so let's bring in fox nation host tomi lahren and leslie marshall. th that last number that aishah just reported. one in four americans think the build back better plan will actually help them improve their lives. make things easier or better for them. 25%. >> that number is not good. i am a democrat. i've said it before and i'll say it again. democrats, my party, have not done a good job at selling this plan. if you notice, months ago more americans were in favor of it. what has come down? the headlines, the blog, things on social media and the messaging. they're getting more negative messaging. these people are being polled have to be swayed in a positive light. >> martha: or maybe they figured out what is in it, tomi. >> and they realized the last two years of covid, the bigger government model has not worked for americans and now we're about ten months into this administration and he's dismantled the america first agenda. soaring inflation and soaring gas price. people are saying why should we trust you? bigger government has not worked. why shoul

the party panel is back from mesa meister, leslie marshall. lastly, i will start with you.vocal call from people in the squad to defund police across the country. omar, the representative from minnesota, she has talked a lot about taking the money and power away from the cops, is that the best idea? >> it isn't and if you look at the pole, it's not the best idea measures, to within one of this issue in minneapolis and when you look at the people commenting on this, have african-americans concerned how it will affect communities with people of color. you also see people say, i would agree, it's not well written and that is a killer of any ballot measure, i don't care who or what state it's in or what city part of it not written well, it's confusing to the voters, i will go to biggest say is not going to pass. it's good to have social workers there were things police aren't trained to equipped to handle but you don't wipe out the entire police force. right now they can have 880 police, they have 588 currently. kennedy: gunshot victims up 138%. libertarians have been having th

jason chaffetz joining us and leslie marshall, another fox news contributor and democratic strategists which i took a look at those numbers and when you are talking a margin of less than 2000 votes reminds me in some ways of election night 2016 when you were just watching every last vote come in. are you surprised as most people are to see this race so close from the garden state? >> yes, going into this, governor murphy was 9 percentage points ahead and if he does pull this off and i think he will although it will be very close, much closer than i feel comfortable with, that is a call to democrats. i said this before and wrote it in my piece for fox, whether mcauliffe lost virginia or won virginia, if you win, by a very tight margin and either party knows this it is a red flag. there is an alarm that goes out and you've got to say what did we do wrong, what can we do better, how do we not repeat this and that is the same thing going on in new jersey. in new jersey we have middlesex, s6, bergen have votes coming in, they still have mail in votes that come in and all of that does typica

leslie marshall and jason chaffetz. want to begin by asking you, leslie, and the truth is when i look at a race like this one, i'm always reminded of what we say every election that happens in the united states, the democrats get out the birds early, and often come in with huge swaths late in the race because the larger counties tend to have their votes counted last. so based on all that, is it still your suspicion that this is a murphy victory yet to happen? >> yes. because of essex and sussex counties that are typically democratic. look, i've seen them pulling off but not that far. murphy has had a healthy lead going into this election and we are still looking like newark and other places that are very heavily democratic and very heavily pro-murphy. so if i had to say i predict murphy, and in virginia i wasn't really sure who to predict. i knew it was a possibility that mcauliffe would lose and that youngkin will win. i'm surprised he may not win via as large a margin that i would've predicted just a couple days ago.

we want to bring back in fox news computer leslie marshall and the server for the and steven hilton ,k to the all of you. playing a little bit of wisdom sears' speech, if people miss that we can read and she does her to an audience that frankly may not know her. here she is. we don't have it? if we have it, we'll turn around for you so we can play that. to remind people about her story from a very unusual in that she came here from jamaica and she is a marine, her husband is a marine. the woman who is now the first black female elected to statewide office in virginia. has a lot of different interesting positions. accomplish individual. what do you think about hearing for her and the left in virginia tonight? >> she's a superstar in the making and so inspiring to see that speech for me as a new american citizen, i love the way she was so clearly proud to be an american. it shouldn't be something that is surprising or refreshing in our politics. but it is, exactly as brett was saying in relation to the conversation about race. it seemed that recently all you ever hear about in america i

