THE MARKET LIKES THAT.
AT 33.
>>> MY EDITORIAL AT THE TOP OF
THE HOUR, I WAS SAYING DEMOCRATS
RUNNING FOR 2020, THEY HAVE A
COUPLE THINGS IN COMMON.
NUMBER ONE THEY'RE UTTERLY
CONTEMPTUOUS OF PRESIDENT TRUMP
AND THEY HAVE FAR LEFT POLICIES.
ANDY PUZDER, FORMER CKE
RESTAURANT CEO AND AUTHOR OF THE
BOOK, "THE CAPITALIST COMEBACK
QUOTE.
I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY POLITICAL
PARTY MOVING SO FAR IN ONE
DIRECTION THAN THE DEMOCRATS ARE
MOVING RIGHT NOW.
WHERE AM I GOING NOW?
>> YOU'RE NOT WRONG.
GEORGE MCGOVERN WOULD BE
CONSERVATIVE IN THE GROUP.
IT IS A VERY LIBERAL GROUP OF
PEOPLE.
THE MANTRA FOR 2020, PRESIDENT
TRUMP IS FIGHTING FOR AMERICA,
WHETHER BORDER SECURITY, TRADE
FOR CHINA, TRADE FOR THE EU,
NORTH KOREA, ECONOMY, WORKING
CLASS JOBS.
HE IS FIGHTING FOR AMERICA AND
AMERICANS.
ALL THE DEMOCRATS ARE DOING IS
FIGHTING THE PRESIDENT.
THEY HAVE GOT NOTHING ELSE GOING
ON.
THESE PEOPLE ARE AT THE CENTER
OF THAT UPROAR, OF THAT FIGHT.
LOOK, IF YOU CAN'T WIN THE
ELECTION WITH THAT, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU CAN WIN THE ELECTION
WITH.
STUART: IT COULD BE VERY
POPULAR.
I MEAN, PEOPLE, WILL SAY, FREE
COLLEGE, THAT THAT IS A GOOD IDE
COLLEGE, THAT THAT IS A GOOD ID.
HEALTH CARE FOR ALL, MEDICARE
FOR ALL, THAT IS A GREAT IDEA.
IT WOULD BENEFIT FROM ME.
MORE THAN HALF THE POPULATION
WOULD BENEFIT, DIRECTLY FROM,
EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT RUIN THE
ECONOMY.
THAT IS A HARD ARGUMENT TO GO
AGAINST, ISN'T IT?
I CAN SEE HOW IT WOULD BE
POPULAR.
>> IT'S A HARD ARGUMENT TO GO
AGAINST.
THE PEOPLE MAKING THESE
PROPOSALS DOESN'T HAVE A GRASP
ON THE FACTS.
ANY ONE OF THOSE POLICY
PROPOSALS CAN BE EASILY REFUTED
BY REPUBLICANS OR CONSERVATIVES
WHO STICK IN THE FACTS, STICK TO
REALITY.
POINT TO COUNTRIES LIKE
VENEZUELA, NORTH KOREA, CUBA,
AND THEIR ECONOMIES.
THESE ARE THE KIND OF PROPOSALS
THAT DESTROY ECONOMIC GROWTH.
I WISH THE SOCIALISTS ALL THE
SOCIALIST CANDIDATES AS BERNIE
SANDERS AND ALEXANDRIA
OCASIO-CORTEZ WOULD STOP
FOCUSING ON THESE RIDICULOUS
ECONOMIC POLICIES AND FOCUS ON
THINGS THEY'RE GOOD AT LIKE
DANCING.
THIS IS NOT THEIR STRENGTH.
THEIR STRENGTH IS NOT ECONOMIC
POLICY.
I THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL
SEE THROUGH THIS.
STUART: A LITTLE SARCASTIC
THERE, ANDY.
>> I REALLY LOVED THAT VIDEO.
I FELT BETTER WHEN I WATCH IT.
SHE IS ACTUALLY VERY TALENTED.
SHE IS NOT VERY GOOD ON ECONOMIC
ISSUES.
STUART: YOU'RE STILL BEING
SARCASTIC BUT OKAY, WE'LL MOVE
ON.
ONE MUCH THE PROPOSALS FROM
BERNIE SANDERS HAS ALWAYS BEEN
$15 PER HOUR FEDERAL MINIMUM
WAGE BUT YOU HAVE AN ARTICLE,
FOXNEWS.COM THAT SAYS, LOOK,
THAT PROPOSAL IS IRRELEVANT
BECAUSE OF TRUMP'S PRO-GROWTH
POLICIES.
EXPLAIN.
>> WELL, ALL YOU GOT TO DO THINK
BACK TO 2014 WHEN PRESIDENT
OBAMA WAS PROPOSING A MINIMUM
WAGE OF 10.10 AN HOUR.
WAGES WERE STAGNANT.
ECONOMY WAS STAGNANT.
HE HAD NO POLICIES THAT WOULD
INCREASE WAGES SO HE WANTED TO
INCREASE WAGES.
THEY CAME OUT WITH THE THAT IT
WOULD KILL 500,000 JOBS.
IT IS A BAD IDEA.
AFTER TWO YEARS OF PRESIDENT
TRUMP, LOWER TAXES ENCOURAGING
DOMESTIC ENERGY AND LOWER
REGULATIONS.
I DON'T THINK PEOPLE WOULD
NOTICE IF WE WAGE THE MINIMUM
WAGE 10.10 AN HOUR.
DRIVE DOWN THE STREET, RETAIL
ESTABLISHMENTS THEY'RE TRYING TO
GET EMPLOYEES FOR $10, $11, $12
AN HOUR.
HERE IN TENNESSEE, THE MINIMUM
WAGE IS 7.25, YOU CAN'T GO BY
PLACE THAT ISN'T TRYING TO HIRE
PEOPLE AT 7.25 AN HOUR.
MINIMUM WAGE IS IRRELEVANT.
CONTINUE WITH THE ECONOMIC BOOM.
BY 2024 WHEN THEY'RE PROPOSING
GETTING THE WAGE TO $15 AN HOUR,
IT MIGHT ALREADY BE THERE
BECAUSE OF DOMESTIC ECONOMIC
GROWTH.
THEY JUST NEED TO GET OUT OF THE
WAY AND FOCUS WHAT THEY'RE GOOD
AT, NOT WHAT THEY DON'T
UNDERSTAND.
