. >> obama had a better first year in office, so many people forget. he inherited a wonderful economyobama's numbers were much better and this tax-cut everyone says will benefit the rich and people like trump. the champagne being popped in the white house -- >> you said obama's economy was better, obama's economy was pretty flaccid if you look at the numbers. >> housing was up, the growth rate was the highest we have ever seen on the job growth rate, higher than we have ever seen in this country so obama handed over a wonderful economy to trump. trump is switching things around and making it sound like this are a lot worse but things are great, he inherited a great economy. it is not the disaster he loves to talk about and people see through it and is why the resistance will keep growing, people don't like, he's not doing much. >> everybody plays with the numbers when we talk about the economy, and did the president inherit a great economy? >> only the democrats could say after eight years obama inherited a poor economy, after eight years he owned the economy, there's a reason the oba

the obama economy flirted. neil: wasn't she being clear before? >> no, you're not because here is why. the obama economy as much as i dislike his economic policy flirted with 3% growth a few times and it fell back and one thing i will tell you with stock buybacks, with cutting the corporate tax rate. that's going to stimulate a lot of stock buybacks. it may be good for the market. neil: wouldn't that be. charles: but this year? >> that's for a lot of reasons but let me tell you something. charles: including the thing called earnings. topline growth is rocking. >> how are we going to put people to work and increase their wages? do that by investing in plant and equipment. charles: they're starting to do that. >> with regulations. neil: lauren? >> we do that also with de regulation. the president's goal for next year is for every new regulation they will pullbkac thr, so it'setter than they heard this year. neil: i heard that tooike we'll tak one, t,hen three. let me see youo it. >> okay, so i can tel you so far in 2017, we said we have had three ne

under the obama economy compare and contrast he had his boot on the neck of the american economy with job killing regulations and high taxes we were told your honor boma 16% black un. . rate was 16% now it is a 17 year low that spans three administrations. you say what you want about what obama did to turn the economy around. but we were told that was the new normal. job losses. consumer confident was down. by the way, black homeowner ship is up under president trump. when president trump campaigned he said to black voterins. give me a chance now he is producing i see good for all americans but in the black community a 17 year low in the unemployment rate. >> so, the congress just passed and the president signed a new tax bill reduce the rates do you believe that will help in the minority communities or not help in the minority communities >> no , i don't. >> why. >> the tremendous amount of debt we'll have to shoulder. >> the democrats are concerned about the debt. >> is it odd how everyone changed. suddenly the republicans don't care about the debt and are add to it and bringing up

>> i definitely think that, you know, president trump has benefited from the obama economy and the increase in the stock market at this point. so, yes, i do think it is a difficult line to walk when you're critical of an administration that has done not very much to contribute to this strong economy but certainly that is the reality. and so if americans are not feeling pain in the pocketbooks, it is something they will not feel negatively towards the administration. but i think democrats can definitely point to the impact of the tax reform bill on people's health insurance and that will be something that democrats can run and win on. >> joe, that same poll found 51% on of voters disapprove of president trump's handling of the economy. 44% say they do approve. so how do republicans interpret that? >> well, it just depends on what district you're in, what state you're in. republicans have tough races in arizona and nevada. democrats on the senate side, democrats have tough races in missouri and indiana. for republicans, what they will say is of course the economy is growing. the s&p of course

. >> [applause] >> neil: all right president obama taking credit this week for an economy that continues growing under president trump. charlie whose got it right? >> charlie: it's trump's economy now and here is why i will say this. if you look at the trajectory first of all generally economic expansions last seven years it should have been donna round the time he left office and the amount of growth that came post- trump and by the way before you jump down my throat, i am no trumpkin. >> neil: that's for sure. >> charlie: but if you look at the wage growth there's been wage growth. >> neil: so that acceleration is on the president, this president >> charlie: and here is why. >> neil: real quick. >> charlie: he does one thing but say no more regulations it's a massive tax cut and got to give it credit. >> neil: i'll tweet what you just said within seconds. >> charlesment. president trump unleashed this economy and initially they call this soft data because it's survey and now it's hard data and jobs and this is trump's economy and it's on fire. >> neil: danielle, whose ec

