DAVID: MERCK SURGING 36% IN
2018, THE BEST YEAR FUELED BY
BLOCKBUSTER SALES OF ITS CANCER
DRUG.
ELIZABETH WARREN PUTTING HER
TOE, MORE THAN HER TOE, HER
WHOLE FOOT IN THE WATER IN TERMS
OF THE 2020 RACE.
SHE'S FORMED AN EXPLORATORY
COMMITTEE FOR A POSSIBLE
PRESIDENTIAL RUN TODAY.
HER ANNOUNCEMENT COMING A YEAR
BEFORE THE IOWA CAUCUSES.
WARREN IS THE FIRST HIGH PROFILE
DEMOCRAT TO TAKE FORMAL ACTION
TOWARDS A CAMPAIGN.
SHE'S EXPECTED TO CONTINUE WITH
HER ATTACK ON CORPORATE AMERICA.
TAKE A LISTEN.
>> THESE AREN'T CRACKS THAT
FAMILIES ARE FALLING INTO.
THEY'RE TRAPS.
AMERICA'S MIDDLE CLASS IS UNDER
ATTACK.
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
BILLIONAIRES IN BIG CORPORATIONS
DECIDED THEY WANTED MORE OF THE
PIE AND THEY ENLISTED
POLITICIANS TO CUT THEM A FATTER
SLICE.
DAVID: OF COURSE IT'S BIG
BUSINESS' FAULT.
HOW FAR WILL HER MESSAGE GET
WITH VOTERS, GANG.
>> I DON'T THINK VERY FAR AT
ALL, DAVID.
AND WHAT SHE FAILS TO FORGET IS
THAT MOST OF THE BILLIONAIRES,
THE RICHEST MEN AND WOMEN IN THE
WORLD, DEFINITELY IN THE COUNTRY
ARE IN SILICON VALLEY.
THEY'RE PROBABLY SOME OF HER
BIGGEST BACKERS.
SO A WAR AGAINST THE WEALTHY
RIGHT NOW MIGHT NOT BE IDEAL FOR
HER AS A WINNING STRATEGY.
>> I HATE TO ADMIT IT BUT
HEATHER HAS A POINT THERE.
LOOK.
>> IT'S OKAY.
DAVID: DON'T NEED TO ADMIT IT.
>> SHE HAS A LOT OF GOOD POINTS.
IT WAS A SMART THING POLITICALLY
TO BE THE FIRST IN, THIS EARLY
SHE'S ATTRACT SOME DONORS SOONER
THAN OTHERS.
BUT DON'T GET EXCITED BECAUSE
SHE AIN'T GOING THAT FAR.
>> YEAH, YOU KNOW, FIRST OF ALL,
THERE'S A STRONG PROGRESSIVE
MESSAGE OUT THERE THAT ATTRACTS
VOTERS AND THERE'S ONE THAT EVIL
BILLIONAIRES ARE STEALING MONEY
FROM THE MIDDLE CLASS.
SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE LIKE
THESE ARE THE GOLDEN GOOSES AND
WE WANT TO MELT THE EGGS AND NOT
HURT THE GOOSES AND ENCOURAGE
THE GOOSE TO LIVE HERE AND PAY
FOR THE WONDERFUL INFRASTRUCTURE
THAT OTHER PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD
OUT OF THEIR OWN INCOME.
NO ONE WANTS HER MORE INTO THE
ELECTION THAN THE PRESIDENT.
PETE HEGSETH DID AN INTERVIEW
RECENTLY.
WE SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THAT,
ELIZABETH DIPPING HER MOCCASIN
INTO THE RACE.
>> ELIZABETH WARREN WILL BE THE
FIRST.
SHE DID VERY BADLY IN PROVING
THAT SHE WAS OF INDIAN HERITAGE.
THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT TOO WELL.
I THINK YOU HAVE MORE THAN SHE
DOES AND MAYBE I DO TOO AND I
HAVE NOTHING.
SO WE'LL SEE HOW SHE DOES.
I WISH HER WELL.
I HOPE SHE DOES WELL.
I WOULD LOVE TO RUN AGAINST HER.
>> SHE SAYS SHE'S IN THE FIGHT
ALL OF THE WAY, MR. PRESIDENT.
DO YOU REALLY THINK SHE BELIEVES
SHE CAN WIN?
>> THAT I DON'T KNOW.
YOU WOULD HAVE TO ASK HER IKE
PSYCHIATRIST.
>> THE WOMAN HAS BEEN A
SUCCESSFUL PROFESSOR AND
STARTED, WHICH WAS KIND OF A
GOOD IDEA, THE CONSUMER FINANCE
PROTECTION BUREAU.
BUT THE DELIVERABLE TO THE
CONSUMERS, THE VOTERS, THE
MIDDLE CLASS BEING ROBBED BY
BILLIONAIRES HAS BEEN WEAK.
DURING THIS TEEN YOUR
DURING THIS TENN YOUR
DURING THIS TENURYOUR
DURING THIS TENUREOUR
DURING THIS TENURE WR
DURING THIS TENURE WE'VE HAD
KRIT TO COIN SCAMS COMING AND
GOING, PENNY AUCTIONS COMING AND
GOING, SPORTS GAMBLING
INCREASING, SCAM CALLS, SO
LITTLE THEY'VE ACTUALLY DONE FOR
THE CONSUMER.
BEEN SOME GOOD THINGS BUT IT
HASN'T ACCOMPLISHED WHAT IT WAS
SET OUT TO DO.
>> I'VE BFN HEARING THIS SAME
SOCIALIST BS SINCE MY BAR
MITZVAH.
IT NEVER CHANGES.
THE RICH ARE BAD.
THE MIDDLE CLASS ARE BEING
SCREWED.
