>> THIS WEEK ON TO THE CONTRARY: THE 45TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES DONALD TRUMP GETS GOING ON HIS AGENDA.
HOW WILL HIS FIRST 100 DAYS IMPACT WOMEN AND GIRLS IN AND DIVERSE COMMUNITIES IN THE U.S. AND AROUND THE WORLD?
HELLO, I'M BONNIE ERBE.
WELCOME TO TO THE CONTRARY, A DISCUSSION OF NEWS AND SOCIAL TRENDS FROM DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES.
UP FIRST THE GREAT DIVIDE.••.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP REPORTEDLY HAS AN AGGRESSIVE AGENDA FOR THE FIRST 100 DAYS OF HIS.
ADMINISTRATION.
IT'S AN AGENDA THAT COULD HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON WOMEN AND GIRLS IN THE U.S. AND AROUND THE WORLD.
IT INCLUDES CHANGES IN HEALTHCARE, IMMIGRATION, TAX, AND ENVIRONMENTAL AND REGULATORY POLICIES.
HOW WILL THE AMERICANS BE IMPACTED?
A POLL OUT THIS WEEK FINDS TRUMP VOTERS VERY SUPPORTIVE BUT THE GENERAL PUBLIC LESS ENTHUSIASTIC.
LET'S START WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE PRIORITY NUMBER ONE, REPEALING AND REPLACING OBAMACARE.
85% OF TRUMP VOTERS CONSIDER IT EXTREMELY OR VERY IMPORTANT.
ONLY 44% OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC AGREES.
>> WELL FIRST OF ALL ITS NOT JUST DEMOCRATS.
THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS REALLY WANT TO PRESERVE THEIR HEALTHCARE.
THEY WANT TO PRESERVE THEIR-- WOMEN WANT TO PRESERVE THEIR RIGHTS; THEIR ACCESS TO CONTRACEPTION TO HEALTH CARE AND WHEN NECESSARY TO ABORTION SERVICES.
THEY ARE JUST NOT GOING TO TAKE US BACK TO THE ALLEYS TO THE DARK AGES.
YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ABORTIONS ARE AT THEIR LOWEST NUMBERS.
TEEN PREGNANCIES ARE AT THEIR LOWEST NUMBER, AND ITS PLANNED PARENTHOOD THAT HAD A LOT TO DO WITH THAT.
THAT IF YOU PROVIDE ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE--IN FACT WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF COST-- CONTRACEPTION WE'RE GONNA HAVE LESS UNWANTED PREGNANCIES.
>> CONGRESS IS ALREADY THREATENING TO STOP MEDICAID REIMBURSEMENT TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD AND ANY ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING HOSPITALS THAT PERFORM ABORTIONS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ALSO PROMISING CHILDCARE AND ELDERCARE CHANGES AS PART OF HIS FIRST 100 DAY PLAN.
HE'S PROPOSING CHILDCARE AND ELDERCARE TAX DEDUCTIONS.
HE'LL ALSO GIVE EMPLOYERS INCENTIVES TO PROVIDE ONSITE CHILDCARE, CREATE TAX-FREE DEPENDENT CARE SAVINGS ACCOUNTS WITH MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS FOR LOW INCOME FAMILIES.
FIRST DAUGHTER IVANKA TRUMP IS SAID TO BE VERY INFLUENTIAL IN CREATING THIS POLICY.
TRUMP ALSO PLANS TO MOVE AHEAD ON INDIVIDUAL AND CORPORATE TAX CUTS AND HIS IMMIGRATION POLICY INCLUDING PLANS TO BUILD A WALL ON OUR SOUTHERN BORDER.
ON IMMIGRATION, 78% OF TRUMP VOTERS VERSUS 38% OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC BELIEVE WE NEED TO MAKE DRAMATIC ACTION TO CURB ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION A PRIORITY.
35% OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC SUPPORT BUILDING A BORDER WALL WHILE 75% OF TRUMP VOTERS SUPPORT THE WALL.
DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS AND MANY NGO LEADERS WANT TO TURN FEARS ABOUT WHAT TRUMP MAY DO TO TO PROGRAMS FOR UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS INTO A MOVEMENT.
