To start landing some Haymakers Biden and trump are in Georgia Today and were going to zero in on the swingstate voters. Theyre both targeting with experts who know how to win them. Plus no ceasefire, know hostage deal before the muslim holy month of ramadan and no relief to the humanitarian crisis. Ill speak with someone who said shes frustrated my who is being put out front to defend the us strategy on gaza. And the parents of tyre nichols, they were guests to President Bidens 2023 his State Of The Union, when they want to meet with him after they say they were blindsided by a vote in the Tennessee State house. They will join me live im victor blackwell. Lets start the show the president ial race is heading to Georgia Today. It will be the first weekend of the 2020 camp 20 2024 campaign. I should say where President Biden and former President Trump are. Again, theyre partys presumptive nominees. So now its time for the candidates to fine tune these messages and swing states that could decide the rematch. President biden is framing his accomplishment is bringing people together. He says his predecessors policies are divisive honesty, decency, fairness, equality, just treating people fairly. I really mean it. We dont always live up, but that thats the american creed. Donald trump sees the story differently. He sees a story of resentment, revenge, retribution former President Trump, after his Super Tuesday wins, claims. The opposite African American, Asian American hispanic american, women, men, people with diplomas from the best schools in the world and people that didnt graduate from high school, every single group was doing better than ever before. And it was a beautiful thing. Our country was coming together ive got through experts with me to talk politics. Camila moore is the chair of the Georgia Black Republican Council and Howard Franklin is the former chair of the Georgia Democratic partys African American caucus. Hes now a strategist. Welcome to your both kabilor. Let me start with you. Okay. So both of the likely nominees are here in the state georgia is important, especially because of the swing states. Georgia has the largest percentage of black voters, 33 a president ial voters. What does he need to do . What is President Trump need to do to win those voters here . I think he needs to run on what he did when he was president the last time. And he has to make the message relatable. In other words, the things that made him successful in terms of the things that he did for the black community, he needs to hone in on that and say that what he will do if hes reelected, that he would do more because he didnt get a chance to have a second term is why all of those big items that he had on the table for black america, particular Black Georgians he has an opportunity at that point to say, i will be able to achieve at all. I gave you a little bit, i need another four more years to do the other things that ahead on the table. And as you know, the things that we talked about was that the economy for the black community, criminal justice reform, how he dealt with historical black colleges, and just the entrepreneurship and the deregulation. So those things to be his point, well come back to the point that he made in South Carolina in just a moment. But for the former the current president s, his case here. Yeah. I think continuing the progress, right. Thats essentially what President Biden has been campaigning on, finishing the job has been record job creation. Theres so much effort to close the racial wealth gap. So many, so many issues that this president has been able to be successful on to say its really actually kind of incredible to see how quietly hes been able to make this progress. And unfortunately, what he needs to do is really communicate more of the progress at this country has made coming out of this recession or at least out of, out of the pandemic, et cetera. More communication on the accomplishments that have actually actually happened all across the country. And even with those accomplishments will come back to the poll numbers that show that hes trailing former President Trump. You talked about the appeal that the former president should make to black voters in georgia and across the country . Heres what he said to a group of black voters in South Carolina the mug shot, weve all seen the mug shot. And you know who embraced it more than anybody else. The black population, its incredible. You see black people Walking Around with my mug shot. You know, they do shirts and they sell them for 19 a piece its pretty amazing. Millions by the way, millions of these things have been cells. So i dont know if im proud of it or not proud of it. And camila, you agree with that . You told ward is quote, the black community can really sympathize with what trump is going through because of our history say more. So let me just share a little bit about my background. Im a government employee. Most of my life has been in the black immunity. And so i live in a black community, so i talk among my community, and i think historically the criminal Justice System has not been our friend in america are percentagewise. Theres more black males and costs are rated more black women incarcerated. So where am i going with this . So we know that typically when someone doesnt or unable to afford a great attorney, they get a da and they get a plea. And so when this occurred, im getting calls from members of my community and theyre laughing and said, you know what . Glad he gets a feel, what we feel okay. But youre not suggesting that trump can afford a good attorney because tens of millions of dollars actually of other peoples money paid for. But i thought your question was why were black people saying what they were saying about his ability to be that situation was relatable in terms of does the criminal Justice System can it because what it does two black american, it shows that it happens to someone thats a fluent, that its white, that can be a mug shot. And those were the conversations from my community. Now, you can agree or disagree, but those were the calls. Those were the conversations that are getting from people going to vote for him because of it. Oh, absolutely not. I think your question was my remark in reference to black people giving are having a discussion about the mug shot and the fact that he was indicted and what that how was that relatable . To black people in the black community so much so. And back here, i mean, i guess you can at least say this is an improvement on his outreach to black voters. May years ago, when he asked what the hell have you got to lose but i think a lot of folks have already spoken out about this and you know whether or not you feel like its maybe has some racist undertones. Maybe if you see black voters, only seeing the criminal Justice System as the first and foremost issue that theyre concerned about. I would say that black voters are sophisticated. Any other voters, and they are concerned about a whole range of issues. And i think weve seen over the course of last several years and this presidency really, President Biden speaking out and making progress on a whole range of issues that matter to black vote, even with all of that, President Biden is still trailing former President Trump on the latest poll by four points outside of the margin of error. Every poll ive seen