Maria Bartiromo: Ice Cube’s Platinum Plan Is Resonating with the Black Community

RUSH EXCERPT:

BARTIROMO: “That’s right. It was the slowest recovery on record. One thing that this admin’s ration has don is really reach out to create a bigger tent. This morning on “Morning with Maria” I had an exclusive with ice cube and Q was telling me how he worked with the administration to come up with new ideas to reach out to the black community, reach out to hispanics. That platinum plan is really resonating and one issue there is the fact that wages started to rise before covid showed up. Remember in January and February, we had an unemployment rate of 3.5%, the lowest on record. Every income level felt that tax cut plan and every income level saw wages going up. Importantly the lowest of the income earners were actually seeing their wages go up even higher than the top earners. That was really incredible, and for the first time in decades, we actually saw the beginning of the income inequality story beginning to narrow. The black community is now seeing this an understanding that President Trump has actually made an impact on their lives. That’s why there are some expectations that the black vote is going to come out for President Trump to the tune of 20% to 30%, Sean. That’s a huge number. I don’t think we’ve ever seen anything like it.”