THERESA YOUNGER IS PRESIDENT OF THE MS.FOUNDATION FOR WOMEN AND THEY HAVE A VIDEO ON THEIR WEBSITE ABOUT HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THE RESISTANCE MOVEMENT: >> THE MARCH AND ALL OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT HAVE GONE ON ARE REMINDING US THAT WE WON'T GO BACK AND WE CAN'T STOP THE WORK THAT WE HAVE DONE, AND THAT WE ARE GOING TO JUST HAVE TO BE MORE VIGILANT THAN WE'VE EVER BEEN BEFORE IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN AND SUSTAIN THOSE RIGHTS.
AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW DO WE RAISE MORE DOLLARS SO THE DOLLARS CAN GO INTO THE FIELD SO WE CAN FIGHT THE FIGHT BOTH IN THE STATEHOUSES AS WELL AS IN CONGRESS AND WASHINGTON D.C. >> SO ANN STONE, WHAT IMPACT WILL THE FIRST 100 DAYS OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAVE ON WOMEN, CHILDREN, DIVERSE COMMUNITIES AND THE UNDERSERVED?
>> THE RHETORIC AGAINST TRUMP HAS BEEN OVERHEATED AND OVERHYPED AND YOU ARE ABOUT TO FIND OUT THAT EVERYBODY WILL BENEFIT, WOMEN, CHILDREN AND MEN AND EVERYBODY.
>> I'M GOING TO SAY BIG PICTURE THAT MOST OF THIS IS GOING TO BE AROUND THE HUMILITY, COMPASSION, GENEROSITY.
IF THEY START GOING DOWN THE ROAD WITH PUNITIVE AFTER PUNITIVE MEASURE, IT'S GOING TO BE A HORRIBLE FOUR YEARS BUT THE TONE WILL BE SET EARLY.
>> SPECIFIC ISSUES I EXPECT TRUMP TO REVEAL, JOB CREATION, WHAT ECONOMIC POLICIES ARE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE?
>> FIRST 100 DAYS IN TERMS OF COMMUNITIES OF COLOR?
ZERO IMPACT BECAUSE HE MADE IT CLEAR THAT AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITIES AND HOW TO IMPROVE OUR LOT IN TERMS OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM, SAFETY WITH THE POLICE AND EVEN AN ECONOMIC AGENDA THAT BENEFITS OUR COMMUNITIES WE WERE PRACTICALLY INVISIBLE TO HIM IN HIS CAMPAIGN.
I DON'T ANTICIPATE MUCH.
>> WHEN YOU SAY ZERO IMPACT THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOT OF IMPACT BECAUSE A LOT OF FUNDING FOR PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORTED AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND DIVERSE COMMUNITIES IS GOING TO GO AWAY.
>> I THINK WE ARE DEALING WITH A PRESIDENT THAT THINKS THAT DEALING WITH AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITIES IS GOING TO BE IMPACTED ABOUT I HIRING.
BUT IF HE CHANGES HIS RHETORIC IN HOW HE TALKS ABOUT BLACK AMERICANS BECAUSE HE MADE US SOUND VERY DANGEROUS DURING THE CAMPAIGN, THAT WOULD BE A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND THAT WOULD BE A MORE SUCCESSFUL 100 DAYS THAN I THIS I WE ANTICIPATE.
>> YOU ARE ON THE TRANSITION TEAM.
WHAT IS THE FIRST THING, HEALTHCARE, IS OBAMACARE GOING TO BE REPEALED.
>> REPLACE AND REPEAL.
THE TWO WILL COINCIDE.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE A GAP CONTRARY TO THE HYPE OUT THERE.
>> BUT NO REPUBLICANS HAVE A PLAN YET.
>> THEY DO.
>> LOTS OF DIFFERENT PLANS.
>> THE SUBCOMMITTEES HAVE HAD A PLAN FOR SIX YEARS.
YOU CAN GO TO THEIR WEBSITE.
THAT'S ONE OF THE PLACES THEY'RE A BASE OPERATING OFF OF.
DISAGREEMENTS AROUND THE EDGES BUT CERTAIN CORE PRINCIPLES THEY AGREE ON.
THEY WILL GET THERE.
IT WILL BE FINE AND THEY WILL DELAY THE REPEAL TO COINCIDE WITH REPLACEMENT.
THERE WON'T BE A GAP.
>> YOU WANT TO KNOW THE REST.
OBAMACARE IS ONLY PART OF IT.
TAX REFORM WILL COME QUICKLY AND REGULATORY REFORM.
REGULATORY REFORM WILL START DAY ONE.
