maria: it is. dagen: stunning when you look at 17-year low on unemployment rate, consumer confidence, a 17-year high, people are feeling better, this is despite people with partisan bias in this country trying to talk down the economy. i was talking to mark penn yesterday, he said that is actually -- one of the democrats' biggest problems, they actually try to talk down the economy. i think that hurt hillary clinton that she didn't -- again, she tried to run on change, well, quite frankly the economy and the stock market were not doing horribly under president obama, they needed to do better but, again, it's like, oh, but we need a 15-dollar minimum wage. their whole platform on the economy is redistribution of wealth, raising taxes on the rich. that's not prosperity and that does not represent the american dream but this does. maria: and the mainstream media refuses to cover this. that's part of the reason that the president is saying fake news because they are not covering the agenda and what has
