and walter mondale says i will raise your taxes. and then said he will raise your r taxes. if we continue that strong economic growth it is almost as big as the tax cut continuing to move forward and strengthen but to make everything you buy more expensive with pennsylvania indiana and ohio would just what you need for the electoral college when it is unwise of the democrats to take this approach. it is virtuous to tell the trut truth. >> one or two more calls before the house comes in democratic line. morning. >> i thought it was a good show when norquist started off the discussion with regard to the frivolous nature of attacks of imported goods but then the idea of tax policy. and then that $1 trillion that went into corporate and those taxpayers that all charge a minimum tax. how confusing is it believing that trump is for the middle class that 95 percent of the benefits. >> we will take your comment. . >> and what they said in 2017 and to be very unpopular but as you get closer there is a wonderful chart, got more and more popular and more people look to last year's tax

remember walter mondale who campaigned on raising taxes?about raising taxes, too. >> mr. reagan raised taxes and so will i. >> the first step is to reverse president trump's tax cuts. >> we'll reverse those tax cuts. >> we are going to end trump's tax cuts. >> he wants to do that to pay for biden. but you know who is going to lose here if bind does that? lower class and middle income, they will get hit bid a higher mandate. your take on that. >> all the progressives keep saying weeb, we'll tax the millionaires and billionaires. as for joe bidenned the unquestioned frontrunner. he has another problem. he calls himself a working class person who pushed for unions. he doesn't think china is an enemy and he's for tpp and nafta. liz: their big government plans will have to tax the middle class to pay for it. it looks like the house democrats getting ready to fire up the could be tempt cannon. and -- the contempt cannon. the debate next. oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no... only pay for what you need. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ my body is

he is old enough to her member walter -- to remember mondale. he was supposed to beat reagan in the polls. reagan was not very popular, it had not turned around yet, and then walter mondale said, i will raise your taxes, and the tax cuts kick in and reagan had both economic roads and running in his a guy who said speech he will raise your taxes. people believed him. reagan carried 49 states. if we continue the strong economic growth, tax cuts, and the deregulation process -- i think deregulation here is almost as big as the tax cuts and getting economic growth continuing to move forward and strengthening, but if the democrats are going to run, we are going to tax middle income people and make everything you buy more expensive, and shut down mines in pennsylvania and indiana and ohio, state that might have thought you could get an electoral college win -- it is unwise of the democrats to take this approach and thresh and -- threaten to tax the american people. or two more calls before the house comes in for the day. william in hillsboro, north ca

and if you look back to 1984, when in the first debate between walter mondale and ronald reagan, ronald was found wandering down highway 101 at the end of that debate and caused "the wall street journal" hardly a bastion to question his mental state but one profound memorable joke, turned the tide and reelected vice president of the united states. i don't count anybody out, and i give kamala harris great credit for her performance last night but sometimes, we overreact and overanalyze. this is a long race, not a sprint. >> there you go. remember that line, david gergen. a butcher, but i will not exploit your youth and inexperience for political gain and turned everything, can joe biden do that next month in the cnn debate? >> he hasn't found that magic key yet and a great sense of humor. walter mondale said as soon as that line came out of reagan's mouth, it was done, the election was over. >> let's say another thing too, poppy, this is really early. at this point in the 1992 cycle, i think bill clinton was at 10% and jerry brown was ahead and bill clinton was twice elected president of

former president jimmy carter and vice president walter back -- and his former vice president walter mondale were critical of president donald trump's record on civil rights. we also hear from jimmy carter's grandson, jason carter.

it was brilliant, it was successful, and it even made walter mondale laugh.t practiced on our side. it certainly was practiced very carefully on his side. with respect to the other, the quayle/benson, i was in the benson rehearsals and that was to a degree practiced and was ready. nobody expected dan quayle would throw that softball up there, but when he did, benson knocked it out of the park. let me make this point -- >> when you say nobody expected, how do you prepare for that? >> if you're dan quayle? you hopefully have somebody on your team who's going to tell you this might come your way if you say jfk. obviously that didn't happen. >> there's the role of moderators which we know around here, great colleagues doing this work. the questions that are teed up can also have a big impact on the debates and what the candidates sound like, what they're pressed on. let's look at this famous moment with dukakis. >> governor, if kitty dukakis were raped and murdered, would you favor an irrevocable death penalty for the killer? >> no, i don't, bernard, and i think

( laughter ) >> reporter: and sometimes, that need for a moment can turn bizarre. in 1972, when anti-poverty organizer ned coll ran for the democratic nomination, he tried to dramatize urban poverty by brandishing a rubber rat. a "momo ent" can a highly unwelcome, as when texas governor rick perry t 2011 forgotremember what federal agencies he wanted to abolish. >> the education... uh, the, uh...

