WEBVTT - White Flight and Abortion Could Spell Doom for Democrats’ Future 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.960 Ronald brownste in former Los Angeles Times now at the 0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:09.520 National Journal that's the hotline crew a long story entitled 0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:14.240 White Flights. President Obama's path to a second term may 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:17.840 rely on states shaped by the same social forces that 0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:22.239 he embodies. And what this story does, quite graphically is 0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:27.400 illustrate that our man child president of color not only 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:33.120 has failed to bring us together, he has driven us 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:42.199 further apart by race, and more specifically, in the Democrat Party, 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:47.400 it is white Democrats and white independence who have fled 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:53.400 Obama and the Democrat Party. This story details how Obama 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:57.560 has lost almost all of his white support, not not all, 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:01.280 but almost the real team we learned in this story. 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:03.760 I'm gonna give you details as the program unfolds, but 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:07.640 Obama's reelection team is looking at the Colorado Senate race 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:12.400 that's between Mike Bennett ken Buck. That's their new path 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:16.880 to victory, which is right through educated white women. That's 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:21.559 the one white group he hasn't lost. Now, we all 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.400 know that there's been this major push for years and 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.880 years and years to get women in college, and we 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:31.639 know that most institutions of higher learning the enrollment rates 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:38.360 female mail and it's continuing in that direction. It's a 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:43.080 female enrollments going up. Male enrollment is dropping. And while 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:48.440 this have been going on, UH, girls in college have 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:52.280 been indoctrinated in the whole concept of the nanny state 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.720 and big government, which comes to him naturally anyway in 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:59.160 most cases. So that's that's where they're looking that what 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.320 Obama's gonna have to do. Have a story yesterday about 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.800 the abortion rate in New York. I mean maybe I 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.040 still kept it here in this day. It's yeah, I did, 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:13.679 and it's it's forty one percent of all pregnancies. And 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:18.399 New is a city or state I have to regardless, 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.160 forty one percent of all pregnancies are aborted, and the 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.200 vast majority of them are black. So when you talk 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:27.320 about African American we usually you talk about replacement levels 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:32.240 of population. Uh. And Obama, depending on minority votes, they're 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:35.600 gonna have to expand It's hello illegal immigration. They're gonna 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:37.640 have to expand the court to Ronald Brownstein. They're gonna 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:41.320 have to get even more minority votes in to win 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:46.799 reelection because they've lost whites. The great Unifiers lost except 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:52.239 four quote unquote educated white women at New York City, 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:58.320 not the state. New York City alone forty point sevens 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.360 and number I thought it was forty oh In the state, 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.760 the number thirty eight point seven, thirty eight point seven 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.079 of all pregnancies in the State of New York are aborted. 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.400 Forty one percent in the City of New Yorker abarded, 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.160 the vast majority of the more African American and that's 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:18.680 that that's fewer Democrat votes, uh, which is something we 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:22.200 always pointed out. Most abortions in the country are of 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.919 future liberals, and that is one of the reasons why 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:30.480 they're looking at the illegal immigration amnesty as replacement level 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.120 for Democrat voters. I'm not Maybe I'm trying to be 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.720 funny because I'm a great entertainer, but I'm not. It's 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:39.840 true political analysis. To avoid all confusion, the number is. 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.240 It's from Catholic Vote dot Org. It is from ABC 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.880 news dot com. It is from the Wall Street Journals. 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:52.640 Forty one percent of New York City pregnancies and in abortion, 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:59.880 forty one are Hispanic. This is from ABC News. Four 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.960 to one percent of New York City pregnancies and in abortion. 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:12.560 The rate for minorities is even higher, and uh says 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:16.680 here that it raises questions about the effectiveness of current 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:21.880 birth control education. Education. Really, that's the question it raises, 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:27.360 is that the question. It rates forty one per cent 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.560 of all New York City pregnancies in an abortion and 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:35.240 ABC says, even though it's new and eye opening statistics, 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:40.280 it raises questions about the effectiveness of current birth control education. 