‘The Five’: This is backfiring…

>> WE NEED FIVE DEMOCRAT SENATORS TO PULL THEIR HEADS OUT OF [BLEEP] AND GO WORK FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. >> Greg: REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS TIME TO SMACK SOME SENSE INTO DEMOCRATIC LEADERS FOR KEEPING THE GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN. NOW ON DAY 29. SOME BIG DEADLINES LOOM. THE TROOPS ARE ON THE VERGE OF MISSING A PAYCHECK AND FUNDING FOR SNACK FOOD STAMPS IS SET TO RUN OUT THIS WEEK AND DEMOCRATS REFUSING TO BUDGE BECAUSE IT IS EASIER TO BLAME THE ORANGE MAN. >> ON SATURDAY, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AMERICAN HISTORY, A VICIOUS, HEARTLESS PRESIDENT IS CUTTING OFF FOOD STAMPS. THIS PRESIDENT IS A [BLEEP] LIAR. HE SAYS THERE IS NO MONEY TO PROVIDE FOOD STAMPS BECAUSE OF THE SHUTDOWN. THAT IS [BLEEP]. >> DONALD TRUMP IS TRYING TO WEAPONIZE HUNGER TO PRESSURE PEOPLE ON CAPITOL HILL. >> Greg: THE DEMS ARE BANKING ON REPUBLICANS GETTING THE BLAME IF FOOD BANKS START OVERFLOWING BUT CNN STATED GREW SAYS NOT SO FAST. >> REPUBLICAN CONGRESS THAT APPROVAL RATING VERSUS PRESHUTDOWN IS RALLYING THE BASE, FOR SURE, THE NET APPROVAL RATING UP 12 POINTS VERSUS PRESHUTDOWN BUT IT IS NOT JUST THE BASE, IT’S ALSO THE MIDDLE OF THE ELECTORATE. LOOK AT THIS INDEPENDENTS IS UP EIGHT POINTS, AS WELL, SO WE’VE GOT A SITUATION HERE WHERE REPUBLICANS WITH THE SHUTDOWN ARE ACTUALLY RALLYING THEIR BASE BUT IT IS ALSO SOMETHING THAT IS NOT HURTING THEM WITH THE FOLKS IN THE MIDDLE, IF ANYTHING IT IS HELPING THEM WITH FOLKS IN THE MIDDLE. >> Greg: YOU KNOW, DANA, I THINK DEMS COULD HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH SHUTDOWN IS REPUBLICANS FAULT BEFORE MUSK BOUGHT X, BUT THE POPULATION IS TOO SAVVY SO IF YOU SAY THEY CREATE THE HOUSE AND SENATE, JESSICA, A 10-YEAR-OLD CAN EASILY REFUTE THAT BY SAYING NO, YOU NEED 60, AND THAT IS ON THE DEMOCRATS. >> Dana: AND THE DEMOCRATS, I THINK THE REPUBLICANS HAVE A VERY SIMPLE MESSAGE. THE DEMOCRATS SHUTDOWN THE DEMOCRAT. THE DEMOCRATS COULD REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT. THAT’S THE BOTTOM LINE. I THINK IT WAS A LITTLE JARRING THIS MORNING TO REALIZE THAT ONE IN EIGHT AMERICANS ARE STILL NEEDING THESE SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT. NOW THAT IS SOMETHING I THINK POST-SHUTDOWN MAYBE WE SHOULD ALL TALK ABOUT. >> Greg: YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO WHO IS GETTING THEM, WHAT PROPORTION OF THE PARTY THEY BELONG TO — >> Dana: BUT ALSO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE DESPERATE, THAT DO NEED IT — >> Greg: VERSUS THOSE WHO DON’T. >> Dana: GOT AWAY WITH MORE ECONOMIC GROWTH, WHERE IS THAT PLAN? I DO THINK THE POLLING SHOWS THAT IT IS HURTING DEMOCRATS. IT’S ACTUALLY HURTING SCHUMER, AND HIS NUMBERS WERE LOW TO BEGIN WITH. TRUMP IS A WANNABE DICTATOR, HE IS A FASCIST, AND THEY SAY THAT HE NEEDS TO SHARE. NO KINGS. BUT YET, NOW THEY ARE SAYING HE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT COULD REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT. THEY