According to the uber liberal New York TimesDonald Trumps keynote address last week was designed to terrify voters the irresponsible rhetoric of our president who has used the pulpit of the presidency that divide us by race and color has made america a more dangerous environment than, frankly, i have ever seen. The problems we face now, poverty and violence at home, war and destruction abroad, will last only as long as we continue relying on the same politicians who created them in the first place. President obama does not buy mr. Trumps observations. He paints optimistic picture. Its also important for the American People to remember that our crime rate in this country is much lower than it was in the 80s or the 90s or when i first took office. That immigration rates are substantially lower than they were when Ronald Reagan was president. That as serious as these terrorist attacks are. The fact of the matter is that the American People are significantly more safe now than they were before all the work that we have done since 9 11. Talking points is in business to put forth the truth. So here it is. According to an average of polling by real clear politics, 69 of americans are unhappy with the direction of their country. Just 23 are pleased with the present condition of the u. S. A. That is a direct repudiation of president obamas point of view. Because, if were all safer as he says, and the economy is fine, why would the folks feel the country is on the wrong stack . Why . The perception problem is two fold. Americans believe that a stagnant economy is making it very difficult for workers to increase their salaries, and thats true. Majority of americans also believe that disorder disorder both at home and around the world is putting them in danger. Donald trump has cap at that pointized on those sentiments saying he will make things better. Hillary clinton seems to mostly support president obamas vision but does acknowledge the economic problem. I want an economy that gets back to raising incomes for everybody. Most americans havent had a raise. I want an economy that is going to help lift millions of people out poverty because given the Great Recession we have fallen back in the wrong direction. But the Great Recession was nearly nine years ago. I mean, come on. By this time American Economic engine should be roaring. Instead growth this year estimated to be below 2 . Thats dismal. Now, there are three new polls in the trump clinton race. Cnn has it 48 45 bounce. So he got a bounce according to cnn. Cbs has 44 43 a tie. And l. A. Times has 45 to 41 over clinton. If the election were held today he might very well win. However, to be fair, perhaps Hillary Clinton will get a bounce out of her convention this week. Now, back to the problems. Higher taxes and massive Income Redistribution will not stimulate the economy. So mrs. Clinton is going to have to deal with that and separate herself from the obama machine or run on the economy we have now. Many in the Democratic Party support open borders that means the consequences. Drug importation, illegal aliens, higher competition for will they not . It will be interesting to see if any democrat puts forth a specific solution to deal with ilLegal Immigration this week. On the foreign front obamas decision to pull all the troops out of iraq directly led to the rise in isis. Allowed the savages to expand their influence. Mr. Obamas failure to destroy Assads Air Force in syria, when he could have, after drawing that red line over poison gas has directly led to millions of refugees storming into europe that crisis has profoundly damaged the region and perhaps even stimulated Great Britain leaving the european union. President obamas failure to confront putin in russia has directly led to chaos in ukraine and eastern criewrp. The your honorrian unique deal has replaced the mullahs. Debacle. Chinese are expanding in seat asia. Afghanistan is a sanctuary not only for the taliban but also for isis terrorists who killed 80 people over the weekend in kabul. The list goes on. Back home, Race Relations are worse than at any time since the 1960s, in some areas police and young black men even fear for their lives. The far left has run wild under president obama selling a narrative that america is a bad country, an evil country. Dominated by white supremacy. Drug use is skyrocketing. Even as the Obama Administration puts forth that criminals who sell poison like heroin, meth, and cocaine are nonviolent. And deserve leniency. Political correctness destroying free speech. And giving power to the charlotte tons who are clagging the court system with frivolous lawsuits. Again, talking points could go on for hours. So donald trump may be terrifying voters with his rhetoric as a New York Times says, but his warnings are based in reality, are they not . Foreign and domestic terrorism is a contagion that is not being effectively confronted. Americans understand that all our lives have been changed. Its now routine, routine to see innocent people slaughtered in the streets. All of what i have just laid out in this talking points is in stone truth. No spin. And thea that truth has led to the rise of a strong man politician donald trump. The Democratic Convention this week will seek to counter mr. Trump. We will see if it succeeds. And thats the memo. Now for the top story tonight. Reaction, joining us for reaction Charles Krauthammer. Are you terrified like the New York Times is . No, not really. Any way i can selfmedicate if i have to. So thats not really an issue for me i think youre remuneration of the things have gone wrong in the world are true. Not better off. China, russia and iran going to go nuclear have strengthened and our al lines are very weak. I think all of that is very true. I think we do live in a new world, especially isis which had been down played by obama is now spreading everywhere and kills almost everywhere. On domestic issue i think its a little bit different there are, you cited many facts