đïž Biden's Appeal to Black Voters
The second hour of 'Fox & Friends' begins with discussions on President Biden's recent efforts to connect with Black voters during a dinner for the Detroit NAACP branch. Peter Doocy reports live from the White House, detailing Biden's strategy to warn voters about the potential loss of rights if he is not reelected. Biden emphasizes his long-term support for the NAACP and highlights investments in Black families and communities. However, his support among Black voters has declined, while Trump's support has increased, posing a significant challenge for Biden in the upcoming election. Biden's recent appearances in swing states like Michigan and Georgia are part of this strategy, but reactions to his speeches have been mixed.
đ Biden's Struggles with Black Voters
Biden's support among Black voters, especially Black men, has dropped significantly, while Trump gains ground. This decline in support is partly attributed to economic issues and immigration policies that impact Black communities. Biden's recent efforts to engage with Black colleges and radio stations are seen as a late attempt to regain support. Lawrence Jones and other commentators criticize Biden for focusing on divisive issues rather than offering a message of inspiration and progress to Black graduates and voters. They argue that Biden's approach fails to address the real concerns of the Black community and instead tries to leverage fear for political gain.
đł Financial Advice and Political Commentary
In this segment, the hosts discuss Biden's engagement with Black voters and the economic challenges they face. The conversation shifts to personal finance advice, such as paying off credit card debt and car loans. They speculate on Biden's strategy to counter Trump's influence, suggesting that Biden might focus on highlighting Trump's faults rather than offering a positive vision. The discussion reflects skepticism about Biden's ability to effectively connect with and address the needs of Black voters amid declining support.

MOREHOUSE SAID THERE WILL BE NO
DEMONSTRATIONS.
IF ANYBODY INTERRUPTS, I'M
STRONG THE COMMENCEMENT RIGHT ON
THE SPOT?
>> Peter: YES.
AND IF YOU'RE THE WHITE HOUSE
YOU PROBABLY THINK THAT THE

HE GOT TO DELIVER IT.

IT'S GOING TO BE IN NOVEMBER.
POLITICAL TRAVEL THIS WEEK A
STATE HAS FOUR ELECTORAL VOTES,
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
>> Lawrence: THANKS, PETER.
YOU DON'T GET TO SPEND HALF YOUR
LIFE WITH SEGREGATIONISTS.
HAVE A MOMENT TO SPEAK WITH
BLACK MEN ONE OF THE MOST
SUCCESSFUL COLLEGES IN THE
COUNTRY, THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT
ARE GOING TO BE YOUR NEXT
DOCTORS AND LAWYERS.
INSTEAD OF PRESENTING A MOMENT
OF INSPIRATION YOU TRY TO DIVIDE
THE COUNTRY.
I HAD LOWE ON WHO IS FROM THE
BRONX.
HE REACTED TO THIS.
>> IT'S TOUGH TO HEAR THAT
IMAGINE YOU GOING TO CLEANING
FOR FOUR YEARS, REDDING CANNY TO
HIT THE WORLD AND START A CAREER
AND THIS GUY IS TRYING TO SET
YOU BACK, LITERALLY, CIVIL
RIGHTS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON
WITH THE DEMOCRATS THIS ROLE
THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO PLAY.
INSTEAD OF PULLING UP, AND
SAYING WELL, HERE WE GO.
THIS IS YOUR TIME.
CONGRATULATIONS, LET'S KILL IT.
LET'S DO OUR BEST, NAH, YOU KNOW
WHAT?
, LAWRENCE, THEY DON'T LOVE YOU
LIKE THAT.
LET YOU KNOW HOW THEY REALLY
THINK ABOUT YOU AND HOW THE
DEMOCRATS FEEL THEY HAVE TO DO
NO WORK TO GET THE BLACK OR
HISPANIC VOTE.
I THINK THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE
THIS YEAR.
>> Ainsley: LAWRENCE, I'M
CURIOUS, HOW DO YOU FEEL WHEN
THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN IN OFFICE
THREE AND A HALF YEARS AND NOW
SEEING THE POLL NUMBERS DROP
AMONGST BLACK MEN ESPECIALLY AND
TRUMP IS GETTING MORE OF THE
BLACK MALE VOTER AND THEN YOU
SEE PRESIDENT BIDEN NOW ALL OF
THE SUDDEN DOING THIS TOUR OF
BLACK COLLEGES AND BLACK RADIO
STATIONS AND MEETING WITH THE
NAACP.
>> Lawrence: MOST BLACK VOTERS
WOULD SAY WHY NOW?
WHY DID YOU WAIT UNTIL IT WAS
ELECTION TIME TO START
CAMPAIGNING AND TALKING ABOUT
THE ISSUES THAT IMPACT US?