he inherited a robust economy from president obama and it continues to be robust, so if the economy stays good, i don't think people will punish the president for this, even if they privately think it's not changing. >> operative word immediate. january and february people might see more in their paycheck as a result, but it's the long-term or midterm, talking 2018, you know, patrick, where if voters end up seeing or experiencing that this becomes the massive tax cut for the rich and the big corporations, might republicans be, you know, feeling it in a different way come midterm elections? >> they could gain a benefit, fred, and david said something that's really important that i want to return to. right now, you know, president trump for this, you know, first year has been largely like a culture warrior president. really he's focused on these cultural issues in terms of accomplishments it's really been neil gorsuch getting to the supreme court, that's been it. but now he's going and he's played his base with the tweets, rallies, so much of the time, but now if they do get this major tax

obama. he said in a speech yesterday that this proportion of the economy, the market is a continuation of thebama recovery. what do you make of that? >> goodness. well, you know what? i don't follow president obama and his comments anymore. i've been focused on policy. i fundamentally disagree with that comment. the recovery has all been due to president trump and what he's focused on. he's campaigned on policies that got him elected that he's implementing. that is refreshing. we have someone in the white house that is taking it to the mat for the average everyday american. man, god bless him for it. we need somebody that does care about the average american at home. that's what he's doing. >> neil: do you have any doubt right now that this has been portrayed as a tax cut that favors the rich and favors corporations and that that is sticking or not in polls with americans who seem to agree? >> a lot of what i heard come out of the democrats is simply untruthful. some of the things i hear them say is shameless. the distortions of the truth that they have talked about this tax bill under has be

under the obama economy, he had his boot on the back of the american economy with job killing of regulationst obama, 16% black unemployment rate was the new normal. now it16 is down nearly 7%, almi below 7%, 17 year low. that stands almost three administrations. you can say what youad want abon obama did to turn the economybut around< q i will remind you. we were told the that was the nw normal. job losses, consumer confidence. and black home ownership is up under donald trump too.en president trump when he started campaigning, he said, to the black voters, hey, give me a chance. what you have to lose?ring and all, he is producing. i see nothing but good for all americans, specifically in the black community, 17 year low in rate.employmentnt >> jason: congress just passed and he signed a new tax bill. it will reduce the rate. you believe that will help the minority community or not help them? >> no, i don't.ous you think about the tremendoust amount of debt that we will havm to shoulder.once >> jason: suddenly the democrats are all concerned about the debt. >> jason: is no is no where and

if he can continue the obama economy he probably does have a good chance. democrats will have to get their act together to try to take him down in 2020. >> kimberly: charlie, he circles it back, austan did. president trump should send president obama a thank you note of some sort. is that what it was? >> this reminds me of back during the obama years everything would go wrong even in the 70 year obama was still blaming president george w. bush. and now it's the exact same thing. now it's all flipped. i think there is still time, austan. i think we can bring you over to the good side. [laughter] >> kimberly: we have got to show him the money. follow the money. >> deny that you ever defended this tax bill. when everything goes wrong you will say no, no, i knew that was a problem and they should have gotten rid of that. >> kimberly: somehow i don't think i will be hiding in the corner. that's all i have got to say. >> if you are an honest economist i think even you will be turned around on this within three years. >> kimberly: we have to meet back here in thre

argument they've been using forever, and now i understand after hearing from larry summers why the obama economyo bad. for him to suggest that because people are forced to buy obamacare, that they somehow have health care is a complete and outer life. the insurance under obamacare doesn't necessarily provide you any health care. first of all, it's too expensive and second of all, because there's not enough doctors now and the demand for health care has gone through the roof as a result. waiting times for health care have increased. rural hospitals are closed. this idea now that we are allowing people to get out of an entitlement program which is obamacare, of course it's terrifying to democrats because that mean people can spend their money and buy their own health care, opening up another market, an indictment of government run health insurance. >> jesse: do not really kills people? the obama va scandal. people actually died there. >> juan: yeah, yeah, yeah. let me tell you, katie. >> jesse: i thought i made a pretty good point. >> juan: more people covered by insurance. >> katie: because they

if we can get the economy growing faster than the 1.9% anemic growth of the obama years, think about that. the economy is growing 3.2% since world war ii it were being asked to settle for the new normal when the economy grew at 2% or less. we can see wages improve. we'll see family income improve. if we can cut the tax burden known as the obama individual mandate tax, families will be better off. family for will see their tax burden cut by $2200. only talk about chileans of dollars $2200 doesn't seem like a lot of money. for families struggling to meet their obligations paycheck after paycheck $2200 can make a big difference. they can pay off a mortgage or replace a water heater get a car fixed. or finally take a family vacation. the last claim i have heard is that in mainly benefits corporations at the expense of normal hard-working men and woman. this is false. some portion of our tax rates are always borne by labor. the critics sometimes claim that if you do something for business whether pass-through business or corporation it has no effect on the people who work for. it's wrong.