>> I THIS I YOU WILL SEE A LOT OF REGULATIONS THAT BARACK OBAMA AND HIS TEAM PUT IN TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT, TO DEAL WITH MAKING SURE SCHOOLS SUPPORTED KIDS WITH DISABILITIES, THAT, YOU KNOW, HOUSING THERE WAS NOT DISCRIMINATION AND THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT THAT THERE WERE CIVIL RIGHTS INVESTIGATIONS.
I THINK ALL OF THOSE REGULATIONS ARE GOING TO GET REPEALED QUICKLY.
THINGS THAT ARE IN CONTROL OF THE ADMINISTRATION.
THINGS THAT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE CONGRESS ARE GOING TO TAKE A LOT LONGER AND, YOU KNOW, WE HEAR A LOT ABOUT THE PLAN AND PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PROMISE.
THE PROBLEM WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PROMISE ON OBAMACARE IS YOU CAN'T PROMISE ALL OF THESE GOOD SIDES OF OBAMACARE IS GOING TO STAY WITHOUT DEALING WITH THE COST AND THE RISK AND THAT'S WHY THE REPUBLICAN PLAN DOESN'T OFFER THOSE PROMISES.
THE PRESIDENT OFFERS IT BUT HE DOESN'T HAVE A PLAN TO... (ALL TALKING AT ONCE) >> I NEVER GET TO COUNTER HILLARY.
SO MANY COMMENTS, SO MANY THINGS THAT ARE WRONG.
THE REGULATIONS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT ARE THE NOT THE FIRST ONES HE IS GOING TO REPEAL.
HE IS GOING TO REPEAL WHAT IS DAMAGING OUR ECONOMIC RECOVERY WHICH IS THE WORST IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
>> ONE PERSON'S ECONOMIC RECOVERY IS... >> ONE AT A TIME.
(ALL TALKING AT ONCE) >> AND PAST THAT, ALL THE OTHER STUFF THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THAT IS SO NEGATIVE, THIS IS HYPE.
YOU ARE GOING TO SEE THAT THAT IS NOT THE CASE.
>> CAN I JUST SAY SOMETHING THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO THE CONVERSATION WHICH IS THAT SOMEONE ELSE SAID THIS AND I AGREE WITH IT WHOLEHEARTEDLY WHICH IS ROOTING FOR THIS MAN TO FAIL WOULD BE LIKE ROOTING FOR THE PILOT OF THE PLANE THAT YOU ARE ON TO CRASH.
I HOPE YOU ARE RIGHT, ANN.
I WANT TO SEE HIM SUCCEED BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE OUR COUNTRY SUCCEED BUT YOU SAID A LOT OF WHAT WE ARE CRITICIZING IS FROM OVERHYPED RHETORIC AND HEATED.
A LOT OF HIS RHETORIC IS OVERHEATED AND HYPED WHICH IS WHY A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE NOT HOPEFUL (ALL TALKING AT ONCE) >> AND THAT HIS NOMINEES HAD SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DO.
... >> ONE AT A TIME.
OR NOBODY CAN BE HEARD IF WE TALK OVER EACH OTHER.
YOU TALK ABOUT ECONOMIC REFORM.
FRONT PAGE OF THE WALL STREET JOURNAL THIS WEEK, NOT EXACTLY AN UNFRIENDLY NEWSPAPER TO TRUMP.
DOLLAR SLUMPS BECAUSE TRUMP IS TALKING IT DOWN.
IT'S DOWN 1.5% BECAUSE OF HIM.
>> AND IT WILL COME UP JUST AS EASE AGREE LET'S CLARIFY THAT.
THE REGULATORY ISSUES THAT WILL BE ADDRESSED ARE THE ONES HAMPERING JOB CREATION IN THE UNITED STATES AND COMING FROM THE FINANCIAL INDUSTRY, I CAN TELL YOU FIRSTHAND THE LENDING HAS STOPPED TO SMALL BUSINESS WHICH IS A MAJOR JOB CREATOR TO THE UNITED STATES, BENEFITS OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
PARTICULARLY THE BLACK AND HISPANIC COMMUNITY THAT HAS REALLY BEEN UNDER SERVED DURING THE LAST 10 YEARS.
HAVING SEEN THIS FIRSTHAND LET ME SAY THIS, THE STRONG DOLLAR HAS BEEN A PATRIOTIC ADDRESS.
