Laura Ingraham shines a spotlight on everyday Americans and examines how their lives are affected by politics at the federal, state and local level. Recidivism. We want to decrease it if we can. And its an issue that the president is desperately trying to get to yes on and it might also have the added benefit of helping with some of those discontented voters who are on the fence as well. Finally, mr. President , dont ignore the right Track Reading at the top. As the Washington Post wrote ahead of the 2016 election, the nations mood is intrinsically important, providing a basic gauge of how americans think the country is doing and whether people are more optimistic or pessimistic than in the past. President s can succeed or fail regardless of the publics mood, but the publics overall outlook sets the stage for political debate. Sets the stage for political debate. That final line is most important for trump and republicans. Yoout that use that data point. Draft off the economic success. Be positive about americas current economic standings. Its a great time to be an american. America, we have problems but my goodness, other than the early years of reagan, i cant think of a better economy. Set the terms of the debate yourself. Do not be defined by others. We are already on the right track, mr. President. All you need to do now is not let the wrong track get you sidetracked. And that is the angle. Joining us now with the reaction is garland nixon, a radio talk show host. Matt schlapp, American Conservative Union chair, and candace owens, of Turning Point usa. Garland. Your react . Initially, and i predicted trump would win. Heres what i will say. I think the republicans will have some losses. They will definitely have losses in the midterm because it is kind of like yelp reviews. The people who are happy tend to mellow out and the people who are really angry are the most motivated. Those are the ones that are going to show up and the democrats are definitely going to have an advantage as far as people who show up at the polls, the question is how much. Laura some of the trends in
the last election, in the 12th district of ohio, yeah, pull out a victory may be barely by the skin of his teeth. The turnout for democrats was very strong. Youre right. Laura it was stronger, i believe than the president ial turnout in the same district where trump won big. His Approval Rating is high. You can say that candidate made mistakes. A couple of verbal gaffes that were really unfortunate. Does it portend other problems . Theyre jacked up. I dont blame the democrats. We were excited in 2010. Theyre excited now. I think the right track, wrong track is important. Lets look at what happened in the special election. Youre exactly right. In the last week or ten days, his lead collapse. He said some stupid things. He might need to go to candidate Training School which a lot of candidates need to do. It also shows the motivation and the energy is definitely on the left. For Trump Supporters out there in the country, what they have to understand is the house is very losable. And they cant be cavalier about this idea that i am for trump
and i will skip the midterm. If they do, the house could be lost. If it is lost, so much of the trump agenda stops. Laura the president addressed the issue of chicago and he talked about how it is so important that have good leadership, deliver results for people on the ground. Should he go to chicago . Absolutely. Laura tell us your thoughts. Some republicans say it will be a disaster. He was going to go during the campaign and they had to call about because of protests. Could he go, listen to the people in the ground in chicago and hear what they have to say . Now is absolutely the time frame to make an appearance in chicago. First and foremost, i want to thank you for this coverage of last weekend. You did so much coverage from chicago. I didnt see it across the networks but i saw it on your show. Such an important issue that is facing the Black Community. That is not spoken enough about. He should send the National Guard to chicago. Its unbelievable, incompetence thinking that 71 people were shot over the weekend and they
havent even caught anyone for these crimes. Its the perfect time. Polling is up in the Black Community. The rasmussen poll two weeks ago said his support doubled since this time last year which means black people are paying attention to the results of this administration, not so much the rhetoric of the left, accusing him of racism and sexism at every turn. Now the time for him to appear in chicago. President , please do it. Laura we had obama do my brothers keeper initiative. We had al sharpton moved there temporarily. There werent you had a murder rate declined but thats only after the really high average of the last few years. Something has to be done in chicago. I completely agree with candace. Lets talk about the democrats. The republicans have head winds but its not peachy in the democrat side, either. This was the new it girl for socialism, alexandria ocasiocortez who said this yesterday when she was asked by chris cuomo about whether nancy pelosi is really the leader of the party or will be. Lets watch. Do you recognize her as the leader . I think absolutely right now. She is the leader. Of i mean, yeah speaker or leader pelosi, hopefully, will see shes the current leader of the party and i think the party absolutely does have its leadership in the house. We have our leadership in the senate as well. Laura i think she was more favorable to capitalism the other day and her comments. Than to nancy pelosi. Whats going on with this revulsion toward nancy pelosi . The democrats have been losing for the last eight years and its not unreasonable to question the people of lead them to little big horn. Laura also got a lot done as speaker. They did obamacare. They push the big stimulus. The other issue with her is that the Democratic Party has understand that their millennial base, which will be the largest voting bloc in 2018 and 2020,
