Speaker 1: Ronald brownste in former Los Angeles Times now at the
Speaker 1: National Journal that's the hotline crew a long story entitled
Speaker 1: White Flights. President Obama's path to a second term may
Speaker 1: rely on states shaped by the same social forces that
Speaker 1: he embodies. And what this story does, quite graphically is
Speaker 1: illustrate that our man child president of color not only
Speaker 1: has failed to bring us together, he has driven us
Speaker 1: further apart by race, and more specifically, in the Democrat Party,
Speaker 1: it is white Democrats and white independence who have fled
Speaker 1: Obama and the Democrat Party. This story details how Obama
Speaker 1: has lost almost all of his white support, not not all,
Speaker 1: but almost the real team we learned in this story.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you details as the program unfolds, but
Speaker 1: Obama's reelection team is looking at the Colorado Senate race
Speaker 1: that's between Mike Bennett ken Buck. That's their new path
Speaker 1: to victory, which is right through educated white women. That's
Speaker 1: the one white group he hasn't lost. Now, we all
Speaker 1: know that there's been this major push for years and
Speaker 1: years and years to get women in college, and we
Speaker 1: know that most institutions of higher learning the enrollment rates
Speaker 1: female mail and it's continuing in that direction. It's a
Speaker 1: female enrollments going up. Male enrollment is dropping. And while
Speaker 1: this have been going on, UH, girls in college have
Speaker 1: been indoctrinated in the whole concept of the nanny state
Speaker 1: and big government, which comes to him naturally anyway in
Speaker 1: most cases. So that's that's where they're looking that what
Speaker 1: Obama's gonna have to do. Have a story yesterday about
Speaker 1: the abortion rate in New York. I mean maybe I
Speaker 1: still kept it here in this day. It's yeah, I did,
Speaker 1: and it's it's forty one percent of all pregnancies. And
Speaker 1: New is a city or state I have to regardless,
Speaker 1: forty one percent of all pregnancies are aborted, and the
Speaker 1: vast majority of them are black. So when you talk
Speaker 1: about African American we usually you talk about replacement levels
Speaker 1: of population. Uh. And Obama, depending on minority votes, they're
Speaker 1: gonna have to expand It's hello illegal immigration. They're gonna
Speaker 1: have to expand the court to Ronald Brownstein. They're gonna
Speaker 1: have to get even more minority votes in to win
Speaker 1: reelection because they've lost whites. The great Unifiers lost except
Speaker 1: four quote unquote educated white women at New York City,
Speaker 1: not the state. New York City alone forty point sevens
Speaker 1: and number I thought it was forty oh In the state,
Speaker 1: the number thirty eight point seven, thirty eight point seven
Speaker 1: of all pregnancies in the State of New York are aborted.
Speaker 1: Forty one percent in the City of New Yorker abarded,
Speaker 1: the vast majority of the more African American and that's
Speaker 1: that that's fewer Democrat votes, uh, which is something we
Speaker 1: always pointed out. Most abortions in the country are of
Speaker 1: future liberals, and that is one of the reasons why
Speaker 1: they're looking at the illegal immigration amnesty as replacement level
Speaker 1: for Democrat voters. I'm not Maybe I'm trying to be
Speaker 1: funny because I'm a great entertainer, but I'm not. It's
Speaker 1: true political analysis. To avoid all confusion, the number is.
Speaker 1: It's from Catholic Vote dot Org. It is from ABC
Speaker 1: news dot com. It is from the Wall Street Journals.
Speaker 1: Forty one percent of New York City pregnancies and in abortion,
Speaker 1: forty one are Hispanic. This is from ABC News. Four
Speaker 1: to one percent of New York City pregnancies and in abortion.
Speaker 1: The rate for minorities is even higher, and uh says
Speaker 1: here that it raises questions about the effectiveness of current
Speaker 1: birth control education. Education. Really, that's the question it raises,
Speaker 1: is that the question. It rates forty one per cent
Speaker 1: of all New York City pregnancies in an abortion and
Speaker 1: ABC says, even though it's new and eye opening statistics,
Speaker 1: it raises questions about the effectiveness of current birth control education.
Speaker 1: That's the question when you hear that New York pregnancies
Speaker 1: are aborted, that's the question that you ask yourself, Well,
Speaker 1: they are not really be having trouble with their birth
Speaker 1: control education. What is their birth control education? Condoms, cucumbers?