I THINK HONESTLY CAN HE CAMPAIGN
ALL HE WANTS.
IT'S ISSUE-BASED FOR BLACK MEN
AND THE ECONOMY AND IMMIGRATION.
WHEN YOU HAVE THE ECONOMY NOT
DOING AS WELL AS THE TRUMP YEARS
AND WHEN YOU HAVE THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY NOW GIVING BENEFITS TO
ILLEGALS TAKING OVER BLACK
COMMUNITIES, THAT IS THE ISSUES
THAT MATTER TO THEM.
>> Brian: HE SAID IN THAT SPEECH
DEMOCRACY IS NOT FOR YOU.
WE LET YOU DOWN EVERY STEP OF
THE WAY.
>> Lawrence: WHY EVEN TRY?
>> Brian: IF DONALD TRUMP CAME
OUT AND SAID DEMOCRATS WANTED
SEPARATE WATER FOUNTAINS AND
SEPARATE BATHROOMS.
THEY WANTED SEPARATE SCHOOLS.
THEY WANTED SEPARATE COLLEGES.
THEY WANTED TO BRING BACK THE
RESULTS OF THE CIVIL WAR AND
PRETEND IT NEVER HAPPENED.
I WOULD SAY MR. FORMER
PRESIDENT, I WOULDN'T BRING THAT
UP.
IT'S GOING TO HURT THE COUNTRY
TOO MUCH.
I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO LEAVE
THIS PLACE.
IT DOES NO GOOD TO EMPHASIZE IF
IT'S STILL AMERICA.
INSTEAD THE POLLS MUST BE WORSE
INTERNALLY THAN WHAT WE SEE.
ON WEDNESDAY HE MET WITH -- DID
RADIO INTERVIEWS WITH BLACK
JOURNALISTS.
ON THURSDAY BROWN VS. BOARD OF
EDUCATION FAMILIES.
THEN HE GOES TO THE NAACP AT THE
AFRICAN MUSEUM IN FRONT OF THAT
AUDIENCE AND SATURDAY WE SEE THE
EVENT ENGAGING BLACK VOTERS IN
ATLANTA.
WHERE HE MISCHARACTERIZED THE
GEORGIA ELECTION LAWS AGAIN.
AND THEN ON SUNDAY HE WENT TO
THE NAACP IN DETROIT AND HE SAID
YOU DELIVERED THE WHITE HOUSE
FOR HIM.
>> Lawrence: CAN I PICK UP WHERE
YOU LEFT OFF ABOUT GEORGIA.
THE JIM CROW 2.0 KILLED
BUSINESSES IN GEORGIA.
THEY WERE SET TO HAVE A BOOM
WHEN IT COMES TO THE ECONOMY, AS
WE KNOW ATLANTA AREA IS THE
MODERN DAY BLACK WALL STREET.
A LOT OF BLACK BUSINESSES THERE.
BECAUSE OF THE JIM CROW 2.0
NONSENSE, THE ALL-STAR GAME
LEFT.
ALL THOSE BUSINESSES WHO PREPARE
FOR YEARS FOR THE ECONOMY THAT
WAS GOING TO COME IN, THEY WERE
RUINED AS A RESULT OF THAT.
AND THEY ARE STILL TELLING THE
SAME LIE.
>> Brian: PRODUCTION COMPANIES?
>> Steve: WE KNOW THAT THE POLLS
ARE UPSIDE DOWN FOR JOE BIDEN
BECAUSE BLACK VOTERS ARE FOR THE
MOST PART RUNNING FOR THE EXITS.
SENATOR SPOKE TO A DEMOCRATIC
SENATOR SPOKE TO THE HILL
NEWSPAPER AND SAID THIS ABOUT
WHAT IS GOING ON WITH JOE BIDEN.
HE SAID IF YOU GO OUT THERE AND
DO A FOCUS GROUP.
THE FOCUS GROUPS ALL SAY HE IS
200 YEARS OLD.
YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
THE WORST PART ABOUT IT IS FOR
UNAFFILIATED VOTERS OR PEOPLE
WHO HAVE NOT MADE UP THEIR MIND.
THEY LOOK AT THIS AND SAY YOU
HAVE TO BE KIDDING US?
THESE ARE OUR CHOICES?
AND THEY INDICT US FOR NOT
TAKING IT SERIOUSLY?
THE SENATOR WENT ON TO SAY OF
HIS DEMOCRATIC COLLEAGUES IN THE
SENATE, WE KNOW THIS IS A
PROBLEM BUT ALSO, REALIZE IT'S
TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT
IT.
AND THIS THE TICKET WE HAVE TO
GET BEHIND AND WIN WITH THIS
TICKET.