they have a different concept. They werent around for the soviet union. The word socialism, words like that. It doesnt mean anything to them. Theyre listening to policy. The Democratic Party needs to understand that because if they get the Millennial Vote out, they are in really good shape. If they continue doing what they are doing, and they dont engage the Millennial Vote and understand, they just beat them up and say the midterm isnt about millennials. Republicans have faults, of course. The best thing republicans have going for them is when people see their dead center Heart And Soul of the Democratic Party and its radical and its left and its social. Laura they are going to shut down deportation. Candace, this was Anderson Cooper with spike lee. Lets watch. Would you want to sit down with donald trump and have a conversation . No. I dont use his name either. Agent orange. Do you consider him your president . No. Might be putin. Laura candace. Heres what i will say about that network. What they do all the time is employ black athletes and black stars. We saw this we will brown james the other week. Its a mechanism of control of the Black Community. They say i found some of your idols, people who are prominent in your community and they are saying they hate trump and they are hoping theyre going to be able to drum up the heat. It hasnt been successful. This isnt work. They need to switch strategies altogether. As i said, its not going to matter if they keep doing this. They can bring out any black person they want thats going to speak out against trump. The black Community Cares at this moment about results and we are getting the results that we have finally weve been begging for these results. We are finally seeing them. Black unemployment at an alltime low. There are jobs. Spike lee, cnn, it makes sense but its not coming im too concerned about. Its not going to impact the black vote. Laura i cant imagine what the left would do, what democrats would say if someone said something again to what he
just said about President Trump. He called him agent orange. He wont use his name. They went after that joe wilson from screaming you lie during the state of the union. They crucified joe wilson. Agent orange . An athlete went on television and called him, hes not my president . Not treated like. That there would be a follow up. What about unemployment . What about the fact that democratic led cities are coming with crime and gang violence. What about the fact that his numbers among black people have gone up . Theyd hit him with all these things if the shoe was on the other foot. You dont speak like that. I know you wouldnt speak like that. I understand. For eight years, i heard that. There was a big not my president kind of movement. Laura never would i never say that. I would never say that. Someone as prominent as spike lee who was such a talented filmmaker. His wife was in my class at uva law school. Shes a lovely person. I think what it reflects, its not good for the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party, one angle is to get your people so angry to try to get them to show up. Laura what are they angry about . What are the democrats angry about except pelosi . What they need to do is they need to develop a platform that is attractive to the working class. They may have some success in 2018 with what they are doing because people are upset, but 2020 is a whole different story. If they dont get a platform together then, then theyre toast. Laura this is one of the two socialists approved candidates who ocasiocortez endorsed who won the other night, michigan congressional candidate. Lets watch. When you are elected formally in november, you will have a vote as part of the Democratic Caucus as to who will be the next leader, whether it be Minority Leader or speaker of
the house. Will you vote for nancy pelosi . Probably not. Thats my answer. No, probably not. Laura so the party moves kind of hard left. Nancy pelosi is no conservative democrat. If they pick up a lot of seats, there is no question shes going to have competition. Think about this. Nancy pelosi is one of the most unpopular politicians weve seen in the modern age. It could be nancy pelosi or worse. Laura republicans clean house. Republicans got tired of john boehner. The republicans got tired of boehner. They got tired of him, god bless him. Hes now lobbying for pot. They got tired of him and hes gone. So what if the democrats want to get rid of pelosi . Its probably smart. We are seeing a split in the Democratic Party. Were seeing people like nancy pelosi and maxine waters, they
