september -. >september. each year, these tariffs do not include the 250 billion dollars of goods already under tariff at 25%. radical dim senator chuck schumer, praising the president today. and aligning himself with the president on china. listen to this. >> we have to be really tough on china. they have taken advantage of us, america has lost trillions of dollars and millions of jobs. because china has not played fair. and being tough on china is the right way to be. lou: byron york joining us, chief political correspondent for washington examiner, fox business contributor, to hear chuck schumer lineup with the president on any issue, is

extraordinary and newsworthy, but on issue of trade with china it is important alliance. >> humor has done this before, you are right, this say big deal on anything, any president, not a bad idea to have leader of the opposition in senate on your side. it bodes well. but specifically on china. where trump aattorney parentally has -- apparently has support of the farmers in midwest, they are hurt by this, but they say we've been abused by china for so long, something has to be done. really what you look at complexity of the issue. you look at practices of china over many, many years, this was not going to be easy. so that fact that it is moving on this stage, and there have been fits and starts, and unkept promises, all that stuff was to be expected, but schumer thing very good for president who can claim bipartisan

support. lou: he can claim it, and in fact it is very important in his negotiations with xi jinping. because of -- with democratic party and its leadership, chinese have to understand there will be but one result, that will be the president's position. he won't be second guessed or under cut by main o many of the very same opponents within the democratic party who had under cut him for the first two and a half years of his presidency. >> that is a very important point you raise. this president and american negotiators can say to the chinese, this is not the president of united states all by his lonesome. the democrats or his side, leader of the democrats on his side with this. so if you are thinking about waiting donald trump out and it

will get better, not going to happen. you need to make a deal now. lou: it come as the president was if you will, preparing the battleground, saying to the chinese, that if you are going to wait me out, wait me out. i'ming about to win 2020, i will be here waiting for you, and deal' just get tougher and tougher, the leverage is improving considerably. president has plenty to begin with, but now this a marked improvement. i want to take up the issue of this rally tonight. where the president is going to be, as he always because, talking policy, the initiatives he is driving, and yes politic as well. but now with so much going on whether be federal reserve, the drive to cut interest rates, to deal with the alliance that is enlarging between russia and

china, and all that president is contending with in foreign policy -- this is now the 2020 election writ large in a matter of weeks. >> you know, you just listed a lot of really big and serious issues. you know that a lot of the press coverage tonight about this, will be whether the crowd said send her back again. whether the chant that we heard briefly at the north carolina rally will appear again, president said, he does not want that to happen. you know there is another thing that is really just sitting in plain sight with this, president is drawing big crowds, you mentioned this is 1818,000 seat -- this is an 18 thousand seat arena, if kamala harris or joe biden or bernie sanders were pulling crowds like this it would be a big story. this is the biggest single indicator of incidentty of

donald trump support in 2015 and 16 as the campaign went on. and he appears to go out and do the same thing, getting huge crowds again. lou: having the opportunity to talk with the president earlier today by phone as i indicated, he was very proud of the fact that so many people wanted those tickets. by my count that is about a 5 to 1 ratio. you need a get car to make those -- guitar to make those claims this president has done so from the very moment he began his candacey in 2015. it is a phenomenon. >> it a very big deal to him too. when he was in television, ratings were a big thing, crowd size is important to him. it has been a marker of his bullpepopularity, and everyone s

well. i was in south carolina, a kamala harris rally middle of day in myrtle beach, she got a thousand people there. lou: not bad. >> lunchtime, they came to her rally, a thousand is good, but we're talking multiples of that trump rallies. lou: trump rally and as you say multiples we'll be going to the rally as soon as the president takes the stage, byron, if you will, can you stay with us to take part in the fes fesstive -- festivity as we try to watch what is happening politically with this president and the issues he will take up, always good to have you with us, thanks for being here. >> thank you, lou. lou: one thing we'll take up is the president scoring of the debate last night, all of those democratic hopefuls, and their

