Of sight, out ofout of mind, an. Good reason, because joe ise joe deeply. His approval rating, itr. Is hovering in the lowoval rat. Biden he is hemorrhaging support among black latinoters and young voters. President is also struggling to raise money. Donations have dipped significantly since 2020, and the majority of americans think biden has an ethics problem. You think . No surprise there. But now his campaign is tryingd to capitalize on joes malevolent sidm. E with new dark brand and merchandise, merchandise that is sure to save the day, dont you think . Joining us now with reaction, Fox News Contributor concha fox and Friends Weekend cohost prll caix n and former Senior Adviser to president bill clinton, doug schoees cline well, i was going to start by asking you if you plan to get dark branded mugs for fox and friends like were doing on outnumbered. But dark bt i wont stop there. 10. 2 million. That is what joe biden got in small dollar donations, 200 or less. That is half of what president barack obama got. And he has a plan to save the day. R less. At presi its the dark brandonput up merchandise. Lets put up the crop top. I want to see you compet te in this crop top thats going to save the day. Apparently, will. But they say that this portrays the 80 year old president. This is axioold prs as a two sts ahead machiavelli. Does that describe joe biden to you . Oh, absolutely. Just a few creaky steps of the rest of us. Thats going to be a tough sell. Caylee, i think is going to befh a tough sell to america. And im not talking about the merchandise. Its the positive vision of america. Se to amer, the the thing that americans can latch on to, to say that represents better tomorrow. You know, this week has been fascinating in that its a tale of two president s, both with their own controversies. President trum s been fp with his thirddictment indictment will undoubtedly once again seetably, Poll Numbs Go up in response to that indictment. And jonte biden, we begin honestly, its the beginning of the deposition phase. We begin to hear about his of corruption with men like devon archer. Were still to hear from men likesition phase, wehis corn sees his Poll NumbersrDecline Thisthis is limping ani dont think it will even limp across the finis i h line. Kelly, i do not think joe biden will be the democratic nominee for president , and thats a big claim. So you think its going to be gavin . I think hes the most logical alternative. I dont se logint joe bidee how they could possibly turn to kamala. I know theres the argument. How could they possiblive to is away from kamala with the way theyve double down, tripled down on identityaw politics . Lits but i think theres a level of f competency thats required com. Everyone can see she does not pass that level. So, yeah, i think the most likely alternative is gavin newsom. Joe, you know, when i was White House Press secretary during the 2020 election, there was the socalled basement strategywhite. Ill never forget it. Donald trump taking off for 3 to 4 rallies. President biden called a lid. Soon to be President Joe Biden cause a lid. But now its the indictment strategy, which is really the same strategy. Its high. Aes that e gy whichjoe on trump. And it made me remember about this passage that came out in politico. Eli stokols one day after biden declared his in april of this year and eli stokols said this, bidens campaignchesi launch is immediately overshadowed by other eventsmm and his team loves it. The president Wantesidens A Dege to be the political background noise. Joe, you know this, covering the media. Every president ial candidate wants to be front and center,nt not background noise, but nobet joe. Not joe because he does not want this election to be a referendum on his presidency, wee seven in ten americans say that his handling of the economy is poor. Where we see crime drivingerican americans out of majors American Cities from new york to chicago to San Francisco into Red Stateiscos Le Florida and texas and tennessee, we see whats happening atd texas see. Re th the border. More than 7 million entele entering this countryllie illegally since joe biden took d office and nothing is being done about it. And on education, which is never discussed enough, keli asked. Test scores are at a 30 year low. Joe biden, to your point acin 2020, by pleading the fifto from the comfort of his own home, his alliesint in in the media portrayed him as a moderate when obviously now we see democrats will tell you he is the most liberal president of our lifetimes. So bottom line is, joe biden was portrayed also as a decent man, as a man that would bringto Normalcy Back to washington, d. C. And its been anything but normal. It has been chaos. Major scandals embroiling despite the fact that obviously the media focusing on trump right now. Dogs and cats living together. A. Tiest arethe and joe biden now has to own his record as he runs forrecord president in 2024. And thats a record that not many president s would want to run on at this point, kelly. No, i certainly wouldnt want to. Doug. Dog, l i mean, you look at his polloo numbers among black voters, latino voters, young voters,g ve his base, and theyre depressed. And nate cohn at the newrs base, times,es he said this. The Biden Campaign cant necessarilsaid they count on anp sentiment alone. It may need to de. O some to reassemble and mobilize a winning