GRIFF JENKINS, THANK YOU FOR ALL
NORTH CAROLINA.
HITTING THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL,
PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL RALLY THIS
LAST NIGHT THE COMMANDER IN
CHIEF SLAMMED HIS PREDECESSOR.
LISTEN TO THIS.
>> REMEMBER WHEN PRESIDENT OBAMA
SAID YOU CAN'T HAVE
MANUFACTURING JOBS ANYMORE?
BY THE WAY, HE'S CAMPAIGNING
AGAIN.
THAT'S GOOD NEWS.
WHEN I WAS RUNNING, I SWEAR I
THINK HE CAMPAIGNED HARD R
THINK HE CAMPAIGNED HARDER THAN
HILLARY CLINTON AND WE WON BIG.
DAGEN: PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL BE
IN NORTH PHILADELPHIA THIS
AFTERNOON.
WILL HE TAKE CREDIT FOR THE
RECENT MARKET BOOM?
HE KIND OF DID WHEN HE SPOKE FOR
THE FIRST TIME SINCE PRESIDENT
TRUMP GOT ELECTED.
HERE TO DISCUSS, ANTOINE
SEERIGHT, FORMER HILLARY CLINTON
ADD
ADVISOR.
YOU JUST HEARD PRESIDENT TRUMP.
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT TO HEAR FROM
PRESIDENT OBAMA AS HE KEEPS
CAMPAIGNING FOR THE DEMOCRATS.
>> I THINK WE EXPECT TO HEAR
FROM PRESIDENT OBAMA WHAT WE'VE
BEEN HEARING FROM DEMOCRATS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND THAT IS
AT THE END OF THE DAY, I THINK
MOST PEOPLE WOULD AGREE THAT
THINGS ARE NOT WHERE THEY NEED
EXPERIENCE FOR SOME DOESN'T LOOK
LIKE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FOR
OTHERS AND THAT'S WHY YOU SEE
I'M SURE THAT'S WHY YOU'LL SEE
MICHELLE OBAMA ON THE CAMPAIGN
TRAIL.
THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO HAVE ALL
WILL LITERALLY DETERMINE THE
THAT HE GAVE, THE MOST RECENT
SPEECH THAT HE GAVE, HE
LITERALLY WAS TAKING CREDIT FOR
THE RECENT EXPANSION.
AND I HAVE SAID, LISTEN, THE
MARKET RALLY STARTED IN 2009.
THIS ECONOMY CAME OUT OF A A
RECESSION IN 2009.
HE WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES THEN.
WE REACHED A HIGHER GROWTH
PLATEAU.
THAT IS KIND OF EXCEPTIONAL AND
RARE WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
POLICIES, WITH THE DEREGULATION,
WITH THE TAX REFORM, THAT IS
VERY RARE, BEING NINE YEARS INTO
AN ECONOMIC EXPANSION.
IS NOT SOMETHING YOU SEE UNDER
PRESIDENT OBAMA.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU WOULD
HAVE SEEN UNDER HILL YOULY
CLINTON.
I THINK IT'S JUST VERY
INTERESTING THAT YOU HAVE
PRESIDENT TRUMP GOING TO A STATE
POLARIZATION IN THE COUNTRY
RIGHT NOW, THAT TRUMP, IT'S A
SMART MOVE TO HAVE HIM
CAMPAIGNING.
OBAMA, OUT IN CALIFORNIA, IT
MAKES SENSE FOR HIM TO BE THERE.
>> I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT IT --
DAGEN: GO AHEAD, ANTOINE.
>> I THINK THE PREVIOUS GUEST IS
A BIT OFF ON HER FACTS.
DONALD TRUMP WON PENNSYLVANIA.
THE FACT THAT BARACK OBAMA IS
GOING TO CAMPAIGN IN
PENNSYLVANIA SAYS EVERYTHING
ABOUT WHERE WE ARE IN TERMS OF
OUR POLITICS IN THIS COUNTRY.
AT THE END OF THE DAY --
WE HAVE SOME REPUBLICANS LIKE IN
FLORIDA AND A NUMBER OF PLACES
WHERE REPUBLICANS NEED TO WIN,
TRUMP.
I THINK THAT WAS TRUE IN 2010
AND 2014 FOR DEMOCRATS.
ANY ELECTION WE'VE HAD IN A LONG
TIME WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE
MOOD OF THE COUNTRY AND ON
ISSUES, NOT ON THE EMOTIONS OF
VOTERS.
DAGEN: I WOULD SAY THE
BIGGEST ISSUE, PARTICULARLY WHEN
IT COMES TO FEMALE VOTERS IS DO
I FEEL FINANCIALLY SECURE, DO I
FEEL COMFORTABLE ABOUT MY JOB
AND MY FAMILY'S FINANCES.