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:45.839 That's the question when you hear that New York pregnancies 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.880 are aborted, that's the question that you ask yourself, Well, 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.799 they are not really be having trouble with their birth 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:59.320 control education. What is their birth control education? Condoms, cucumbers? 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:04.120 I kid you not, that's what their birth control education is. 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.800 People have come along and say, why don't you try absence? 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.440 Oh yeah, yeah, right, yeah, just say no, that's right. 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.400 This absence works every time it's tried. Well yeah, well, 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.039 easy for you to say, well, what's wrong. If it 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:17.160 works for you, why could it work for somebody else? Well, 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.719 kids are gonna have six anyway. He just can't stop them. Okay, 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:26.760 So then of all pregnancies, any abort shouldn't be a surprise. Well, yees, 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.040 Smiffer Limbaud is the for pride? Well, why and the 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.719 kids are gonna have sex? Is it shouldn't the question 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:41.840 be uh twofold? What hey? Why? Why are so many? Well, 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:46.520 the real question is who's making all the money off 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:53.520 off these abortions, and our guarante either all leftists planned 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.479 parenthood and then the rate for minorities is even higher. 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:02.760 Both sides say the high abort percentages at crisis. Both 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:07.039 sides um a lot of us who felt it the 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.600 crisis for a long long time. The rate for minorities 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.720 even higher. If forty one percent this is New York 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.760 Archbishop Timothy Dolan. If New York babies are aborted, with 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.880 the percentage even higher in the Bronx and among African 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:25.320 American babies, it's downright chilling. Broken down by race, for 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:29.760 two thousand nine, Blacks fifty nine point eight percent of 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:37.680 all pregnancies aborted in New York City. Sixty percent of 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:47.400 all Black pregnancy is aborted, Hispanics forty one point three percent, 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:54.000 Asians twenty two point seven percent abortion rate. Non Hispanic 0:06:54.279 --> 0:07:01.320 whites twenty point four percent abortion rate. That's the lowest 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:07.719 of the groups, so it's well around them, up fifty 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:16.760 six for Blacks, Hispanics twenty three percent, Asians, whites. The 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.600 fact that of all pregnancies in New York City into 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.520 abortion is not a secret and it's not anything new. 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:26.280 This is ABC. In fact, things have been getting better 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:31.440 over the past ten years. Back in years ago the 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:36.760 number was actually forty six. Planned Parenthood is also not 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:40.600 happy about the numbers, that is b S. But they 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:45.720 push education. We we believe in comprehensive sex education, which 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:48.400 by the way, does include absidence. But absidence by itself 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:51.200 has been proven to be ineffective. All shut up. What 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:58.080 kind of a statement is that Archbishop Dolan reiterated the 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.880 pro absidence, pro life have a contraceptive position at the church. 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:06.040 My word, what have we done in the last thirty years. 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:09.600 There's candy balls on people's desks with condoms, they're dropping 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.320 them from airplanes, yet nothing seems to improve. So they've 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:16.960 been on the wrong track there. Now there's a story 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:20.360 from two thousand nine that seems relevant all of a sudden, 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:27.320 And this story is from the Cybercast News Service headline 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:31.120 abortion kills more Black Americans than the seven leading causes 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:35.160 of deaths combined. And then this is from the Senators 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:40.880 for Disease Control in Atlanta. Abortion kills more Black Americans 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:46.120 than the seven leading causes of death combined. According to data. 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:48.960 This is from two thousand five, the latest year for 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:53.560 which the abortion numbers are available. Abortion killed at least 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:57.760 two hundred four thousand Blacks in thirty six states and 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:00.520 two cities, New York and d C that re ported 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.360 abortions by race in two thousand four, according to the government. 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:08.160 During that same year, according to the government, a total 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:16.160 of two hundred thousand blacks nationwide died from heart disease, cancer, strokes, accidents, diabetes, homicide, 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:21.040 and chronic lower respiratory diseases combined. These were the seven 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:26.880 leading causes of death which takes us that's here here 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:32.000 the numbers. Sixty percent of blacks New York City Black 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:36.720 pregnancies are aborted, and abortion kills more Black Americans than 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:42.720 the seven leading causes of death combined. White flight, Ronald 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:48.319 Brownstein the National Journal. By any standard, white voters rejection 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:53.320 of Democrats in November's elections was daunting and even historic. Fully, 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:58.280 sixty percent of whites nationwide backed Republican candidates for the House, 