what happened under the obama economy? they'll never tell you how bad it is. we told you during the last election, the slowest economic recovery from a recession since the 40s. 11 million more americans on food stamps. eight million more in poverty. a homeownership rate at its lowest in 15 years. 50 million americans in poverty. an increase of eight million. obama, the only president never to reach 3% growth in the country of the gdp. president trump, gdp, 3.3%. the highest rate in three years. in october, 261,000 jobs were created. two million since president trump was elected. unemployment, a 17-year low. consumer confidence, 17-year high. medium existing home prices in october, 2017, up 8.7%. since january. the stock market today another record. all-time record. based on that alone, who do you trust? the obama people and their liberal media, the friends on the left side of the aisle? they want this bill to fail when they failed all of us for eight years? or what about this president that has literally put confidence in the heart of american corporations by

you bet this is obama's economy. >> jesse: we can afford to give some money back to the people who earned it. >> juan: ebenezer scrooge speaks to america. >> greg: you want to keep part of your paycheck. >> jesse: have you ever checked the box? >> kimberly: was she fired, dragged out of the white house after storming at the president's residence? omarosa has her side of what sounds like a wild story. let's get the big guy in place. the ford year end sales event is here. i can guide you in. no, thanks , santa. i got this. santa: uh, it looks a little tight. perfect fit. santa needs an f-150. that's ford, america's best selling brand. hurry in today for 0% financing for 72 months across the full line up of ford cars, trucks and suvs. for a limited time, get an additional $1,000 cash back on top of 0% financing for 72 months. get these exclusive offers during the ford year end sales event. get these exclusive offers i am totally blind. and non-24 can make me show up too early... or too late. or make me feel like i'm not really "there." talk to your doctor, and call 844-234-2424. this ♪s elec

they can even run on the fact that the obama economy is in many ways, what we're experiencing today. but if democrats don't focus on those issues, it could come back to bite them. that's how they did well in virginia and that's how we did well in alabama. >> as we look to 2018, i've been watching this, rutgers university center for american women and politics. the number of women that are running for congress, we're at an all-time record here, 369, according to the report, so far this year. 41 for the senate so far. all-time highs, kirstin. >> yeah, it's absolutely incredible. and i think we should be hopeful and i have been a proponent as well as many other young women on the conservative side, saying, we need to get more women to run. it's the future of the party. it helps bring a softer message to republicans who are often characterized as people who only care about the rich and it's an old boys' club. so there needs to be an image and messaging change as well. we encourage more women and minority republicans to run and make sure the republican party reflects america just like the

pete sessions and commerce nicole from oklahoma -- congressman cole from oklahoma rail on how the obama economy was so terrible, and how after seven years of republican to denyy against obama, him the economic growth after he andped the drain of jobs saved the economy, but not quite, because here we are with more banking regulation -- deregulation, free trade, more that created the debt. give -- host: i want to give ken stern a chance to jump in the but a question for you, do you have any family members or friends that are republicans? all of them. i am union. dad taught me a trade when i was a tyke. i started to go to work with him when i was five years old, and i kept that all my life. i finally got to join a union that had retirement, health care, and things that are part of what i call the american dream -- the chance to live within your society with dignity, and you earn enough rather than go out and died and work three jobs at minimum wage, --beg, and-- bag work three jobs admin wage and scratch. thank you for asking. host: that is randy in iowa. mr. stern, jump in. guest: i think that is

