political Playbook co-author Rachel bade welcome to all of you and Donna I want to start with you uh about Trump's comments on Friday night to a room full of black voters a room full of black conservatives and we all know they are you know about five to 10% of the black uh population uh is comprised of black conservatives but Martha I have to tell you this is Black History M it's the history that we've all made As Americans a history that we share and a future that we all want to see together um no one that I've heard from or no one that I understand wants to go back to Donald Trump go back to the past go back to the train wreck the division and the chaos so it's the history that we not only share but the history that we want to make together and under Donald Trump we didn't make a lot of black history R prus did you consider those comments racist he wasn't on the teleprompter I I don't know uh look I I remember back in 16 when President Trump went in to say hey what the hell do you have to lose and I was the one saying oh no we can't say it like that we and you know it turned out that he did better in the black community in 2016 than a lot of previous presidents and today if you look at the polling he's looking at recent polling about 22% uh in the black community in the seven Battleground States um his record whether it be the first step act whether it be pardoning Alice Johnson uh whether it be Unemployment uh was pretty good and I think uh black voters are very open to Donald Trump and one of the biggest movers to the Republican Party are black men under 40 and then on the other side you've got Joe Biden com just recently said that you ain't black if you if you want to support uh Donald Trump uh he referred to a black reporter and asked the black reporter whether the black reporter was a junkie I mean the things he said about Barack Obama which were ridiculous I mean who who said about Barack Obama Donald Trump Jo Biden said what did he say I don't even want to repeat what your B said this is not a conversation about whether or not who has a record okay because we know Donald Trump's record this is about the future and what Donald Trump said was racist tropes and it's insulting and demeaning to basically go to black people and say oh don't you like the fact that I have 91 convictions don't you want to see this mug shot hell no we want freedom and Justice and equality like anybody else I don't for the record I don't disagree these things that are said are not helpful they're distractions I think the part of it is he's trying to be entertaining I don't disagree however what I also see are the facts and the facts are that 22% of black voters in America like what he's saying like what he stands for and likes him as a candidate so that's something you're going your side's going to have to deal with I I would just add that how much of this how much of this