Speaker 1: I kid you not, that's what their birth control education is.
Speaker 1: People have come along and say, why don't you try absence?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, right, yeah, just say no, that's right.
Speaker 1: This absence works every time it's tried. Well yeah, well,
Speaker 1: easy for you to say, well, what's wrong. If it
Speaker 1: works for you, why could it work for somebody else? Well,
Speaker 1: kids are gonna have six anyway. He just can't stop them. Okay,
Speaker 1: So then of all pregnancies, any abort shouldn't be a surprise. Well, yees,
Speaker 1: Smiffer Limbaud is the for pride? Well, why and the
Speaker 1: kids are gonna have sex? Is it shouldn't the question
Speaker 1: be uh twofold? What hey? Why? Why are so many? Well,
Speaker 1: the real question is who's making all the money off
Speaker 1: off these abortions, and our guarante either all leftists planned
Speaker 1: parenthood and then the rate for minorities is even higher.
Speaker 1: Both sides say the high abort percentages at crisis. Both
Speaker 1: sides um a lot of us who felt it the
Speaker 1: crisis for a long long time. The rate for minorities
Speaker 1: even higher. If forty one percent this is New York
Speaker 1: Archbishop Timothy Dolan. If New York babies are aborted, with
Speaker 1: the percentage even higher in the Bronx and among African
Speaker 1: American babies, it's downright chilling. Broken down by race, for
Speaker 1: two thousand nine, Blacks fifty nine point eight percent of
Speaker 1: all pregnancies aborted in New York City. Sixty percent of
Speaker 1: all Black pregnancy is aborted, Hispanics forty one point three percent,
Speaker 1: Asians twenty two point seven percent abortion rate. Non Hispanic
Speaker 1: whites twenty point four percent abortion rate. That's the lowest
Speaker 1: of the groups, so it's well around them, up fifty
Speaker 1: six for Blacks, Hispanics twenty three percent, Asians, whites. The
Speaker 1: fact that of all pregnancies in New York City into
Speaker 1: abortion is not a secret and it's not anything new.
Speaker 1: This is ABC. In fact, things have been getting better
Speaker 1: over the past ten years. Back in years ago the
Speaker 1: number was actually forty six. Planned Parenthood is also not
Speaker 1: happy about the numbers, that is b S. But they
Speaker 1: push education. We we believe in comprehensive sex education, which
Speaker 1: by the way, does include absidence. But absidence by itself
Speaker 1: has been proven to be ineffective. All shut up. What
Speaker 1: kind of a statement is that Archbishop Dolan reiterated the
Speaker 1: pro absidence, pro life have a contraceptive position at the church.
Speaker 1: My word, what have we done in the last thirty years.
Speaker 1: There's candy balls on people's desks with condoms, they're dropping
Speaker 1: them from airplanes, yet nothing seems to improve. So they've
Speaker 1: been on the wrong track there. Now there's a story
Speaker 1: from two thousand nine that seems relevant all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: And this story is from the Cybercast News Service headline
Speaker 1: abortion kills more Black Americans than the seven leading causes
Speaker 1: of deaths combined. And then this is from the Senators
Speaker 1: for Disease Control in Atlanta. Abortion kills more Black Americans
Speaker 1: than the seven leading causes of death combined. According to data.
Speaker 1: This is from two thousand five, the latest year for
Speaker 1: which the abortion numbers are available. Abortion killed at least
Speaker 1: two hundred four thousand Blacks in thirty six states and
Speaker 1: two cities, New York and d C that re ported
Speaker 1: abortions by race in two thousand four, according to the government.
