middle america loves trump because these voters have been ignored for far too long.illary clinton barely even campaigned in states like ohio and michigan. in fact, she ran on ending coal mines and putting those folks out of jobs. so to suggest that a liberal from massachusetts, like elizabeth warren is going to, you know, be able to convince these vote that she cares about them more than trump i think is kind of laughable. elizabeth: elizabeth warren to your point kristen admitted today in a radio interview that her state-run plan for the government take overof healthcare would wipe out 2 million jobs. she says they are administrative jobs. i guess the government picked that up. we have to your point the green plan that warren wants. she wants to spend 2 trillion dollars in taxpayer money on clean energy manufacturing. that's about half of the entire u.s. annual budget. final word, quickly, labor unions normally are democrat, but a veteran 25-year uaw autoworker in a detroit news op-ed, he's ripping into 2020 democrats like warren for taking over the economy, notably

how, i guess, is this playing in middle america despite what we are hearing here in washington?ok at polls that, but a couple things are indicators. number one, people at rallies, i saw a story yesterday i think in "the washington post" about people attended president trump rally who were supportive of what he was doing. so the president in terms of his strategy is selling the decision, talking about i don't want to have endless wars. i told people i would bring troops home and that's what i'm doing. that said, another part of his political base is a very critical part, the evangelicals undercut evangelicals were not happy about this decision and saying that openly. so that's middle america too. >> bret: you got questions, counter questions, all kinds. >> but i do think is genuine impulse to want to end endless wars anything he's been frustrated by that because if you look at what happened in afghanistan, he has at various times said he wants to get the u.s. troops out of afghanistan and they are still there and probably not going anywhere, so this is a genuine impulse of his th

that is a newly prosperous middle america and it's middle america that decides elections.ourse. anything good about the trump years is totally ignored. and the socialists running for president repeat the tired old cliches about the rich getting richer and you've got to work two or three jobs to make ends meet. got it. they can't say that tax cuts, deregulation and cheap energy have brought prosperity. to acknowledge that means acknowledging the success of mr. trump's policies and that's something no democrat can do. it's the democrat dilemma. how do you run against prosperity. well, you call the president names, you try to impeach him and you stamp your feet and say oh, i just can't stand him. does all of that beat extra money in middle america's pocket and will middle america take a leap in the dark for socialism? hard to believe that we will abandon the system that's made this country wealthy just because of the president's style and tone. consider this. president trump will easily win re-election if the economy holds up. now, that's from moody's. that's a big wall stree

and stark relief right now so i've talked to a lot of supporters of president trump just out in middle america and one of the things that came up with something i heard you know 20 years ago but it still feels real to them is that america fought the cold war and china won and and that people feel as if for everything that they have expended in lives and energy around the. world other nations are free riding on american power and that they look at it is a sort of an entitlement that is that is due them and jim i want to ask you and that is one would you agree with that because that's where a lot of president from supporters are that they say they want to see america get something back for all of its investment in the world they feel they're due and when you listen to the president's rhetoric whether it's on ukraine or talking about nato or talking to japan or south korea about doing more it's almost a transactional arrangement you need to pay us to defend you we'll decide later if that security guarantee is is good if you buy a lot of weapons so should we bring something it's i hate the word to

kids get just to get it because i think it would be middle america together and i didn't hear that i mean it was only when i know there's no end to it then we said well i think we'll be able to come wasn't because we want to seem you know that these are people might be annoying with them but when i mean. it's you know i when i come in plant there's a lot of eyes ears i love bush but it's no secret. he does guess. what. it is i'm like an enemy that is doing what. everyone. it couldn't even take that could. get ink in it you know i'm $40.00 i want to go king muslim in a skiing course ino us in the us a that i guess i'm deemed. as he listens. to that flick he's going to get close i'm going to. ask him the level is that. oh look there's a lot of this unlucky. seem to be a crucial unease in the world that he had in it. seems to be the nod given away to that maybe at machete employed. people do with him tacky is a that the beanie was a full day not as he did ok even as i see it. and he's always been the guy was good as i'm really almost as dumb as whether that be the. tallest idea that you

and and and the reality is that's not and i also agree with robin that we need to have a middle class america message that you know the same one the same type of messaging that we did in 2016 and we're seeing new international issues that arise you talk about the n.b.a. and china for example things that this president can head on still talk about illegal immigration still talk about you know the trade inequities around the world that's the type of messaging that will that you know won him those states in 2016 i think both nancy pelosi and donald trump understand that the message of impeachment is bad for democrats and it's good for the president but there also needs to be an alternative on what can we do better for especially for middle class america robin in the strong as to he's looked in a long while it would be much in joe biden tim the impeachment what do you make of that and would that increases chances. he's got to get getting some traction here in the new cycle in some fashion larry he's really kind of disappointed me on this situation with the ukraine so i'm glad to see that is makin

ruffalo i think it was lyndon johnson who said when you've lost mark well follow you've lost middle america oh come on well you know it's interesting about where the outrage comes because when i look at this i look no one can make her own decisions at the same time i think people are allowed to quit. sizer decisions and i think when you when she sits up there next to george bush was a divisive figure who i believe is a war criminal i believe that the acts that him and dick cheney pulled off and lying to get us into the iraq war and the 1000000 people that died as a result of it do constitute severe criticism if not charges but we won't do that because well you know he's an ex-president we only do that on popular presidents but there's also the element of where she's sitting she's watching a football game no one's brought up the fact that and i'll go to you steve the n.f.l. doesn't exactly have a great history in terms of like you know the things that she stood up for like l g b t q rights and things like that you know violence against women and things of that nature that's true i mean the n

businesses, but democratic party of bill clinton that was very attractive to blue collar workers middle american wealth confiscation and redistribution, but the economy is so great, the democrats cannot run on fixing the economy. i think that is why they have shifted toward politics of envy and promises of free stuff, a painful attempt to pander to low information voters, but i think that trump is getting a lot of great material from the democrats for the general election. i don't see how any tax paying american could support the policies. elizabeth: even bernie said he will tax lower income people. i want to turn to, your take, democrats -- have been about pro growth in past, now they are senator warren dodging questions about how she will pay for a big government takeover of 1/7 of the u.s. economy, that being healthcare. >> will you raise taxes on middle class to pay for it, yes or no. >> so. i have made clear what my principles are. this is costs will go up for wealthy. >> senator sanders acknowledges he will raise taxes on middle class to pay for medicare for all, have you endorsed his pla

, i bring it back to his base and the people out there at his rallies and many of them across middle america they are not concerned with the palace intrigue. they're not concerned with the developing drama, this going on with the impeachment inquiry and the supreme court. and you said yourself, laura, just a few moments ago with the way the democrats are handling this impeachment, they're doing so at their own detriment and they need to keep it simple if they're going to be effective and not get too in the weeds on this. after all the two years with mull e it left a lot of people very frustrated. if this impeachment inquiry goes the same direction with raising the level of expectations without anything to show for it at the end there's going to be a lot of people, democrats included, that are going to be very frustrated with the democrats. >> i wonder how it ends in the long run. i'm sorry i could not get back to you. i wanted to hear your views on it. but thank you both and thank you for watching. our coverage continues.