>> in 2019, in america, for a democrat to run for president with a plan that does not cover everyone, i think is without excuse. >> mr. vice president, you want to be president of united states, you need to be able to answer the tough questions, i guarantee if you are debating donald trump he will not let you off the hook. >> there are people right now, in prison for life for drug offenses, because you stood up and used that tough on crime phony rhetoric. lou: and parade went on. >> it was -- as much disarray in democratic party that i have seen since mcgovern was nominee in 1972. they have a long way to go before a pick a nominee, they have a different process than republicans have, they have winner take all primaries. you could draw this out for a period of time, it may narrow to

record low unemployment. that is what he talking about right now. in cincinnati. where they benefited from their decision to give 8% margin to the man who became president in 2016. >> lou, i come from a blew collar fam -- blue collar family, i understand that at end of the day there are republicans, certainly democrats who deat don't care about thosed of workers. but president trump does, one thing that i really appreciate about this president, he stood up for those people who don't necessarily want to go to college, they want to be the construction worker, the mechanics, they are taking on good, noble jobs this president is affirming them that is one thing i write about, this president is protecting the backbone was country. >> left wing extremist who reject everything that we hold

dear. no one is paid a higher price for the far left's destructive agenda than the americans living in our nation's inner cities, they are paying a price, you see what happens, we spend billions and billions for years and years, it stolen money, and wasted money. and it is a shame. for decades the communities have been exclusively by democrat politicians. and it has been total, one party control of the intercities. inner-cities, a hundred years, and look at them, we can name one after another but i won't do that. because i don't want to be

controversial. we want no controversy. the democrat record is one of neglect and corruption and decay, total decay, the democrats have tacked and regulated jobs, and opportunities out of these cities. out of existence. they have squeezed the blood out of them. left wing mayor -- lou: president trump does not want to be controversial. and he is actually being eironic but following thatting i suggesd that he is somewhat constrained but getting his point across, he is not backing off about baltimore about the failed

leadership in dozens of american cities. failed democratic leadership. and need for them to make a change. >> i wrote about this in my column on fox news.com. that at end wa of the day, haveu these cities, los angeles, where they deal with disease that goes to middle ages, you have san francisco turned t to a -- cesspool of human waste. and baltimore, for 50 years democrat controlled baltimore, what is the result, it is a third world situation. lou: president is taking up immigration. >> 21,000 soldiers on the border right now. i'm starting to like mexico a lot, they do a lot more for us than the democrats do, right? a lot more.

the numbers of way down, you will see, that way away down. democrat lawmakers care more about illegal aliens than they care about their own constituents, they put foreign citizens before american citizens. we're not going do that. 572 people were murdered in chicago last year. [ booing ] lou: one of the many lines he talks about democrats doing more for american. , i mean the mexican government doing more than americans than democrats. stunning stuff. >> it is true.

lou: it is true. >> that is it, this man who did not get memo or take memo that forbids you from talking about the fai democratic policy, he says they don't care about their own constituents, look at baltimore and chicago and los angeles, and san francisco. and denver now. these cities. detroit, et cetera, you have people -- >> let me interrupt. president is waiting, there is a demonstrator in the crowd. >> oh. >> they are chanting. their way through this. president, taking it in stride. or pacing. dependdepending. >> yes that is what they have been reduced to, just yelling at him, in meantime he changes everyone's live for better, finally, we have a president who is selling political establishment and media establishment, that not talking about the destruction of the

inner-city i the problem. not talks about the individual lives are more and more hopeless because of the liberal policies. and latest is allowed to continue, by looking away, he does not look away. this is also part of what he represents. the forgotten man and woman, if there was -- it people in baltimore and chicago, people of new york and los angeles. lou: the president today speaking earlier, let's listen to that as we wait for the protester to perhaps exit the arena. >> the rage filled democrat party is trying to tear america apartmenapart. democrat party is now lead by four left wing extremist who

reject everything that we hold dear. no one is paid a higher price for the far left, destructive agenda than americans living in our nation's inner-cities, they have paid a dear price, you see what is happening, you see our inner-cities we spend billions and billions for years and years and years, and it is stolen money, it wasted money. it is a shame. >> last year it was 16 billion from the federal government from baltimore. todd this is failed leadership, empirical, it is in the fails of everyone to look at this what is happened. to once great city, baltimore, but now happening in cities across the country. >> well, it is. my hometown, memphis, tennessee, suffering same fate as many communities, what is common

denam -- denominate or, memphis is run by democrats. we hear from members of community, say they appreciate president trump calling this out, shining a light on something that needs to be discussed. lou: to me, it is stunning that we have to have a light, that president had to focus on this. we have a war on poverty in it nation for last 54 years, we have sthehave -- like baltimore devastated. >> it is concerning to think about it maybe that was a destruction -- distraction. how much money has been spent on war of poverty, while everyone was looking away. lou:l let's be clear, it is leftist national media that are fuserefused to look at what is before them, and support a false narrative or as president puts

