‘The Five’: Trump TROLLS Schumer, Jeffries as government shuts down

IT’S A FINGER-POINTING PALOUSE AFTER THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN. NEARLY EVERY SENATE DEMOCRATS VOTED AGAINST A REPUBLICAN PLAN TO OPEN IT BACK UP AND NOW EVERYONE SAYS THE OTHER GUY IS TO BLAME. >> DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS HAVE OFFICIALLY SHUT DOWN THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. >> DEMOCRATS WANT OVER THIS CRISIS BUT REPUBLICAN’S TRY THE BULLY US. >> LISTENING TO THE FAR RADICAL IN HIS OWN PARTY. >> OFF PLAYING MAKE-BELIEVE IN LA-LA LAND. >> THEY PRIORITIZE TAXPAYER-FUNDED BENEFITS FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS OVER KEEPING THE GOVERNMENT OPEN FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS. >> THEY DON’T EVEN HAVE THE GUTS TO BE ON CAPITOL HILL AND DEBATE US FACE-TO-FACE. >> THEY HAVE TAKEN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HOSTAGE. >> WOMEN WERE IN CHARGE, WE WOULDN’T HAVE THIS. >> Greg: SEXIST! PRESIDENT TRUMP ALREADY SQUEEZING CHUCK SCHUMER STATE, THE WHITE HOUSE FREEZING DOLLARS IN NEW YORK STATE FUNDING. SHUTDOWNS COULD BE IRREVERSIBLE. >> WE CAN DO THINGS DURING THE SHUTDOWN THAT ARE IRREVERSIBLE. THAT ARE BAD FOR THEM AND IRREVERSIBLE BY THEM, LIKE CUTTING VAST NUMBERS OF PEOPLE OUT, CUTTING THINGS THAT THEY LIKE, CUTTING PROGRAMS THAT THEY LIKE. >> WHEN YOU SHUT IT DOWN YOU HAVE TO DO LAYOFFS. WHEN YOU ARE LAYING OFF A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE VERY AFFECTED, AND THE DEMOCRATS, THEY ARE GOING TO BE DEMOCRATS. >> Greg: AMID THE SHUTDOWN DRAMA, 47 HAS BEEN TROLLING THE HELL OUT OF THEM LEADERS, SLAPPING SOMBREROS ON HAKEEM’S HEAD, SERVING OF DIET COKES AND SHOWING OFF BIDEN’S AUTOPEN PORTRAIT. WATCH THIS. >> WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION? >> ACTUALLY, HE DID NOT TRY TO HAND THE TRUMP 2028 HAT. JUST RANDOMLY APPEARED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MEETING ON THE DESK. IT WAS THE STRANGEST THING EVER. AND I JUST LOOKED AT THE HAT, LOOKED AT J.D. VANCE, WHO WAS SEATED TO MY LEFT, AND SAID, DON’T YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THIS? AND HE SAID, NO COMMENT. >> Greg: POOR KIDS. IT’S NOT LIKE THEY WORKED TROLLING THE REPUBLICANS FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS BY CALLING US HITLER AND NAZIS, THEY CAN’T TAKE A SOMBRERO, LIGHTEN UP, CHAMP. THAT WAS MY MONOLOGUE FOR TODAY. THESE SHUTDOWNS HAPPEN WITH SUCH REGULARITY, IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS NOT ABOUT THE PARTICIPANTS, IT IS ABOUT THE SYSTEM ITSELF, DANA. >> Dana: IS LIKE THEY ARE TAKING MIRALAX. >> Greg: EXACTLY. AND THE GOVERNMENT SHUTS DOWN, THE CONSEQUENCES ONLY FELT BY THE CITIZENS AND NOT THE SHUTDOWNERS, SHOULDN’T THAT BE REVERSED? >> Dana: SO LET’S GO BACK JUST A LITTLE WAYS, TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE. OCTOBER 1995, FIRST GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, THAT WAS MY FIRST DAY ON THE JOB ON CAPITOL HILL, PRESS SECRETARY, DIDN’T KNOW IF I WAS ESSENTIAL OR NOT. IT WAS A BIG DEAL, FIRST ONE, AND IT LASTED A LONG TIME, THERE WERE HEADLINES EVERYWHERE. THIS IS NEWT GINGRICH, MARK PENN, A LOT PEOPLE SEE ON THIS PROGRAM, HE WAS ADVISING BILL CLINTON AT THE TIME AND SAID LET THE REPUBLICANS DO, WE WILL WIN THIS. AND THEY FELT LIKE THEY DID, OF COURSE, GOING TO THE NEXT MIDTERM. SO THEN YOU HAVE A SITUATION WHERE IT HAPPENS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I HAVE A FRIEND IN FLORIDA WHO IS VERY INVOLVED IN POLITICS, AND ABOUT LAST NIGHT, ASKED EVERYBODY WHAT THEY THOUGHT ABOUT THE SHUTDOWN, NOBODY KNEW IT WAS HAPPENING. WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS OVER TIME THE SHUTDOWNS HAVE BECOME SO ANODYNE THAT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO MR. SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK. DID YOU LIKE THAT WORD? >> Paul: HAVE TO LOOK THAT UP. >> Greg: IT’S A GREAT WORD. >> Dana: YOU ARE NOT PERSONALLY AFFECTED BY IT. >> Greg: THE WHITE HOUSE BECOMES LIKE HOME DEPOT WHERE YOU CAN JUST WALK AROUND — NOT THE WHITE HOUSE, GOVERNMENT ITSELF BECOMES LIKE HOME DEPOT. THERE IS NOBODY THERE TO HELP YOU. >> Dana: AND IF YOU ARE A CONSERVATIVE YOU ARE THINKING, GREAT, GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN, THAT MEANS THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING. THE OTHER THING IS WHEN DEMOCRATS WANT TO PLAY CHICKEN WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP, WHO DO THEY THINK IS GOING TO WIN? HE DOESN’T MIND DOING IRREVERSIBLE CUTS. PART OF THIS IS ACTUALLY — IT IS BAD FOR BOTH SIDES, THING IS BAD FOR THE COUNTRY. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THIS IN A REASONABLE WAY. BUT THERE IS A WOMAN — MY LAST POINT IS THAT NEERA TANDEN, SHE WORK TO THE OBAMA AND BIDEN WHITE HOUSE AND ALSO HILLARY CLINTON, SHE WAS ATTACKING MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA FOR POINTING OUT DEMOCRATS SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN BUT THEY LITERALLY DID. 13 VOTES THEY TOOK AND THEY DECIDED AT THE LAST MINUTE THEY DIDN’T. NOW THE DEMOCRATS OF HAVE TO DECIDE HOW MUCH DO THEY CARE ABOUT CHUCK SCHUMER’S POLITICAL FUTURE? THREE DEMOCRATS HAVE ALREADY CROSSED OVER. AND IF THE POLITICAL PAIN FOR THEM GETS MUCH HIGHER, THEN THEY COULD HAVE MORE, BUT I DO THINK THIS COULD GO ON A WHILE. WE COULD BE TALKING ABOUT THIS A WHILE. >> Greg: EXCELLENT, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THIS IS MY FAVORITE TOPIC. JESSE, I LOVE THE SERIOUSNESS WITH WHICH CNN PLACED THE TROLLING. IT’S ALMOST AS