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:03.480 only thirty even percent supported Democrats, according to the National 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:07.720 Election Poll Exit Poll conducted by Edison Research. Not even 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.360 in the Republicans ninety four congressional landslide. Did they win 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:15.880 that high a percentage of the white vote? Moreover, those 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:19.559 results may understate the extent of the white flight from 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:23.280 the Democrat Party. According to a National Journal analysis of 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:28.080 previously unpublished exit poll data provided by Edison Research. The 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:32.120 new data show that white voters not only strongly preferred 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:37.600 Republican House and Senate candidates, but also registered deep disappointment 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:42.280 with Obama's performance, hostility towards the cornerstones of the current 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:47.720 Democrat agenda, and widespread skepticism about the expansive role for 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:53.760 Washington embedded in the Democrat Party priorities. There is a genuine, 0:10:54.080 --> 0:11:02.600 huge white flight away from liberalism. State is m leftism, 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.400 Obama is whatever you want to g Because none of this, 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.880 very little of this white flight went to the Republican 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:12.480 Party because they were the Republicans. They went there because 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.040 they weren't the Democrats. That's not a putdown, is it 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:19.320 something everybody needs to realize right now? Particularly the political context. 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.240 The question then becomes, right, how do you hold them 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:26.360 if they If this large a number of people is 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:29.120 abandoning the Democrat Party, how do you keep them away 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.679 from the Democrat Party. Well, first thing, you don't do 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.640 anything the Democrat Party is doing. So you do not 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.120 do anything to grow government. You do not do anything 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.360 to expand or increased debt. You don't do anything that 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:46.440 imposes limits further limits on liberty or freedom. It's very simple, 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:52.800 sitting on a gold mine of opportunity. Here. Take the 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:56.760 racial component. I mean, it's interesting that white voters are fleeing, 0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:00.920 but they're the largest blocks. So just figure huge numbers 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:04.040 of voters. Obviously we know there's the election return fled 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:07.640 the Democrat Party and there and and because its exit 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:12.520 poll data, we know why. It was about Obama. It 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.600 was about his policies. It was about what the Democrat 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:20.720 Party stands for. It wasn't marketing or packaging, it wasn't 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.960 the wrong words being used. It was totally based on 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:36.280 substance each one of these questions. On each of these questions, 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:40.720 minority voters expressed almost the exact opposite view from whites, 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:45.080 which explains why every Black Democrat candidate in the House 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:52.160 won re election. White voters deep disappointment Obama's performance, not 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:57.000 so with black voters. White voters hostility towards the cornerstone 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:03.160 of the current cornerstones health care, deficit, spending, government control, 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:10.320 white flight, Black voters like that stuff. Widespread skepticism about 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:13.359 the expansive role of Washington embedded in the party's priorities, 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:17.240 sends white people away from the Democrat Party, keeps black 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:22.480 voters with the Democrat Party. How much can change in 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:27.080 two years, hopes Mr Brownstein, As Obama's own post two 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:31.240 thousand eight, obyessely demonstrates. But these results, however, could carry 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:36.960 profound implications. They suggest that economic recovery alone may not 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:40.600 solve the president's problems with many of the white voters 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:45.200 who stampeded toward the Republican Party last year. Economic recovery 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:50.360 alone may not solve It comes down to those uh 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:54.280 the voters a skeptical of the expansion of government. So 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:58.440 the veteran Republican strategist, the voters who went with Obama 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.600 two thousand eight did not know all what they were 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:04.880 going to get with that vote. And that's true. Time 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:08.040 to finally admit this that was a that was that 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:14.079 was an optics vote, that was he was a vote 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:18.720 of vote, and finally eliminate this mestige of slavery by 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:22.560 showing we're not racist by electing the first black president 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:27.680 didn't work. And now that they've seen the healthcare bill, 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.680 stimulus build, the bailout, the cap and trade proposal, issue 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:34.600 after issue, voters don't like what they see. Now that 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:38.800 resistance couldn't turn increase the pressure on Obama to accelerate 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:43.240 the generation along transformation of the Democratic electoral coalition that 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.520 he pushed forward in two thousand eight. Was so much 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:49.560 