Voters TORCH 'washed up' Obama ahead of elections 'He let this country down' · THE DAILY BRIEF

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, some New Jersey voters are saying they were absolutely
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: not moved by former President Barack Obama's visit to the
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Garden State on Saturday. Some are telling Fox Digital Obama's
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: eleventh hour campaigning for gubernatorial candidate Mikey Cheryl seemed like
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the Democrats were throwing a Hail Mary to win what's
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: now become a close race.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: We're done here in Barack Obama try to tell us
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: how we're supposed to boot.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: He let his country down, but especially let down a
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: lot of African Americans, So we really don't want to
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: hear him tell us how we're supposed to move.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Usually when they bring in Obama and the washups hate
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: to say some of the washups, usually that means they're desperate.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: The wash ups.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Well, some New Jersey Democrats say their vote is their
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: way of standing up to President Trump.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Your thoughts, you know, it's really interesting to watch President
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: Barack Obama. Look, it's normal for past presidents to be
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: quiet and kind of let things play out, and you know,
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: certainly don't blame him for taking that approach, but he
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: tries to be on the right side of the issues
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: within his party. On background to reporters, and I've noticed
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: this trend. We were all sitting together at the R
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: and C when the New York Times headline pop Wthington
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: post headline, I should say, Obama tells allies Biden's path
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: to winning reelection has greatly diminished, according to multiple people
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: who are briefed on the matter, so he essentially unleashed
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: his allies to release that headline. It's typically how it works. Well,
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: then all of a sudden Sunday, you get a new headline,
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: this one in the New York Times. Obama calls Mom
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Donnie to praise his campaign, offers to be a sounding board.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: According to two people immediately briefed on the matter, Once again,
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: very likely, President Obama unleashed his team to go background
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: to reporters. So rather than being a bold voice who
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: kind of shapes his party on true social the way
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Trump does, it's hey, he's bold. Nonetheless, he does it
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: to reporters on background, that's my guess. And it's just
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: interesting to watch that takes shape, and you know, nothing
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: wrong with it, but it's just an interesting way to Yeah,
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: you know, Bill, he did that.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: In New Jersey. He did that, and the Commonwealth of Virginia,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and he told Mom Donnie report show just a couple
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: of days ago that you know, basically it also ran.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: So when you get in there, let me know if
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I can support you in any way.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would go back to the original conversation thirty
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: minutes ago about which Democratic members of Congress here in
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: New York endorsed Mama Donna and which ones did not
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: because Obama did not. I mean you said he had
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: a conversation and when he used me as a sounding
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: board and there for you, but he did not offer
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: an endorsement. I think with regard to where he was
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: in New Jersey in Virginia, what I look for is
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: like what town do you choose? What county do you choose?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: He went to Newark, That's Essex County. I mean, it's
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: one of the three highest populated counties in the entire state.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Trying to drive the vote out in Virginia, he went
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: to the southeast side, down around the tide Waterhampton Roads
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: area in the Norfolk region. There strong black population there.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: They had two colleges as well, So I mean, maybe
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: maybe they see some weakness right now in that part
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: of the voting public. You want to drive that out
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: a little bit. I mean maybe has something to do
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: with it, but I think the lack of it. I
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: don't understand why the Speaker of the House at Denver
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: got because Akeem Jefferies would endorse Mom Donnie and Obama
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: would not. I just don't get it. One more thing
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: on a throw out there. Kathy Hoko was this event
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: about a week ago, and they were all screaming. She
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: was there for Mom Donnie. They were saying tax the rich.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: She said, I can hear you. And the next day
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: she said, I thought they were saying, let's go bills bill.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: What this one got by me?
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: You know, tax the rich, Let's go bills. I mean
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: it sounds a lot like let's.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Let's go Brandon.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: She needs some like hearing support there. Well, it's interesting
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: because I hadn't gamed out that maybe those are the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: weaker areas, but it makes perfect sense. Maybe Newark also
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: has a high black population. What happened with Obama and
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. He wasn't able to bring her over the
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: threshold because he actually angered black men when he preached
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to them that they didn't love black women if they
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: didn't vote for her. I mean maybe he wasn't the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: guy to send in Martha.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's also interesting just listening to what you're saying, Kaylee,
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: about putting the message out there. You also have George
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: Clooney coming out and saying, you know, the whole Kamala
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: thing wasn't a great idea, and he's the person who
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: lit the fire really under pushing Biden out, and there
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: was a lot of discussion that that was what Obama,
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: you know, sort of released him to do, to say,
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: all right, we're going to pull the legs out from
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: under Joe Biden and figure out if we can do
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: something differently here. It's very interesting to watch this dance
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: with Hakeem Jeffries Schumer. I think it's you know, I
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: don't think anyone really would care either way if he
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: came out and gave an endorsement to Mom Donnie or
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: not at this point. But you see this dance where
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: everyone's you know, you remember that old expression like you
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: can't be a little bit pregnant, right, So it's like,
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: how close are you going to go to Mom Donnie?
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: And you see people trying to weave this line because
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: they don't know is this the way the party is
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: going and do I need to warm up to this
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: branch of the party or can I stay over here
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: like on Fatterman, for example, who's becoming the most interesting
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: Democrat out there, who I'm going to have on the
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: show later today. You know, you can see this sort
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: of dance between these two things. It's very hard to
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: sort of be a little bit socialist.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And I think carrying that it's sort of
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: message discipline over substance. I see it because we don't
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: have anything from Obama in the way of policy articulation
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: or specifics. Right, he's out there at this as this catalyst,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: not really an endorser, and he's essentially saying we'll stay
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: within party lines. But to my earlier point about New
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: York City, well, one, don't the party lines actually be
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Andrew Cuomo. Like, if this was actually President Obama and
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: the policies that I think he supports, it wouldn't be
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: half of these people. But they are so beholden to
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: this radical portion of the party that you know, I
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: am reminded sort of of a fishook that's just drawing
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: them to the side because they failed in the opportunity
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: over these past years to come out and stay with
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: full authority and articulation. This is not us. And again,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: to sound like a broken record from earlier, this is
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: the party like they could have defined those lines earlier
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: and instead allowed themselves to sort of be drawn by it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: And I also see this as frankly an elite echo
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: chamber because without that specificity of policies, he's expecting that
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: by walking on on the stage, someone will say, oh, okay, yes,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: that's how I'm supposed to vote, not realizing that people
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: are actually independent thinkers. And to your point, he represented
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: two people, one who said you're not black if you
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: don't vote for me, and then another that he told
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: them they were racist and misogynistic if they didn't.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Vote for her. How did that go? How did it
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: go when.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: You are told that you are not good enough and
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: not able to think for yourself in your decisions. So
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: I'm sort of curious here because I think strategically it
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: just shows that the Democrat Party is sort of being
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: ruled by the past. Oh well, Obama will fix it.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: You guys made this mess and these policies will destroy you.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: No amount of him will fix it well.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: And Obama in particular because he went so far left.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: He gave the nation Obamacare. He really did carry the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: mantle very early on for the kinds of politics now
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: that are taking over the policy. So maybe in that
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: sense he was the right guy to bring in because
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: he must like it, he said to Zoron, Mom, Donnie
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: call me. I'm right there for you.
• 7:17