A LOWER DOLLAR, THE REASON TRUMP SUPPORTED IT IS BECAUSE IT ENCOURAGES EXPORTS OF THE UNITED STATES WHICH IS ALSO ANOTHER ECONOMIC ENGINE THAT MOVES.
THAT'S WHAT HE WAS ADDRESSING THE U.S.
OPERATES WITH A TRADE IMBALANCE.
>> ALL OF THIS IS A MOOT POINT IF HE DOESN'T AT SOME POINT DECIDE TO ACT LIKE A PRESIDENT.
AND THAT'S WHAT I THINK A LOT OF US ARE WAITING ON.
I WANT TO SEE THIS MAN SUCCEED BECAUSE I LOVE AMERICA.
I LOVE OUR COUNTRY.
I'M PROUD OF OUR COUNTRY BUT WE NEED... >> I WANT TO GET...
I HAVE A LIST OF SPECIFICS THAT I WANT TO GO OVER PLANNED PARENTHOOD, QUICK RESPONSES, PLEASE.
>> UNFORTUNATELY THAT I TALK ABOUT, I DO NOT THINK THAT WE ARE GOING TO THE APOCALYPSE.
I AGREE WITH BARACK OBAMA.
WHAT I'M DOING IS REPEATING BACK THE THINGS HIS NOMINEES HAVE SAID THAT THEY WANT TO DO.
WHEN YOU HAVE THE SECRETARY OF EDUCATION GOING THERE SAYING SHE IS NOT GOING TO COMMIT TO KEEPING THE REQUIREMENT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO HELP KIDS WITH DISABILITIES, THAT SAYS SOMETHING SCARY.
WHEN YOU HAVE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL SAYING I'M GOING TO GET RID OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD.
I BELIEVE HIM.
THIS IS...
THESE ARE THE POINTS... ANN IS MAKING THE ARGUMENT, YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT WAS ALL TALK, THAT IS ALL HYPE BUT I THINK YOU HAVE TO CONCEDE THAT ACTUALLY THESE PEOPLE ARE MAKING THESE PROMISES TO CONSTITIUENCIES THAT ELECTED THEM AND THE QUESTION IS WHETHER THEY'LL DELIVER TO THEM OR NOT.
>> PLANNED PARENTHOOD.
>> I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE MORE DEBATABLE THAN WE REALIZE AND LET ME CLARIFY GET RID OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD FUNDING.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE, IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE A STRONG ELEMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY BUT THE DEBATE IS IN AND WE'LLY SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
>> WHAT ABOUT FUNDING... WE SPEND A BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR GIVING OTHER COUNTRIES, THROUGH USAID NOT FUNDING FOR ABORTION, NO ABORTIONS NOT EVEN REFERRALS FOR ABORTIONS.
BUT IT DOES HELP WOMEN IN POOR COUNTRIES TO HAVE TWO CHILDREN INSTEAD OF SEVEN THAT THEY CAN'T FEED.
>> I DO ENTD SEE A CHANGE IN THAT.
>> AS MUCH OF A HEALTH COMMISSIONER AS AN ECONOMIC ISSUE.
>> THE REPUBLICANS HAVE TARGETED THIS MONEY FOR THE LAST, YOU KNOW, 15 YEARS AND NOW THEY'LL HAVE THE POWER OF THE CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT TO PASS IT.
>> WITHIN THAT 15 YEARS THEY HAD THE POWER DO IT AND NEVER DID.
>> NO, THEY DIDN'T.
THEY HAD A DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT WHO VETOED IT.
>> WOMEN AND WORK.
IVANKA TRUMP SUPPOSED TO HAVE ALL KINDS OF POWER HERE.
SHE IS PROPOSING SOME PLAN ABOUT PAID MATERNITY LEAVE.
WHAT IS IT?
>> IVANKA HAS A WIDE RANGE OF THINGS SHE WANTS DO TO HELP WORKING WOMEN AND WOMEN WHO WORK INSIDE THE HOME AS WELL BUT THE CHILD CARE CREDITS AND PROGRAM TO HELP WORKING MOTHERS GET AFFORDABLE CHILD CARE IS VERY HIGH UP ON HER LIST.
BUT THERE IS MORE THAN THAT.
I MEAN SHE... >> IS IT GO FOR EXAMPLE TO HELP POOR WOMEN?
IS SHE PROPOSING ANYTHING THAT HELPS POOR WOMEN?