COULD REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT AND DO IT TOMORROW. SENATOR THUNE, THAT WAS THE MOST ANIMATED I HAVE EVER SEEN THAT VERY CALM MIDWESTERN GUY. HE IS MAD. WHAT THEY TRIED TO DO 13 TIMES. THERE WAS A SENATOR ON TODAY THAT SAID DON’T LET THE DEMOCRATS VOTE PIECEMEAL, AND I THINK THAT’S THE RIGHT TACT. >> Greg: EMILY COME IT IS DAY 29. IT’S GETTING VERY BAD. JERRY NADLER IS NOW BUYING GENERIC DIAPERS. BUT DO YOU THINK, IT FEELS LIKE THE KEY TO THE DEMOCRATS’ SUCCESS IS OTHER PEOPLE’S SUFFERING. THEY ARE BASICALLY TAKING THEIR OWN CONSTITUENCY AND UPHOLDING THEM IN THIS KIND OF THREAT — THIS THREAT, I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU CALL IT. HOSTAGE, THANK YOU. >> Emily: YEAH, I THINK IT’S AN ABOMINATION BECAUSE THEY ARE DOING THAT FROM THE SAFETY AND COMFORT OF THEIR OWN OFFICES, WHILE THEY ARE ENJOYING THEIR PAYCHECKS. THEY ARE ENJOYING, AS WELL, FOR EXAMPLE, THE PROTECTION BY CERTAIN OFFICERS AND SECRET SERVICE, LET’S SAY, THEY ARE NOT GETTING THEIR PAYCHECKS. I SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH MY FRIENDS AND MY FAMILY TALKING ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I SEE, FOR EXAMPLE, A FRIEND OF MINE, SECRET SERVICE, WHO HAS A NEW BABY AT HOME, AND THAT IS A PRIMARY INCOME FAMILY COMING FROM HIS PAYCHECK SO WHAT IS HAPPENING COME IN THEIR DIPPING INTO THEIR SAVINGS. THEIR SAVINGS ISN’T HIGH-YIELD THEY ARE LOSING THAT INTEREST THEY HAVE ACCRUED. THEY WILL BE PAID BUT IT’S NOT THE SAME THING AND DOESN’T ACCOUNT FOR THE MOMENTUM AND ANOTHER MARRIED COUPLE FRIENDS OF MINE, ONE IS A CONTRACTOR FOR THE GOVERNMENT, WHICH, BY THE WAY, REPRESENTS A MOST 4 MILLION AMERICANS, AND THE OTHER WAS JUST ABOUT, HAD ACCEPTED A CONTRACT WITH THE GOVERNMENT. WELL, THAT FIRST ONE HAS NOW HAD TO TOTALLY DIP INTO HER PAID TIME OFF TO GET PAID BECAUSE IN THE CONTRACTOR SITUATION IT IS NOT A DEFINITE THAT YOU GET YOUR PAYCHECK AGAIN, AND THE OTHER ONE, GUESS WHAT SHE DID? SHE RESCINDED HER CONTRACT WITH THE GOVERNMENT, COMPLETELY WITHDRAWING, SAYING I CAN’T BE A NURSE FOR THE GOVERNMENT ANYMORE BECAUSE IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, WE CAN’T FEED OUR FAMILY BECAUSE BOTH PAYCHECKS ARE DEPENDENT ON THIS, AND THAT IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. I COME FROM A FAMILY WHERE THINK FULLY ONE OF US GETS PAID ELSEWHERE SO THAT OUR MONEY TOGETHER COMBINED CAN ACCOUNT FOR THE OTHER LOSS OF A PAYCHECK. SO THE REALITIES OF THIS GOES SO MUCH FURTHER THEN EVERYONE WHO IS’S FIXATED ON TRUMP. IT MAKES ME SICK THAT SCHUMER AND HAKEEM JEFFRIES ARE FIXATED ON TRUMP WHEN THEY SHOULD BE FIXATED ON AMERICANS. THE FEDERAL AND ADMINISTRATION, THOSE EMPLOYEES THAT ARE GOING TO WORK DAY IN AND DAY OUT AND STILL NOT GETTING A PAYCHECK AND SUFFERING BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST CARRYING ABOUT THEIR DOPAMINE CLICKS. >> Greg: JOEY, I THINK WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT POLLING, I FEEL LIKE PART OF THAT IS DUE TO AFTER THE BIDEN COVER-UP, NO ONE FEELS COMPELLED