Harmeet Dhillon: Dems Are Calling This the Year of the Women Because They Are out of Ideas

RUSH TRANSCRIPT Ingraham The ░░░░░░░░ keep talking about blue ░░░░░░░░ this year and once ░░░░░░░░ they ve labeled it ░░░░░░░░ year of the woman ░░░░░░░░ t that 92 Not ░░░░░░░░ fast According to a ░░░░░░░░ poll by the Independent ░░░░░░░░ s Voice a candidate ░░░░░░░░ gender makes no difference ░░░░░░░░ 83 percent of likely ░░░░░░░░ voters Joining me now ░░░░░░░░ discuss this make sense ░░░░░░░░ it Harmeet Dhillon the ░░░░░░░░ committeewoman from California and ░░░░░░░░ Hayes former Hillary Clinton ░░░░░░░░ organizer Great to see ░░░░░░░░ of you All right ░░░░░░░░ s start with you ░░░░░░░░ Why should a person ░░░░░░░░ sex matter in an ░░░░░░░░ I thought we were ░░░░░░░░ to be away from ░░░░░░░░ and gender the only ░░░░░░░░ that matters is merit ░░░░░░░░ what you bring to ░░░░░░░░ equation So why are ░░░░░░░░ now labeling an election ░░░░░░░░ year of the woman ░░░░░░░░ isn t this just ░░░░░░░░ year of great issues ░░░░░░░░ I think it is ░░░░░░░░ year of great issues ░░░░░░░░ don t know why ░░░░░░░░ is being labeled the ░░░░░░░░ of the woman I ░░░░░░░░ think that one reason ░░░░░░░░ people were referring to ░░░░░░░░ as the year of ░░░░░░░░ woman is because you ░░░░░░░░ more women candidates than ░░░░░░░░ before So that would ░░░░░░░░ one reason I don ░░░░░░░░ think people are just ░░░░░░░░ out and saying Hey ░░░░░░░░ wears a skirt so ░░░░░░░░ m going to vote ░░░░░░░░ her when her ideas ░░░░░░░░ so far fetched and ░░░░░░░░ are different from mine ░░░░░░░░ don t think people ░░░░░░░░ really do that I ░░░░░░░░ think that is one ░░░░░░░░ those tantalizing facts that ░░░░░░░░ do to make people ░░░░░░░░ to their side of ░░░░░░░░ equation Ingraham I want ░░░░░░░░ play this Michelle Obama ░░░░░░░░ bite This is from ░░░░░░░░ of last year when ░░░░░░░░ talked about the women ░░░░░░░░ turned out for Donald ░░░░░░░░ Let s watch clip ░░░░░░░░ M Obama Women who ░░░░░░░░ against Hillary Clinton voted ░░░░░░░░ their own voice What ░░░░░░░░ it mean for us ░░░░░░░░ women that we look ░░░░░░░░ those two candidates as ░░░░░░░░ and many of us ░░░░░░░░ That guy he s ░░░░░░░░ for me His voice ░░░░░░░░ more true to me ░░░░░░░░ ends Ingraham Harmeet again ░░░░░░░░ seems to look down ░░░░░░░░ women who voted for ░░░░░░░░ If you vote for ░░░░░░░░ conservative Republican you are ░░░░░░░░ against your interests But ░░░░░░░░ this booming economy where ░░░░░░░░ level of the economy ░░░░░░░░ up female employment optimism ░░░░░░░░ all of it up ░░░░░░░░ up how can you ░░░░░░░░ that this year after ░░░░░░░░ these results are already ░░░░░░░░ DHILLON Laura they say ░░░░░░░░ because they are out ░░░░░░░░ ideas They ve got ░░░░░░░░ The year of the ░░░░░░░░ was 2016 by the ░░░░░░░░ didn t work very ░░░░░░░░ for the Democrats They ░░░░░░░░ to use gender to ░░░░░░░░ an otherwise bad candidate ░░░░░░░░ the finish line and ░░░░░░░░ didn t work I ░░░░░░░░ a woman business owner ░░░░░░░░ I can tell you ░░░░░░░░ woman or man everyone ░░░░░░░░ is a business owner ░░░░░░░░ works for a living ░░░░░░░░ at their 401 k ░░░░░░░░ at their rising salary ░░░░░░░░ at job competition from ░░░░░░░░ who are not citizens ░░░░░░░░ everyone factors those things ░░░░░░░░ So it is very ░░░░░░░░ for leaders to say ░░░░░░░░ women should be voting ░░░░░░░░ to their lady parts ░░░░░░░░ opposed to with their ░░░░░░░░ their pocketbooks and voting ░░░░░░░░ their futures Our party ░░░░░░░░ need to do a ░░░░░░░░ job though of defining ░░░░░░░░ issues that all Americans ░░░░░░░░ about particularly people who ░░░░░░░░ households are caring about ░░░░░░░░ care they re caring ░░░░░░░░ safety And we can ░░░░░░░░ a better job in ░░░░░░░░ of making sure that ░░░░░░░░ pass ObamaCare making sure ░░░░░░░░ we get border security ░░░░░░░░ issues like that That ░░░░░░░░ what women that s ░░░░░░░░ men care about We ░░░░░░░░ care about it HAYES ░░░░░░░░ is what people care ░░░░░░░░ Laura I don t ░░░░░░░░ it is so much ░░░░░░░░ gender focus as people ░░░░░░░░ to make us think ░░░░░░░░ is I think it ░░░░░░░░ about the issues And ░░░░░░░░ I got to worry ░░░░░░░░ what is going to ░░░░░░░░ if God forbid something ░░░░░░░░ to my daughter if ░░░░░░░░ s raped and you ░░░░░░░░ even get a way ░░░░░░░░ deal with that that ░░░░░░░░ a problem Ingraham When ░░░░░░░░ say a way to ░░░░░░░░ with that you mean ░░░░░░░░ Abortion That is the ░░░░░░░░ you are searching for ░░░░░░░░ Yes DHILLON Why couldn ░░░░░░░░ you say it HAYES ░░░░░░░░ I don t want ░░░░░░░░ I can say it ░░░░░░░░ way I want to ░░░░░░░░ So Pam you believe ░░░░░░░░ this election cycle is ░░░░░░░░ one of the preeminent ░░░░░░░░ on the minds of ░░░░░░░░ is the ability to ░░░░░░░░ an abortion You think ░░░░░░░░ will be outlawed in ░░░░░░░░ United States all 50 ░░░░░░░░ Why do you think ░░░░░░░░ HAYES I think it ░░░░░░░░ dangerous when it s ░░░░░░░░ in some states I ░░░░░░░░ it should be a ░░░░░░░░ across the United States ░░░░░░░░ For abortion HAYES A ░░░░░░░░ for women For abortion ░░░░░░░░ is not the top ░░░░░░░░ at least for me ░░░░░░░░ At the top issue ░░░░░░░░ any American I don ░░░░░░░░ think abortion is in ░░░░░░░░ top 10 HAYES I ░░░░░░░░ t think so either ░░░░░░░░ Ingraham Why did you ░░░░░░░░ it up HAYES I ░░░░░░░░ it up because I ░░░░░░░░ to make a point ░░░░░░░░ What point I m ░░░░░░░░ finding it let me ░░░░░░░░ the comment from Hillary ░░░░░░░░ We are talking about ░░░░░░░░ lot of women candidates ░░░░░░░░ are doing really well ░░░░░░░░ Democrats are fielding a ░░░░░░░░ of female candidates who ░░░░░░░░ doing well so far ░░░░░░░░ the pulling out a ░░░░░░░░ of open seats To ░░░░░░░░ of you this is ░░░░░░░░ Hillary Clinton said She ░░░░░░░░ we do not well ░░░░░░░░ white men and we ░░░░░░░░ not do well with ░░░░░░░░ white women Part of ░░░░░░░░ is an identification with ░░░░░░░░ Republican Party and a ░░░░░░░░ of ongoing pressure to ░░░░░░░░ the way your husband ░░░░░░░░ boss your son whoever ░░░░░░░░ you should Pam do ░░░░░░░░ agree with what Mrs ░░░░░░░░ said there You read ░░░░░░░░ the lines you don ░░░░░░░░ even have to read ░░░░░░░░ the lines These women ░░░░░░░░ kind of stupid They ░░░░░░░░ the way their men ░░░░░░░░ them to vote HAYES ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ the vast majority women ░░░░░░░░ stupid and brought the ░░░░░░░░ their men want them ░░░░░░░░ vote But I think ░░░░░░░░ are some people who ░░░░░░░░ that just like there ░░░░░░░░ women who might just ░░░░░░░░ for women because they ░░░░░░░░ women I think the ░░░░░░░░ is what is the ░░░░░░░░ of the majority of ░░░░░░░░ in America For me ░░░░░░░░ s a pocketbook issue ░░░░░░░░ am a business owner ░░░░░░░░ So you should be ░░░░░░░░ Trump HAYES I would ░░░░░░░░ be for Trump I ░░░░░░░░ very serious issues with ░░░░░░░░ Ingraham How was your ░░░░░░░░ doing HAYES It s ░░░░░░░░ okay It was doing ░░░░░░░░ under George Bush I ░░░░░░░░ put it like that ░░░░░░░░ Was doing better under ░░░░░░░░ DHILLON My business is ░░░░░░░░ great HAYES I don ░░░░░░░░ have that type of ░░░░░░░░ I m a lawyer ░░░░░░░░ I was a harmeet ░░░░░░░░ am I but I ░░░░░░░░ recovering HAYES Maybe I ░░░░░░░░ get a job like ░░░░░░░░ Ingraham Harmeet last word ░░░░░░░░ The type of the ░░░░░░░░ the Democrats are fielding ░░░░░░░░ the selection or extreme ░░░░░░░░ younger women standing for ░░░░░░░░ Ocasio Cortez women who ░░░░░░░░ far left women who ░░░░░░░░ open borders women who ░░░░░░░░ abortion extremists Frequent I ░░░░░░░░ t think that message ░░░░░░░░ resonate with the majority ░░░░░░░░ the voters The majority ░░░░░░░░ voters are are somewhere ░░░░░░░░ the middle I hope ░░░░░░░░ I m correct that ░░░░░░░░ young women are attractive ░░░░░░░░ looking candidates not necessarily ░░░░░░░░ to get a vote ░░░░░░░░ November but that depends ░░░░░░░░ Republicans to field people ░░░░░░░░ better ideas Ingraham I ░░░░░░░░ t care what party ░░░░░░░░ like or if you ░░░░░░░░ t like Trump you ░░░░░░░░ drum you have to ░░░░░░░░ this economy I can ░░░░░░░░ you this it s ░░░░░░░░ going to get better ░░░░░░░░ it is right now ░░░░░░░░ might get marginally better ░░░░░░░░ this is a great ░░░░░░░░ If you want a ░░░░░░░░ in the United States ░░░░░░░░ can t think in ░░░░░░░░ lifetime of a better ░░░░░░░░ to be an American ░░░░░░░░ We really appreciate both ░░░░░░░░ you joining us HAYES ░░░░░░░░ it wasn t bad ░░░░░░░░ Obama It wasn t ░░░░░░░░ DHILLON It s terrific ░░░░░░░░ Ingraham The GDP I