>> i'm old enough to remember when ronald reagan in his first debate in 984 with walter mondale, he got cleaned. and he was able to bounce back and give a brilliance perform nants second debate and go on for reelection. in no way will i say the race is over. but there is no doubt there was blood on the floor and it was former vice president biden's blood. he's got a long way to climb back. if kamala harris or elizabeth warren becomes the nominee of the party, the most of telling moment was not the exchange between bind and kamala harris. but the fact that universally democrats said two critical things. they said they want to decriminalize and make a de facto open border for illegal aliens. and once they get here they want to provide them with full healthcare benefits. trish: you know what we'll wind up having? anybody who can will leave. that's what happened when hollande tried this with his 75% tax plan. ireland is trying to recruit americans to move over there right now. niger, i'm out of time. coming up, democratic candidate love talking spanish out there on the campaign trail. beto.

you can go all the way back to 1988 or 1984 with walter mondale when he was the vice president and the extremists then got him to contort his lifetime policies so that he embraced positions that took him out of the mainstream. this abortion position is an extreme one that he is embracing. it is not authentic and it just is a sign of many of the changes to come that we are going to see as he struggles to try to get the nomination. >> pete: this could be the first of many. leo, joe biden has long been pro-choice. within that stance he has had personal choice. i don't believe our tax dollars should be used to pray for abortion. that's fairly reasonable. the reversal now is it not moving toward an extreme position and why do folks like cory booker have to make it about race? >> well, i'll tell you simply. this isn't 1984, it's 2019. you have states like alabama, ga, that have made it impossible for people of color, poor people, to exercise their right to have an abortion. you can't get an abortion. and you talk about federal funding. it would be >> white women as well. there is no racial l

this was an investment in the global norm development of human rights that president carter and walter mondalemmitted to and acted on. this is significant. and what was happening at the same time was the human rights movement. international was given the nobel prize in 1977 during the carter administration. there was really an upsurge of a human rights movement. president carter and his administration injected that movement with energy, with moral support, morale. did, you thing he mentioned latin america, this sentur hemisphere, yet he pat derrian, the assistant secretary for human rights who was an amazing champion human rights, and i see some of her colleagues here they brought , that message to the dictatorships in latin america. in fact, pat threatened military support to argentina if the disappeared people, the thousands of disappeared people, did not reappear. and they did they reappeared , alive because of that threat of withholding military support. there is a professor in atlanta who came and told us that i was one of the 3000 that would have been dead if pat derrian hadn't gone down

>> no but also walter mondale was up 10 on reagan.nt clip. -- i like his chances and his odds. >> how much would you advise the president to talk to himself, his policies, and what he's done in the past and the future versus talking about joe biden? >> he actually has a talk about his accompaniments and that beyond the economy. he said start talking about where he wants to go on immigration, healthcare, his future goals. but he also has to remind people about the military. talking about joe biden is important because in politics it is all about framing your opponent before they can get their legs out from underneath them. assuming joe biden is the nominee. this is the most important time for trump to frame biden. >> he is trying to frame him a sleepy joe. >> it worked for barack obama in 2012. by the time mitt romney came the nominee he was known as a dog killer. >> we had to leave it there. we will see what happens i guess. ford o'connell, good to have you in. lou dobbs coming up next. lou: good evening everybody, the 2020 presidenti

look at when walter mondale was winning at this time, all those years ago.hey said look at where donald trump was in the polls at this time four years ago. don't pay attention to them. yet when elizabeth warren start creeping up the polls this week, i started hearing from them that they were shifting resources to elizabeth warren, to researching her background, to doing oppo on her. that's the type of poll that got her attention. the head-to-head polls against trump and the democrats, they said pay no attention to. but these polls, they've been looking at the democratic field and elizabeth warren's rise certainly got republicans' attention and people in the trump campaign's attention this week. >> eugene, there is another sidebar topic. i'm going to put the polling back on the screen. there are entire cable networks that talk about this stuff all day. these are three neat columns of numbers. on the left some numbers that are two digits. and then it drops off a cliff. you get about the yang maybe into de blasio, gabbert, inslee, you get about 1% center column

