we are back with dan heninger, kim strassel and jason riley.scriminate against asian americans in particular. what the evidence to back their case? >> asian americans are being admitted in love much lower percentages than in the past while the percentage of black americans being admitted into those schools has been rising. the plaintiffs notably the asian american plaintiffs argue this is a violation of title vi of the civil rights act which if you receive federal-aid you should not discriminate on the basis of race. the colleges keep arguing they are trying to create a diverse student body and they cite the 2003 supreme court decision gruner which gave them an opening to consider race in admissions policy. the question is whether the gruner decision is being abused by the universities. have they gone too far in considering the admission of black americans at the expense of asian americans and other minorities, even hispanics as well. that is what is at issue? have they gone too far and with a conservative supreme court, it is possible the plai

we're back with kim stras ising, dan henninger and jason riley are. dministration do this, and what's the justification for it? >> well, i think this fits a pattern of the biden administration deferring to union interests. you know, whether we're talking about getting kids back into schools or putting labor-friendly provisions in spending bills, this just fits that pat a earn. they spent spent a lot of money to get him elected, and this is how he's paying them back. this specifically has to do with expanding the definition of employees to include independent contractors. and the administration wants to do that because it'll be easier or to organize these workers and, again, this is something that labor wants to do. that's one of the reasons they are for this. but it could also mean that it's more expensive to hire employees, could lead to more unemployment. so there are going to be trade ahs here. paul: yeah, kim, in doing this, they're overwriting or rewriting a trump rule that had clarified statutes to say who, how an independent contractor could be

and joining us with reaction, fox news contributors jason riley, lisa boothe and sean duffy.we have from women to every race. i i mean, i've never seen the number of diverse candidates on the republican side like we do this time. >> yeah, it's really the democrats' worst nightmare. they don't want to see diversity in republican candidates because they try to paint the republican party as racist. to the extent the republicans are fielding more diverse candidates, it makes it harder to make that case. but this is a trend that predates biden. we saw this with donald trump, we did much better in 2020 among both blacks and hispanic, andst it's no secret why. record low unemployment, record low poverty rates. all that's been reversed under biden, so it's no surprise to me that you see more minorities reaching out to republicans. rachel: yeah. and it's the numbers, because you look at hispanics, for example, lisa, no group is more dissatisfied with the biden administration than hispanics. so what do you attribute that to, and what do you make of the number of female candidates now,

jason riley and fox news contributor, david car lucci former new york state senator. the reports of the president saying that his mental health definitely legitimate questions about that, if people want to ask but just watch him. >> well, there is a rule of thumb in politics that says when your opponents are beating up on one another, just get out of the way and let them have at it. so that's what democrats seem to be doing right now, dealing with president's age and questions about his competence. i think republicans should just let democrats have at it right now. if i were them i would stay focused on the president's poll syracuse inflation, the border, issues like that. energy independence and so forth. they are failing policies and they would be failing whether the president was pushing 80 or 40. >> harris: david, what do you think when you hear that? that maybe democrats are making too much out of his age? >> well, i think jason is right. it doesn't matter if the president is 80 or 40. it doesn't matter the stumbles that they have along the way as long as they are

. >> dana: jason riley of the "wall street journal" he wrote this today.rm slate is more diverse than ever. what do you call a black republican? black voters deserves more options and thanks to more black republicans on the ballot in november they have them. what would you like to do if you were elected, what would you like to be able to do? job number one? what are the people of indiana asking for? >> i think the people of indiana are asking to be heard and so we have a congressman who has voted strictly with nancy pelosi 100% of the time. congressman is representing the d.c. elite here in northwest indiana as opposed to representing hoosiers in washington, d.c. that's the clear disconnect we continue to experience. so they want to be heard so i get the time to knock on doors and to listen. i don't just come around during election season. we have been working for 14 months listening and paying attention to the needs of voters. i look forward to being a representative and reflective of the values and ideals that rest here in northwest indiana. >> dana: wha

jason riley "wall street journal" columnist. of staff senator mitch mcconnell marie harp former spokesperson under president obama. marie, we had to tell that one. there were a couple others in there inflation rates and that sort of thing. it seems like the white house is, to ron klain he was denying they are getting to the committee pitch late but they are getting to the committee pitch late. >> there is good economic news. we talked about it some of it today. we have had record job growth. record low unemployment. but, of course, inflation is the thing that most people care about. gas prices are coming down and the argument that this is a global phenomenon which it is isn't a great one on the campaign trail. we have passed legislation that will reduce prescription drug costs. we have helped get gas prices down the things the democratic led congress has done are pushing costs down and if republicans take over they will repeal those things or they just don't have a plan. that's the argument democrats are making and don't forget
