Fox News:特朗普执政下的美国失业率创50年新低(1)

Joining me now for our ladies night, Liz Peek, Jessica Tarlov and Jackie DeAngelis. Welcome to all of you. Great to have you here. Hi, Martha. Obviously, Jackie, let me start with you. First time joining us for this panel. Thanks for being here. You know, the president sounded a little deflate -- deflated for him going out today. But he's trying to get people interested in the economy and the substance of, you know, what's going on in the country. Absolutely. And it was a big jobs number. The expectation was for 89,000. Blew it away. And even the way they were looking at it, him and Larry Kudlow, you could add certain things back in, you could readjust the numbers and it would have even potentially been higher. I was talking to some folks about that today. But the bottom line is, you look at the stock market right now with the Dow over 27,000, the S&P over 3,000. And we are hitting new records every day. You had a Fed that just cut interest rates. This economy is booming. And that's basically the platform he's running on. He wants people to care about it. People I talk to care about it. They open up their 401K app and they say I feel really good about this. Especially when you look at the Democrat candidates and what they are running on, Jessica, does it concern you in terms of that part of this -- you know, how this measures up when people look at the Democratic candidate whoever turns out to be? Well, I think it comes down to what is gonna be the number one issue at the election. In 2016, it was immigration. In 2018, when the Democrats took back the House it was healthcare. Yes. And they're focusing on healthcare first and foremost. You saw Elizabeth Warren today roll out her how I'm gonna pay for Medicare for all plan. But thanks to what happened this week, we all know what this is gonna be about. It's about impeachment.

Every single day that is all you're gonna hear. We hope that there will be a little healthcare sprinkled in there as well. Really? I mean, I can't imagine. This is gonna suck up all the oxygen in the room, Liz, isn't it? I don't think it will be. Because we've got -- we'll do the impeachment process in the House and then you'll have a trial in the Senate and then it will be over. And then we're gonna have a serious campaign. At this point -- So, this is gonna be the one thing that the United States government does efficiently -- Well. -- and it's all going to happen on time and on schedule? No, I don't think will. And by the way, all those senators running for president, all those Democrats, they are gonna be sitting in a trial wondering what happened to their campaigns because Joe Biden is not involved. Yes. So, he is gonna be out campaigning. But look, I think the economy is gonna be the number one issue, always is. Yes, healthcare was briefly in 2018 because the Republicans made such a total mess of it that the Democrats had a real open lane. Yeah. I think the Democrats are gonna make a mess of it in 2020 by insisting on Medicare for all. And this thing Elizabeth Warren came out with today it's total fiction. So, I think we're gonna get back to jobs, people feeling better. Wages up, et cetera. What's fascinating to me is over the last six months, expectations have been so gloomy that one of the reasons the markets are up today is that the third quarter number was better, the jobs number was better, earnings in the third quarter were better. Yeah. Because all the expectations had been set so low by all the people looking for recession.