first off, i would like to make a comment about the fact that, i still believe this is president obama's economy. trump, you know, he dropped regulations, which talking about regulations, which i think that does spur the growth for the stock market, but that doesn't help a whole lot of people who don't have money in the stock market. as far as what's going on in alabama, i think this is a huge step for the resistance. for those of us who are trying to right the ship now as we see it under very poor leadership and possibly an illegitimate administration. let's hope that we can do something in alabama, and the democrats can at least have a very strong showing. and what i'm most concerned about though, and i called my senator, i called senator manchin about this, was alabama one of the states that had interference during the 2000 election, because there were some states that were directly affected by some hacking in their systems. i just, i couldn't find out if alabama was one of those. i'm concerned there might be issues with the ballot count and so forth and so on. >> are you confident in going t

what happened under the obama economy, they will never tell bad it is. told you during the last election, under obama, the slowestt economic recovery froma recession since the '40s. 11 million more americans on food stamps. 8 million more in poverty. home ownership rate at its lowest in 51 years. 15 million americans in poverty. and at increased, as i said, of 8 million. get this, obama, the only president in the history of this country, never to reach 3% gdp growth in the country. meanwhile, since president trump was elected, third-quarter gdp just yesterday was revised upward 3.3% for the highest rate in three years. in october, 261,000 jobs were created, nearly 2 million now since president trump was elected. unemployment, 17 year low, consumer confidence, 17 year high. median existing home prices oveh all housing types in october, 2017, up 8.7% since january. the stock market today, another record, all-time record, based on that alone, who do you trust? the obama sycophants that gave us these failed policies? their cohorts in the liberal media? their

take-home and economy does boost, why are we worried >> anything regarding a economy we have to give credit to president obamaonomy is coming along and that's because of everything he did before he left office. any of the tax incentives expires in eight years. any of the tax cuts dedicated to the corporations. so the big fat cats on wall street are dancing in the street >> it did something that the republicans were not able to over the summer and pealed back a major provision of the obamacare and the president talked about that today, take a essentially repealed obamacare because we got rid of the individual mandate which was terrible. and that was a primary source of funding of obamacare. >> so this, it was sort of a back door repeal, something the republicans wanted to do all all, where did you go from here with this? because you have many provisions taken away from the affordable care act. can the republicans next year come together and come up with something that you can get everybody on board with in terms of a stabilizing what's left of obamacare? >> they we don't have to reach across the aisle. and you

if we can get the economy growing faster than the 1.9% anemic growth of the obama years, just think about that. the economy has grown on average at 3.2% since world war ii, yet we're being asked to settle for the new normal of the obama years when the economy grew at 2% or less. so if we can get the economy growing faster, we will see wages improve, we will see family income improve. and if we can cut their tax burden and relieve them of onerous things like the poverty tax known as the obama individual mandate tax, families will be better off. median family of four will see their tax burden cut by $2200. now, i know in washington, d.c. when we talk about millions and billions and trillions of dollars, $2200 doesn't seem like a lot of money. but for many families struggling to meet their obligations paycheck after paycheck, $2200 can make a big difference. it can help them pay off their mortgage or pay college tuition for their children or replace a water heater or get their car fixed or finally take a family vacation, long delayed. now, the last heedless claim i've heard about our tax bil

. >> if he can continue the obama economy, he probably does have a good chance for the democrats haveeir act together to take them down in 2020. >> kimberly: charlie, president trump should send president obama i think you don't have some sort? is that what it was? >> [laughs] this reminds me of during the obama years when everything would go wrong, even and the seventh year, obama would still blame his predecessor, president george w. bush. and now it's the exact same thing. it's left. i think there is still time, austan. i think we can bring you over to the good side. >> [laughs] >> kimberly: we got to show him the money. follow the money. >> you will -- when everything goes wrong, you will say i knew that was a problem he should have gotten rid of it. >> if you are an honest economist, i think even you will be turned around on this within three years. >> kimberly: we will have to meet back here in three years. mark your calendars. fantastic. guys, that was a pleasure. coming up, we are awaiting a vote on tax plan. also, tonight, republican congressman blasts andrew mccabe before hi

economy as a whole has stagnated with weak, economic growth. almost nonexistent wage growth. this tax bill marks the beginning of the end of the obama era economy. the tax bill will usher in a new era of dynamism. americans can keep more earnings and it will improve the economic situation for the long-term. will send a message that america's serious about competing, succeeding, and winning in the 21st century economy. american companies will compete in the american people thrive. i look forward to going to congress with the house of representatives and getting a final comprehensive reform bill. we have a once in a generation chance to make a difference in the lives of literally millions of americans. it's time to get the bill across the finish line. i yield the floor. >> the senator from vermont is recognized. >> mr. president, president trump and the republican leadership has a just heard are talking every day on television, news conferences, telling the american people of this tax bill that was passed at 2:00 a.m. on friday night without any hearings, with no serious debate, how this tax bill is designed to help the middle class a

