Mediocre jobs they didnt sign up for. its working for corporate american so continuing to hone in on that message and focus on what the democrats would do if they full control of the congress and the white house, but you have to stay steady on this message because as we know, mika, its a poll and poll, time after time has shown that americans are not feeling this positive economy that we have right now. so you couple that with going in to a recession or at least starting to feel the initial effe...

Know, a lot of uncertainty among investors, the global economy at large seems to be shrinking down a little bit. and then, of course, you have to look at the fact the fed lowered interest rates for the first time in over a decade. just a number of factors. focussing on china being the reason why farmers are hurting and why possibly u.s. consumers are hurting is a little bit narrow. >> so listen to how the presidents democratic rivals might be capitalizing on all of this anxiety. >> i think nafta...

Politics from. >> and helped him get into studio 54. >> thats true. i forgot that important bit. thank you. >> in the league with those folks. >> no, no, its good. look, he is decided as i said there is no cost. its basically cost free for him to do this and as we know, look, stoking anti muslim sentiment has been a hallmark of his campaign from 2016. he actually continued it with the travel ban. he did it less so in his rhetoric. he said to you in the interviews he gave from 2016, i think islam...
