>> WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT GOD
AWFUL TAX CUT THE PRESIDENT PUT
OUT.
BY THE WAY, YA'LL DID WELL ON
THAT, RIGHT?
YOU SAW THINGS GO.
>> Neil: ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT.
I'M GOING TO TAKE A LEAP THE
VICE PRESIDENT DOESN'T LIKE THE
TAX CUT AND IT'S A FAILURE IN
HIS EYES.
WE SHOW POLLS THAT HE LEADS THE
CROWDED 2020 FIELD BY QUITE A
BIT RIGHT NOW.
THAT COULD CHANGE.
FOR NOW, IS HE THE ONE THE
ADMINISTRATION SHOULD BE WORRIED
ABOUT?
RONNA McDANIEL.
WE CALLED HER A DEMOCRATIC
COUNTERPART TOM PEREZ.
HE WAS UNAVAILABLE.
VERY GOOD TO HAVE YOU, RONNA.
IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE THE
FACT IS AND IDEAL IN FACTS HERE,
MOST AMERICANS DID GET A TAX
CUT.
WHAT IS INTERESTING ABOUT IT
THOUGH IS MOST AMERICANS DON'T
FEEL THEY DID.
THAT IS WHAT IS KIND OF WACKY,
RIGHT?
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT'S A CASE
OF PEOPLE THAT DON'T SEE THEIR
CHECKS BECAUSE THEY'RE
AUTOMATICALLY DEPOSITED OR THEY
JUST WROTE IT OFF AS NOT AS BIG
AS THEY WANTED EVEN THOUGH THEY
GOT A CUT.
DOES IT WORRY YOU THAT A
SIGNATURE ISSUE COULD TURN ON
REPUBLICANS?
>> YOU ALSO HAVE OTHER
INDICATORS THAT MOST AMERICANS
FEEL THE COUNTRY IS DOING WELL
ECONOMICALLY, CONSUMER
CONFIDENCE IS UP.
PEOPLE RECOGNIZE OUR ECONOMY IS
BOOMING.
WE JUST HAD THE 3.2% GDP.
WE KNOW WAGES ARE UP.
WE KNOW JOBS ARE COMING BACK.
ALL OF THOSE THINGS TOGETHER
SHOW THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
POLICIES WORK.
BETTER TRADE DEALS AND CUTTING
TAXES HAVE CREATED A MUCH BETTER
ECONOMY.
WE GET TO CONTRAST THAT WITH THE
BIDEN-OBAMA ECONOMY WHERE WAGES
WERE STAGNANT, GDP WAS MINUSCULE
AND JOBS WERE FLEEING OUR
COUNTRY.
SO IT'S A PRETTY CLEAR WAY TO
BALANCE WHAT THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION HAS DONE VERSUS
THE OBAMA-BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.
CLEARLY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
WERE WORKING FOR THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
>> IT'S NOT AS IF THE OTHER GUYS
WEREN'T.
BARACK OBAMA INHERITED A ECONOMY
IN A FREE FALL.
I'M NOT TAKING SIDES HERE.
BUT IT'S FAIR --
>> BUT THE SLOWEST RECOVERY IN
HISTORY --
>> Neil: AND THE WORST POST WAR
RECESSION.
SO WHAT I'M SAYING, PRESIDENT
THE PRESIDENT KEEPS TAKE A BOW
FOR THE MESS HE INHERITED, IS
THE HYPERBOLE A BIT NERVY?
>> HE CAN TAKE CREDIT FOR IT.
DEREGULATING INDUSTRY SO PEOPLE
CAN GET MORE INCOME TO START
SMART BUSINESSES, CUTTING THE
CORPORATE TAX RATE SO COMMITS
CAN CREATE MORE JOBS.
THESE ARE THINGS THAT ARE
DIRECTLY BECAUSE OF POLICIES BY
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
OBAMA DID THE OPPOSITE.
THEY INCREASED REGULATION AND
TAXES.
THAT'S WHY OUR ECONOMY DID NOT
GROW AFTER THAT RECESSION.
>> Neil: YOU'RE RIGHT TO TALK
ABOUT THE FACT THAT WAGE GROWTH
HAS BEEN PICKING UP, IN THE
LATEST RUNNING, 3.3% CLIP.
VERY GOOD.
IT'S A VOLATILE NUMBER.
IT WAS AVERAGING 2.8%, 2.9%
UNDER THE EIGHT YEARS OF BARACK
OBAMA WHEN ALL WAS SAID AND
DONE.
DO YOU THINK IT HURTS HIS
MESSAGE WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT THE
FEDERAL RESERVE HOLDING HIM BACK
OR BLAMES SOMEONE ELSE FOR
HOLDING HIM BACK?
BLAMES OTHER PEOPLE FOR OTHER
THINGS THAT AREN'T GOING RIGHT,
THAT THAT -- FOR SOME REASON THE
NUMBERS IN THE COMMIT AND THE
MARKETS ARE QUITE RIGHT, SPEAK
FOR THEMSELVES.
WHY CAN'T HE LEAVE IT AT THAT
WITHOUT POINTING A FINGER THAT I
DID BETTER THAN THIS GUY, THIS
GUY WAS A DISASTER OR THE
FEDERAL RESERVE STOPPED ME AND I
COULD HAVE DONE BETTER WITHOUT
THEM.
IT JUST GETS KIND OF LIKE A
PILE, DOESN'T IT?
>> LISTEN, DONALD TRUMP IS A
BUSINESS MAN THAT RAN FOR OFFICE
BECAUSE HE SAID WASHINGTON CAN'T
GET IT DONE.
THE BUREAUCRACY IS PRESENTING US
FROM GETTING IT DONE.