many of them are actually crediting the obama administration for the economy, believe it or not. they are getting credit. getting those numbers up. i know you don't believe in the polls, but you don't think that's important in the midterms with these critical senate races given you have a lot of people who want president trump to resign. a building movement to investigate him on sexual harassment allegations. in the senate and house don't you need that majority? >> let me be clear. i'm skeptical about what the poll numbers are. but i think you can count on the fact this president, myself, our entire team, we will be canvassing across the country in the next year. we will be telling the story of the progress this country is making. i really have to tell you. we live in a very divided time in the life of this nation. and i think the president and i truly believe that being in the most powerful economy in the world that only grew by 1.8% every year on average for the last eight years has created a level of frustration. when the president coined that phrase, the forgotten men and wom

economy is going gang busters. yes, it is. thank you, president obama. rate to give millionaires and billionaires a tax cut? >> i don't understand -- maybe i do. why the folks won't admit the economy was doing well under president obama. that he had hthe worst recessio and was coming out of that. when this president said he was handed a mes, if he had been handed the economy that barack obama -- this is facts. i wonder if he would be crying -- can you imagine? i want to get back to chuck schumer. this is a valid point. schumer did site the election and republican scott brown won. because republicans agreed back then to post pone their vote until brown could be seated. do you think republicans will do the same here, maria? >> absolutely not. >> is that why ed wouldn't answer? >> yes, i do think that's why ed wouldn't answer. they've already said they're not going to do it because they're scared to have the american people have more time to look at exactly what's in this tax bill and it will become even more unpopular than it is now. it will be the deeply u

the economy we have today is still obama's economy. it's not -- trump hasn't done anything. have been passed or anything like that to help this economy. we are still in the obama economy with a 4.1% unemployment. thank you. host: all right. angelique in big bear city. independent. caller: hi. thank you for taking my call. i was calling about the roy moore statement that the man made before about these pages being in the white house. host: on the senate floor. on the senate floor. caller: on the senate floor, yes. well, the thing is there are a lot of young people who go into our government to learn, and the problem is that they are being targeted by the senators and the congressmen and these kids are afraid to say anything. monica lewinsky, even though she may have been in her 20's, was a young girl. she was very young. and so her life was ruined because of what this older man had done to her, regardless of whether or not he was the president. she should have been safe in the white house. now, we've come to a government to where our children are no longer safe in -- anywhere

they see their parents struggle under obama economy. now that has changed. they hear positive reports about growth and stability. i have personal experience after friends after college, i want to start a business. the economy is not great right now for starting new businesses. as they see the narrative change and begin to see economic growth there will be a lot more room for young people to start businesses and get more confidence. david: james, you look at polls and see the millenials are biggest single voting group according to age right now and they vote two to one for democrats. there doesn't seem as of yet carryover to what happens in the economy to change of attitude. >> that's right. not just polls. look at results. alabama is kind of a special case but if you look at the virginia governor's race, high turnout among democrats and young people what was the obama coalition. so i think republicans have got to be concerned about that but i think now they have got a good argument for next fall. david: how do they make that argument? >> i think what has to h

right mark, i want to come back to that you know, joe, mark brought it up let's have at it is the obama economy in action here or the trump economy? >> well, you have to -- president obama gets credit for some of the movement that we've had. i mean, clearly the predecessor to this current president has to get some credit for the forward movement we've seen. but president trump's policies certainly have done a great deal -- tax reform if he's able to make word on it, that's a great thing for america and we hope to see that happen by the end of december. yeah that's the kind of thing that encourages businesses, that moves the stock market in the right direction. and i think it's another good sign that the economy is strong and getting stronger >> mark, i want to do one more political question here. i hope you can help me out because markets are at an all-time high, confidence is at an all-time high consumer confidence, business confidence out there how do democrats deal with that? how do they understand that all of a sudden obama left office and donald trump comes in and everybody's more confiden