>> YES.
>> WHAT?
>> IT'S NOT JUST TAX CREDITS, THE ABILITY FOR AFFORDABLE CHILD CARE.
>> THE PROPOSAL DURING THE CAMPAIGN WAS ABOUT GIVING TAX CREDITS.
A LOT OF POOR WOMEN DON'T HAVE A SIGNIFICANT TAX LIABILITY.
>> WITHIN THE FIRST 00 HYUNDAI STATEMENT.
>> IVANKA TRUMP IS A WILD CARD AND I HOPE ANN HELPS IVANKA TRUMP SUCCEEDS ON EVERYTHING SHE SAYS SHE WANTS TO DO BUT I JUST LOOK AT SOME FACTS WHICH IS SHE IS IN THEORY RUNNING THE HOTELS OF THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION.
SHE DOESN'T GIVE HER OWN EMPLOYEES PAID FAMILY LEAVE SO NOW SHE IS GOING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GIVE IT TO THE COUNTRY?
GOD BLESS HER.
I HAVE GREAT HOPE THAT IVANKA TRUMP IS GOING TO BE THE FEMALE EMPOWERMENT OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
IT'S JUST WE HAVE NOT SEEN THIS HISTORY IN HER CAREER.
>> IMMIGRATION.
ARE WE GOING TO BUILD A WALL?
IT'S LAUGHABLE THAT MEXICO IS GOING TO REIMBURSE US FOR IT BUT HE KEEPS SAYING THAT IS WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO?
>> AGAIN PART OF IT IS RHETORIC.
I BELIEVE PART OF IT MAY BE A REALISTIC ADDRESS.
I ALSO THINK ONE OF THE THINGS I'LL SAY, 39% OF LA TEEN OWES VOTED FOR DONALD TRUMP, OKAY?
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED THIS PRESIDENT WILL LIKELY ADDRESS IS MEXICO'S NECESSITY TO NOT CALLING OUT THEIR OWN CONDITION.
SO I THINK THE TIME TO CALL MEXICO OUT ON THEIR HUGE RESOURCES, NATURAL RESOURCES THAT THEY HAVE AND THEIR INABILITY TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN PEOPLE THAT HAS LED TO THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS SOMETHING THEY SHOULD BE PUT ON THE TABLE.
SECONDLY I THINK THE WALL ISSUE, NO DOUBT IS A RHETORIC ISSUE.
I THINK IT WILL BE ADDRESSED SLOWLY.
I ALSO DO NOT THINK THAT TRUMP WILL FAIL ON THE DACA THING.
I DON'T THINK HE WILL SEND THE DREAMERS BACK.
>> BOTH OF YOU ARE SAYING RHETORIC, RHETORIC, RHETORIC.
WE'VE NEVER HAD A PRESIDENT BEFORE WHO CAMPAIGNED ON ISSUES AND THEN BACKED OFF OF THEM WHEN HE GOT INTO OFFICE.
THAT DOESN'T BOTHER YOU?
>> I COVERED THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE FOR 10 YEARS AND THE ONE THING I THINK HAPPENED IN THE POPULATION WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE CORRECT, BONNIE IS THAT THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE WAS NOT SOLVED.
IT JUST WAS NOT ADDRESSED AND IT REACHED A BOILING POINT.
I DON'T AGREE WITH THE WAY THE ISSUE WAS ADDRESSED AS LATINO AS A PERSON.
I THINK IT WAS WRONG BUT I THINK AT THIS STAGE THE ISSUE NEEDS SOME ADDRESSING.
>> IT'S MORE FUNDAMENTAL.
WHAT CAN WE TRUST THE PRESIDENT TO DO AND WHAT CAN WE LISTEN TO WHEN HE SAYING?
>> THAT'S, I THINK SOMETHING... >> AND THE ANSWER IS... >> WE NEED MORE TRANSPARENT >> THE ANSWER AS KELLYANNE SAID.
DON'T LISTEN TO HIS WORDS.
LISTEN TO HIS HEART.
>> WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT RHETORIC, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT HIS RHETORIC BEING OVERHYPED ALTHOUGH THERE HAS BEEN SOME AND A LOT OF IT HAS BEEN MISUNDERSTOOD.
I'M TALKING ABOUT THE RHETORIC AGAINST HIM.
THE HORRIBLE THINGS HE IS GOING TO DO AND APOCALYPSE THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END.
