WHAT SKILL SETS ARE DON’T KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE IN THE
WORKPLACE.
WORKPLACE. >> WOW JOINING US RIGHT NOW
NEW CEO FORMER PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE HERMAN CAIN GOOD TO
SEE YOU.
SEE YOU. THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> GIVE ME YOUR REACTION TO
MICHAEL BLOOMBERG’S COMMENTS,
JUST THERE, THAT YOU JUST
HEARD AS WELL AS THE MOST
RECENT COMMENTS ON STOP AND
FRISK THROW THEM AGAINST THE
WALL?
WALL? >> I THINK HE IS
OVERGENERALIZING BECAUSE NOT
ONLY BLACK PEOPLE FALL IN
CATEGORY HE HAS DESCRIBED.
YES, THERE ARE SOME THAT FALL
INTO THAT CATEGORY.
BUT THE MAJORITY OF BLACKS ARE
THE ABSOLUTE OPPOSITE OF THAT,
AND THE THING THAT BLACK
PEOPLE HAVE IN COMMON WITH ALL
PEOPLE IS THAT THEY ARE NOT
STUPID THEY CAN THINK, SO SOME
OF HIS PERCEPTIONS GOING INTO
THIS PRESIDENTIAL RACE ARE
TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE
WHOLE BLACK COMMUNITY, THE
WHOLE BLACK COMMUNITY IS NOT
ONE HOMOGENEOUS GROUP THAT IS
STATEMENT BY MAYOR BLOOMBERG
OTHERS THIS IS WHERE THEY MISS
THE POINT.
THE POINT. >> YOU MAKE A REALLY IMPORTANT
POINT AND OBVIOUSLY, WE ALL
KNOW THAT.
KNOW THAT. BUT GIVE US YOUR SENSE OF THE
-- THE SUPPORT FOR MICHAEL
BLOOMBERG FROM THE BLACK
COMMUNITY, AND WHAT ABOUT THE
SUPPORT FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP,
BY THE WAY, OF THE BLACK
COMMUNITY?
COMMUNITY? GIVEN THE FACT THAT YOU’VE GOT
THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE AT A
RECORD LOW, I THINK THAT IS
ALSO STOKING INTEREST IN THAT
PART OF THE POPULATION FOR THE
PRESIDENT.
PRESIDENT. >> YEAH.
>> YEAH. I GIVE A LOT OF ANECDOTAL
FEEDBACK FROM BLACK PEOPLE
CASE THEY ARE NOT AS OUTSPOKEN
AS I AM, IN TERMS OF THEIR
SUPPORT FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP.
ALLOW ME TO GIVE YOU SOME
STATISTICS, 2018, RASMUSSEN
DID AT A POLL THAT SHOWED THAT
BLACK SUPPORT PRESIDENT TRUMP
AT LEVEL OF 36%, LATE LAST
YEAR THAT WAS EMERSON POLL
CAME OUT SAID 34% BLACKS
SUPPORT TRUMP THERE WAS
ANOTHER POLL IT WAS RASMUSSEN
POLL IN 2017 EXCUSE ME, EARLY
IN 2018, GALLUP POLL CAME OUT
ALSO LATE LAST YEAR SAID IT
WAS ALSO 34%, THREE
INDEPENDENT POLLS BASICALLY
INDICATING AT LEAST A THIRD OF
BLACK VOTERS ARE IN FACT
SUPPORTING PRESIDENT TRUMP BUT
THE NARRATIVE ON LEFT FROM
DEMOCRATS THEY WANT YOU TO
BELIEVE PRESIDENT TRUMP IS
STRUGGLING IN THE SINGLE
DIGITS THEY REPORTED THAT WAS
WHAT IT WAS AFTER LAST
ELECTION I DON’T BELIEVE THAT
NUMBER BECAUSE WHEN PEOPLE
COME OUT AND YOU DO EXIT
INTERVIEWS DON’T ALWAYS TELL
TRUTH IF IN BLACK MAY BEED
BLACK PRECINCT SOMEBODY WITH A
MICROPHONE IN THEIR CASE MAY
NOT BE TOTALLY HONEST, I
HAPPEN TO BELIEVE THOSE THREE
POLLS, ISSUE ABOUT WELL
DOCUMENTED.