AND THE PROBLEM WITH SOMEBODY
LIKE ELIZABETH WARREN IS THAT
SHE'S JUST SOCIALIST WITH OUR
MONEY.
WITH OURSELVES SHE'S QUITE THE
CAPITALIST AND MADE A TON OF
MONEY.
THEY'RE ALL ABOUT RULES AND
REGULATIONS AND FEES AND FINES
AND MANDATES AND TAXES BECAUSE
THEY THINK THEY'RE SMARTER THAN
THE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY THAT
ARE WORKING THEIR TAIL OFF TO
IMPROVE THEMSELVES.
IT'S JUST TIRESOME.
GOING ON TOO LONG.
DAVID: HER MESSAGE THAT THE
MIDDLE CLASS HAS NEVER BEEN
WORSE OFF, I DON'T THINK IT'S
GOING TO RESONATE.
THE MIDDLE CLASS, THERE ARE MORE
JOBS NOW THAN EVER FOR MIDDLE
CLASS, EVERY
CLASS, EVER IN MY LIFETIME.
THAT GIVES FOLKS IN THE MIDDLE
CLASS FOR LEVERAGE TO GET THEIR
WAGES UP.
WAGES ARE GOING UP.
MORE JOBS, HIGHER WAGES, MORE
BUYER POWER.
I JUST WONDER WHETHER HER
MESSAGE THAT THIS IS THE WORST
TIME FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS IS
GOING TO PASS.
>> I REALLY DON'T THINK IT WILL.
>> IT'S A 2008 MESSAGE.
NOT NOW.
I THINK PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS WON
OVER A LOT OF THE MIDDLE CLASS.
SO I'M NOT SURE THAT'S THE RIGHT
MESSAGE.
SHE SHOULD BE HAVING
RIGHT NOW.
BUT HER AMBITIONS ARE NO SECRET.
SHE'S HAD MANY TOWN HALL
MEETINGS IN AREAS OF
MASSACHUSETTS WHERE THE
PRESIDENT CARRIED THOSE ERAS AND
SHE'S BEEN DEMANDING TAX RETURNS
FOR THE IRS TO RELEASE TAX
RETURNS OF ANYONE RUNNING FOR
OFFICE.
THAT'S NO SURPRISE AS WE KNOW
THAT SHE HAS BEEN DEMANDING
PRESIDENT TRUMP RELEASE HIS TAX
RETURN.
THAT'S BEEN A THEME OF HEARSE.
>> SO I'M GOING TO AGREE THAT
HER MITCH WAS A MUCH BETTER 2006
PITCH AND THERE -- 2016 PITCH,
SORRY.
AND THERE ARE A LOT OF DEMOCRATS
OUT THERE THAT FEEL LIKE SHE
MISSED HER OPPORTUNITY BY NOT
RUN IN 2016 AREN'T FEELING A LOT
FOR HER HERE.
AT THE SAME TIME, YES.
I AGREE THE MIDDLE CLASS IS
BETTER OFF THAN SHE'S PAINTING
IT.
I DON'T AGREE THAT THE MIDDLE
CLASS IS AS HOOKED ON THE
PRESIDENT AS THEY WERE BACK IN
2016.
AND I GOT TO ASK THE QUESTION,
DID WE REALLY NEED THAT FINAL
REMARK BY THE PRESIDENT?
>> WHO IS IN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY
THAT THINKS ABOUT LOWER TAXES,
STRONGER BUSINESS, LESS
REGULATIONS.
THE PEOPLE --
DAVID: YOU SHOULD HAVE RUN, RICK
IF YOU'RE THE ONE.
>> YOU HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING I
DON'T AGREE WITH AND YET I'M A
DEMOCRAT BECAUSE I SUPPORT
WORKERS.
OF COURSE I ALSO SUPPORT UNIONS.
SO YOU GOT THAT PROBLEM.
DAVID: GARY AND RICK CAN COME
TOGETHER HERE BECAUSE THE
FACT.
>> I LOVE RIC.
DAVID: THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE
LIKE RIC IN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY
AND THEIR VOICE IS BEING SHOUTED
OUT.
>> THEY'RE NOT BEING HEARD.
YEAH.
I THINK MODERATE DEMOCRATIC
VOICES IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
LIKE RICK'S AREN'T BEING HEARD,
DAVID.
I THINK THEY MIGHT BE BEING
DROWNED OUT BY LEFT-WING
LIBERALS LIKE LIZ WEATHER WARREN
AND NANCY PELOSI.
THAT NIGHT BE THE PROBLEM.
WE NEED MORE DEMOCRATS LIKE
RICK.
>> THERE'S MORE THAN YOU THINK.
WE'LL SEE HOW THE DIALOGUE GOES
OVER.
>> JFK COULD NOT BE ELECTED AT
THIS POINT IN TIME WITH THE WAY
THIS PARTY IS GOING.
>> THAT'S POSSIBLE.
>> THEY CONTINUE TO BE FOR MORE
AND BIGGER GOVERNMENT, LESS AND
LESS OF THE ECONOMY.
THEY ARE MORE OF BEING THE
HOOVER VACUUM OF OUR TAXES IN
ORDER TO SOLIDIFY THEIR POWER
PEP AND IT NEVER ENDS.
AND I KEEP WAITING FOR ONE DAY,
THAT ONE PERSON ON THE LEFT THAT
MAYBE IS CLOSE TO THE MIDDLE
THAT I CAN ACTUALLY LISTEN TO.
I CAN'T EVEN LISTEN TO ANY OF
THESE PEOPLE THAT LOOK --
DAVID: WE'RE FORGETTING
SOMETHING ELSE ABOUT JFK.
HE WAS A WAR HERO AS WELL.
HE REALLY HAD IT ALL.
HE MAY STILL HAVE BEEN ELECTED.