THOUGH THEY FORGET — HAVE FORGOTTEN FOR DECADES THEY HAVE MOCKED REPUBLICANS, RIDICULED THEM, AND NOW THAT SHE WAS ON THE OTHER FOOT AND THEY ARE LIKE THIS ISN’T FUNNY AT ALL. STOP. >> Jesse: CNN IS ASKING REPUBLICANS TO CONDEMN A HAT. IT’S JUST A HAT AND MEXICANS WHERE TO KEEP THE SUN OUT OF THEIR EYES. >> Greg: WHY DO THEY HATE MEXICAN CULTURE? >> Jesse: I DON’T SEE WHAT IS RACIST ABOUT PUTTING A SOMBRERO ON ANYBODY. >> Greg: MEXICANS LOVE SOMBREROS. >> Jesse: WE WEAR COWBOY HATS, THEY WERE SOMBREROS. >> Greg: WHY DOES CNN HATE MEXICANS? THAT IS A FAIR QUESTION. >> Jesse: THE QUESTION IS WHY IS TRUMP PUTTING THE SOMBRERO ON HAKEEM’S HEAD? HAKEEM IS SHUTTING THE GOVERNMENT DOWN TO GIVE MEXICANS HEALTH CARE. THEY CALL US NAZI, WE CAN’T PUT A SOME BARREL ON YOU? I MEAN, THEY LOOK REALLY, REALLY UPTIGHT. AND TRUMP LOOKS LOOSE. HE LOOKS CONFIDENT. AND HE HAS ALL THE LEVERAGE BECAUSE HE DOESN’T NEED ANYTHING. HE GOT EVERYTHING IN THE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL. THE DEMOCRATS NEED STUFF. THEY WANT TO GIVE STUFF AWAY. AND THEY DECIDED TO FIGHT THIS OUT NOW AND IT IS REALLY NOT THE RIGHT TIME. TRUMP IS GOING TO JUST START D.O.G.E.KING EVERYTHING. THEIR WINDMILLS. THEIR STUPID, BLOATED PROGRAMS FOR TWO SPIRITED PEOPLE. IT IS ALL COMING DOWN. YOU THINK DEMOCRATS ARE JUST GOING TO SIT AROUND AND RUN OUT THE CLOCK? YOU THINK TRUMP IS GOING TO CAVE AND SAY OKAY, LET’S GIVE BILLIONS TO ILLEGAL ALIENS, SO THEY CAN GET SEX CHANGES? YOU KNOW ILLEGAL ALIENS CAN ACTUALLY GET GOVERNMENT-FUNDED SEX CHANGES IN CALIFORNIA? THAT’S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. BIDEN PAROLED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. HE FLEW VENEZUELANS INTO THE COUNTRY AND GAVE THEM ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE. HE SAID IF YOU ARE IN ASYLUM-SEEKERS, WE ARE GOING TO GIVE YOU HEALTH CARE, AND THEN IN STATES LIKE NEW YORK AND CALIFORNIA, YOU GET IT, AND THE GOVERNMENT FUNDS IT, AND TRUMP IS SAYING NO MAS. THAT’S ALL THIS IS. AND SCHUMER LOOKS REALLY DUMB BECAUSE THE ONLY REASON HE IS DOING THIS IS TO SAY FACE BECAUSE HIS FAR LEFT BASE ONCE ACTION, SO HE’S GOING TO GIVE THEM A LITTLE ACTION AND TN HE’S GOING TO CAVE AND THEN WHAT? THAN WHAT? AOC HAS ALREADY COME OUT AND SAID HEY, IF YOU GUYS WANT TO NEGOTIATE THIS, I’M YOUR GIRL. HOW DO YOU THINK THAT LOOKS TO SCHUMER? HE’S ALREADY LOSING POWER. HAKEEM IS GETTING CLOWNED. AND THE STOCK MARKET IS UP. THEY DON’T EVEN CARE. >> Greg: WELL, JESSICA, JESSE MAKES SOME EXCELLENT POINTS IN THERE, BUT LET ME BOIL IT DOWN TO THIS. I THINK JESSE HIT ON IT. ISN’T THIS ENTIRE BUDGET CONFLICT A DIRECT RESULT OF THE BORDER FIASCO? AND THAT YOU COMBINED OPEN BORDERS WITH FREE STUFF, AND YOU HAVE THIS MASSIVE OPPORTUNITY COST ON STATE AND NATIONAL BUDGETS, AND THAT IS — WHAT