THEY HAVE SET THE BAR SO LOW THEY WILL SOAR ABOVE IT.
>> FROM WOMEN, CHILDREN, THE UNDERSERVED TO MILLENNIALS.
>> YOUNG PEOPLE, PARTICULARLY YOUNG WOMEN OF COLOR HAVE A PESSIMISTIC VIEW OF DONALD TRUMP'S PRESIDENCY THAT'S ACCORDING TO A NEW POLL OF AMERICANS BETWEEN 18 AND 30 YEARS OLD BY GE NFORD.
RESPONDENTS EXPECT TO BE WORSE OFF AT THE END OF TRUMP'S TERM, NOT BETTER OFF.
IT'S EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE OF COLOR.
LESS THAN A FIFTH OF YOUNG BLACK AND LATINO AMERICANS THINK THEIR LIVES WILL IMPROVE UNDER TRUMP.
AND YOUNG AMERICANS BY I WIDE MARGIN EXPECT JUMP TO BE DIVISIVE AND FAIL TO UNITE THE COUNTRY AND TO GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS A NIGHT VERY GOOD OR EVEN A POOR PRESIDENT.
AS FAR AS CAMPAIGN PROMISES, YOUNG AMERICANS EXPECT TRUMP WILL FOLLOW THROUGH ON CUTTING TAXES FOR THE RICH AND DEPORTING MILLIONS OF IMMIGRANTS LIVING IN THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY.
HOWEVER, LESS THAN FOUR IN 10 THINK TRUMP WILL SUCCEED IN BUILDING A WALL ALONG THE MEXICAN BORDER.
THIS POLL COMES ALONG WITH OTHER POLLS SHOWING TRUMP IS HISTORICALLY UNPOPULAR AMONG VOTERS OF ALL AGES WHEN IT CAN UMS TO INCOMING PRESIDENTS.
WHAT IS THE MAIN ISSUE FOR MILLENNIALS FROM TRUMP?
WHAT WOULD MAKE THEM BECAUSE THEY POLL AGAINST HIM AT THIS POINT.
WHAT WOULD MAKE THEM POLL FOR HIM?
>> WELL,A NAME CHANGE?
I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO SAY THERE.
IN HIS DEFENSE A LITTLE BIT, HILLARY CLINTON DIDN'T DO SO HOT WITH MILLENNIALS IN CERTAIN KEY SWING STATES AND SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT'S WHY SHE DIDN'T WIN BUT I WILL SAY THAT MILLENNIALS IN GENERAL ARE MORE OPEN MINDED AND TOLERANT ON CERTAIN SOCIAL ISSUES AND RACIAL JUSTICE ISSUES AND YOU KNOW, WE CAN DEBATE HOW MUCH TRUMP'S LANGUAGE WAS OVERHYPED BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY HE WAS SENDING OUT TWEETS SEEN AS DENY GRADING LATINOS AND SAYING LATINOS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF EXECUTIONS OF CAUSE INDICATION.
NOT TRUE.
THIS IS DIFFERENT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE FRIENDS OF DIFFERENT RACES.
THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN HEARING PEOPLE SPEAK THAT WAY ABOUT DIFFERENT RACES OR DIFFERENT WOMEN.
>> WHAT ABOUT HIS CABINET.
>> AND HIS 90% WHITE OR SOMETHING.
>> IT'S NOT REFLECTED THROUGHOUT THE POPULATION BUT WHAT I WILL SAY IS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IF SOME OF THE MILLENNIALS CRITICIZING MARCHING IN THE STREETS HAD ACTUALLY BOTHERED TO VOTE BECAUSE AS I WROTE IN MY FIRST COLUMN AFTER THE ELECTION, KAEPERNICK WAS ONE OF THE MOST VISIBLE MILLENNIALS CRITICAL OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM AND HE ANNOUNCED HE DIDN'T BOTHER TO VOTE IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
HE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE.
SO IF ANYTHING, DONALD TRUMP COULD END UP BEING A GREAT THING FOR MILLENNIALS BECAUSE HE COULD BE THE CATALYST THAT ENSURE THEY ALL VOTE IN THE FUTURE.
>> WILL THERE BE A MOVEMENT COMING OUT OF THIS MARCH?
I KNOW YOU ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE BUT WILL, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE SAYING THE MEANING OF THIS MARCHS WE ARE NOT GOING BACK AND IT INCLUDES WOMEN... >> NO ONE IS ASKING TO GO BACK.
THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN OFFICIALLY DOES NOT WANT TO RESPOND TO THE MARCH.
WE WANT THEM TO HAVE THEIR DAY, HAVE THEIR SAY, GET IT OUT THERE.
WE WILL BE LISTENING AND WATCHING BUT THE BOTTOM LINE, WITH ALL OF THIS IS THAT UNTIL PEOPLE REALLY DECIDE THAT THEY WANT TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE AND WANT TO START TO WORK TOGETHER, THEY'RE NOT EVEN GOING TO BE WILLING TO OPEN THEIR MINDS TO SEE IF GOOD THINGS ARE HAPPENING.
AND THE REASON MILLENNIALS ARE SO AGAINST HIM IS, YOU KNOW, HILLARY CLINTON SPENT MILLIONS AND TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON ADS THAT CONVINCED THEM THAT HE IS HEINOUS WHICH WE REPEATED AGAIN AND AGAIN.
HE SAID IT ONCE AND IT DISAPPEARED IT WOULD BE ONE THING BUT IT WAS AGAIN AND AGAIN.
THESE ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE P.C., THE POLITICALLY CORRECT.
THESE ARE THE CHILDREN SHAPED BY A CULTURE THAT HATES TRUMP AND HAS GONE OVERBOARD IN THE WAY THEY'VE PORTRAYED HIM.
>> WE ARE TALKING ABOUT 60% OF YOUNG PEOPLE SO I DON'T THINK YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THIS AS CHILDREN OF THE P.C.
I THINK HAVE YOU TO TALK ABOUT THIS AS OUR FUTURE.
AND I THINK THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO NOT JUST IS A GOOD ROLE MODEL FOR THEM, AND, BUT HAVE YOU TO TALK ABOUT A PRESIDENT WHO ACTUALLY SPEAKS TO THEM, SPEAKS TO THEIR FUTURE, DOESN'T THINK ABOUT KIND OF LINING THE POCKETS OF THEIR FRIENDS OR FLOWTING ETHICS LAWS BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEM AND I THINK THAT WHAT YOU WILL HAVE IS PEOPLE WATCHING REALLY CLOSELY.
YOU KNOW, THE ONE ADVANTAGE DONALD TRUMP HAS RIGHT NOW IS THE ENTIRE WORLD IS WATCHING HIM.
IF HE WANTS DO THE RIGHT THING, IF HE WANTS TO INSPIRE, IF HE WANTS TO MAKE CHANGE FOR GOOD, IF HE WANTS TO BE INCLUSIVE IN THE ECONOMIC, YOU KNOW, OPPORTUNITY OF AMERICA, PEOPLE WILL NOTICE.
>> YOU MADE THE RIGHT POINTED.
>> IF HE WANTS TO BUT HE HAS NOT SHOWN THAT YET.
>> BERNIE SANDERS SPOKE TO MILLENNIALS FUTURE.
HE TALKED ABOUT COLLEGE TUITION COSTS WHICH ARE AMAZINGLY HIGH.
MORE YOUNG PEOPLE LIVE WITH THEIR PARENTS THAN ARE GETTING MARRIED.
AND THE DATA JUST CAME OUT LAST WEEK, BONNIE NAT SHOWED THAT MILLENNIALS AT THIS AGE ARE MAKING 20% LESS THAN THEIR PARENTS DID.
SO THESE ECONOMIC ISSUES, HOWEVER WE FEEL IDEOLOGICALLY DIFFERENT, BERNIE SANDERS DID BRING OUT TRUMP AND THE ADMINISTRATION WILL HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THESE ISSUES.
>> WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENT THOUGH?
I WANT TO GET BACK TO THE END PRODUCT OF THE MARCH.
IS THERE GOING TO BE WE ARE NOT GOING BACK MOVEMENT OUT OF?
>> ACTUALLY TO ME THE MOVEMENT HAS ACTUALLY BEEN A SIGN OF HOPE.
LET ME TELL YOU WHY.
I JUST SPOKE TO A PRO-LIFE VIRGIN BY CHOICE, THE CHOICE SHE HAS MADE IN HER 30S PLANNING TO GO TO THE MARCH.
NOW A LOT OF MY FRIENDS DON'T CHECK THOSE BOXES AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE AT THE MARCH AND THEY'RE MARCHING SIDE BY SIDE BECAUSE THEY CARE ABOUT WOMEN AND GIRLS.