TO TAKE THE WORD OF DEMOCRATS OR THE MEDIA. THEY HAVE LOST CREDIBILITY. SO IF THEY ARE BLAMING THE REPUBLICANS, PEOPLE ARE GOING LIKE, WELL, THEN IT CAN’T BE THE REPUBLICANS’ FAULT. >> Joey: THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IT’S HARD FOR ME TO PUT MYSELF IN REGULAR FOLKS SHOES BECAUSE I WORKED ON THE HILL AND I NERD OUT ON THE PROCESS, THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS, AND YOU ARE TALKING TO FOLKS — >> Greg: I CAN’T EVEN MAKE A JOKE? >> Joey: NO, I’M SORRY. I WAS JUST EXCITED TO TALK ABOUT IT. YOU KNOW, I TALKED THE WAY I DO AND I MAKE JOKES AND I HAVE TO REMIND PEOPLE ACTUALLY I’M KIND OF SMART. I’VE WANT TO START THAT WAY. WHEN IT COMES TO THIS GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, AMERICANS ARE SITTING THERE GOING WAIT, HOLD ON, TWO THINGS ARE TRUE, RIGHT? YOU CAN FUND THE GOVERNMENT THE SAME WAY IT WAS FUNDED FOR SEVEN WEEKS AND THEN THE PRESIDENT SAID HE WOULD NEGOTIATE YOU ON THE HEALTH CARE STUFF BEFORE THAT TIME LIMIT COMES UP. WHY IS THAT A BAD DEAL? WHY DOESN’T THAT WORK FOR YOU? AND WHY DOESN’T IT WORK FOR THEM? BECAUSE THEY DON’T THINK THEY WILL WIN THAT NEGOTIATION EITHER, AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM. WHEN CHUCK SCHUMER STANDS UP THERE AND USES CUSS WORDS, WHAT HE IS REALLY SAYING IS EVERY OPPORTUNITY I HAVE HAD TO ADVOCATE FOR MY CONSTITUENTS THAT WANT THE POLICIES I ADVOCATE FOR, HAVE FAILED AT, THIS ENTIRE TIME, AND THIS IS MY LAST OPPORTUNITY TO GET ANYTHING I WOULD LIKE TO GET DONE BECAUSE I’M NOT VERY GOOD AT MY JOB ANYMORE, AND THIS IS ALL I HAVE, AND IN THE MEANTIME, PEOPLE WHO VOTE FOR HIM ARE HURTING, AND I DON’T SEE WHY THEY WOULD SWING TOWARDS SUPPORTING WHAT HE IS DOING ON THE S.N.A.P. THING, JUST REAL QUICK, ALMOST 700 MILLION OF $8 BILLION A MONTH COMES TO NEW YORK FOR S.N.A.P. THAT’S ALMOST 10% OF THE COUNTRY’S S.N.A.P. COMES TO NEW YORK, AND THAT IS BEFORE MAMDANI BECOMES MAYOR OF THIS PLACE. I THINK YOU SAID IT A FEW SECONDS AGO, WHY ARE PEOPLE ON S.N.A.P. AND CONTINUE TO NEED TO BE ON S.N.A.P., MAYBE HE NEEDS THINGS LIKE WORK REQUIREMENTS — WORK REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE SO DIFFICULT THAT IF YOU’RE UNDER THE AGE OF 64 OR HAVE A CHILD OVER THE AGE OF 14, 80 HOURS A WEEK, YOU HAVE TO LOOK FOR A JOB, TRAIN FOR A JOB, OR VOLUNTEER, OH, MY GOD, I DON’T HOW ANYBODY COULD DO THAT. >> Greg: AND HOW MANY OF THAT GOES TO ILLEGALS? TO WE KNOW? I DON’T KNOW. I’M SURE IT’S UP THERE. >> Joey: ILLEGAL YOU COULD HAVE A LEGAL BABY, RIGHT. >> Greg: YEAH. SO, JESSICA. >> Jessica: OR AN AMERICAN CITIZEN. >> Greg: CAN YOU TELL ME HOW THIS IS THE REPUBLICANS’ FAULT? I’M ASKING FOR A FRIEND. >> Jessica: I’M GLAD THAT YOU SAW MY TWEET. 