take a look at these numbers. there you see october 2020 and now. and then you've got the other question about the economy. and what do black communities feel, does it match where all of the u.s. in polls is feeling and, yes, the answer is yes. that there are -- the problems about where things stand with inflation, but there you see the breakdown, not as drastic as some different places. so, what about that as the president goes out to go out to
3:43 pm
court black voters votes. let's wring in our panel leslie marshall, trey gowdy former congressman from south carolina and kimberley strassel a member of the editorial board at the "wall street journal." all right, leslie, it's a concern. is he going to these different places. he will give a commencement address at morehouse college. it's obviously on the radar. >> no doubt. you don't want to see any kind of a drop even though i do believe that the african-american community will rally around and vote for president biden again. but, you know, there are feelings, bret, and then there are facts. lowest unemployment in the black community. 2.6 million jobs created in the more jobs created in the black community. half of the poverty among black children cut in half, you're talking about years that you have a historical high in the number of back-owned businesses that are opening and historical high in the number of sba backed loans specifically to black small business owners and i
3:44 pm
could go on but i don't want to take up all the time here. so i think it's important for the president to get out there and to talk about all of these areas that the black community isn't hearing about because what they are hearing about from mr. west, who is running for president, and who is an african-american, is we need to be angry at joe biden because back in the day he put more black people in jail. that's the message that they are hearing, not the information that i gave prior to that. >> bret: yeah. trey? >> trey: i don't think inflation cares what color your skin is i don't think the cost of higher education cares about race. and, you know, bret, you will recall, president trump championed justice reform way before it was popular to do so. in fact, it's still not popular among republican primary voters to talk about reforming our criminal justice system and, yet, he did it. so, i would separate black female voters from black male voters. maybe president trump doesn't do better with black female voters but i think he will with black
3:45 pm
male voters. >> bret: kimberley on the economy there are a number of different factors how people feel about it. obviously inflation has been a big part that we have seen in polls. here is former president trump, then president trump and joe biden back in the debates talking about the stock market. >> they say the stock market. >> don't have time to talk about it. >> if he is elected, the stock market will crash. >> the idea that the stock market is booming is his only measure of what's happening. >> bret: all right. so, today, obviously we have the first historic close above 40,000. you look at the dow for one year, president biden has made a point to not say the direct correlation between a success and the market but if you look at the graph, it is impressive. what about that, kimberley. >> well that, is certainly a stat out there and one that some people would take some appreciation of. and, leslie gave some more stats as well, too. the problem is not necessarily the fact, it's perception. and as trey was noting,

inflation drags down everything. the higher cost of energy, of gas, people are having a much harder time getting by. and that crosses across every single demographic. i think the other issue is joe biden is not making that case to people. if you listen to these speeches he has been giving, is he weary about talking about the economy because he knows that there is problems. and so instead he has been trying what he used back in 2022 and 2020, beating on donald trump and saying if he is elected is he going to take away your right to vote. i'm not sure a lot of black voters actually buy that. and it certainly is not persuasive for those who feel as though they have got much bigger problems that the president is not addressing. >> bret: speaking of black voters, historic black colleges and universities, senator warner was upset from virginia saying that because you are going outside of the commission of presidential debates, virginia state made history as the first
3:47 pm
hbcu to ever be selected to hold auto presidential debate. biden and trump should stick to the plan and head to virginia for a debate. well, fox offered a vice presidential debated hopefully at virginia state university. talked to the school. and then that official went out and the trump campaign and the former president accepted saying on behalf of the future vice president of the united states, who i have not yet chosen, we hereby accept the fox vice presidential debate hopefully at virginia state university, the first historically black college and university to host a debate. a date to be determined. i urge vice president kamala harris to agree to this. make america great again. we will see what happens as far as biden-harris campaign and whether they do take that but, leslie, it is interesting, this whole, you know, formation of how these debates are coming together. >> yeah, i don't think what president biden here did was wrong. and i think there is republican buddies smart thing. people are voting earlier. people vote different ways and
3:48 pm
you move it up. one, two, we have also seen studies from harvard business school and others that show that these debates don't move the needle. people that like trump aren't going to switch to biden and vice versa over the debate. the undecideds the needle hasn't moved on them. so what kind of, you know, help do this do? i don't think that we need three. i think it's good to move two up. honestly i do hope that vice president kamala harris accepts the debate that the former president with the unknown vice president on his ticket for this next time around have already accepted. >> bret: speaking of that speaking of that, let's head to a place we like to call candidate casino. and we will do this for that unnamed, yet to be named vice presidential pick. you have got $100 this chips. trey, first to you. who is former president trump going to pick? >> i have $50 on tim scott. i have 20 on elise stefanik i have 10 on mike pompeo and j.d. vansz. and i'm going to keep 10 just in
3:49 pm
case he doesn't pick anyone and decides to do both jobs himself. >> bret: ha ha ha, okay. kim, 100 bucks. >> okay, 25 each on doug burgum and tim scott. i have got 20 on mike pompeo and elise stefanik and then i have got 10 on marco rubio. >> bret: all right, leslie? >> i got 40 on doug burgum and 30 each on tim scott and elise stefanik. >> okay. similar bets. thank you very much. the cage is closed. stay with us. up next the friday lightning round with congressional chaos. supreme court controversy. plus winners and losers and a special edition of "notable quotables." ♪ of listerine to your routine. new science shows listerine is 5x more effective than floss at reducing plaque above the gumline. for a cleaner, healthier mouth. ahhhhh. listerine. feel the whoa!

night, this hearing. senator fetterman, pennsylvania democrat reacting to this congressional hearing saying in the past i have described the u.s. house as the jerry springer show. tonight i'm apologizing to the jerry springer show. we're back with the panel. trey, you have been in some committee hearings. this was a little surreal. yeah. >> yeah, people ask me from time to time if i miss congress last night bret made me miss the british monarchy.

further embarrassing, let me tell you why. when they say women are too emotional to hold a place in the house, and i'm not talking about the kitchen. when they say that women, you know, shouldn't be attacked for the physical appearance. women attacking each other for the physical appearance and then sadly enough, there are americans that are voted for these individuals to represent us in congress. you know, i'm sorry. seriously, can i only slap myself in the head. it's beyond embarrassed. it's just so frustrating. >> bret: yeah.

they had in fact put signs out with expletives in them. some of them directed at his wife. and it his wife who did this to send a little bit of a message back. so, i think that's explanation enough. this seemed clearly aimed at the latest chapter of pressure and intimidation to try to get conservative justices to step back from cases. and you are already hearing as you just said calls that he should recuse himself. people have their eyes in particular on this immunity case over donald trump and the january 6th cases. and i think that's what this was aimed at. >> bret: all right. winner and loser, real quick, trey? >> trey: winner is scotty shelf ler, bret. you and i have both been arrested and both shot 66 but not on the same day. loser bobby kennedy. robert f. kennedy jr. he is the one thing that trump and biden agree on. he shouldn't be on the debate stage.