Speaker 1: During that same year, according to the government, a total
Speaker 1: of two hundred thousand blacks nationwide died from heart disease, cancer, strokes, accidents, diabetes, homicide,
Speaker 1: and chronic lower respiratory diseases combined. These were the seven
Speaker 1: leading causes of death which takes us that's here here
Speaker 1: the numbers. Sixty percent of blacks New York City Black
Speaker 1: pregnancies are aborted, and abortion kills more Black Americans than
Speaker 1: the seven leading causes of death combined. White flight, Ronald
Speaker 1: Brownstein the National Journal. By any standard, white voters rejection
Speaker 1: of Democrats in November's elections was daunting and even historic. Fully,
Speaker 1: sixty percent of whites nationwide backed Republican candidates for the House,
Speaker 1: only thirty even percent supported Democrats, according to the National
Speaker 1: Election Poll Exit Poll conducted by Edison Research. Not even
Speaker 1: in the Republicans ninety four congressional landslide. Did they win
Speaker 1: that high a percentage of the white vote? Moreover, those
Speaker 1: results may understate the extent of the white flight from
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party. According to a National Journal analysis of
Speaker 1: previously unpublished exit poll data provided by Edison Research. The
Speaker 1: new data show that white voters not only strongly preferred
Speaker 1: Republican House and Senate candidates, but also registered deep disappointment
Speaker 1: with Obama's performance, hostility towards the cornerstones of the current
Speaker 1: Democrat agenda, and widespread skepticism about the expansive role for
Speaker 1: Washington embedded in the Democrat Party priorities. There is a genuine,
Speaker 1: huge white flight away from liberalism. State is m leftism,
Speaker 1: Obama is whatever you want to g Because none of this,
Speaker 1: very little of this white flight went to the Republican
Speaker 1: Party because they were the Republicans. They went there because
Speaker 1: they weren't the Democrats. That's not a putdown, is it
Speaker 1: something everybody needs to realize right now? Particularly the political context.
Speaker 1: The question then becomes, right, how do you hold them
Speaker 1: if they If this large a number of people is
Speaker 1: abandoning the Democrat Party, how do you keep them away
Speaker 1: from the Democrat Party. Well, first thing, you don't do
Speaker 1: anything the Democrat Party is doing. So you do not
Speaker 1: do anything to grow government. You do not do anything
Speaker 1: to expand or increased debt. You don't do anything that
Speaker 1: imposes limits further limits on liberty or freedom. It's very simple,
Speaker 1: sitting on a gold mine of opportunity. Here. Take the
Speaker 1: racial component. I mean, it's interesting that white voters are fleeing,
Speaker 1: but they're the largest blocks. So just figure huge numbers
Speaker 1: of voters. Obviously we know there's the election return fled
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party and there and and because its exit
Speaker 1: poll data, we know why. It was about Obama. It
Speaker 1: was about his policies. It was about what the Democrat
Speaker 1: Party stands for. It wasn't marketing or packaging, it wasn't
Speaker 1: the wrong words being used. It was totally based on
Speaker 1: substance each one of these questions. On each of these questions,
Speaker 1: minority voters expressed almost the exact opposite view from whites,
Speaker 1: which explains why every Black Democrat candidate in the House
Speaker 1: won re election. White voters deep disappointment Obama's performance, not
Speaker 1: so with black voters. White voters hostility towards the cornerstone
Speaker 1: of the current cornerstones health care, deficit, spending, government control,
Speaker 1: white flight, Black voters like that stuff. Widespread skepticism about
Speaker 1: the expansive role of Washington embedded in the party's priorities,
Speaker 1: sends white people away from the Democrat Party, keeps black
Speaker 1: voters with the Democrat Party. How much can change in
Speaker 1: two years, hopes Mr Brownstein, As Obama's own post two
Speaker 1: thousand eight, obyessely demonstrates. But these results, however, could carry
Speaker 1: profound implications. They suggest that economic recovery alone may not
Speaker 1: solve the president's problems with many of the white voters
Speaker 1: who stampeded toward the Republican Party last year. Economic recovery
Speaker 1: alone may not solve It comes down to those uh
Speaker 1: the voters a skeptical of the expansion of government. So
Speaker 1: the veteran Republican strategist, the voters who went with Obama
Speaker 1: two thousand eight did not know all what they were
Speaker 1: going to get with that vote. And that's true. Time
Speaker 1: to finally admit this that was a that was that
Speaker 1: was an optics vote, that was he was a vote
Speaker 1: of vote, and finally eliminate this mestige of slavery by
Speaker 1: showing we're not racist by electing the first black president
Speaker 1: didn't work. And now that they've seen the healthcare bill,
Speaker 1: stimulus build, the bailout, the cap and trade proposal, issue
Speaker 1: after issue, voters don't like what they see. Now that
Speaker 1: resistance couldn't turn increase the pressure on Obama to accelerate
Speaker 1: the generation along transformation of the Democratic electoral coalition that
Speaker 1: he pushed forward in two thousand eight. Was so much
Speaker 1: of the white electorate, especially working class whites, dubious about
Speaker 1: Obama's direction. To win a second term, he will likely
Speaker 1: need to increase turnout and improve his showing among the
Speaker 1: groups that keyed his two thousand eight victory, minorities, young people,
Speaker 1: and women. In twelve, Obama may be forced to build
Speaker 1: his electrical college map more around swing states where those
Speaker 1: voters are plentiful. Colorado, it's a test case. Democrats are
Speaker 1: looking at it, North Carolina, even Arizona, and last on
Speaker 1: predominantly blue collar and white states like Ohio and Indiana
Speaker 1: that he captured in two thousand and eight. Question is
Speaker 1: can they how do they? How are they gonna do that?