HE DOES DESERVE TO TAKE IT
CREDIT AND HE SPEAKS HIS MIND --
>> Neil: CAN THEY BOTH TAKE
CREDIT?
A TEN-YEAR PLUS LONG BULL
MARKET.
I AGREE.
A LOT OF HIS POLICIES HAVE DONE
JUST THE TRICK.
BUT WHY CAN'T THIS TEN-YEAR PLUS
BULL MARKET BE BOTH THE
PRESIDENT'S DOOR STEP AND HIS
PRIOR PRESIDENT'S --
>> WHY CAN'T CAN ANYBODY FROM
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION OR JOE
BIDEN OR ANY DEMOCRAT SAY, YOU
KNOW WHAT?
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS CORRECT.
HE KICK STARTED THIS COPY.
THEY'RE SAYING LET'S TAKE OVER
OUR HEALTH CAR, GOVERNMENT
HEALTHCARE, TAKE OVER OUR
SCHOOLS.
IT'S MORE OF A GOVERNMENT
TAKEOVER AND POLICIES THAT WILL
SLOW AND STAGNATE --
>> Neil: DO REPUBLICANS HAVE A
HEALTHCARE PLAN YET?
>> THE REPUBLICANS HAVE
TALKED --
>> Neil: WHEN IS THAT GOING TO
HAPPEN?
>> I'M NOT A POLICY MAKER.
I WILL SAY THIS.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE
DOCTOR-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP IS
RESTORED.
WE DON'T WANT BUREAUCRATS --
>> Neil: I UNDERSTAND.
BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO TALK
ABOUT HIS PREDECESSOR AND SAY
HIS --
>> Neil: WE PUT PLANS UP.
>> Neil: YOU DON'T HAVE A PLAN.
>> WE HAD GRAHAM CASSIDY.
WE DID.
LET'S GO BACK.
WE HAD GRAHAM CASSIDY.
DEMOCRATS DIDN'T VOTE FOR IT.
YOU HAVE THE STATE PLAN THAT
RESTORES THE DOCTOR PATIENT
RELATIONSHIP.
WE PUT A PLAN FOR WART.
DEMOCRATS HAVE REJECTED EVERY
PLAN.
>> THE PRESIDENT SAID WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE A HEALTHCARE PLAN,
REPUBLICANS WERE SURPRISED THAT
HE WAS TALKING THAT UP AT A
TIME, THAT'S AN ISSUE THAT THEY
COULD BE VULNERABLE ON.
ARE YOU SAYING YOU HAVE A
HEALTHCARE PLAN --
>> I'M NOT CRAFTING THE PLAN.
I'LL SAY WE'LL CONTRAST WITH THE
DEMOCRATS WHAT MEDICARE FOR ALL
MEANS, WHICH SOUNDS GREAT.
MEDICARE FOR ALL.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN IN A TOTAL
GOVERNMENT TAKE OVER.
IT MEAN BUREAUCRATS WILL BE
MAKING YOUR MEDICARE DECISIONS
AND THE COSTS WILL BE
ASTRONOMICAL AND DESTROY THE
ABSOLUTE -- THE UNDERLYING
HEALTHCARE IN THIS COUNTRY.
SO YES, WE'RE GOING TO CONTRAST
THAT.
>> Neil: AND THE PRESIDENT
MENTIONING DEFICITS.
PRESIDENT OBAMA KEPT BUILDING
DEBT.
HE'S RUNNING IT UP AT A FASTER
PACE.
I'M NOT SAYING HE EXCLUSIVELY.
BUT DOES HE FEEL BAD ABOUT THAT
OR THAT HE'S NOT BEEN ABLE TO --
THAT IS REPUBLICANS, WHEN THEY
HAD THE RUN OF THE TABLE, HAVE
NOT BEEN ABLE TO DEAL WITH THAT?
REPUBLICANS ARE ATTACKING
DEMOCRATS AND BEING SPENDTHRIFTS
WHEN IN FACT THE RATE WE'RE
GOING, THIS PRESIDENT WILL TOP
THAT.
>> LET'S REMEMBER THE DEMOCRATS
CONTROL THE HOUSE.
WE NEVER HAD A FULL MAJORITY IN
THE SENATE, 60 VOTES TO PASS
BUDGETS.
SO WE HAD TO WORK WITH
DEMOCRATS.
THAT'S THE WAY THAT THIS
GOVERNMENT HAS FUNCTIONED.
ABSOLUTELY THE PRESIDENT IS
FISCALLY CONSCIOUS.
HE'S RECOGNIZED THAT WE NEED TO
GROW THIS ECONOMY TO PAY OFF OUR
DEBT.
>> HE SAID THE BUDGET THAT THE
HOUSE HOSTED ON HIM WAS OVER A
TRILLION DOLLARS BUT HE SIGNED
OFF ON IT, RIGHT?
>> BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT
RECOGNIZED WE HAVE TO PAY FOR
OUR DEFENSE AND OTHER THINGS TO
GET DONE.
THE ONLY WAY HE CAN DO THAT IS
WITH DEMOCRAT VOTES.
SO DEMOCRATS NEED TO BE MORE
FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE AS WELL.
>> Neil: WHAT ABOUT REPUBLICANS?
>> I THINK WE ALL NEED TO
RECOGNIZE WE HAVE A DEFICIT AND
A DEBT PROBLEM.
>> Neil: I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE THAT
GIVE A RATS YOU KNOW WHAT ABOUT
IT.
>> WE.
HAVE WE HAVE GREEN THIS ECONOMY,
NEIL.
THAT'S TAKING CARE OF IT.
BY GROWING THE ECONOMY AND THE
GDP, WE'RE DEALING WITH DEFICIT
PROBLEMS.
>> I SEE TRILLION DOLLAR