it, fake news. let's listen here. >> broke the all-time record. so. the homicide rate in baltimore is significantly higher than el salvador, honduras, guatemala, i believe higher than give my a place. that you think is pretty bad. give me a place. the guy said afghanistan. i believe it is higher than afghanistan. in our country. think of that, i believe we'll check numbers, if we're wrong they will tell us tomorrow, it will be a headline, trumpicage exaggerated, i do believe that rate is higher than afghanistan. yet democrats. want to spend hundreds of billions of dollars, on illegal

migrants instead of supporting their own struggling communities, no good. hno good. the conditions in nancy pelosi's once great city of san francisco are deplorable. do you remember the world demore able? -- the word demor deplorable. do you remember what hillary used that word, she used deplorable and irredeemable right? i said, what a terrible mistake she used that word irr irredeem. it turned out to be deplorable, that was not a good day for hillary, crooked hillary, she is a crooked one, crooked.

she is crooked . nearly half of all homeless people living in the streets in america, happen to live in the state of california. what they are doing to our beautiful california is a disgrace to our country, it is a shame. the world is looking at it, look at los angeles, with the tents, and the horrible, disgusting conditions. look at san francisco, look at some of your other cities, and then you have a governor, you have a governor. that invites the whole world to

come to california, we'll pay your 4 healt -- we'll pay for yr he'lhealth care, you wonder whyo many team are coming up, you have people like that governor, say come, we'll give you health care, come on, who would not come up? how crazy is this. >> how crazy is this? school, healthcare, today, i simp patrosimple proposal for dt leaders to is up certificate suo end illegal mi migration and wel use the vast savings to rebuild our inner-cities, that is what we should be doing. by the way, you know they keep talking about the voters,

voters, they. want security. what about a thing called voter i.d.? voter identification? lou: for fact checkers. my fact checkers in control room tell me that afghanistan murders 66 -- 6 for 100,000, in baltimoe 56, back to the president. >> wow. >> voter i.d. they give you everything they can give you, except like voter i.d. and things that matter, republicans believe that a nation would care for its own citizens first, our pledge to america's workers has secured commitment to train more than 12 million americans, for the jobs of tomorrow.

you know who working very hard on that, probably never heard of her, ivanka trump. [cheers and applause] she is working very hard. she gave up a lot. she had a very easy life. over 12 million people that teaching them. great companies of our country, that teaching people. how to do it. it is an incredible them to watch, to give former pris or ps a second chance of life, we pass ground breaking criminal justice reform that nobody could have passed, except us. president obama tried, a lot of them tried, they could not get to passed, i got it passed. a lot of help pro-- from

liberals and conservatives, biggest beneficiary is the african-american community. bibiggest beneficiary. [cheers and applause] we doubled the child tax credit, created 9,000 opportunities zones. in distress communities.

you okay? it's a stunning performance by this president to focus on all that's happening in this country joining chuck schumer in alignment with the president against china. by the way, the president aligned with the government of mexico. this fellow can't be too much of a quote-unquote racist. in point of fact embracing mexico, its president, its government because of all the

help they are providing america, acknowledging it, and doing so warmly. the president is against the illegality. he's for law and order. >> after the debates we see this pulling away from the values of the american people. maybe his reaction is they need to find some kind of common ground for the president. i think that's a good combination. >> i think the president is leading as we couldn't ask a lead tore do more than what this president is doing to bring people together in point of fact. >> you are absolutely right. i suspect the democrats are looking at their numbers seeing this president is making inroads into minority community and black voters are beginning to understand this president cares about the plight of minorities.

lou: the reality is this president has always asserted the leadership that was not republican in point of fact. it was not traditional in the traditional sense. but he's american in a strong traditional sense, keenly supportive and protective our heritage, our values, our nation and what it means to be an american. there is an opportunity here for the democrats. whether any of the 24 candidates who would like to oppose him in 2020.

they might consider what happens as we hook at chuck schumer lining up on the issue of china. we thank you for being with us on this hour. good night from new york. david: president trump holding a rally in cincinnati, ohio. and hitting the democrats right off the bat. president trump: i was watching the so-called debate last night and i also watched the night before, that was long, long television. and the democrats spent more time attacking barack obama than they did attacking me practically. david: "the next revolution" host steve hilton and britt mchenry are here tonight on that. the battle over baltimore heating up.