are just driven by hate and animosity for this president. People like alexandria ocasiocortez, i dont think she is driven by hate. I think she believes this platform could work, that socialism could work. The hard left, they are driven by lack of understanding for mathematics and the utopian concept for the world might work. Unfortunately, its going to be problematic for them if they can figure out and get this party together, just the people that hate trump versus the people who dont understand math. Its going to be externally problematic for them heading into the midterms must im interested to see was going to take place. Laura candace, have you been attacked at breakfast lately . What were you eating, candace . That got them all upset . Pancakes . I had chicken and waffles. It was a really good meal. Whats really funny, the manager said, i thought for a moment that outside there were vegan protests to my chick en and waffles. Laura i think by the looks of the protesters, you could have taken most of them. No problem. Great panel, guys. I love having you on. It sounds like common sense. Permanently deploy more police in chicago and its most ravaged areas. That new pushes sparking a huge uproar in the windy city. Details after this. A huge uproar in the windy city. Residents are Locking Horns over a solution about how to stop it. One chicago alderman, Anthony Beale from the far south side is leading the charge on what sounds like a common sense solution. Permanently reassigning officers to the citys most gaining gangravaged areas. But the proposal is generating huge blowback. Why . Over fears that it could generate a surge in crime in some of the safer districts of chicago. But is this just another excuse to avoid badly needed radical solutions to stop this carnage. To stop this carnage . Joining us now to analyze is the cochair of project 21, along with anthony, a criminal defense attorney. Neither of you are with me in the studio. Well have to deal with that. I wish you were here. Lets start with you, anthony. Something has to be done in chicago. The residents are crying out for solutions. This is one resident. Well play her first excuse
me, this is a young man. This is one resident today talking with charlie kirk. Lets watch. Taking care of certain parts of town as they should. They are taking care of downtown. They take care of the north side. South and west sides are left. Laura he was young to me. But he said, you basically take care of the rich areas but basically our areas arent getting help. We have a lot of police being reassigned today through the weekend these bad areas. What about the idea of permanently reassigning officers to the worst of the worst areas . Why is that controversial . Well, i think its controversial, laura, because what we have been a lot of high policed areas or areas that are police, particularly communities of africanamerican and hispanics, we have over policing where a lot of innocent people end up getting tagged or pulled aside or stopped
unconstitutionally against their Fourth Amendment rights. Remember, ive represented gang members in l. A. I represented gang members who, and they have a whole community afraid of them. So what we dont need is Police Coming in, doubling the fear if its not going to be strategically placed and constitutional provisions are not going to be there. There is nothing wrong with permanent policing, but it needs to be constitutional provisions to protect the 98 of the community that is not causing the trouble. Laura the problem is a small percentage of people are turning those areas upside down. The carnage over the weekend was unacceptable. Horace, theres great concern in the Black Community about aggressive policing that turns innocent people into feeling like criminals. And these comments are heart felt. Theyre made. You hear them over and over and over again. Yet residents of the south and west sides of chicago, on camera over the last several days, saying we need help. Theres two competing views. Where you come down . These people are living literally in war zones. It is unbelievable that the conversation is being held that grandma cant go and get her prescription filled. Her granddaughter cant get to School Without a driveby shooting. That jobs wont locate in those communities, perpetuating poverty because investors will not go where there is this elevated level of crime. What you need is a common sense idea, the same thing that happens when you are on the interstate, when the officer puts his car prominently on the side of the road, all of a
sudden, everybody slows down, even people who are lawabiding take notice. What we need to do is have an elevated presence of Law Enforcement in these communities. It doesnt need to be for a weekend. It doesnt need to be for a few weeks. It needs to be a year, two or three if necessary. Thats the way that you can make it safer, and thats the way that this War Zone Mentality can go away. Laura this is what donald trump hold on. Were going to play a sound bite from President Trump. This was today addressing issues such as prison reform. They touched on Sentencing Reform and chicago. Lets watch. We must strengthen Community Bonds with Law Enforcement including cities like chicago that have been an absolute and total disaster. 63 incidents last weekend and 12 deaths. Thats bad stuff happening. Probably i guess you have to take from the leadership. Its called bad leadership. There is no reason in a million years that Something Like that should be happening in chicago. Laura anthony, he is obviously dinging Rahm Emanuels leadership in chicago. Given your background, do you think rahm emanuel has done a good job . No, i dont. I think rahm emanuel has done a horrible job. Thats not really the point. I want to ask horace, does he really think with the statistics we have, where africanamericans are pulled over more without reasonable cause or without probable cause or where they are arrested more often or where they are sentenced harsher. With all of these statistics, do you really want a Permanent Police force there thats not strategic and thats not following Fourth Amendment rules . What are you going to do to make sure those rules are set . That Fourth Amendment reasonable standard that the founders put in there will be followed . I think its very important. You can hide behind the Fourth Amendment all you want. Here are the facts. Black americans, particularly in chicago, are dying as a result of the failure of Law Enforcement to be welcomed in and to let them play the role they are capable of doing.