coalition. So bidens on the beach, but nate cohn saying, you cant sit back on this one. You got to putg you in some wo. Your thoughts . Well, what i would say is nate cohn hasnt run president ial campaigns. I have and joe biden is doing the right thing at this for his campaign, which is staying out of washington when devin mercurys testifying and Donald Trumps being indicted to the third time. Joe bidens greatest asset sinki is trump. Trump is sinking with swing ng swivoters, independents, subn women, and the polls showead. Biden one point. Put another way, undeniably. But biden is weak. Hes in danger zone. I bun the t i believe that stayinw profile, which i understandple,i frustrates people is probably the best strategs e y for him ay this point. I think he will stay low profile and that there will be, in fact, Constituency Building Efforts this fall and into next year. You know, theyre tied in the New York Times poll, though. Theyre tiedn in thelook a New York Times poll. And i mean, you look at the gop field, theyre in iowa, theyre int eld, new hampshire. I understand what youre saying. You know, let the focus be on trump. But shouldnt he be puttingbut in just an iota of work other g . N just vote fund raisinshou well, bottom line, hes tied. His numbers are very weak, kelly. As you point out, the times poll showe out, thd and their ec messaging has failed, it hasnt worked. And i dont think theres any reason to believ. S any e it wil. So for now, this is probably the best strategy. Campaigns focus on the broader ,which for him is frankly not been particularly successful. So they are going to low profil pe and will do Constituency Building with these weak groups as a way of trying to buttress support in an election that i think will b every be every bit as close as 2020. Well, quick final word to you here. When you look at the scoreboard in my book, heres my scoreboard. Republicans need to improve with suburban women. Republicans have a risk after a bruising primary to have folks who sit on the sidelines. Republicans also need to recognizery to ha sidelin it, stupid, didnt work in the midterms because democratsy, prevailed. On the democrat side, youve got low voter enthusiasm, didnte they approval is down for joe biden in key groups. As i just mentioned, approval is down. Thats the scoreboard today. If the elections today, who wins . Trump or biden . Mentio you know, im not im notne trying to dodge your questioup keli, that i think no one has the ability to say that, belik this election,igh, 2024 will be unprecedented. Dogs analysis is Correctay Regar in that its the only possible 2024strategy for joe biden what to attempt to do what he did in 2020, to hang out in the background and try to make this about donaldback trump. But we can listen to most of the rhetoric on the left right now. Dori. S Kearns Goodwin on msnbc the other day said, we have to to avoid donald trump winning an election. Thats quite a statement. And shes not alone in saying, in other words, subvert the democratic process to ensure that donaltrction is d trump does not again become president. So we have no idea whats to come over next 18 months. 8 ms and my only rebuttal then to doug would be this. The reason joe biden thereforelo cant run that same strategy is a hes no dou reason t a blae anymore. Hes got four years of track record for people to vote onfoua and b, hes got his own bubbling scandal that i promise you is going to get much, much bigger. So because of those factors, kelly, buckle up. The next bs, 18 months will not follow any traditional historical political analysis. No doubt about it. Its not the october surprise. Its the is. Surprise per week, itk, it e seems like right now. Joe concha, will cain and doug schoen, thank you very much. So get this, joe repeatedly refuses to comment on the Trump Indictments. Commen he insists that he has ant nt entirely independent dojs. Do you remember this . Mr. President , what do you say to americans, convince them that they should trust the independence and fairness of the justiceyour when your predecessor, donald trump, repeatedly attacks . Because you notice, i have never once, not one single time suggested the Justice Department what they should do or not do to bring a charge and operate a charge. Im honest. Im honest. That was i mean, that wasbut bu a little creepy, but not so quick. In april, New York Times article titled bidens response to trumps indictment four ways to say no comment. Hes really good at that, isnt he . Well, they have this passageassa buried 14 paragraphs dowge. N. Ha they always bury the really big news way deep downllnews way as youll notice here. Heres the quote. Nos, he beingopinion, as y joe biden in the past. Mr. Biden, private, told his close circle of advisers that mr. Trump posedt mr a three to democracy. And heres the big point. And he shoulmoacd be prosecutedr his role in the events of january 6th. He also told confident confidants that he wanted attorney general Merrick Garland to stop acting like a ponderous judge and to take decisive actioden. Is st that is stunning. Biden privately toldan aides tht trump should be prosecuted for s january 6th, and he wanted Merrick Garland to take decisiveary 6th, action. That is an explosive allegation in the New York Times. The New York Times reporters, they are quick to brag when their reporting is confirmed by a jack smith indictment. T all