WE ARE SEEING RIGHT NOW IS A DIRECT CONSEQUENCE OF THE ABDICATION OF YOUR BORDER RESPONSIBILITY. WHAT SAY YOU, MS. TARLOV? >> Jessica: I SAY NAY, NO, NO MAS. THE BORDER CRISIS, WHICH WAS A REAL CRISIS, DID NOT MAKE THE G.O.P. GO FOR ALL OF THE PROVISIONS IN THE RECONCILIATION BILL AND GET MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF TAX CUTS TO BILLIONAIRES AND TAKE AWAY MEDICAID COVERAGE FROM THE POOREST AMERICANS. THEY DID THAT THEMSELVES, IRRESPECTIVE — >> Greg: DID THEY DO THAT? >> Jessica: THEY DID DO THAT. >> Greg: WHO? >> Jessica: TO CITE IT AGAIN, JUST LISTEN TO JOSH HAWLEY TALK ABOUT IT IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME. JESSE SAID THEY ARE DOING THIS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO GIVE ILLEGALS HEALTH CARE. THAT IS NOT TRUE. IT IS PROHIBITED. TWO POINTS THAT ARE IMPORTANT. >> Greg: WHERE? NEW YORK, CALIFORNIA? >> Jessica: STATES ARE ALLOWED TO DO WHATEVER THEY — >> Greg: BUT WHERE THEY GET THE MONEY? >> Jesse: THEY GET THE MONEY FROM THE FEDS, JESSICA. >> Greg: THIS IS VISIBLE CHAIRS. >> Jessica: THE LET’S TALK ABOUT THE PROVISION THAT THEY ARE TRAINED TO STRIKE DOWN FROM THE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL, THIS SECTION 71109. >> Greg: NOT THAT ONE. >> Jessica: THAT ONE IN PARTICULAR. WHICH ELIMINATED MEDICAID COVERAGE, THEY ARE TURNED TO GET THIS REINSTATED, FOR THE GROUPS THAT ARE HERE LAWFULLY COME AND CLEAN REFUGEES, SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, AND TRAFFICKING VICTIMS. THAT IS WHAT THE G.O.P., YOU ARE SEEING THEY ARE AROUND — DON’T. >> Jesse: SHOW UP AT THE BORDER AND SAY YOU WERE TRAFFIC, YOU GOT FREE HEALTH CARE. >> Jessica: YOU DON’T — >> Jesse: YES — >> Jessica: THAT IS WHAT THEY’RE TRYING TO REVERSE. >> Jesse: EXACTLY. >> Jessica: THE POINT IS IF YOU WANT TO DO A DEAL, IF YOU ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT PEOPLE — >> Greg: WE DON’T. WE HATE PEOPLE, JESSICA, WE ARE REPUBLICANS. >> Jessica: THE ACA TAX CREDITS ARE THE CRUX OF ALL OF THIS. AND 21 MILLION OF THE 24 PEOPLE THAT BENEFIT FROM THOSE SUBSIDIES ARE IN TRUMP STATES, SO HE SHOULD WANT TO KEEP THEM HAPPY. >> Jesse: THEY WILL DO THAT AROUND CHRISTMAS. >> Jessica: NO, THEY WON’T. WE HAVE BEEN ASKING THEM TO DO IT FOR MONTHS, AND THEY DON’T. THEY ARE LYING AGAIN, SAYING OH, JUST OPEN OF THE GOVERNMENT AND WE WILL LET THAT GO AHEAD. 114% IS HOW MUCH THOSE PREMIUMS ARE GOING TO GO UP. >> Jesse: YOU GUYS SET THE DATE — YOU GUYS JUICED UP THE PREMIUMS FOR COVID-LEVEL SPENDING. TO SAY THEY WANT TO BRING IT BACK ONTO PRE-COVID, JESSICA. >> Jessica: YES — >> Jesse: HOW DO I KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS? I’M GOING TO GIVE YOU SOME INFORMATION. >> Jessica: YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT SECTION — I’M NOT