Speaker 1: How are they gonna guess what they stand for? How
Speaker 1: are they? And with these abortion numbers. And I know
Speaker 1: this is New York, but folks, you have to figure
Speaker 1: that that the percentage is probably pretty much the same
Speaker 1: around the country. Democrats have to seriously be worried here
Speaker 1: because they're few your voters are being killed in the womb.
Speaker 1: I mean in huge both Hispanic and black. She was
Speaker 1: sixty percent of all New York City African American pregnancies
Speaker 1: are aboarded. So anyway, this this is a very it's
Speaker 1: a long piece. I've given you some of the highlights here.
Speaker 1: Here's what axel Rods counting on. By the way, this
Speaker 1: is again from the piece. More specifically and perhaps more revealingly,
Speaker 1: David axel Rod also has his eye on the Colorado
Speaker 1: example Michael Bennett, where the exit poll found that Bennett
Speaker 1: lost blue collar white women by double digits and blue
Speaker 1: collar white men by more than two to one. Yet
Speaker 1: he prevailed by amassing strong support from young people, Hispanics,
Speaker 1: and other minorities, holding his depth. So I want to
Speaker 1: prepare you that in axel Rods running a re election
Speaker 1: campaigner along with with Gibbs. So what they're saying is
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to go out and get more minorities
Speaker 1: blacks and women. How are they gonna do it well?
Speaker 1: By virtue of the details in this piece, They're gonna
Speaker 1: have to go out and basically promised communism that this
Speaker 1: is gonna be fun to see because people assuming that
Speaker 1: they're far left wings leftists, socialists is what has driven
Speaker 1: all the independence and whites away from Obama who did
Speaker 1: vote for him. And now they have decided the only
Speaker 1: way they're gonna win reelection is by getting more minorities
Speaker 1: to vote, more young people. Can you imagine if they
Speaker 1: believe that, if that holds true, what this campaign shaping
Speaker 1: up to be. They're gonna have to be bluntly open
Speaker 1: and honest. I mean, you think class warfare rhetoric has
Speaker 1: been an Now it's gonna worse. It's gonna get bad.
Speaker 1: Is gonna get worse now. All the traditional Democrat attacks
Speaker 1: on achievement success going to get even worse now in
Speaker 1: order to make sure they got enough votes. The factor
Speaker 1: in all the potential voters being aborted out there, it's wow,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting if this, If this stuff all
Speaker 1: holds true, and it's politics, things can chase over change overnight.
Speaker 1: But it sounds to me like this is a recipe
Speaker 1: for a landslide defeat folks. Now, the real question, it's
Speaker 1: the question that's answer to the to which is known,
Speaker 1: but it's in its rhetoric. It's still is interesting to me.
Speaker 1: The whole Ronald Brown's name pieces on white flight six
Speaker 1: of white fleeing because of X, Y and Z. Well,
Speaker 1: when you read why they're fleeing, it's pretty bad stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's harmful to America's we've known that.
Speaker 1: The real question is why are the minorities hanging around?
Speaker 1: Why are the Blacks and Hispanics and the other minorities
Speaker 1: sticking with the Democrat Party. I know the number six
Speaker 1: white flight, that's a big number, but it's so big
Speaker 1: you might want to say, well, why that's not unusual,
Speaker 1: that's kind of sensible. What is it about these others
Speaker 1: that's making them hang in there? And of course the
Speaker 1: answers the welfare state, which is by design. But it's
Speaker 1: heartwarming to know that the welfare state has not captured
Speaker 1: a majority of the uh dreams and thinking of the country.