you got to do is g o look at their twitter feeds. Jonathan swan, he said this, a striking amount of the jack smith indictment is Material Maggie and other colleagues first reported. And maggie haberman, sheaberma is emails from this story luke and i did overn, year ago on page 24 of the indictment. They lovo e to brag, but why are they radio silent about their own reporting that joe biden wanted to see a january six indictment of his chief political rival . Why arent they following upy a on this . And where is the Pressthey Foll has Karine Jeanpierre been asked about this . Nope. Nohas joe biden . No, he hasnt. Where is the socalledial pres adversarial press pursuing this explosive lead . Thisve leat it. Joining us now is fox news legal analyst Gregg Jarrett foxn news contributor jason chaffetz, the author of gr fox newsillersy ad slash contributor, kimberley strassel. Kimberly, this reporting is from katie rogers. I was a reporter. I workedr ki with Briefly Whenmp i was on the trump campaign. Shes a credible reporter. She cites two sources familiar. With the conversation that say biden privately told aides trump should be prosecuted and that he wanted garland to take decisive action. What do you make of that . Well, this is how it works in washington, right . I mean, biden was never going to produce a memo and send it to the Department Of Justice outlining his wishes. Nobody does that. S wish they all want plausible deniability when it comes to Sendingesbody Doet Puzzle or. But instead, he tells that tells clos he confidant close circle f competence. And then those Confidants Tell ,others. And that message gets to Merrick Garland. And its why, by the way, to im sure jack smith is going to be asked at some point, you know, did Merrick Garland asked atd or did Merrick Garland tell you to do this or not do this . Did you talk to the president . He didnt need to. This has been broadcast from day one. And even if biden never, nevero said prosecute him, hes given di speeches where he ha hes talked about how donald trump is a Threas Peeches t to e country. Hes made very clear how he feels about this. And everybodys Noa Thre Made W the wishes of the boss. Greg, when you look at this, just as an average american citizen, you see two Trump Indictments from the doj. You see no investigation of the d. 10231023 the cushy plea deal. And then you ask, wheres robert . Her . If you if you dont know his name, i dont dont blame you for that. Hes guy looking into the biden docs. Jonathan turley said his face belongs on a milk carton at this point. How can you not believe that ther in e is a two Tiered Justim System . Oh, There Absolutel Y is. And the American Public knows it, which is why after the indictments, trumps ratings go up and the money begins to flow in on donations. I look, joe biden doesnt havei to direct Merricrectk Garland in his doj prosecutors ind to indicict his political opponent. The people running the department were picked by joe biden, so theyre doing his bidding happily so. And garland selected jack smith as Special Counsel becausek smi he has a notorious track record of bringing politically Becausenotorioumotivated Proses by Bastardize Mean The Law and th by e sixth indictment is such an example. You know, for the first time in american jurisprudence, the firssmith is making it a Cr A Politician to utter Falsecl Claims and act on those claims in a government functionai to wn an election. If thats the new legal standardif thatandard for just about everybody in washington belongs behind bars, hillarybar. Clinton, youll recall, invented and funded the Collusion Liy Clinto E conspired with others to defraud the fbi with a phony dossier to Smearon Trump and steal the election. S perfectlyow, that okay. No indictment because hillary is a democrat. The Political Landscape l is littered with government actions. Is kimberly pointed out in her column based on false claims or lies, including joe biden looking at the devine archer testimony. I theres these 20 plus phone calls that Joe Biden Wasbi part of. But whats illustrative to me and most interesting in the devon archer testimony is this do by incident because its Illustrativhat Thise of tha 20 calls. Theyre in dubai. Theyre at the four seasons. Thisi, a hunter and the head of burisma. And theyre having drinkfour s together. And then all of a sudden you have the head of burisma saying of , get on the phone with dc. Hunter puts his dad on speaker phone. Devon archer wasn Get T Privytv to that conversation. Th muche days later, Aftery Pressure has been put on to get Viktor Shokin out the door, the prosecutor looking into burisma, joe biden shows up in ukraine and says its not enough to set up a new vit Corruption Bureau and establish special prosecutors. The office of the general new anticorruprosecutorptblish, desperately needs reform. Coincidencsecutorse . No, no, absolutely not. Utely noi mean, what we learn from th the testimony is that the Proof Of Concept was the idea that joe biden, via hunter biden and and his minions that were around him, that they could move the levers of power. And they did it they did it in ukraine. They wanted that prosecutor gone. And guesd they do they dids wha . He was gone. In romania, they tried to overturn it. Use the Department Of Justice to lean on the Romanians Convget rid of a conviction. And you know what . Ey g they gotot . It didnt actually work