across the state shows him trailing why, why thats a great question. I mean, i think a number of things contribute to it. Ive one of the biggest ones is what i mentioned earlier President Biden has really set to the work of actually improving his country, pulling us out of the pandemic working on a number mirror, he had a big issues and not it really done. One of the things that we oftentimes see democrats do, which is putting your head down and doing the work and not talking a whole lot about it. He definitely has to get out there and communicate to voters on, again, the myriad of issues that he is really produced. Message. Its just that he hasnt said it. I dont think its just the message, but enough. I dont say its just a message. I think that not slowly saying it, but then showing through surrogacy, through his own active campaigning, i think again, when youre in the presidency, you think because youre on television, or youre cutting ribbons, et cetera, that folks are getting the message directly. I dont think they are or i dont think they have at the same vibration, they need to. And i think today well be a great testament to that point with both the former president and President Biden here in georgia to see exactly what kind of crowds they draw, what kind of excitement they can bring in a statement of, i just say the State Of The Union. We really saw an energetic biden if he can show, if you could keep that same energies again, people like to say, i think people will respond to. All right, how are franklin camila, more ive got a rapid there. Thank you so much and we will of course, well watch both events here in rome, georgia, and atlanta as the president , former president come here meet with the georgia voters. Thank you so much. Thank you another story, voters are watching closely the ceasefire and hostage deal unlikely to happen before the start of Ramadan Tomorrow evening, the us has pushed for a deal before ramadan, israel has threatened a Ground Offensive in rafah, if there is not a deal by the start of the muslim holy month, the Biden Administration insists that israel has already accepted the broad terms of a sixweek pause and that hamas is holding out. But critics accused the white house of calling for a ceasefire while enabling israels war efforts in the washington post, our next guest writes this, the Biden Administration has deployed black women as both Velvet Gloves and iron fist in respect to israels latest assault on gaza. At both enforcing us complicity in this atrocity and attempting to soften its appearance joining me now is karen a columnist for the washington post. Thank you so much for being with me before we get to the most recent column focus on the Vice President and the Us Ambassador to the united nations. I want your reaction to now these announcements of a port being built to bring in aid into gaza. This now Eric Aid Corridor and the airdrops your reaction to this aid as of late from the us and other countries yeah. I think ultimately it doesnt answer or help the main question are the main problem, right . Which is the us supplying the bombs that are being dropped on gaza . And many people already who criticized the air drops and all that. Many have questioned whether or not it is really possible and really true that the us, the worlds premier superpower, can really have a temporary Military Presence anywhere. Of course, the Biden Administration has said that there will not be troops on the ground, but it still leaves open questions of yes, having this port that opens, how will it still reach inland . The people who needed the most . Weve seen all the footage of protesters, israeli protesters, again, Letting Aid Trucks by ground go into the areas where it is needed. And were seeing these polls of just the resistance from israel to letting humanitarian aid reach where it is needed the most let me ask you about your latest column in which you call out the use of the Vice President , Kamala Harris and the Us Ambassador to the united nations, linda thomas greenfield, as quote, the faces of americas ugly gaza policy. You write about the Vice President. She was not the face of bidens week yes. Then she was the face of continued us cruelty toward palestinians with a spoonful of hashtag, Black Girl Magic to make the poison go down. A little easier . Or is it your suggestion here is make a plane for us. You believe this administration is putting black women forward because they they are black women to sell this policy i think that when this Administration First came on, i think a huge part of the appeal of the Biden Administration has been obviously the connection to black voters through the Vice President being Vice President to obama hamas, with Kamala Harris, we heard a whole lot about the first black women, women being Vice President. I do think the president , Vice President , excuse me, giving remarks about calling for only a temporary ceasefire when people have been asking him particularly black people, we saw 1,000 black pastors asking for a permanent ceasefire to juxtapose. I do think it was a deliberate framing to juxtapose that with the anniversary of Bloody Sunday in which black civil rights protesters are marching against the racial apartheid or my remarks for cheney against american state brutality. In order to do nothing with stopping the bombing, with stopping the oppression frankly, of palestinians while juxtaposing that with black American Civil Rights struggle, i saw that as pretty darkly cynical. Do Vice President didnt come out, harris Ambassador Linda Thomas greenfield, who voted twice at the un against ceasefires. Yes, i think that they are doing their job, but honestly, a lot of us black women, weve been in a group chats. Weve been talking about how deeply, almost painful. I think it feels to see that while white men are still making these decisions, its often black. Womens faces being used to work to sell this house. The Vice President or linda thomasgreenfield, of whom you say in the eyes of the world, green for my colin powell is a black face providing cover for americas direct and indirect brutality and the arab world how were they any more the face of this, then the Secretary Of State antony blinken, who has been traveling All Over The World, then even the defense secretary lloyd austin, a black man. Why why would you say that they are the faces . Is this more than the other members of the administration . I think we can say even from reports, i think theres difference between faces and difference between people who are actually calling the shots and making actual lets say very, very consequential Policy Decisions we can i think again, for me, what really struck me was the optics of the Vice President , again using the blacks are liberation, protest, struggle right against apartheid and oppression here visa. And i think is a very deliberate choice and so to me, i think thats, thats what hurts me and not just stopped, but again, were looking at a broad based, not just black americans, not just air of americans, but were looking at a broad base of democratic voters deeply unhappy with the Biden Administrations gaza policy lets see, and it just it doesnt cut it anymore. Hashtag representation matters, just doesnt cut it anymore. And were looking for a broad change in policy and approach. All right. Kara tia. Thank you so much for being with me. Coming up.
