’The Five’: Kid asks Hakeem Jeffries why voters view Dems poorly...

[0:00] Democrats just can't quit their crippling Trump addiction. [0:04] Axios is reporting that a vengeful cohort of House Dems are pushing impeachment on day one. [0:10] That's if, if Jessica's right and they take back Congress. [0:15] But the left may want to do some housekeeping before they plan their revenge. [0:18] A little kid just kneecapped Hakeem with this question. [0:21] Why do voters do Democrats so poorly? [0:26] Did your dad give you that question? [0:28] It's a great question in that. [0:36] I'm going to have words with you after this, Manu. [0:40] There's a great frustration that applies to every organized institution in this country. [0:47] And Democrats are not immune from that. [0:51] Dems like AOC are also bringing back a TDS oldie that Trump's a raging sexist who only fires women. [0:58] Who do you think the next person Trump should fire should be? [1:00] I mean, is he out of women? Because that seems to be his pattern right now. [1:05] If you're a man in the Trump administration, it seems that they reward misconduct. [1:10] We know this president, he only fires women. So my guess is Tulsi Gabbard. [1:14] All right, Charlie, you know what I always say? Best way to not fire a woman? [1:19] Not fire her. [1:20] Is that, I guess that's technically, that is completely true. [1:25] No, and I think that, I think Democrats absolutely will take the bait. [1:29] It's amazing that they have not learned their lesson from the fake impeachments that backfired on them in the past. [1:36] All of the pursuit of Donald Trump in the courts, all of it has backfired. [1:43] But I do think, and it's an impossible year. [1:46] If Democrats can't retake the House in this election, there's something way worse wrong with them. [1:53] Like, it's, all the wins are going in their favor. [1:58] And I think that they won't be able to help themselves. [2:00] And the reason they won't be able to help themselves is because their agenda, whatever their agenda is, [2:05] and they're not very clear about it, is so deeply unpopular. [2:09] The idea of open borders is not something that their own voters support. [2:13] The idea that they're opposed to voter ID, that's something that even their own voters support. [2:18] The idea that they're still promoting this Green News scam that costs money for everybody, [2:26] that's not popular even among their voters, their regular voters. [2:30] But, and so they can't really, I think they maybe have wised up and realized they can't go after those things. [2:34] So they're going to go to the old saw of going after Donald Trump. [2:37] And do you think that's smart politically, Jessica, to lead off with impeachment if you take the House? [2:44] No, and I would say the vast majority of Democrats aren't talking about that. [2:49] They're hammering what's going on with the economy specifically. [2:53] And the Fox poll this week, it's the first time Democrats have led on the economy. [2:57] It was plus four for them. [2:58] That's a pretty big turnaround. [3:00] You know, Donald Trump is minus 30 plus on cost of living and has taken his best issue, [3:06] which was immigration, is about minus 10. [3:08] So that's what Democrats are talking about. [3:11] As for the favorability question, it was very cute. [3:13] And it was a nice, smiley moment for Leader Jeffries. [3:17] But Democrats have actually closed the favorability gap with the GOP. [3:21] And that's because we've gotten a little bit better, but also because the GOP has gotten that much worse. [3:27] And that should be concerning for them going into this election. [3:31] Obviously, the special elections, the off-year elections have been going in the Democrats' favor. [3:36] And that is important in terms of what we stand for. [3:41] There's this slogan going around that I'm a big fan of, strong floor, no ceiling. [3:47] And strong floor, no ceiling, what? [3:49] That's a good campaign slogan. [3:51] So it's all about making sure that no one lives below the poverty line, right? [3:55] That you have access to good health care, housing, education, that there is a safety net for you. [4:00] But no ceiling, that you can make a lot of money, that you can move from the lower class to the middle class, middle class to the upper class. [4:06] And that doesn't mean that the rich aren't going to pay their fair share. [4:09] They do. They already do. [4:11] Yeah, sure. [4:12] They do. [4:13] No, they absolutely do. [4:14] They pay actually more. [4:15] I get it. [4:16] No, I mean, I don't know. [4:18] I think the safety net's pretty good, Jessica, in this country. [4:22] People are ripping it off left and right. [4:24] Kennedy. [4:25] We have the richest poor people in the world. [4:27] That is an absolute fact. [4:28] But also, this zero-sum idea has paralyzed Democrats. [4:35] And the idea that you're going to demonize rich people and somehow make people's lives better and make things more affordable, it is disproven time and time again. [4:44] And unfortunately, we're going to see that manifest right here in New York City. [4:49] I think impeachment is stupid. [4:50] I think, you know, I don't care if you're a Democrat or Republican or if you're Angus King. [4:55] Just run on ideas and get government out of the way because the state of high taxation and taking more by force and giving people so little in return is what is forcing these approval numbers into the gutter for both parties. [5:13] I mean, having a 39 percent favorability for the GOP and a 36 percent for Democrats, like somehow that's something to throw a parade over. [5:21] That means that a majority of people are completely underserved by this massive bloat that we are seeing from both sides. [5:29] So, you know, the only silver lining in all of this is that Doge has gone federalist, meaning the states themselves are finding a way to combat fraud because Democrats in power right now, I know they don't have the majority, but they squashed Doge because it took a fire hose to their burning blatant corruption. [5:52] Doge said nothing. They didn't find anything and they've been on record. [5:55] So if Doge did nothing, why do you keep saying millions of people are dying all over the world because of the cuts? [6:01] Well, USAID cuts definitely had that effect. [6:03] Oh, OK, OK. [6:03] They said they were going to cut like a trillion dollars and cut like eight billion. [6:06] That's what I thought. [6:06] And all the little Doge babies have been on record saying, actually, we didn't find the kind of fraud that we thought we were going to do. [6:11] How dare you say that about big balls? [6:13] It was in Minnesota. [6:13] How dare you? [6:14] It was in Illinois. It was in California. It's right here in New York. [6:18] I mean, it's like that massive teat is rich if you just want to go up and suckle if you are part of the cronyist culture because those are the only ones who are getting rich. [6:30] Yeah, they burned cars over something, Jessica. Something was pissing you guys off. [6:33] Burn my bra, Jesse.
