Really read it, all of it and get through it. it is so dense. and youre reporting is so original. let me start with a very basic question. how is it a cultural democrat from new york was able to walk in and take the keys of the republican party and drive away? what do the old timers say allowed that? >> its a really good question. i think it actually goes back to one of the passages you were just reading which is to say that trump i think was quite presiant in identifying that at a core visceral...

In and take the keys of the republican party and drive away? what do the old timers say allowed that? >> its a really good question. i think it actually goes back to one of the passages you were just reading which is to say that trump i think was quite presiant in identifying that at a core visceral gut level, these cultural issues were really driving the republican base much more than were the policy issues. so, in other words, in 2010, we all remember the tea party wave came crashing over wash...

Most democrats, regard as noxious, theyll be in trouble. play to your strength, mr. president. youve done a lot. you have only spoken about a third or half of what youve done. stick to that. push them on the policy issues. point out what the leading candidates for the democrat nomination stand for and thats a winner. thats a 45-state winner. >> bill: another rally in cincinnati ohio coming up in a few days. thanks for coming back today. 27 past. fox news alert. jeffy epstein is back before a jud...

Scotland or northern ireland. nobody would think of that because theyre white. >> thats right. >> its so obvious. >> its so obvious, and whats so disappointing is you look at the presidents language. you look at his policies. this is clearly racism, and that was an opportunity for everyone to stand up and say enough is enough. we need to move forward on a whole range of important policy issues. weve passed 230 pieces of legislation that are sitting on mitch mcconnells desk. we have lots of work ...

Democrats, these progressives based on their politics and ideas. i said, does this undercut your effort to betray them that way and criticize their policy position and their points of view when the president says something that many interpret to be over the line? both of them basically said yes. he said i would rather address the policy issues and kevin mccarthys at any time you inject personality into it it makes it harder. in some respects despite be a scenario where even though a lot of peopl...

This president does know how to make the argument that americans do deserve health care. he does not know how to defend his policies. so what he does is attack us personally. >> despite everything that we have seen from this president, there remains a large contingent of the party that seems to believe they can work with trump and republicans on policy issues. the challenge here is that part of the party is looking backwards and another part said that era is actually over. lets talk about this w...