SOME OF THEM ARE OPEN TO GIVING HIM A CHANCE.
I WANT TO PUSH BACK THAT IT'S A MOVEMENT THAT WANTS TO SEAT PRESIDENT FAIL.
I HAVE A COLUMN COMING OUT FOR THE BEAST ABOUT THE FACT THAT I BELIEVE THE MARCH SHOULD BE ALL INCLUSIVE.
I THINK PRO-LIFE WOMEN SHOULD BE WELCOME INTO THIS.
>> AND THEY'RE THERE.
WE INTERVIEWED, LAST WEEK THEY WERE ON THE SHOW.
>> THEY SHOULD BE WELCOME AT THE TABLE BECAUSE OUR COUNTRY IS TOO IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE DIFFICULT INDIVIDUALED.
SO MANY ISSUES HAPPEN TO WOMEN AND GIRLS.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SEXUAL ASSAULT POLICY ONCE THE OWE BAM ADMINISTRATION IS GONE.
>> SHE WAS GRILLED ABOUT THIS AND WOULDN'T COMMIT.
>> TO CONTINUING INVESTIGATE SEXUAL ASSAULTS ON CAMPUSES AND USING TITLE IX FOR THE FULL BREADTH OF THE OPPORTUNITY.
THAT'S WHY PEOPLE ARE NERVOUS AND I DO THINK THAT WHEN YOU HAVE THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS ACROSS THE COUNTRY SAYING WE ARE NERVOUS.
THIS IS A SCARY TIME.
A LOT OF ISSUES ON THE TABLE.
WE HAVE MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS IN THE LAST EIGHT YEARS, AND NOT ONLY ARE WE NOT GOING BACK, WE CAN'T AFFORD AS A COUNTRY TO GO BACK.
YOU ARE GOING TO SEE, I BELIEVE HISTORIC PARTICIPATION.
MY 18-YEAR-OLD KIDS WHO ARE FAIRLY POLITICALLY CYNICAL, NOT, YOU KNOW, NOT THE... >> THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND IT TOO MUCH WITH YOU.
>> THEY ARE ENGAGED.
THEY'RE ENGAGED IN A WAY THAT I THINK THAT THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN HAD HILLARY CLINTON WON, AND IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE FRAYED.
THEY'RE AFRAID FOR THEIR OWN FUTURE.
>> I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE ETHICS OF MILLENNIALS.
WATCHING THIS CABINET WITH, FOR EXAMPLE, TOM PRICE, A DOCTOR, WHO PRETTY CLEARLY COMMITTED WHAT IS CONSIDERED A SERIES OF INSIDER TRADING...
HE KNEW IN ADVANCE.
HE TRIED CLAIM THAT HE DIDN'T BUT IF THERE WERE A NEUTRAL JUSTICE DEPARTMENT... >> THAT WAS FAKE NEWS.
>> OH MY GOD.
>> IT IS NOT FAKE NEWS.
>> IT IS.
>> HE ADMITTED IT.
IF YOU LOOK AT NANCY PELOSI, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INSIDING TRADING IN POLITICAL CIRCLES FOR QUITE SOMETIME.
A BOOK WRITTEN ABOUT THIS ISSUE EXPOSING IT BUT THE POINT IS THAT IT WAS NOT ILLEGAL.
NOW THE DETAILS OF TOM PRICE, YOU KNOW, WE CAN TALK ABOUT AND EXPAND ON.
BUT THE POINT IS THAT IT WAS INTERESTING HOW POLITICIANS FOR DECADES HAVE BEEN USING INSIDER INFORMATION... (ALL TALKING AT ONCE) >> WAIT, WAIT, WE ARE ALMOST OUT OF TIME HERE BUT THE MESSAGE, I MEAN YOU SAY IT'S NOT INSIDER TRADING.
THE FACT IS I SPOKE WITH A FORMER CFTC LAWYER WHO SAID ALL THE ELEMENTS OF INSIDER TRADING IS THERE BUT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WON'T PROSECUTE BECAUSE JEFF SESSIONS WILL BE RUNNING I.
SORRY WE ARE OUT OF TIME.
PLEASE FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER AND VISIT OUR WEBSITE PBS.ORG/TO THE CONTRARY AND WHETHER YOU AGREE OR THINK TO THE CONTRARY, SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.
