‘The Five’: It’s ‘red alert’ for Democrats

RED ALERT FOR DEMOCRATS HEADING INTO MID-TERMS. CONGRESSIONAL DEMS ARE TANKING AGAIN. SMASHED BY SOME BRUTAL NEW PALM NUMBERS. ONLY 19% APPROVE OF THE WAY THE DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS ARE HANDLING THEIR JOB, WHILE 72% DISAPPROVE. SO HOW DID THEY FIX IT? APPARENTLY BY ACTING MORE LIKE PRESIDENT TRUMP. CHECK OUT THIS HEADLINE FROM “THE WASHINGTON POST.” “DEMOCRATS TRY A NEW TONE, LESS SCRIPTED, MORE CURSING, TRUMPIER INSULTS,” PARTY LEADERS ARE SWEARING, USING AGA INSULTS, MORE DIRECT TO CAMERA VIDEOS, EMBRACING HOURS LONG PODCAST APPEARANCES, AND TRYING TO PROJECT A RAW AUTHENTICITY THAT TO DEMOCRATS FRUSTRATIONS MANY O ASSOCIATE WITH TRUMP. HOWEVER, RAW AUTHENTICITY ISN’T A TERM USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEMOCRATS, SOME LAWMAKERS TAKING CRITICISM FOR POSTING SOME INTERESTING STUFF. WATCH HERE. ♪ ♪ >> ALL RIGHT. >> TRADE DATES. >> WELCOME TO TRAIN TAKES. I AM JASON CROW OF COLORADO. ♪ ♪ >> Sandra: BUT NOT ALL HOPE IS LOST. IT LOOKS LIKE THE LEFT MIGHT HAVE FINALLY FOUND THEIR OWN LIBERAL JOE ROGAN. BUT IT IS JAIME HARRISON? THE FORMER DNC CHAIR? HE NOW HAS THE PODCAST WHERE HE IS INTERVIEWING THE LIKES OF HUNTER BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS’ FAILED RUNNING MATE TIM WALZ. WATCH. >> THE BAND WAS PLAYING. THE CHEERLEADERS WERE THERE, FOOTBALL TEAM IN THE BACK. OUT OF THE BLUE THE VICE PRESIDENT SAYS OH, YEAH, I WAS A BAND KID. I’M LIKE WHAT? YOU GOT TO TELL PEOPLE — WHEN YOU ARE A BAD KID, YOU ARE A BAD KID. WHAT DONALD TRUMP DOES SO WELL IS IDENTIFY ISSUES WITH PEOPLE. HE DOESN’T DO A DAMN THING TO FIX THEM AND THEN EXPORT THEM AND TURNS IT INTO FEAR. YOUNGER WHITE MEN, YOUNGER LATINO MEN, YOUNGER AFRICAN AMERICAN BEEN, WE HAVE SLIPPED. >> Sandra: SO JESSE, LET’S JUST SAY THIS IS THE STRATEGY FOR DEMOCRATS, TO BE MORE LIKE TRUMP. COULD THEY PULL IT OFF? >> Jesse: YOU REMEMBER WHEN YOU SOMETIMES SEE A CELEBRITY WITHOUT THEIR HAIR AND MAKEUP? AND THEY ARE NOT WEARING THE JEWELS, AND THEY DON’T HAVE A HIGH HEELS, YOU ARE LIKE, OH, MY GOD, THAT’S WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE IN REAL LIFE? THIS IS WHAT THE DEMOCRATS LOOK LIKE WITHOUT ALL OF THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA GLOSS. SO THEY LOST THE GLOSS. THEY LOST ALL OF THE GREAT STUDIO LIGHTING, THE MAKEUP, THE NETWORK TELEVISION. NO ONE EVEN WATCHES NETWORK TELEVISION ANYMORE. NO ONE WATCHES MSNBC AND CNN. THERE IS NO PODCAST SYNERGY, AND NOW THEY CAN’T CENSOR YOU ON TWITTER, SO THEY ARE LEFT ALL ALONE. SO THEY ARE DOING DIRECT TO CONSUMER. AND PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT THESE PEOPLE FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND THEY DON’T LIKE ‘EM. THEY DON’T LIKE THEIR PERSONALITIES. THEY DON’T KNOW HOW THEY LOOK. YOU CAN’T DO A PODCAST WITH TWO DUDES SITTING NEXT TO EACH OTHER ON THE SAME COUCH. I MEAN, THIS IS PRODUCTION 101. AND SO THEY ARE BEING TOLD BY 23-YEAR-OLD WHAT TO DO. YOU HAVE