wolf, i don't often quote james carville. we have to remintd people of what we've done.plan that's led to almost full employment. the infrastructure bill that no president had been able to pass. the distribution of vaccines. i agree that there are still challenges. we still need to figure out how we pass some version of build back better. we need to figure out how we help our supply chains produce more to lower prices but the president has a lot to run on and we have a lot to be proud of as a democratic party. >> that's a fair point indeed. before i let you go, i know you're calling for the cdc director to be replaced saying, quote, we need clear, better communication. given all the uncertainty around this pandemic, do you think someone else could do a better job? >> i tweeted out, i thought ashish jha would be terrific. i think we need someone like dr. ashish jha, someone who is compassionate, who has been right on most of the calls, who understands that we need to be fast when it comes to masking and testing and getting that out there. there are others as well. but i d

now, typically, political sent sentiment follows the james carville rule, you know, it's the economy,eling not so fresh as a nation. a recent nbc news poll found 72% of americans think we are headed in the wrong direction, and look, there are plenty of rational reasons for folks to feel frustrated from the ongoing pandemic, to the persistence of the big lie and rising costs from inflation. yes. we face real challenges, as every generation does. perfect's never on the menu. but what if i told you that we are not as deeply, evenly, and hopelessly divided as it feels? because the truth is, we're not a 50-50 nation on many major issues. instead, there is surprisingly broad agreement on basic facts and values within america. it's just that a loud minority of the population keeps dominating the conversation. let me explain. the fact we have one political party that, for the most part, refuses to accept a free and fair presidential election is bad for our democracy. no question about it. but even if 69% of folks who voted for trump believed the big lie, as a recent "washington post" poll sho

the way strategist james carville sees it, democrats have been whining too much, focusing on things theyu sense anything within the democratic leadership or leading democrats that suggests they're going to change strategy here? >> reporter: no, but nancy pelosi has said that as well. she's said that they need to start bragging more about what they've done, but, listen, i think what sahil said is right, is that the caucus, the senate democratic caucus, 48 members, want a vote in part, i would say, to shame joe manchin and kyrsten sinema for not wanting to get rid of the filibuster. i'd say that is a big part of this. but i don't see anything changing. i mean, for the basic fact that the democrats have control of all of washington and they've not been able to get voting rights done, they are stuck on the bbb, they have not been able to raise the minimum wage, there is a host of things they haven't been able to do, gun control, things of that nature, and they're frustrated, but the reality is when you have a 50-vote total in the senate there's not much you can get done. >> thanks to both of

james carville who famously said it's the economy, stupid, look, it really, really is here. is the reason that democrats lost this county that was once a democratic stronghold, as you say, and right now it's these voters here who say they are being hit incredibly hard by inflation and by these supply chain issues. you can see that just about every corner you turn here in luzerne county. i'm at a locally-owned gas station where they tell me that gas prices at this station have gone up about 90 cents in the last year and this is a region that realize heavily on oil, on gas. a lot of trucking and just about every business here and those trucks are hard to keep on the road, hard to fill up at the tank because of the prices and people are also having a hard time finding basic parts. i have a gentleman down the road here who has a topsoil business, he can't get truck tires for his trucks even if he is willing to pay a higher price for them. and this is what voters say, democrats they feel like have left behind their blue collar base. i want you to hear from a gentleman named ed ha

james carville was asked about this. you will see a lot of attention in the new year turn to the mid-terms and whether or not democrats hold on to what they have or can sustain or stop the bleeding. here is carville on sunday. >> what you do, chuck, is you run on what you've got. you don't run on what you didn't get. the stuff you got is pretty good. democrats whine too much, chuck. quit being a whiny party and get out there and fight and tell people what you did and tell people the exact truth. >> bill: on that point running what you got to borrow carville's words there. what's better than a year ago i think america can ask. covid is a mess, economy is teetering right now. what's better than a year ago? major questions for the president when he has that press conference two days from now on wednesday. >> dana: also today in the "new york times" and "washington post" saying supply chain issues could continue well into this year because china is suffering from omicron that we'll talk about later as well. >> bill: that con