which are true. But one major fact is that the murder rate is about half of what it was 20, 25 years ago. It is historically low. So the idea that crime is rampant. Crime in the streets people r. A frayed is simply not reflection of relation. I do think the strength of trump and if you look at the polls that just came out in the last few days, where does he have the huge advantage in the demographic of white, working people who have no College Education . He has enormous advantage over hillary there. For that population, they live in a world of anxiety, wages shrinking, jobs going away. Its been cataloged by the social scientists Charles Murray a few years ago in a book called losing it. In describing that population, i think trump brilliantly reflects their anxieties and how they see the world. That population is not 69 of the country, and 69 of the country that includes liberal people. That includes democratic people. All different people. Thats enormous amount of people saying the country is on the wrong track. I submit to you bill, you know that the numbers on wrong track have been overwhelmingly negative for at least 15 years. Not that negative. Probably just as negative. That is about the lowest according to real clear, the lowest they have seen. Look, what im trying to get at, you can debate crime stats all day long, i dont disagree with you that street crime in america is down. But i will tell you this. That Hillary Clinton has to separate herself from the obama policy machine, particularly on economics, all right, where she will lose to trump. She will lose. If she runs on obama on what he has done. If she tries to justify the chaos overseas and the economy here, going to lose. She is not going to run on that. She has to stay close to him in running in the primaries. Its a dilemma every. Thats a big dilemma for her. It is. But Hubert Humphrey had that in 196. Look what happened to him . It happened to al gore in 2000. Look what happened to al it is always a challenge. Im not saying she has quote necessarily a winning hand. Im just saying there is nothing new about her challenge. I will till you this. If the world is so horrible as you describe it, why is it that obamas numbers is about 50 popularity. Because they like him as a person. George bush was in the low 30s at this point. You asked me and i will give you one. They like president obama as a person because he comes across as a wellmeaning man and the press loves him so he gets positive press almost everywhere and the low informational voter buys into that. But, in their gut, in our gut, people know its not going well. Now, do you believe that donald trump is what they call a strong man politician . That he is running on a authority, im going to clean it up my way. Do you believe he is a strong man . I think he is running as a strong man. Look at what he said in his speech. Only i can fix it. He said over and over again that he is the one. He will give you all kinds of promises i the bring back jobs. I will do this. I will wipe out isis without ever explaining how he is going to do that. Because he doesnt want isis to know. He wants to surprise them. Oh, come on, you believe that . [ laughter ] im here to disseminate opinion and information. I just told you what his answer was when i asked him that question four times. I wasnt asking him. I was asking you. And what you offered was a trump spin. Look, i think this if donald trump is elected president , he will go after isis a lot harder than president obama has. Do you disagree with that . You asked me about whether he joined strong man. You asked me whether trump would go after isis harder yes or no . I have absolutely no idea what he going to do. Come on, charles. Im not even sure he does to hear you spinning on his behalf. Im not spinning. Opinions cant be spined. We are both speculating on what a man would do. Look, i want to do know whether you believe that donald trump would go after terrorism, worldwide terrorism harder than obama and you say you dont know . I have absolutely no idea. Is he going to go after russia harder than anybody else. I dont know about russia. Is he going to be hard on russia and iran . What is he going to do on iran . You tell me. I think he would get a very, very hawkish pentagon and very hawkish secretary of defense and state. And do what . Dont know. Dont know. So you dont either . I dont know. And i dont know what Hillary Clinton is going to do because if she is buying in to president obamas view of oversees, is that what she is buying into . Is she going to do the same thing is he doing. Is she . Bill, you forgot your original question. No, i didnt. Is he rubbing as a strong man . I didnt forget it . The answer is yes. When a strong man runs he says trust me, im general, im a war hero, im a businessman. Right. I dont have to explain how im going to do it. Can i do it. I alone can do it. Thats what he said. Comes down to whether you Charles Krauthammer trust trump or trust Hillary Clinton. Who do you trust more . Well, its not a question of who i trust. Sure, it is they are both asking you to vote for them in nebulous ways. Trump doesnt spell it out and we dont know whether Hillary Clinton is going to do a third term of obama or not. Hillary clinton has put out a program you can he agree with it. What program . How is she going to you know as well as i do that trump is running on the promise im a successful in business. I will be successful as president. If you believe that you vote for him. If you are skeptical, then you have to have second thoughts. All right. Well, i appreciate the good debate, charles. Very lively. We just spent seven minutes for charles . It seemed like 20. Well, i keep having to remind you of what you said three minutes ago. Yeah, i know. Thats what holds us up. Umhuh, i know. Charles krauthammer, everybody. Next on the rundown, chaos within the Democratic Party today as the head of the dnc is fired. And later watters with the kids chasing the pokemon phantoms.

