With that we bring in Jason Chaffetz,
former House Oversight Committee Chairman and Fox News Contributor,
TW Shannon, former Oklahoma House Speaker and Juan Williams,
Fox News Senior Political Analyst.
Great to have all of you with us.
So we have this issue
of a Biden decline in young voters and and you
can see that he's trying to address that with
forgiving student loan. And then he has a a very
serious issue with black voters as well.
And you know he had a moment at this
Chick-fil-A where he gave a big hug to this woman
who was very positive about the Trump candidacy in Georgia.
This was. And she she joined them on Fox and
Friends this morning to talk a little bit about why
she supports President Trump.
Let's just watch this and get your reaction to it,
please. Here we go. I think,
and this is a sentiment I get a lot coming
from the young people themselves,
is that they feel like he's honest.
They feel like this is somebody who,
while we might not agree with how he says things,
how he goes about things,
at least he's telling us what it is.
We don't feel like this is a snake in the
grass waiting for his chance to bite us.
This is somebody who's telling us this is what my
plan is.
TW what? What goes through your mind when you watch
that whole scenario that played out at the Chick-fil-A and
you hear what this young woman has to say?
Well, Martha, I love it.
And I think the Democrats recognize they are losing their
group,
their grip on the black vote.
Listen, there are two reasons why black voters are
running toward Donald Trump. Number one,
they remember COVID. They remember it was the Democrats who
were saying you can't go to work,
you can't go to your job,
and you can't send your kids to schools.
And Republicans were saying we want to protect your job
and we want your kids to go to school.
And they also know that Joe Biden has replaced
African Americans for illegals. The open border crisis is not
by hopping circumstance.
It is a direct attack on black voters.
And black people recognize it.
They're they're asking the question,
why is it that Jamal is locked up,
but Julio is running around doing whatever he wants to
in this country with benefits from the government.
It's an atrocity that's happening.
And it's a direct result of the policies of Joe
Biden.
People are less free, they're less prosperous,
and black people know it and they recognize it,
and they're running to Donald Trump as a result.
Yeah, at the border issue is something that was very
potent,
I thought in Mark Halperin's discussion that he had with
independent voters
and and they brought up exactly the point that you
make.
They feel like they're being traded off
in terms of being Americans and and the benefits that
they'd like to receive and that it's going to the
people who are coming across the border.
Juan, what do you say to all that?
Well, I think that there's no getting away from the
numbers that you described,
Martha. I think that what you see is a decline,
especially black men, not so much black women,
in support for President Biden.
It still is, even among black men,
2 to one. But as you point out,
it's like a 30% drop in the Fox News voter
analysis.
I will say that this is really early.
And what you have is people reacting to the incumbent.
So the people who are like,
well, you know, I don't know how things are going
for me.
Oh Gee, I think inflation still is an issue.
I'm worried about my loans,
about buying out. They, they are
aiming all of that ire at the man behind the
big desk.
And at the moment, that's President Biden.
Of course, President Biden and his campaign are going to
start running ads and those ads are going to remind
people of what life was like under guess who former
President Trump the man that they threw out to put
Biden in place.
And with regard to the Student Loans.
One I hope they do.
Student loans are popular, are very student loans right now
are are politically popular.
Everyone likes to get, likes to get free money.
Sure. That's always popular. Go ahead,
TW. And then I want to get Jason in here.
I hope they run ad because life was a lot
better under Donald Trump.
All right. Jason Chaffetz. No,
it wasn't. I mean, clearly if you remember COVID,
if you remember George Floyd,
you'd say no for black America.
It was not better. The numbers don't bear that out
on me in terms
you look at unemployment, you look at unemployment,
you look at this stuff.
I I think it's better.
The numbers,
the numbers that I, I think TW is talking about
it are the polling numbers that we're seeing and A
and a clear shift that is happening.
And I showed you historically how how dramatic this shift
is if it holds up and and you're saying if
things are still far off.
Let me get Jason Chaffetz in here.
Jason, your take on the efforts by the current president
to try to win these groups back,
I think it is a vote buying scheme.
Since when do we just ignore the Supreme Court and
their ruling?
They're going to get sued again.
You hear nothing from the president about how he's going
to drive down costs of education.
Yeah, he wants to go out and try to erase
some of the dead,
but how are they actually going to make college more
affordable?
They never talk about that.
And TW is right. The immigration issue is big because
you know what,
10 million people compete for housing,
10 million people are competing for all those benefits and
they're going into these big inner cities.
And it has a major effect.
Indeed it does, Juan. Thank you,
TW Shannon. Thank you as well.
Jason Chaffetz, great to have you all here.
Thank you very much, gentlemen.
Thanks, Martha.