AN INDIAN GUY DANCING TO HIP-HOP. WE HAVE AN 80:00 O’CLOCK I PLAYING THE GUITAR ABOUT JEFFREY EPSTEIN. IT’S CORNY. THE REST OF THE COUNTRY AS I CAN’T BELIEVE I’M LOOKING AT, AND THEN YOU HAVE AOC. AND YOU HAVE CROCKETT. AND THEY ARE YOUNG AND THEIR TELEGENIC AND AT LEAST HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF ENERGY. AND THAT IS THE NEW GENERATION. AND THE REASON THEY LIKE THIS NEW GUY, AS A LENDER, ZOHRAN THE DESTROYER, WHATEVER HIS NAME IS, MADMAN MARXIST. >> Jessica: HE SIX , IT’S BECAUSE THEY SAY HE MAMDANI. WHAT DO THEY MEAN WHEN THEY SAY HE IS AUTHENTIC? IT MEANS HE SAYS HE IS A COMMUNIST. AND HE IS NOT TRYING TO HIDE BEING A COMMUNIST. EVERY OTHER DEMOCRAT WALKS AROUND CAPITOL HILL HIDING THE FACT THAT THEY ARE COMMUNIST. THIS GUY COMES OUT AND SAYS YEAH, I AM A COMMUNIST. AND THEY LOVE THAT. IT IS DANGEROUS, IT IS POLITICALLY CRAZY. SOME PEOPLE CALL IT BRAVE. THEY THINK THIS GUY IS THE COOLEST THING AROUND BECAUSE HE ACTUALLY ADMITS HE WANTS TO ABOLISH PRIVATE PROPERTY. SO IF THEY WANT TO GO WITH THAT, HAVE AT IT. >> Sandra: JESSICA, TO JESSE’S POINT, SOME OF THE VIDEOS THEY’RE TRYING TO PUT OUT, THEY ARE SORT OF CRINGE. >> Jessica: YEAH. YOU DON’T STRIKE GOLD EVERY TIME. BUT YOU TRY, TRY AGAIN. THERE IS A D.C. CREATIVE FIRM THAN MESS STRATEGIES THAT BASICALLY SAID IF YOU DON’T WANT TO GET ONLINE, WE DON’T WANT YOUR BUSINESS AND YOU SHOULD RETIRE, FRANKLY. YOU HAVE TO TRY. AND SOME OF THEM ARE GOOD AND SOME OF THEM ARE BAD AND THAT IS JUST THE WAY THAT IT IS. BUT IT FEELS AT THIS MOMENT LIKE THE G.O.P. IS GETTING REALLY, REALLY COCKY. NOT JESSE’S RED WAY OF COCKY FROM A FEW YEARS AGO THAT TURNED INTO A RIPPLE, A WHIMPER, WHATEVER IT WAS. BUT, YOU KNOW, JUST SLINGING ARROWS, WE’VE GOT IT ALL HANDLED, WE KNOW EXACT HOW TO DO THIS. WE GOT TRUMP. HE IS OUR MAGIC WEAPON, AND HE IS TEACHING EVERYONE HOW TO DO THIS RIGHT. WELL, ONE OF THE RECENT TRUMP WON, A MAJOR REASON, WAS THE MANOSPHERE, THAT JOE ROGAN AND ANDREW SCHULTZ LOVED HIM. ANDREW SCHULTZ THIS WEEK, I VOTED FOR NONE OF THIS. TRUMP IS DOING THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF EVERYTHING I VOTED FOR. JOE ROGAN, WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH I.C.E. GOING AROUND PICKING UP NICE PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIVED HERE FOR DECADES, WHO HAVE COMMITTED NO CRIMES? JOE ROGAN, WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN FILES? I THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE IMPORTANT. OUR APPROVAL RATING IS BAD. 19%. TERRIBLE. G.O.P. AT 33%. NOT FANTASTIC, BUT OBVIOUSLY BETTER. WE CAN IMPROVE. I WOULD NEVER DENY THAT. BUT IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WILL MATTER FOR THIS MID-TERMS, THE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL, 60% DISAPPROVAL. 