of the white electorate, especially working class whites, dubious about 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:54.080 Obama's direction. To win a second term, he will likely 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:59.760 need to increase turnout and improve his showing among the 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:05.800 groups that keyed his two thousand eight victory, minorities, young people, 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:14.200 and women. In twelve, Obama may be forced to build 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:18.360 his electrical college map more around swing states where those 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.960 voters are plentiful. Colorado, it's a test case. Democrats are 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:26.680 looking at it, North Carolina, even Arizona, and last on 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:30.040 predominantly blue collar and white states like Ohio and Indiana 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:32.080 that he captured in two thousand and eight. Question is 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:39.320 can they how do they? How are they gonna do that? 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:44.040 How are they gonna guess what they stand for? How 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.640 are they? And with these abortion numbers. And I know 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:50.720 this is New York, but folks, you have to figure 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:54.600 that that the percentage is probably pretty much the same 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.920 around the country. Democrats have to seriously be worried here 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:02.160 because they're few your voters are being killed in the womb. 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:07.920 I mean in huge both Hispanic and black. She was 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:13.080 sixty percent of all New York City African American pregnancies 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:19.360 are aboarded. So anyway, this this is a very it's 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:23.120 a long piece. I've given you some of the highlights here. 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.800 Here's what axel Rods counting on. By the way, this 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:29.920 is again from the piece. More specifically and perhaps more revealingly, 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.560 David axel Rod also has his eye on the Colorado 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:37.200 example Michael Bennett, where the exit poll found that Bennett 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:40.160 lost blue collar white women by double digits and blue 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.440 collar white men by more than two to one. Yet 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:48.480 he prevailed by amassing strong support from young people, Hispanics, 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:52.120 and other minorities, holding his depth. So I want to 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:55.080 prepare you that in axel Rods running a re election 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:58.840 campaigner along with with Gibbs. So what they're saying is 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.640 they're gonna have to go out and get more minorities 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.840 blacks and women. How are they gonna do it well? 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:10.520 By virtue of the details in this piece, They're gonna 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:16.560 have to go out and basically promised communism that this 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:20.280 is gonna be fun to see because people assuming that 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:26.080 they're far left wings leftists, socialists is what has driven 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:30.480 all the independence and whites away from Obama who did 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:33.040 vote for him. And now they have decided the only 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:36.399 way they're gonna win reelection is by getting more minorities 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:39.800 to vote, more young people. Can you imagine if they 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.159 believe that, if that holds true, what this campaign shaping 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:47.480 up to be. They're gonna have to be bluntly open 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.480 and honest. I mean, you think class warfare rhetoric has 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:52.560 been an Now it's gonna worse. It's gonna get bad. 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:57.520 Is gonna get worse now. All the traditional Democrat attacks 0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:02.800 on achievement success going to get even worse now in 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:07.119 order to make sure they got enough votes. The factor 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:12.840 in all the potential voters being aborted out there, it's wow, 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.560 it's gonna be interesting if this, If this stuff all 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.280 holds true, and it's politics, things can chase over change overnight. 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:24.040 But it sounds to me like this is a recipe 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:28.960 for a landslide defeat folks. Now, the real question, it's 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.600 the question that's answer to the to which is known, 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:34.720 but it's in its rhetoric. It's still is interesting to me. 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:39.280 The whole Ronald Brown's name pieces on white flight six 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:42.239 of white fleeing because of X, Y and Z. Well, 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.959 when you read why they're fleeing, it's pretty bad stuff. 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:48.080 I mean, it's it's harmful to America's we've known that. 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:51.840 The real question is why are the minorities hanging around? 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:56.320 Why are the Blacks and Hispanics and the other minorities 0:18:56.800 --> 0:19:01.240 sticking with the Democrat Party. I know the number six 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:04.400 white flight, that's a big number, but it's so big 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:08.080 you might want to say, well, why that's not unusual, 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.439 that's kind of sensible. What is it about these others 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:12.600 that's making them hang in there? And of course the 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:17.320 answers the welfare state, which is by design. But it's 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:21.760 heartwarming to know that the welfare state has not captured 0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:29.320 a majority of the uh dreams and thinking of the country.