DOCUMENTED. >> -- I THINK YOU MADE A GREAT
POINT WHEN YOU SAID THAT BLACK
PEOPLE ARE NOT HOMOGENOUS
GROUP IT SEEMS DOESN’T IT THAT
DEMOCRATS THINK OF THEM THAT
WAY AND ALSO THINK THAT THEY
ARE MORE INTERESTED IN
IDENTITY POLITICS AND ANGER
THAN OPPORTUNITY, DO YOU THINK
THAT A REPUBLICAN MESSAGE
MIGHT BE GETTING THROUGH TO A
LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN
DEMOCRATS FOR MANY YEARS?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. THE REPUBLICAN MESSAGE
CONSERVATIVE MESSAGE IS
GETTING THROUGH.
GETTING THROUGH. AND THE REASON THAT THE
DEMOCRATS PLAY IDENTITY
POLITICS THEY ARE TRYING TO
INTIMIDATE BLACK PEOPLE TO
STAY ON DEMOCRATIC PLANTATION
THREE POLLS I CITED FOR YOU
INDICATE THAT BLACKS ARE NOT
STANDING ON DEMOCRAT
PLANTATION MANY ARE LIKE ME
DEFENDANT THE DEMOCRAT
PLANTATION NOT GOING BACK, I
APPRECIATE THE RESULTS, I
APPRECIATE THE RESULTS THAT
THIS PRESIDENT AND HIS
ADMINISTRATION ARE GENERATING.
OUR CHALLENGE AS CONSERVATIVES
SUPPORTERS OF TRUMP IS TO GET
THAT MESSAGE OUT.
NOT JUST ONE STATISTIC BUT ALL
OF THE AMAZING RESULTS THAT
HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED IN THE LAST
THREE YEARS, THOSE THREE
POLLS, INDICATE THAT IN FACT A
LOT OF BLACK PEOPLE ARE INDEED
APPRECIATING RESULTS NOT JUST
PERCEPTION.
PERCEPTION. >> THAT IS GOING TO BE
IMPORTANT INTO SOUTH CAROLINA
AS WELL.
AS WELL. >> TOM I AM GOING TO ASK YOU
TO PUT ON POLITICAL CONSULTANT
HAT HERE ONE OF THE QUESTIONS,
IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY
RIGHT NOW IS WHETHER BLACK
VOTERS ARE SPIKEING WITH JOE
BIDEN OR MIGRATE TO ONE
ANOTHER CANDIDATE IN THE FIELD
WHAT I ALSO YOUR TAKE ON BLACK
SUPPORT FOR JOE BIDEN?
IS IT JUST THIS SORT OF WARM
FUZZY FEELING ABOUTBREAKBREAK
HIS ASSOCIATION WITH OBAMA OR
SOLID GOING TO STICK WITH HIM
DO YOU THINK?
>> I THINK THE PEOPLE THAT
WERE ARE SUPPORTING JOE BIDEN
ARE GOING THREE DIRECTIONS, I
DON’T KNOW IN WHAT AMOUNTS,
FIRST, THEY MAY GO TO MAYOR
BLOOMBERG BECAUSE HE IS A
BUSINESSMAN SECONDLY MAY STAY
WITH JOE BIDEN BECAUSE OF HIS
PAST ASSOCIATION WITH OBAMA,
BUT, MORE IMPORTANTLY, I
BELIEVE MOST OF THEM THAT ARE
LEAVING JOE BIDEN ARE GOING TO
SUPPORT REPUBLICANS AND
SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP.
WHY?
WHY? BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT BUYING
THIS NARRATIVE THAT NEGATIVE
NARRATIVE ABOUT PERCEPTION,
ABOUT THE RESULTS DON’T MEAN
ANYTHING, THEY ARE JUST TRYING
TO DOWNPLAY THIS ECONOMY,
RATHER THAN ALLOW PEOPLE TO
LEARN THE TRUTH.
MARIA: YEAH, IT IS FUNNY.
