and to paraphrase the great late tim russell, suburbia, suburbia, suburbia.pening in the suburbs. the republican party has lost and continues to lose ground in that space. that was always the sanctuary because they couldn't win the cities, we didn't win the baltimore and the los angeles and the philadelphias, so we could always play in the suburbs, we could rally that vote. and what you've begun to see which actually has been trending for quite some time in places like wisconsin and elsewhere, the dems are moving effectively into that space. they're making arguments on health care and so the politics of trump rallies the base and stirs the passions, but it doesn't necessarily translate into -- >> i agree with you ability the number. i think we agree the suburberize going blue. i have another thing because i do think women are especially disturbed by indecency. maybe that's the way i was brought up. the indecency of this guy, the bad language, racial language, making fun of people's looks, handicaps, he never stops behaving the way you teach your kids not to b

someone who is personally engaged with the struggle to revitalize those postwar cities when mass suburbia was booming the way to frame the book and engage readers and what i thought was an important story. consequently we became attracted to the new challenge to put in the power at the center of my book and as i was writing history from the top down with the analysis that social historians have with the importance of social identities with race and ethnicity in professions perk when my previous book the politics of mass consumption i wrote a rather - - wrote about the rise of mass suburbia. and then the landscape of mass construction of new housing developments and the rise of sharp shopping centers and the intersection with the highway. so i surmise and then they are displaced. in what became saving america's cities with that decentralization for what it actually meant for cities. with that odorous - - older established ones. and now in this post world war ii. and how postwar cities had developed essentially dismissing all efforts with the disastrous urban renewal. that seem to equate al

i am plied that cities were being displaced by suburbia. that was not really what my subject was. i set up to write what became saving american cities. i wanted to understand better what this decentralization of these areas actually meant for cities. particularly, the older established ones that survived from the 19th century and into the early 20th century, but were were now post-world war ii. i also felt from the start that we had illuminated how postwar american cities were. they, essentially, on dismissing urban redevelopment as urban renewal. that assumption seem to equate all intervention in cities with the work of villains like the notorious. in contrast, the ideal postwar cities was thought to be articulated by the more saintly jacobs with her message of anti-planning, hands-off, let neighborhood densities develop organically on their own. surely i thought that the story must be more complicated than the clash of these two very extreme and caricature positions. i certainly knew that from the late 1940s into the 1970s had some quite steep things. excessive dislocation of pr

consumer's republic of politics of mass consumption in postwar america, i've written about mass suburbia is increasingly important in a residence or work and commerce after world war ii. there i explored when i called the landscape of mass consumption. the carving of new housing department out of firms and the rise of shopping centers in the new highway intersections. in that book i implied that cities were being displaced by suburbia but that was it really what my subject was so i set out to write saving american cities. i wanted to understand better what this the socialization of america area actually meant for cities. particularly the older established ones that drive with industrialization and immigration in the 19th century an early 20th century. i also felt from the start that we have a limited fairly simplistic understanding of how postwar american cities developed. they essentially aren't dismissing all efforts of re- development of disaster removal. that assumption seems to equate all interventions into cities with the work of billings like the notorious robert. in contrast, the

if you ask why they are losing, because it is suburbia if you can't win the suburbs, you don't have aon and i'm concerned why can't they make an argument to suburban voters. these are middle class families that care about health care, education and increasingly gun violence. these are three issues that the republicans have no answers for. they're not even having a conversation about it. and they're getting wiped out. >> what the republican answer is, we're going to fake aw -- going to take away your health care with pre-existing conditions and let donald trump run wild so you kid can't watch the news. we heard that in 2018 and seeing it now as of yesterday that again suburban voters are the ones saying i'm tired of the meanness, i don't like that and i guess for them the question in 2020 will be if you think you're doing better like is your 401(k) better is it worth it for four more years you don't like to keep your 401(k), but the thing most interesting from the democratic perspective was the size of the turnout in kentucky the biggest in a governor's race since 1985 and that is impo

it's a suburb of denver that, like all of suburbia, really expanded after world war ii because of they boom. and speaking of babies, every parent, including me, knows the frustration of trying to get your little one to smile at just the right moment for just the right photo. well, we're about to tell the story of a woman who turned that challenge into an art form. >> my name is lynda bannister. when my mother, constance, passed away in 2005, she left me more more than 100,000 baby photos. she was the most accomplished baby photographer of her day. >> hi, lynda. i'm jamie. >> hi, jamie. nice to meet you. >> nice to meet you, too. you wrote me about your mom and something about babies. >> yes. >> are they here? >> yes, they are. please come in. >> okay. >> inside lynda's house is her strange inheritance left to her by her mother, baby photographer constance bannister. >> you've basically put together a museum all about your mom and all these babies. >> in total, there are more than 100,000 baby pictures -- yes, 100,000 photos. >> there are many files full of negatives. >> all negatives?

