joining me now Sebastien Gorka fox business national security strategist
former strategist to president Trump and author of the new book coming out
October 9 why we fight recovering America's will to win it's available for
pre-order now the defense attorney Rebecca Rose woodland backed with us
Rebecca your thoughts on the president bravura performance
I thought he was so connected to the people
I thought he clearly speaks in regular language about the progress we're making
as a nation the progress to bring jobs back here which ensures people and hope
in the future for people I mean West Virginia has higher than the national
average on unemployment these people are suffering down there they have the
opioid crisis has at them very hard there's no jobs and he's trying to bring
jobs back to that state and back to our country as a whole and I think it's very
impressive and as Rebecca points out said 32,000 jobs lost in West Virginia
under President Obama this president creating jobs creating also a future for
the people of West Virginia that they had all taken I think as their
birthright and that is energy and coal as being a main mainstay of US energy
policy and an power you're right Lou this speech one of his longer ones
really ran the whole gamut of topics you name it from from China to NATO and
what-have-you but at the end of the day he had that one bumper sticker moment
about November and he said it's about jobs and it's about national security
and we see the news about this illegal immigrant that killed this beautiful 18
year old girl so it's it couldn't be more tragic or more topical but but
you're absolutely correct for these are the jobs these are the people in that
stadium for as many many Americans did that these are the jobs they will never
ever see coming back to America and the stunning thing is Lou it's happened in
the last year and a half just the last year and a half and and again it's about
not just producing for the American people it's about that authenticity and
your guests really hit it there this is a man who however many apartments he has
however many golf courses he owns however rich he is he instantly connects
with that audience and and that's truly remarkable truly remarkable and the
Trump wave he called it the red wave rather than the blue wave that so many
are on the left at least are fantasizing about Rebecca I don't I don't think I've
ever seen and I've covered a lot of presidents going back quite a ways I
will make it to finite I've never seen a president connect with a roomful of
people the way this president does Obama uh as a campaigner was terrific but no
one rises to the level of this man in laying out in plain straightforward
language and very powerful language exactly what he means this is a
president if you can't stand the truth don't pay attention to what this
president is saying because he means what he's saying he's saying what he
means and he doesn't dress it up i he means for the American people to have
that to have power restored to them and that has to cheer every American because
what we're watching in this society now and as we have watched this journey over
the last three or four decades the American people have been cheated first
at the margin and then substantially of their their birthright which is the the
power of the governed to decide who will be governing them and this president
means exactly what he's saying on that issue
he's empowering the Constitution and democracy he's really allowing the
people to come back into their own he's giving people opportunities where there
weren't opportunities opportunities were denying as he said those opportunities
were given to China they were given to other countries
rather than looking at America and saying what can we do here to keep jobs
here what can we do here to keep the economic growth happening here why hand
it all over why not create an equal situation with tariffs why are there
high tariffs for our goods to go out but not for their goods to come in this is
very basic the way I'm speaking but he speaks like that too so he doesn't speak
above anyone but he explains that we need to keep the money here it is so
powerful so when he speaks about tariffs first of all presidents just don't talk
about tariffs presidents haven't believed in tariffs they believed in
this sort of default anti-intellectual support for something so it's just
supercilious as the is the term free trade first of all there's been nothing
free about it trade implies a reciprocity that hasn't existed for
almost a half-century in this country and its trade relationships he talks
about China and and what American car manufacturers deal with and he's exactly
right I used the example of a Chevrolet Camaro being shipped to China yes so you
know a 39 thousand dollar car costs 119 thousand but time to go through the
tariffs the taxes and all of the barriers have been put up above the
Chinese there's nothing free about free trade but the business roundtable the
Chamber of Commerce wall street and the US multinationals oh yes and our good
friends the Koch brothers what have you believed that free trade is exhilarating
and free and an absolute requirement for Prosperity even though it has stripped
this country it's been largely responsible for stripping this country
of our prosperity over the course of the last four decades and in doing so in
discussing these issues that other presidents wouldn't discuss he does it
in a way that any American can appreciate he says you go to Berlin and
you won't see a Chevy Camaro yeah I spent 30-plus years of my life in Europe
there's a reason there aren't American cars on the continent
because the EU has a quadruple tariff on our products and these are the people
who are supposed to be the closest to us our NATO allies our friends in the EU