3 MILLION PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET. I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS SAYING. THE POINT IS THAT WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY. I HEARD THAT ONCE IN A GREAT “SPIDER-MAN” MOVIE. AND REPUBLICANS ARE IN CHARGE. THEY ARE NOT 60 VOTES IN CHARGE, BUT THEY’VE GOT A MAJORITY OF THE WAY THERE. AND WHEN YOU ARE IN CHARGE AND YOU DON’T HAVE ALL THE VOTE THAT YOU NEED, IT IS INCUMBENT UPON YOU TO MAKE A DEAL WITH THE PEOPLE WHOSE VOTES YOU NEED, AND BASED ON PRIOR VOTING FOR CRs, YOU KNOW THERE ARE MODERATE DEMOCRATS WHO WOULD CERTAINLY BE WILLING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOU, IF YOU WOULD DO THAT PROPERLY TIMED, NOT OPEN UP THE GOVERNMENT AND THEN MAKE THE SAME PROMISES THAT THEY HAD FOR MONTHS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL WAS SIGNED. THEY’VE BEEN SAYING YEAH, WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING ON ACA PREMIUMS, AND THEY KEEP KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD. WE KNOW THAT HARRY ENTEN IS ABOUT TO MAYBE WHILE WE’RE SPEAKING RIGHT NOW, THERE WILL E REVERSE STORY OUT ABOUT WHAT’S GOING ON, SO I WILL DO THE WORK FOR HIM. HARRY ENTEN PUT UP THE NAVIGATOR SURVEY, WHICH SHOWS THAT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IS BLAMING THE REPUBLICANS BY 14 POINTS, AND IT WAS JUST TEN POINTS LAST WEEK. THE STORY ABOUT DEMOCRATS CUTTING OFF S.N.A.P. BENEFITS AND THAT WE ARE THE HEARTLESS ONES AND MIKE JOHNSON FEELS TERRIBLE IS HOW YOU SAY B.S. MIKE JOHNSON, IN HIS BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL, $186 BILLION GONE FROM THE S.N.A.P. PROGRAM, AND IN THE 2018 SHUTDOWN, DONALD TRUMP MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE GOT THEIR S.N.A.P. BENEFITS BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT IT’S IMPORTANT AND THAT IS WHY JOSH HAWLEY WANTS TO HAVE A STAND-ALONE BILL ABOUT S.N.A.P. JOSH HAWLEY, ALSO ON THE STAND-ALONE BILL TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE GET THEIR MEDICAID COVERAGE BACK, BECAUSE THE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL TAKES IT AWAY. SO, GREGORY, THAT IS HOW I HAVE SHOWN YOU THAT MY TWEET WASN’T DUMB. THAT I AM NOT DUMB. AND THAT THIS IS THE REPUBLICANS’ FAULT. IF YOU ARE IN CHARGE, YOU HAVE TO NEGOTIATE, AND JUST SAYING OVER AND OVER, WE NEED TO OPEN THE GOVERNMENT — >> Greg: TRANSLATION, WE HAVE TO NEGOTIATE, MEANING WE HAVE TO GIVEN TO YOU. >> Jessica: YOU HAVE TO GIVE SOMETHING. THAT IS HOW — AND WHAT — >> Greg: JUST ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN IS A COOPERATION. YOU GUYS HAVE TO ACTUALLY, SOMEHOW, STOP LYING TO US ABOUT THESE BENEFITS. >> Jessica: NOTHING THAT I HAVE SAID IS A LIE. NOTHING AT ALL. IF YOU GET 90% OF THE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL AND YOU HAVE TO PROTECT AMERICANS HEALTH CARE, WHICH, BY THE WAY, THEY WILL REWARD YOU AT THE POLLS BECAUSE GUESS WHAT, PEOPLE LIKE TO HAVE HEALTH CARE COVERAGE AND TO WANT TO SEE THEIR PREMIUMS GO UP 114%. YOU WILL BE THANKING ME. YOU WILL NOT BE MOCKING ME. YOU WILL BE BOWING DOWN AT MY ALTAR THAT I SAVED YOUR PARTY. >> Greg: YES, YES. >> Dana: WE KNOW HOW THIS ENDS. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED I SAID WE ALL KNOW HOW THIS WILL END. IT WILL ENDED WITH THE DEMOCRATS — THE PAIN IS OPTIONAL. THEY CONTINUE THE SUFFERING. >> Greg: ELECTORAL YOU SAY THAT. HEY, I AM DANA. THE PAIN