. >> but they are walter mondale democrats. >> a lot of people don't like him personally.at will generate a lot of -- they will have to live with the results. but that will generate a lot of get out the vote for democrats. for example, healthcare. i'm not blaming him, but he should put something on the table that excites people about healthcare. liz: he's signed an executive order to help pricing. >> that's a big step. but somehow get all those people who are self-employed who are not protected the way those of us are who work for big corporations. i think he can offer a little bit more forward looking. and he didn't do that the other night. he'll between now and next year. liz: how can the democrats run at undercutting the economy. >> now we are seeing the pushback. it's not all about the economy. there are values. of course, we have player scan value ofs. but how can they campaign against a good economy. >> they will run on the inequality thing. it's the most of insidious use of policy, and it's out there. but it's very effective. it's used all over latin america. it's a

ronald reagan trailing walter mondale significantly. george h.w.ocratic candidate yet to be named and it turned out to be bill clinton. bob dole reading bill clinton and republican candidate beating barack obama, none of which came to pass. mollie hemingway, senior editor at the federalist. you know, a lot of people say why do you make so much at the polls, why do you focus on it, you are so far away. the president is talking about it and people are obviously focusing on asking him about it. >> i think polls are worthwhile snapshots and they are only snapshots, good campaigns can, it's losing in certain states. when people in the trump world and, i have heard this repeatedly, they said the polls were wrong last year but they weren't wrong. the final polls were a real clear politics average showed hillary would win by 3.2 points. she won the popular vote by 2.1. they were off by 1.1 percentage points. now 2012 and president obama's race, they were up by 3.2. so they were even more accurate in 16 then they were in 12. so the polls are a worrisome sig

gary hart seemed poise to beat walter mondale. at the end of the went20034, ho dean was the guy while john kerry was sputtering. and 2007, remember this? rudy giuliani seemed a lock for the gop nomination. that, of course, was the same cycle where hillary clinton seemed destined for the democratic nomination, despite facing a challenge from a junior senator from illinois with a very hard to pronounce name. but nothing in the modern era compares to 2016, reminding us that the only thing we know for sure, we really don't know what's to come. joining me now, he's here to atone, mckay coppins, hey, put those emails back up on the screen where he refers to you as a combination of dumb, garbage, sleaze bag, third rate, yada, yada, yada. i think base you came on the tv show and we had fun at his expense. then i joined the list. put up on the screen what he said, saying cnn has wasted time and money, by theway, mr. president, not enough money. where did we go, mckay? >> it's funny looking at the tweets, it turns out that would become a re

more muscle than walter mondale blue or the author just died lord and that was one of life's most involved want to just watch what was just. want to just i just pulled him will get chills just talk or. want to tell the world. well don't you know uncle yells out all that quickly get. all of them one get the 12 that cannot or need to go on more of the case just which i'm. sure you. probably read through single media gives a flea. market. of more than just a friend. this was a little education dollars for. the military a prison. in canada. i saw them a strong national political you get to bustling in years to give me your name because i started to nationally school became. a shape as a believer mr bush both of us believe unitarian us. you know sort of took over you wouldn't sleep with bill and mr you still. are of course which is a state next year with mr. bush will cut loose leaf thank you because i should. pull it off by being objection whether there was a just. because i start a clock or i'd not put him there was that i was away for the upset when i'm drunk that the children should get a c

that famous first debate with reagan and walter mondale where reagan looked confused and not on top andent of the united states and the next debate he came there with his famous line, i'm not going to take advantage of my opponent's youth and inexperience and turned the whole thing around. biden did not have a line like that. >> bret: there were some lackluster lines from joe biden. ask what's the first thing you do in the oval office as president of the united states down the road. >> ending gun violence. >> passing a middle-class working families tax cut. >> a political revolution. >> the first thing i would do is make sure that we defeat donald trump. >> we've got to fix our democracy before it's too late that i'd pass a $1,000 freedom dividend for every american adult. >> my first call is the prime minister of new zealand, and you tell her, girlfriend, it's on. >> bret: his answer was defeat donald trump. you are president. >> i don't know whose answer is worse, his he is our williamso' answer. he's been at the top of the pole. the foothold for weeks not just nationally but in the k