READING — >> Paul: WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE TEMPORARY. JUST LIKE TRUMP IS SAYING WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO THINGS THAT ARE IRREVERSIBLE, BY THE WAY COME IF THEY ARE GOING TO USE THIS TO IDENTIFY SUPERFLUOUS EMPLOYEES AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, DO IT WITH A 60 DAY NOTIFICATION THAT IS REQUIRED TO CIVIL SERVICE LAW AND THAT WAY IT IS DONE CORRECTLY AND WON’T BE CHALLENGED IN THE COURTS BUT LET’S GO BACK TO THE OPPORTUNITY. THEY USED COVID TO THROW ALL OF THESE SUBSIDIES IN, AND LIKE ANY ENTITLEMENT, WHEN YOU GO TO TAKE IT AWAY, PEOPLE HAVE STROKES. >> Greg: RIGHT. >> Paul: THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TEMPORARY. THEY JUST ARE ADHERING TO WHAT THE ORIGINAL DEAL IS. FIRST OF ALL, BIRTH TOURISM, THEY COME TO HAVE BABIES, IT’S A REAL THING. CHINA, ENTIRE INDUSTRIES DEVOTED TO THAT, IT HAPPENS, JESSICA. I’VE BEEN HERE IN NEW YORK CITY. YOU’VE GOT TO RUSH THEM TO THE HOSPITAL. I’M NOT GOING TO SAY NO TO A WOMAN IN LABOR. SHE IS HERE ILLEGALLY AND FROM WHEREVER, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO SAY HAVE A BABY ON THE STREET, COURSE THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THE PERSON. WE ABSORB THOSE COSTS. THOSE COSTS DO COME FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ULTIMATELY. LASTLY, HE WANT TO SEE WHERE THIS STUFF LEAD, JUST TO MAKE A MACRO POINT, I’VE GOT TO GO BACK. YOU CAN’T HAVE OPEN BORDERS AND A FULL SAFETY NET. YOU JUST CAN’T HAVE IT. IT IS JUST A TRUISM OF LIFE. IF YOU WANT TO SEE WHERE IT GOES, I’M GOING TO SAY IT AGAIN AND GET — THE NUT JOB ARCHIPELAGO OF OUR CITIES, RIGHT, JOHNSON HIMSELF IN CHICAGO HAS SAID WE HAVE REACHED A POINT OF NO RETURN. WELL, THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. YOU ARE THE ONE THAT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT DEMOCRATS WILL ALL OF THESE DECADES. YOU ARE THE ONES WHO ENACTED THIS, WHO HAVE TO UNDO IT, AND THEY WON’T. JUST TO EXPAND THE CANVAS A LITTLE BIT, WHERE THIS LEADS IS EUROPE. LOOK AT EUROPE RIGHT NOW. IT IS FAILING, ALL RIGHT? “WALL STREET JOURNAL” HAD A BIG ARTICLE ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I RECOMMEND YOU GO READ THIS BECAUSE I’M SURPRISED IT DIDN’T MAKE A BIGGER SPLASH WHEN IT CAME OUT. DANA, YOU READ IT. EUROPE IS FALLING APART. IT’S A FAKE EUROPE. THEY ARE LOSING ALL OF THEIR GDP. THEY HAVE NO BORDERS. ALL OF THE PSYCHOLOGY — ALL OF THE PATHOLOGIES OF THE FAR LEFT HAVE TAKEN FULL HOLD IN EUROPE. IF YOU CHALLENGE THEM IN ANY WAY, YOU ARE RACIST, SEXIST, HOMOPHOBIC BIGOT, AND AS A RESULT, THEY HAVE ABOUT AS MUCH JUICE THESE DAYS AS WHAT, AN ISLAND OFF OF FLORIDA. THAT IS WHERE THIS IS GOING. IF YOU CAN’T SEE THAT BEING $37 TRILLION IN DEBT IS LEADING US WHERE EUROPE’S IRRELEVANC