Flo [ ghost voice ] oooo [ laughs ] jaaaaamie, the name your price tool can show you Coverage Options to fit your budget. Tell me something i dont know oh ohhh she slimed me. Which i probably shouldve seen coming. [ laughs ] in the impact segment tonight, as the Democratic NationalConvention Opens this season, there evening there is still bitterness over the wikileaks. Still talking about hacker who got into the dnc email thread posting embarrassing emails on wikileaks. Apparently democratic big shots were hammering Bernie Sanders in appalling ways. For example, they attacked his religion. I am not an atheist but aside from all of that, i mean it is an outrage and sad that you would have people in important positions in the dnc trying to undermine my campaign. It goes without saying the function of the dnc is to represent all the candidates, to be fair and even minded. As the hacked email showed the dnc was not fair and the process was rigged against senator sanders. That falls on the shoulders of dnc Debbie Wassermanschultz congresswoman from florida. She has been removed as head of the dnc but showed up in florida this morning. [crowd booing] thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you so much. [cheers and booing] joining us now with reaction Katie Pavlich in washington and mary ann marsh. Mary ann we are hearing ominous things about Bernie Sanders supporters not listening to the senator who is going to speak later on say look, we have to support Hillary Clinton. And you heard them booing wassermanschultz. How bad is the democratic mess . Well, in terms of Debbie Wassermanschultz and the Bernie Sanders supporters, its pretty bad. The fact is they booed Bernie Sanders earlier today. Bernie sanders speech tonight that is going to be given in a little while is designed to make the case for Hillary Clinton with Bernie Sanders supporters. I am not going to be surprised if Bernie Sanders supporters boo him tonight on the convention floor. Really . When he makes that speech. That should tell you everything. Now what we know is it wasnt sanders wasnt unwilling to get out of this race. He was unwilling to land the plane. He opened up pandoras box. He had no ability to control the supporters. We say this. Why arent you blaming the dnc establishment . Why are you blaming Bernie Sanders . We have who have a right to be mad. Mad i saw the protests all day, come on. If Hillary Clinton got jobbed like Bernie Sanders got jobbed . You wouldnt be angry and booing . Of course you would. Its not sanders supporters and there are a lot of nuts in the crew. Everybody knows that but they have a right to boo and be angry because the whole thing was rigged mary ann. The fact is, bill. Nothing the dnc did, except write stupid things in emails affected the outcome for Hillary Clinton. She won with over 300 pledged delegates. 300 votes. No effect on that. You dont know that for sure. Thats the facts. You are seeing the tip of this thing. Those are the facts. Here we are and we thought maybe the Democratic Convention would be boring. Maybe if the dnc had taken a page out of Hillary Clintons playbook and deleted et the emails before they were hacked, they wouldnt be in this situation, right . But overall this does have an effect on the general election in this way. This proves the d. In c was used as an arm and extension of the Hillary Clinton campaign. This proves the system has rigged. Guess what america is sick of, corruption, politicians and rigged systems. Who does that benefit . It benefits donald trump who has been talking about egg rigged systems for months now. Benefits him in the w