. >> if you have walter mondale or john kerry or you want to be a winner. that is what joe biden and his team have to pay close attention to. >> joe biden has sort of approach the campaign, let's return to the policy, bernie sanders though is promising a political revolution. >> right, he also had bernie sanders supporters and the bernie sanders core they developed in 2016 there, they are very important in california and some key states, if you look at what has happened of the last 4 to 8 weeks, elizabeth warren has cut into that, bernie sanders has pushed back against her of the ideas to what degree does bernie sanders tonight go after biden and warren to serve as an alternative to grow the army? that as of and we should see, there is another candidate that presents an alternative to the vision and what happens, what does that look like moving forward? >> what you think about president trump? do you think bernie sanders and the other candidates are in fact just going to go into him nonstop tonight? or do you think as you mentioned, bernie is sort of going

emily, the last prominent democrat to promise tax hikes was walter mondale. well for him. >> didn't work out well. >> neil: what do you think? where is this going? >> hard work means nothing to these socialists. >> this will be very difficult for sanders to embrace all of these ideas when there's so much other competition in the field. we're seeing probably going to be a battle between him and vice president joe biden because biden is trying to take a middle ground approach. he's betting that most democratic voters are more moderate. there was a poll a couple months ago that said about half hoff the democratic voters consider themselves moderate or conservative. so that -- >> neil: that's a moving target. >> and most voters are independent. so that makes sense. it's going to be a tough road for bernie sanders and elizabeth warren because they're depending on a lot of young folks to come to the polls and vote for them. that may not happen. >> neil: a lot of things may or may not happen. >> and that's because of his record numbers in places like texas. >> polls

ronald reagan looked like a guy who had lost his intellectual balance in the first debate against walter mondale that the second debate, and as i recall he won 49 state states. so don't take one debate and necessarily right someone off. i think actually the democrat who may have done themselves the longest and deepest wound was when kamala harris raised her hand and said she would get rid of private insurance. >> harris: yeah, she had to walk that back, cleated up on the stage. that she thought it was her insurance. if you would allow me, because we are looking at this life. i don't know if you can see from where you are sitting, but that's joe biden in the center of the screen pair that's the reverend jesse jackson left his right shoulder. this is the rainbow coalition push events that joe biden is getting ready to speak. kamala harris did land some blows on him last night about -- >> no question. >> harris: segregationists, and it did seem to point to the fact, are you too out of touch to talk about race and culture in 2019 versus your example of 1973? i'm paraphrasing her arguments. but these

well, that's when walter mondale smacked him down. >> when i hear your new ideas, i'm reminded of thatwhere's the beef? >> and with that, mondale stopped hart's momentum and won the nomination only to go on to lose 49 states to reagan. fast forward to 1992, bill clinton versus jerry brown. a baby boom grudge match between two of the youngest governors in the country. but one jab went a little too far for bubba. >> he is funneling money to his wife's law firm. >> you ought to be ashamed for jumping on my wife. you're not worthy of being on the same platform as my wife. >> brown's campaign never really recovered. he went on to have a strong second stint as california's governor. in 2008 it was hillary clinton versus barack obama. when clinton was asked whether she was likable, the kind of question male candidates never get, she tried to laugh it off. but obama couldn't resist this dig. >> i don't think i'm that bad. >> you're likable enough, hillary. >> thank you. >> now, voters paid him back for that unlikable comment with a loss a new hampshire a few days later. finally in ae reminder

gallup polls that his reelection campaigns, a june -- that happened in june, as it is now pre1983, walter mondale. 49 to reagan's 39. we know how that turned out. >> kennedy: president mondale, bill was [laughter] >> melissa: president bush -- bob dole 48% to clinton 44%, that was in 1995. and in 2011, 44% to barack obama, 39%. this isn't an exhaustive list, it's just some that we pulled. what do you think? >> charlie: it's fun to pick through, but at the end of the day polls are meaningless this early out. i think the big question a lot of people have or had was that donald trump won as this outsider, marauding the gates of washington and going in to sort of turned the place upside down. now that he's president, he's not on the outside anymore. he is running less of a marauder's campaign. would he still be able to tap into that level of enthusiasm? you look at these images, i don't see how you can say anything other than he still has that kind of enthusiasm. >> kennedy: i think any democrat in the field would love to have the visual of that many people waiting eight hours until the rally begins,

faltered in one of these debates where he looked too old to be president in his first debate against walter mondale. "the wall street journal" in their news pages said this guy may be losing it. >> right. that fight could open up the door. because you've got so much, so little space. i got to introduce myself. i got to lay out my policy. oh, then i got to decide if i'm going after biden or sanders. >> you have to answer the fricking questions. now, that would be nice. >> the philosophical divides in terms of biden's strain of moderation and his general philosophy that, by the way, got him in trouble by invoking the wrong names, but he was trying to make the point that you've got to work together. we still need 60 votes in the senate. you're going to see that challenged from a lot of the stage that is full of progressives that don't agree with that. >> let's talk to jaime about south carolina. we're used to this sort of white people's primary system that has been going on for really too long. i can see your smile. i mean, we go to iowa. okay, i get it. we go to new hampshire with maybe 500 minority