HE SAYS WE WILL SEE HOW MUCH
GRAVITY WE CAN DEFY BECAUSE
OBVIOUSLY THEY LIKE A DIFFERENT
CANDIDATE BUT IT'S TOO LATE IN
THE RACE.
>> Lawrence: COMPARE THAT TO
WHAT DONALD TRUMP IS DOING THIS
WEEK.
THURSDAY HE WILL BE IN THE
BRONX, NEW YORK.
80% VOTED FOR DEMOCRAT.
HE IS TAKING IT ON RIGHT NOW
SAYING, LISTEN, I WANT TO
PROVIDE SOMETHING NEW TO THE
COMMUNITY I'M GOING TO GET YOU
JOBS AND GIVE YOU THE
OPPORTUNITY.
PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY ZONES THERE
I'M GOING TO GO AGAINST ILLEGAL
IMMIGRATION.
THIS IS YOUR MOMENT.
TO COMPARE THAT MESSAGE OF
INSPIRATION, TO WHAT JOE BIDEN
IS OFFERING.
HE HAD THREE, ALMOST FOUR YEARS
TO DO IT.
AND HE HAS BROUGHT NOTHING BUT
POVERTY AND DESTRUCTION TO ALL
COMMUNITIES.
>> Brian: WHEN YOU DIAL BACK
POLICING AND HURT THE BLACK
COMMUNITY TOO.
PROTECTION.
AND WORKING CLASS AREAS.
AND THE COPS GOING NOT ENOUGH TO
COPS ALL TIME LOW WITH THE NYPD
STARTING TO PARTICULAR UP AGAIN.
TICK UP AGAIN.
MOST CRIME WITH THE MOST COPS.
WE JUST HEARD THAT COPS SHOOT
BLACK MEN FROM THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES AT MOREHOUSE
COLLEGE WHICH IS A REAL HELP
GOING TO BOOST CRIMINAL JUSTICE.
>> Ainsley: AT COMMENCEMENT YOU
SHOULD HAVE SUCH POSITIVE
MESSAGE.
I KNOW MANY PEOPLE IN AMERICA
ARE TIRED OF HEARING THAT
AMERICA IS NOT DOING WELL.
NOT, NOT.
THAT IS LIKE YOU SAID, HE IS THE
PRESIDENT.
IS IT YOUR FAULTED THEN MAYBE?
>> Steve: SEND HIM OUT
OPTIMISTICALLY.
>> Lawrence: I JUST DON'T THINK
ON YOUR BIGGEST DAY, WHICH IS
GRADUATION YOU SHOULD BE TOLD
YOU CAN'T MAKE IT.
>> Ainsley: I AGREE.
THAT YOU ARE A VICTIM.
>> Lawrence: MAKES THEY DID MAKE
IT.
>> Ainsley: MOREHOUSE ONE OF THE
HARDEST SCHOOLS TO GET INTO.
>> Lawrence: WHAT AM GIG TO DO
TO MAKE SURE YOU MAKE IT EVEN
FURTHER.
HE COULD HAVE SAID ANY OF THAT
HE COULD HAVE PICKED SOME OF HIS
NONSENSE PLANS OF PAYING FOR
COLLEGE AND ALL OF THAT INSTEAD
HE SAID YOU CAN'T MAKE IT.
>> Brian: HE BROUGHT THAT UP,
TOO.
FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE WORKED
REALLY HARD TO MAKE SURE THEIR
KIDS DIDN'T HAVE STUDENT LOANS
THEN YOU FIND OUT PEOPLE WHO
TOOK STUDENT LOANS HAD THEM ALL
FORGIVEN.
THINK ABOUT THOSE WORKING CLASS,
MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE DON'T GET
THE FINANCIAL AID AND HAVE THE
MONEY TO PAY.
THEY FIND A WAY TO DO IT.
KID GRADUATES STUDENT LOANS,
EVERYBODY TOOK STUDENT LOANS
SAME SITUATION.
>> Steve: I GOT A FEELING WHAT
WE SEEN OVER THE WEEKEND JOE
BIDEN SUDDENLY ENGAGED TRY TO
FOCUS ON THE RACE THIS IS JUST
THE START IT.
WILL BE A RACE RIGHT UP TO THAT
FIRST DEBATE AND THEN IF HE DOES
BADLY, HE HAS GOT A LITTLE TIME
TO RECOVER.
>> Ainsley: PAY OFF YOUR CREDIT
CARD TOO.
>> Brian: AND PAY OFF YOUR CAR
LOAN.
I THINK IS HE GOING TO SAY FROM
NOW ON, YOU DON'T LIKES ME BUT
DONALD TRUMP IS THE WORST.