. >> martha: it's interesting what james carville said.ney and you have to focus on the stuff that you achieve. then i hear this plan to change his posture from being a legislator and former senator because that hasn't gone well in three efforts to go up on capitol hill and wrangle his own party to his side on major ledge lakes, the bbb and this voting reform. it's failed. so there's no doubt, no surprise i should say, bret, that they want to go we're not doing that anymore. >> bret: well, it's pretty ironic that this is happening on the day that the voting reform effort is going to fail miserably by the numbers in the senate. he's going to have to field that question as well. you're right. he's the executive. he's not a senator anymore and he's not done what he said on the campaign trail, which is figure out a way to get the senate to work on both sides and come up with things that people agree on first instead of what they disagree on. that is not the legislative push that they have made. they have done a hat tip to the progressive side

lot of outside advisors who often take to the air waves to advise the white house, but i know james carvilleto carol's point exactly to, campaign on what they have done. the democratic party is so different. the republicans don't have public support behind what they are doing and what they're blocking and they go out and bang their chests. the democrats actually have a lot of public support behind what they're for and they're timid about bragging. do you see any sort of potential for reversing those fates? >> not really. look, it's an old problem, and the issue is that republicans are much more cohesive party. it's easier for them to rule with a narrow majority. the democrats are a coalition party and there's more cats to herd and people and groups to line up and it's harder and democrats needed a bigger majority in congress to do big things. what they did wrong here was they set out to do huge things on the thinnest of majorities and it was just, you know, obviously going to be a problem. i'm not sure what "b" was after "a" and "c," and maybe they have one now. >> we'll be watching. carol l

this, but if you flip around the stations, nobody sees him with a good story to tell outside james carvillering any and all questions. i just can't see that, brian. >> well, a couple of things. remember when he answered any and all questions with george stephanopoulos, he told us nobody anticipated the fall of afghanistan as quick as it did. now it comes out they told him the air force is not realize to support their -- ready to support their troops, and they need maintenance and contract workers, and they said that, the inspector general released that report. they said it january of last year. so we watched him sit with george stephanopoulos and deny that anyone told him afghanistan would fall this quick. and then we see our generals testify and basically walk it back. stuart: it's must-viewed tv tomorrow afternoon, because that's a big deal for this presidency. let me turn to new york city. the mayor, eric adams. he says the subway is safe. this comes after the recent death of an asian woman who was pushed in front of an ongoing subway train. i just want you to think for a second, brian,

he was a speechwriter for the 30 ninth president but we see the same with james carville, the mastermindda, you will get left out of the room for all the reasons i just mentioned. moderation, it wants checks and balances and to do what chuck schumer is going to do in a week or two as far as go ahead with the voting rights agenda and try to blow up the filibuster in doing so. democrats keep stepping on their own raked time and time again to quote dana perino on that, stealing the grapevine from her. stuart: do you think maybe the republicans are overconfident about their impending win at the end of this year? >> they need to offer something in return, not like those guys are bad, elect us, better have something like the contract with america like newt gingrich had. offer common sense stuff, and as far as inflation by not spending trillions more or on crime, we feel we should refund the police, not defund the police. in education we think parents should have a big say in the curriculum, teachers union running things and go down the line. we believe in building the wall and remain in mexico

veteran democrat james c carvill e says they should quit being the whining strategy.e. what does he do? pivot away from the far left or double down on the policies that have wrecked his first year he also has to show that he is up to the job, capable of answering questions without a prompter. where do they think this venom is going to get them? the third hour of "varney" & company is just getting started. straight to the mercedes schlapp , you'll be pleased to know that i'm not entirely negative this morning as you criticized me last week, i remember distinctly. let's get serious. do you think the president will be able to pivot? will left let him? >> look, there's no room for pivoting and the biggest issue that joe biden has is that he has embraced his ideological purity from the left, which has led to these misguided policies of supporting crt, for example, of pushy economic policies that have only created more problems for our economy, for the failed withdrawal of afghanistan. it has been one misstep after another by this administration, quite frankly, when you're