how that plays out the calls in the next few hours- see security will be tight suburbia a big sort of the just sickle. movovement that which we actually saw when he was imprisoned. in the first place you know we have helicopters and also. make one last year when he actually was- sent to jail so. so yes i mean sunday local alone references to his id times in his is only part of. the tool crib. as well as to his dignity honesty and he said that nothing can keep him down. and it certainly sounds like he intends to stay relevant in politics. in fact in his first tweets from his official twitter account was it was it and some of the things here the former president hitting the gym and running to the song on the tigris so yes will officially you may not be allowed to run for office- he's actually bald from doing so. he's released many say reading we write another chapter in in brazil's finish school history it will as we've seen from the footage that you just shared reenter than that it will remind millions of coals why they voted for current president diables and all right you know. nothin

balance the reason why markets are in the sun accountant is because it's the closest place in busier suburbia to the 1st single country where people can go to. slovenia and so i'm hopeful not a generation ago who has identified 2 new sites one towns and never one johnson. has not had access to those sites to get how many people could be accommodated there in. well fast but it may be to start with a solution that would only one hand you trace or improve the situation of like it's an innocent jensen the ones that living outside doing wishing. it could also use the patient in the local population there to have migrants accommodated elsewhere not just innocent johnson which is particularly important with the upcoming winter where you see that's the movements it's going to integration will slow down because people have to get through the hills which really comes know in people be stuck in mostly it's going to flow into. paperweight we describe the conditions in the vote joke camp a state that's an unofficial camp the i.o.m. runs 2 of them what are conditions like in the official camps in bosnia so

he would disarm suburbia tomorrow.ow he is telling you it was immoral for him to the nypd to take thousands of illegal firearms off the street of new york. this is confusing. what is the reasoning? there isn't any. policies like these and they are popular now from allowing drug addicts to shoot up on the subway, these policies only make sense when you understand the bigotry of the left. they despies normal people. law-abiding americans enrage them. their sympathies are with the destroys. bernie kerik was a police commissioner for new york city. did you ever think having presided over the greatest drop in american history there would come a point where politicians would apologize for being part of that drop? >> well, it is the apology tour. when you run for president, that's what you do. i think it's disturbing. especially for me. i was not only the police commissioner of new york city. when i started out as a cop in times square, i was in uniform and went to plain clothes. i was in an anti-crime unit and your basic job

communities, black communities are affected by illegal immigration because they're not being resettled in suburbiaosi's communities. the biggest impact is on the black community and people are noticing that. you want to stop that or keep winning. >> it can be a really stark choice because as you were saying earlier, the positions on this issue go so far to the left, now they're talking about decriminalizing illegal immigration. the whole thing is crazy. it will be a big issue. frightening details of how the loony left are trying to indoctrinate our children at sc ♪ applebee's new sizzlin' entrées. now starting at $9.99.

so that's going to have an impact again in suburbia. republicans have a problem with suburbia.cky. but for the independent, who ran, a libertarian, he siphoned off 2% of the vote. but for that siphoning off, bevin would have -- stuart: you think the libertarian took the votes away from bevin? >> no question about it. now the recount. or recanvassing. kentucky as of right, you can't have a recount. you have to go to court. you have to prove that a recount is necessary. now, what i'm doing is huddling with lawyers, huddling with political people to understand where the votes could come from. you have to be pragmatic because the courts are going to be the ultimate arbiter in this case of whether you are entitled, but let's say kentucky -- stuart: you going to press for a review or recount, whatever you want to call it? you going to do that? >> it all depends on what the political people tell me as to where are votes likely to come from. he should not be engaged as a sitting governor on a fool's errand. if you lose, you lose. all the down ballot candidates won handily. this isn't a

but here is where that battle for suburbia, we saw in the congressional elections in 2018, democratsseats in virginia because of this inroads they've made into this traditional republican territory in american politics, the suburbs, that had been trending to the democrats. we saw virginia since barack obama became the first democrat to win it from 1964 onward, i believe, in 2008 become a more blue state, purplish, leaning blue, if you will. this is is an opportunity for democrats to make some inroads at the state legislative level which is where a lot of important stuff takes place. it determines the maps of how congressional seats are drawn. >> in virginia, david, the only thing that's a win for democrats in this case would be a win, correct? >> totally. no doubt. they are on the precipice of victory there. if they fall short, every 2020 democrat, all those presidential contenders have gone into virginia, put their muscle into this. if they come up short, that will be a big, sore loss for democrats. >> david chalian, thank you for previewing all of that. here's what else to watch to