>> PERCENTAGE OF THEM --
>> BECAUSE YOU KNOW, YOU CAN’T
EVEN GET THEM TO ADMIT THAT
THE ECONOMY IS GOING WELL,
THEN YOU’VE GOT WAR OF WORDS
ON TWITTER BETWEEN THE
PRESIDENT AND FORMER PRESIDENT
BARACK OBAMA OVER BOOMING
ECONOMY SO HE OBAMA TWEETS OUT
YESTERDAY HERMAN 11 YEARS AGO
TODAY NEAR BOTTOM OF THE WORST
RECESSION IN GENERATIONS I
FIND RECOVERY ACT PAVING THE
WAY MORE THAN A DECADE
ECONOMIC GROWTH LONGEST STREAK
JOB CREATION IN AMERICAN
HISTORY HE IS TAKING CREDIT
FOR IT PRESIDENT TRUMP FIRES
BACK WRITING DID YOU HEAR THE
WAY THIS CON JOB OBAMA TRYING
TO TAKE CREDIT FOR BOON UNDER
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WEAKEST
ECONOMY, DESPITE ZERO RATES
QUANTITATIVE EASING, NOW BEST
JOBS EVER REBUILD MILITARY
DEPLETED FED RATED UP TAGS
REGULATIONS DOWN IF DEMS WON
2016 USA WOULD BE AN ECONOMIC
DEPRESSION QUESTION MARK HE
RIGHTS MILITARY TROUBLE THE
BEST YET TO COME KEEP AMERICA
GREAT.
GREAT. HERMAN.
HERMAN. >> WELL, LET’S START WITH THAT
RECOVERY FROM THE RECESSION
THAT OBAMA ARE INHERITED DID
NOT GROW AS MUCH AS PREVIOUS
RECESSIONS ABLE TO GET IN AS
PRESIDENT.
PRESIDENT. >> WEAKEST RECOVERY WE HAVE
EVER SEEN?
EVER SEEN? >> IF WEAKEST RECOVERY WE HAVE
EVER SEEN, HERE IS THINGS THAT
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION DID NOT
DO.
DO. ONE, THEY DID NOT ROLL BACK
THEY DID NOT DECREASE TAXES
TWO DID NOT ROLL BACK
REGULATIONS THEY DID THE
OPPOSITE THREE, INSTEAD OF
OPENING UP THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION SHUT DOWN
ENERGY EXPLORATION, FOUR DID
NOT TOUCH PRISON REFORM THE
LIST GOES ON AND ON AND ON.
AND SO YOU CANNOT TAKE CREDIT
FOR THINGS THAT YOU DID NOT
DO.
DO. THAT IS WHAT HE IS TRYING TO
ALLUDE TO HE DIDN’T DO ANY OF
THOSE THINGS BUT THINGS THAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THIS
ADMINISTRATION DID ARE THE
THINGS THAT HAVE PREPARED
PROPELLED ECONOMY NOT ECONOMY
PRESIDENT TRUMP INHERITED.
>> HE SAID WHAT DOES HE HAVE A
MAGIC WAND QUESTIONING THE
PRESIDENT PROMISING JOB
CREATION BLOOMBERG UNDER
PRESSURE DO YOU THINK HIS
APOLOGY TOUR IS WORKING WITH
BLACK VOTERS.
BLACK VOTERS. >> SOME BUT NOT ALL, AND IT
DEPENDS UPON HOW MUCH THE
MEDIA PUSHES HIS APOLOGY ARE,
FROM SOME OF THE THINGS HE
SAID IN THE PAST.
AND AS I INDICATED EARLIER,
SOME PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
SIMPLY GO WITH THE
CONSERVATIVE WITH ARE
SUPPORTING DONALD TRUMP SIMPLY
BECAUSE IT IS THE FACT THAT
MATTERS AND THE RESULTS THEY
ARE NOT GOING TO APPLY
NEGATIVE NARRATIVE, SO I
BELIEVE THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE
GOING TO ACCEPT THE APOLOGY,
FROM SOME THINGS HE SAID IN
FACT PAST BUT SOME
PEOPLE SIMPLY ARE NOT GOING TO
ACCEPT IT.
ACCEPT IT. >> WE WILL KEEP WATCHING
HERMAN GREAT TO GET INSIGHTS
THANKS SO MUCH.