this is the Revenge of common sense and Americans can understand it and to this
philosophy that we've been buying into for more than 25 years it doesn't matter
it's a globalized economy you can offshore all of these jobs wrong because
you get to a point where you are vulnerable and beholden upon others and
the president unlike that cheesy plastic reset button hilary gave the kremlin the
president is pressing a real reset button economically to say look we're
about trade but it's got to be equitable it's got to be fair and if you don't do
it you know if you do in ways that undermine us and American workers we
will take action and that's exactly what President Trump is doing absolutely
Sebastian Gorka Rebecca rosewood thank you both a big show planned for
tomorrow night here we'll be live for two hours covering president Trump's
rally beginning at 7 p.m. Eastern in West Virginia the president throwing his
support behind Patrick Morrissey and his bid to unseat Joe Manchin in the Senate
will carry the president's remarks in full have reaction of f-words and
throughout joining me now the man of the hour himself West Virginia's
attorney-general Republican Senate candidate Patrick Morrissey and Patrick
good to have you with us how are you feeling tonight what is what does a race
look like I'd say we're feeling very good it's always exciting when the
president United States comes to visit your state and let me tell you a
president Trump is going to be a real difference maker in this Senate race he
enjoys very high approval ratings he's been able to accomplish a great deal in
his short term in office and I think he knows I'm gonna be the conservative
fighter that West Virginia is looking for and we'll be able to help out the
Trump jobs agenda he also knows that Joe Manchin has been cuddling up to all the
radical liberals supporting Hillary Barack Obama has he voted no Louanne
that tax cuts as he is actually and yes he
has in fact it's funny if you look at the issues that matter joe manchin might
try to carve out a reputation as a moderate but he's never going to give a
vote to the president unless it's already locked in so whether you look at
the Trump tax cuts Joe voted no and that's actually very harmful in West
Virginia because we really benefit tremendously from those tax cuts
doubling of the standard deduction think about it it's West Virginia this really
benefits us a lot lowering of the rates the creation of these opportunities owns
somebody really positive things for our state and Joe said no Joe's been on the
wrong side of the second Amendment issues
he supported Planned Parenthood and I think this president knows he's going to
get a strong ally in the US Senate and this is the one place president can
really come in make a big difference we're gonna win this race and we're
gonna help President Trump because he's doing so many good things in DC now he's
doing great things and I think he's going to help you quite a bit as well
let's take a look at some of the cold facts when we talk about West Virginia
and this is something what many people across the country aren't aware of I
think in West Virginia there's acute awareness of this the second largest
state for coal production 79 million tons coal mines 123 of them over the
years over the years under President Obama coal jobs lost because of his anti
coal policies thirty five thousand two hundred jobs that from the Bureau of
Labor Statistics it's it's truly stunning stuff and this president has
been building jobs and building opportunity again for coal miners and
for the coal industry the and the people of West Virginia I don't see how Manchin
can overcome that well though I think if you look at the facts what happened Joe
Manchin supported Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and imported Hillary
after deciding that she was going to put coal miners out of work how does how
does he overcome that I mean that's just overcome it well it's stunning
stuff and I think as voters look at the contrast between Joe Manchin who's with
Hillary after she said she was gonna put coal miners out of work and then look at
my background I'm the guy that led the whole national coalition to take out the
Obama power plan and we won a historic victory at the US Supreme Court over the
Obama administration we served as the bridge to get to the Trump
administration and obviously the president's been doing great things
helping out coal and our energy resources West Virginia is a big energy
state Joe Manchin let us down when he supported Hillary and Barack Obama and I
don't think that he has a good answer for that and the rest of his record
because he's still been more willing to support Chuck Schumer Nancy Pelosi
Hillary than hard-working West Virginians and he certainly is no fan of
the Trump administration because he never gives his vote when it's needed
you know there it was kind of cute there for a while while he would try to sidle
up to the president and tried to convey the idea that he was going to you know
join him in the contract to make America great again
he blew that are you gonna support the president and every aspect of his agenda
to make America great again Patrick look I'm a very strong advocate
behind this president and I'll say why one my question are you gonna support
what we're gonna be we're gonna be absolutely rock-solid strong and that's
the way we need to be and here's why Lou so many great things I
I know you do terrific I just wanted to hear you say thank you because a lot of
candidates out there are trying to make up their minds where they're gonna run
with him or not run with him and we know West Virginia we're with the president
indeed you are Patrick thanks for being with us we appreciate it thanks so much
Patrick moraz you come back thanks so much