JACK BREWER, I THINK IT'S VERY
HARD FOR MOST PEOPLE IN THIS
COUNTRY TO SAY I'M
COUNTRY TO SAY W'M
COUNTRY TO SAY WORSE OFF NOW
FINANCIALLY THAN I WAS A FEW
ANTOINE, I RESPECT YOU, I LOVE
YOU, BROTHER, BUT I TOTALLY
DISAGREE.
THIS BROAD PICTURE, TO PRETEND
THAT THE POLICIES OF DONALD
TRUMP ECONOMICALLY HAVE NOT BEEN
GOOD FOR PEOPLE, IT JUST ISN'T
TRUE.
I DON'T THINK YOU CAN CONTINUE
TO PUSH THAT NARRATIVE BECAUSE
IF YOU LOOK AT THE FACTS, THERE
ARE LESS POOR PEOPLE, AND THAT'S
WHAT I CARE ABOUT, THERE ARE
LESS POOR PEOPLE ON FOOD STAMPS
TODAY THAN THERE HAVE BEEN IN A
LIKE ME AND YOU WORKING THAN IN
JOBS AND FREEDOM.
WE'VE GOT MORE JOBS IN THIS
IF YOU WANT TO PLAY ON THE
EMOTIONS, IF YOU WANT TO BRING
IN THE RACISM, BRING IN THE
SEXISM AND ALL THE EMOTIONAL
THINGS, WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT.
IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PURE
POLICY, HOW CAN YOU IGNORE THAT
WHEN THE DEREGULATION HAS
CLEARLY MADE AN IMPACT ON THIS
ECONOMY.
THE TAX REFORM HAS CLEARLY MADE
AN IMPACT ON THIS ECONOMY.
YEARS AGO, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN
LAUGHED AT.
I WASN'T EXPECTING.
AND NOW WE'RE SEEING IT.
LET'S KEEP IT REAL AND AT LEAST
BE HONEST ABOUT THE SITUATION
THAT WE ARE IN AS A COUNTRY.
>> LOOK, YOU WON'T FIND ME
HAVING EMOTIONAL ARGUMENTS.
I TRY TO COME WITH
NON-DEBATEABLE FACTS.
THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, WHILE
DOING WELL UNDER THE PREVIOUS
PRESIDENT AND WHILE THE
I'VE SEEN, EVERY POLL I READ
SAID THE HEALTH CARE WILL BE THE
NUMBER ONE ISSUE IN THIS
ELECTION.
THAT'S WHY YOU SEE DEMOCRATS
GOING ON THE OFFENSE, EVEN IN
RED STATES, ABOUT PRE-EXISTING
CONDITIONS AND WHY REPUBLICANS
LITERALLY SHUT DOWN HEALTH CARE
AND THE ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE,
QUALITY HEALTH CARE IN MANY
PLACES.
I'M HAPPY TO HAVE A POLICY
AMERICAN PEOPLE FROM A POLICY
STANDPOINT.
DAGEN: ANTOINE, THE PEOPLE HAVE
NOT BEEN SHUT OUT OF HEALTH
CARE.
>> I DIDN'T SAY THAT.
DAGEN: THIS IS AN ISSUE ABOUT
HEALTH INSURANCE AND HOW WE
HANDLE HEALTH INSURANCE IN FACT,
THE REPUBLICANS HAVE RESCINDED
THE INDIVIDUAL MANDATE.
WANT TO.
>> I DIDN'T SAY IT WAS ABOUT --
I DIDN'T SAY IT WAS ABOUT WHAT
YOU JUST SAID.
WHAT I SAID WAS ACCESS TO
AFFORDABLE, QUALITY HEALTH CARE,
IF YOU LOOK AT RURAL AREAS IN
SOUTH CAROLINA WHERE I'M FROM,
WE CLOSED FIVE RURAL HOSPITALS
IN THE STATE.
THAT MEANS PEOPLE COULD DIE
BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO RIDE AN
HOUR TO GET TO A HEALTH FACILITY
WHEN THEY HAVE AN ISSUE LATE IN
THE MIDNIGHT HOUR.
THIS WILL BE ABOUT ACCESS TO
AFFORDABLE, QUALITY HEALTH CARE.
HEALTH INSURANCE IS PART OF
THAT.
ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE, QUALITY
HEALTH CARE AND WOMEN'S HEALTH
CARE WILL BE A VERY
IMPORTANT ISSUE.
THEY WILL BE A LARGE VOTER BLOCK
IN THIS ELECTION.
DAGEN: YES, THEY ARE.
THOSE ARE LOCAL ISSUES AND
YOU'RE AN ADVOCATE FOR
GOVERNOR IS ANDREW GILAM.