republican losses in suburbia and kentucky. >> it sends a bad message, you can't let that happen to me>> suggests last year's blue wave isn't going away and the bloomberg bombshell, democrats worry about the strength of the contenders. >> a lot of people are afraid of big structural change. >> the way to approach politics today to get these done is not to question people's motives. >> michael bloomberg prepares to enter the race. i'll talk to a man many democrats want to run instead, senator sheriff brown of ohio. joining me for insight and analysis nbc news white house correspondent halle jackson, hugh hewitt, yamiche alcindor and washington post columnist david. welcome to sunday, it's "meet the press." >>> good sunday morning. president trump finds himself facing pressure on two fronts. on impeachment, a growing number of witnesses testifying before congress have confirmed that military aid was being with held until ukraine agreed to announce investigations into president trump's rivals and confirmation that yes, the ukrainians did know a quid pro quo existed and testifying will hap

it's mostly in the suburbs, around richmond and norfolk, outside of dc, getting a lot more liberal suburbiaicans have clung to one seat holds in the senate. it's going to be very hard for them to hold onto that. so it would be one of those things, i think the bigger surprise would be if they do manage to do that, they've been trying to cater their message, change their focus to appeal more to the suburban voters. it's going to be a slog. paul: that's a big change if virgos totally blue, james, without he question. i mean, never mind the presidential but for the future. they'll gerrymander the heck out of that if they run the house and the senate and have that type of governorship. let he me ask you about the race in seattle where the city council did impose a head tax of $250 per hired employee on big companies. you know who that was aimed at. amazon. then they repealed it within a few days but now amazon is spending big with a lot of the rest of the businesses out there to try to turn -- to try to depose the -- let's face it the socialist city counselors who voted for this with merely libe

he would disarm suburbia tomorrow if you could come up less well america. yet now he's telling her it was immoral for him to allow his own police department at the nypd to take thousands of illegal firearms off the streets of new york. this iss confusing as hell. what's the reasoning here? there isn't any. policies like these, and many of them, popular now from allowing drug addicts to shoot up on the subway to coddling vagrants as the squad on the sidewalk outside her house. these policies only make sense when you understand and affect was the bigotry of the left. what the bigotry? well, they despise normal peopl people. law-abiding middle-class americans enrage them. if it makes your life better in some measurable way, they are opposed to it. sympathies are entirely entirely with the destroyers. bernie kerik was once the police commissioner of new york city. he seen the whole thing. from the 70s to present and he joins us time. mr. -caret thank you very much for coming on. did you ever think having a part presided over the single greatest drop in crime in

that is some of the biggest news coming out in suburbia that the democrats took control.gest counties here in the commonwealth of virginia. i think for a lot of folks, we got medicaid expansion done in 2017. they've seen donald trump try and roll back obamacare and parts and elements of it. they didn't like that here in the commonwealth of virginia. so this was an astounding victory as i say. the first time since 1993. but now we've got to lead. we're going to raise the minimum wage. we're going to have environmental policies that make sure we protect our air and water. so this is a big, big win as i say first time in 26 years. but if you look deep in virginia, what we were able to do at the county level and win at the local level, if i remember a republican i'd be very scared. i think donald trump was humiliated last night losing the kentucky governorship. a state he won by 30 points. >> you've crossed borders there. you've stepped into scott's territory there. >> scott, your response to whether or not you feel very -- >> tried to be national. >> go ahead, scott. >> sure

they are buyers if they have money, they don't necessarily need the house that is 20,000 feet, and suburbiager tips i have called calls from developers they are working on smart cities you think city they said, all along oh, millennials only want to life in the cities when 25 and 30 you want to live in the city but 35, because they got married later had children later, and you have two children, and ub want a thousand square feet apartment in city look at suburbs a lit i think suburbs i tell -- if you are going to work with communities, and they have to stay open later you are going to see a lot of -- revised what i call plans, communities that you see all over the country, but just kind of a spin on it for today. i think that, you know, there is in that same article that they say that oh they will have so much debt won't be able to afford anything their buying you know what? i lived through recession of 90s, 19% interest rates i bought refi unanimoused. >> mortgage rates following 19%, 30 year if i could, about 3.66% lowest in six weeks 15 year fix 3.15% existing home sales increased not a

able to be competitive in some of their bread and butter areas from elections past particularly suburbia where the current iteration of the republican party under president trump is struggling with a lot of particularly i would say heavily white college educated voters. used to be republicans base and now not so much. >> bill: i was looking at some of this analysis so far. it appears to me the liberals voted in lexington and louisville which helped the democrat here. the northern counties around cincinnati you are exactly right. they swung 6 to 7 points from where they were the last time bevin won in 2015. keep an eye on that. overall here is what the president said about it. won five out of six elections in kentucky. five great candidates i introduced last night. bevin picked up 15 points in the last days. perhaps not enough. fake news will blame trump. on the heels of that here is the campaign statement. the president just about dragged governor matt bevin across the finish line. a final outcome remains to be seen. chew on that and was the problem bevin or was it something else? >> wel