gorman, former communications director for the national republican congressional committee and leslie marshalltor. matt, yours first. >> it was a great dig on the tweet from jen psaki you guys showed. there has been a shell game for a long time from the biden administration how much this will cost. for example, one of the largest pay fors in this bill is $400 billion simply through enforcing more through the irs. they claim they can do that by barely increasing the number of audits. it doesn't make any sense. seems like the cbo will finally call the biden administration out because they are making up numbers. they've been saying for weeks it will cost zero dollars. it's laughable. >> harris: when we crunch the numbers, matt and leslie, the average high is 1.85 trillion cost of the build back better bill combined with other spending initiatives over the past 18 months is actually staggering when you add all that up. the total 8.6 trillion dollars in spending. 12 zeros and president biden attempted a victory lap on this for the passage of his bipartisan infrastructure bill. people in new hampshi

contributors at leslie marshall and justin let's welcome back you. >> hi shannon. >> we've got this issue now tha we know one of the foreign policy advisers or people referenced in the tight meant his cheeks to of the biden administration and formerly wit hillary clinton's team as well. another he's a subject of anything or done anything wrong but this is inching closer. jonathan turley is talking abou this tonight and the fact that schepp has wanted to make a lot about these and turley says thi in the congressmen and committe chair may not have wanted it to come to this he was recap. >> a taft the durum investigation as other democratic leaders try to kill it. towards the end of the trump administration. somewhat ironic to see the good thing the people are being prosecuted behind the way there would be no john durum and this is the indictments i can see them the light of day be met with as a signal to you about the investigation is going to see my quiet for a while and no more regular activity? >> it has taken an exceptionall long amount of time. those closest to it john durum' link on t

it let's bring in the panel, "washington post" columnist marc thiessen, leslie marshall democratic strategistthe wall street journal." bill, the inflation thing is so real dad to everybody acknowledges it now it's the how to prevent a going forward is being debated. >> of course, not just republicans, larry summers also has worried about it openly and joe manchin worries about it quite rightly. the reason i think we have this is because we are asked to believe all these fantasies that this won't cost a dime. first we are told that there is no inflation that it's transitory, none of these things are turning out. you know, the political problem for biden is that you can't spin inflation. people see it. they feel it when they get a sack of groceries or go to the gas pumps. the problem joe biden has is that it's going to affect the passage of build back better, as a reconciliation bill. i think it's going to affect the veracity of his claim that he doesn't tax anyone who earns under 400,000k. if you have raising inflation, your paycheck is being eroded and that's why they're calling the impact on

"the washington post" columnist marc thiessen, leslie marshall, democratic strategist and kimberley strasseloard at the "wall street journal." kimberly, let me start with you, you know, it's not surprising that joe manchin comes out and says i want to see the specifics. i want to see what the impact is going to be. and i'm not just going to pass something without knowing what's in it. he has kind of been saying that all along. where does this go? >> you know, he did actually make some news today, bret. because if you drill down into what he said, a lot of attention to these -- this buzz words about shell games and gimmicks, but he got more specific in that he said look, if you have all these programs and you only have them run a couple of years and you claim that they are going to end when they don't, you know, the bill is actually like twice the amount of 1.75. and i said 1.75. well, if you extrapolate that, it means stuff is going to have to come out of this bill like big programs. he also expressed some concern about the climate provisions. he is not close to a yes and major modifications

leslie marshall fox news contributor.ng on among the liberal folks? >> well, i'm not joy reid or jamele hill and we don't all speak with one mind on the left any more than people on the right speak with one mind. there are different opinions. let's look at the issue in virginia with education and critical race theory. i see race being used politically on boekt sides. on the left they were saying if you didn't believe in critical race theory you are racist. i don't believe that. i'm a democrat but on the right they were saying that critical race theory makes white people feel bad about themselves. i'm white and i also don't believe that. i think there were racists if both parties. i think certainly racist vote but i don't think just because we have somebody who is african-american in power lieutenant governor in virginia or former president barack obama president of the united states that this issue goes away. race and racial issues certainly are an issue. these three women are african-american. i'm not a woman of color cl