64% OF AMERICANS SAY THE G.O.P. LOOKS OUT FOR THE INTERESTS OF THE RICH, NOT THE AVERAGE AMERICAN, THE RICH. TRUMP HAS A 62% DISAPPROVAL ON HANDLING HEALTH CARE, PROBABLY BECAUSE HE HAS NEVER EVEN PUT FORWARD ANY SORT OF SOLUTION. IT WILL LIKELY BE THE NUMBER ONE OR THE NUMBER TWO ISSUE GOING IN, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THEY’RE GOING TO TAKE HEALTH CARE AWAY FROM MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. FOCUS ON THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. MAKE A BETTER SOCIAL MEDIA VIDEO. BUT THE MANOSPHERE TURNING AGAINST HIM. >> Sandra: KELLYANNE, IT DOES SEEM LIKE DEMOCRATS OR TIME TO TAKE A PAGE OUT OF THE TRUMP PLAYBOOK, TRUMPIER INSULTS, CAN THEY PULL THIS OFF? >> Kellyanne: NO, THERE’S ONLY ONE DONALD TRUMP, AND THAT IS WHY HIS PRESIDENT AGAIN BECAUSE YOU GET WEAK MEN LIKE JOE BIDEN AND WEAK PEOPLE DEFENDING WEAK MEN LIKE HILLARY — WELL, HE HAS HILLARY CLINTON AND KAMALA HARRIS, BOTH LOST A TRUMP, THE TWO FEMALE CAMPAIGN MANOSPHERE. MANAGERS. PRETTY HIGH ON SOME OF THE STUFF HAPPENING WITH MIGRATION AND INFLATION, OBVIOUSLY WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH OUR CULTURE. LOOK, PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN’T TRY TO GO VIRAL. HE BECOMES VIRAL BASED ON HIS SPONTANEITY. McDONALD’S, THE GARBAGE TRUCK. HE GETS SHOT IN THE EAR AND HE STANDS UP AND SAYS FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT, PROBABLY THE MOST ICONIC, FAMOUS PHOTOGRAPH OF THIS CENTURY AND THIS MOMENT. THE DEMOCRATS SEEM, SANDRA, SO DEFEAT AND ELITE NOW, THEY ARE FILLED WITH PEOPLE FROM IVORY TOWERS AND NEWS NETWORKS AND SILICON VALLEY AND HOLLYWOOD AND WALL STREET. WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT? IT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF THAT IS WHO IS RUNNING YOUR PARTY, THEN WHEN YOU COME AND YOU DO STUPID, HOKEY THINGS, I ASK I THOUGHT THAT PEOPLE DIDN’T KNOW THE CAMERAS WERE ROLLING WHEN I SAW A BUNCH OF THOSE ADS AND MOMENTS. THE IDEA THAT THEY WERE DOING THAT FOR THE CAMERAS IS A WHOLE WAKE-UP CALL. TIM WALZ SAID KAMALA HARRIS PUT ME ON THE TICKET TO “CODE TALK TO WHITE MEN,” THEN WHITEMAN FAVOR DONALD TRUMP BY 20 POINTS. AND IF YOU ARE INSULTING MEN, IF YOU PUT A VICE PRESIDENT ON NOMINEE ON THEIR WHO ACTUALLY PUTS TAMPONS AND BOYS BATHROOMS AND THEN YOU TURN AROUND AND SAY WE ARE GOING SPEND $20 MILLION FOCUS GROUPING MEANT TO FIGURE OUT WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY WANT, YOU DON’T GET PEOPLE BY ENRAGING THEM, YOU GET THEM BY ENGAGING THEM. YOU DON’T GET VOTERS THE WAY THE DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO, WHICH IS USING POLLS TO MANIPULATE AND FORMULATE THEIR OPINIONS. YOU USE PULLS THE WAY TRUMP DOES, WHICH IS TO RESPECT AND REFLECT THEIR OPINIONS. AND ALSO JOY ON THE JOB. DONALD TRUMP MADE ALL OF THIS FUN AGAIN. PEOPLE STAND AND WAIT IN THE HEAT, IN THE POURING RAIN FOR DAYS JUST TO GET INTO HIS RALLIES TO SAY I WAS PART OF SOMETHING. AND HE SEES ME, AND I’VE FORGOTTEN NO MORE. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE BEAT HIM BY A TRYING TO BE LIKE HIM OR BEING SO OBSESSED WITH HIM. SANDRA, I DID HEAR ONE SUBSTANTIVE ARGUMENT OR POSITION IN ANY OF IT. IT IS ALL JUST PERFORMATIVE POLITICS AND PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF IT. >> Sandra: GREG, YOU EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY USE SOCIAL MEDIA. >> Greg: THAT IS SO TRUE. >> Sandra: DO YOU THINK DEMOCRATS CAN USE THIS TO THEIR ADVANTAGE, THIS NEW FREEWHEELING SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY? >> Greg: NO. I JUST WANT — WHEN TRUMP BRINGS UP POLLING, SHE NEVER DOES THE COMPARE TO WHAT. THAT IS WHAT YOU DO WITH NUMBERS, YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO COMPARE IT TO SOMETHING ELSE, BUT YOU DIDN’T. BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS ARE LESS POPULAR THAN CRABS ON A NUDE BEACH. THEY ARE AT 19% — >> Jessica: I SAID THEY WERE AT 19%. >> Greg: IT IS SO BAD THAT PEOPLE — IT’S NATURAL TO BE SOMEWHAT, YOU KNOW, DISAPPOINTED IN WHAT ANY POLITICIAN IS DOING, BUT THEY HATE YOU. AND THEN YOU BRING UP THE CRITICISM FROM BRO’S FEAR, THE AFTERSHOWS, JOE ROGAN, FOR THE LONGEST TIME, NEVER TRUMPERS AND DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN CALLING THE MAGA MOVEMENT A CULT, BUT NOW YOU ARE OBSESSING OVER THE MAGA SPLIT, OVER EPSTEIN. BUT I THOUGHT A CULT REMAINS IN OBEDIENCE TO TRUMP, SO WHAT IS GOING ON NOW? WHO IS RIGHT? YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IS THE TRUMP SUPPORTER IS NOT IN A CULT, HE JUST EMBRACES THE VISION OF TRUMP AND THEY EXPECT THAT VISION FROM HIM ALL THE TIME AND WHEN THEY FEEL THAT HE HASN’T BEEN UP TO STANDARDS, THEY ARE HONEST ENOUGH TO SAY HEY WAIT A SECOND, WE WANT MORE ON EPSTEIN. WE THINK YOU SHOULD BE DOING X INSTEAD OF Y. NOW ABOUT THIS NEW KIND OF LIKE PRO THEATER AND ALL OF THE CURSING. IT REMINDS ME OF A DIVORCED DAD GETTING AN EARRING AND HITTING ON HIS DAUGHTER’S FRIENDS. IF YOU WEREN’T DOING IT BEFORE, IT IS EVEN WEIRDER THAT YOU ARE DOING IT NOW. THE RULE OF THUMB IS IF YOU ARE TRYING TO BE AUTHENTIC, THEN YOU AREN’T AUTHENTIC AT ALL. AND BEING AUTHENTIC IS NOT SOMETHING YOU TRY. IT IS LIKE DECIDING YOU ARE GOING TO LEARN FRENCH, AND THEN THE NEXT WEEK YOU ARE WEARING A BERET AND YOU ARE ON A BICYCLE HOLDING A BAGUETTE. IT JUST MAKES YOU LOOK INSANE. THE DEMOCRATS WILL NEVER MOVE ON UNTIL THEY ADMIT TO THEMSELVES, PUT ASIDE THEIR EGO, AND ASK THEMSELVES, HOW DID THEY GET AMERICA SO WRONG? IT’S NOT ABOUT ALL OF THIS WINDOW DRESSING. IT’S LIKE WHAT DID WE DO THAT WAS SO WRONG? YOU DIDN’T UNDERSTAND WHAT AN AMERICAN IS AND WHAT AN AMERICAN REACTS TO. THE MORE YOU COMPEL, THE MORE THEY REBEL. YOU THOUGHT PROTEST WAS REBELLION. IT’S NOT WHEN YOU EMPLOY PROTESTERS TO COMPEL OTHERS. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PROTESTS WERE SO OBVIOUSLY INORGANIC, EXTREME, AND WELL-FINANCED. THAT WAS THE BIGGEST ERROR I THINK THE DEMOCRATS MADE WITH TRANCE, ESPECIALLY, BLM, CAMPUS UNREST, YOU WERE COMPELLING PEOPLE TO OBEY, AND WE HAD ENOUGH. YOU TALK ABOUT HAVING FUN. WHAT’S THE OPPOSITE OF HAVING FUN? TOTALITARIAN MORALISM. AND THAT IS WHAT THE DEMS ENDED UP BECOMING THANKS TO THEIR WO
