i said james carville is right. let gretchen whitmer go beat somebody if kamala harris is that good, let her beat somebody to make her somebody, not just an appointment. she was nominated on a telephone conference call. >> that said, you were both optimistic. tell me, is there one thing, in hindsight, that kamala harris could have done differently that would have changed the outcome in your view, both of you? >> i will give you a small one. they totally blew michigan. the national problems that hurt them everywhere from there. trump spent $30 million in the state says and screw these electric cars, she's going to the auto industry. nobody told him that it was 50,000 new jobs. 2 1, michigan people thought electric cars were bad for the auto industry, as that is china wiping out the whole auto industry in 10 years. they gave michigan away. the on the ground campaign, i don't know who these clowns were. a lot of their messaging still didn't do meat and potatoes economics. you don't to outreach against trump because hal

so james carville versus steven a how was it going so far?michael sphinx when they fought each other about 91 seconds and pretty much over. stephen eight is mike tyson in this scenario. james carville predicted that hillary clinton would win in 2016 in a landslide. so that harris would win the last election. so his advice. i'm not sure it has been relevant since 1992 when he ran to bill clinton's campaign. >> jesse: what about mayor pete versus "the view". i didn't see that coming. >> we're pete has his eye on 2028. he realizes dei is where politicians go to die so now he is pivoting towards the center because he is basically like the chatgpt candidate. you can program him to say whatever you want as long as it is pulling well so that is what pete is thinking about at this point i have to go to the center if i pete j.d. vance or whatever the republican nominee will be. could be donald trump. >> jesse: how would you advise things democrats? they still don't understand why they lost. you heard the lady from maine, the governor say she will sue

i'm okay with james carville staying there. triangulation i believe not to. >> james carville knows his party has gone that ... crazy and i have to say that the democrats they are in denial they are walking around in a state of shock. they continued to be captive to the radical left-wing in their party. i tell you, sean, i have enjoyed, think about it, we are a month into it. i will say to my democrat colleagues and just a deadpan voice well, three years 11 months to go. and they literallyc waist that they found that they are cutting and they are just getting started. look, one of the once you put on the screen a moment to go to billion dollars to a radical climate group affiliated with a stacey abrams. this was the epa as they put it, is the biden epa put it they were throwing gold bars of the window. $20 billion altogether. trying to get the radical climate groups including 2,000,000,004 stacey abrams group. it is corrupt and what is amazing is you don't sea eminent -- any democrats in the senate sang gosh this stuff is bad w

james carville is advising democrats just to play possum. watch. >> i'm telling democrats, sit there, play possum, let him go, let him go. poll numbers are declining, the collapses underway. >> trace: they are keeping fingers crossed and they may have to wait a long time for this to go there way. >> absolutely. it's kind of nice that the democrats are finally playing possum. let them be quiet and do nothing and watch the country succeed at their loss. >> trace: sophia, jason, thank you both. >>> meantime democrats continue pursuing challenges to elon musk department of government efficiency even as they continue to lose in court. chanley painter is live in new york with the latest on this. >> reporter: overall it's been a week of wins for d.o.g.e. in federal court. so far a judge in d.c. has denied a request to blocked out from department of education student borrower data while another judge has denied a request to blocked out from accessing sensitive records from the department of labor, hhs and consumer financial protection. d.o.g.e. has

i'm okay with james carville staying there. he's i've always thought he he believed in triangulation, i guess not. >> yeah. look, carville knows his party has gone batcrap crazy. he's been very explicit about it. and it's, i got to say, looking at the congressional democrats, they are in denial. they're walking around in a state of shock. they continue to be captive to the radical left wing of their party. i'll tell you, sean, i've enjoyed you know, you think about it. we're a month into it. i say to my democrat colleagues in just a deadpan voice. well, three years, 11 months to go, and they literally start twitching. it is it is incredible what has been accomplished in 30 days. i think of the history of the country. there has never been a president hit the ground running like this tackle so much. and i got to say doge every day. doge has come out now with a list of $3.5 billion in specific waste that they found that they're cutting and they are just getting started. look, one of the ones you put up on the screen a second ago, $

but james carville told him to stick to sports. >> stephen. >> are you kidding me? before you start running your mouth off about politics, a topic of which you really don't know anything about. so, stephen, a keep up your on sports. i enjoy it, i like it, but don't make a fool of yourself anymore. and talking about politics. >> attacking stephen is crazy. he's like one of the hottest talents in america and probably one of our top trash talkers. stephen, i heard the raging cajuns message loud and clear fired right back. >> but if you really, really think james carville about what i said, you've been saying the exact same things. i saw you on fox news. i saw you on cnn. i saw you on your podcast. where the hell you think i got some of the stuff from? is what i said really the problem, or is it the fact that some novice who doesn't know his from a hole in the wall when it comes to politics, is resonating in the political stratosphere more than you? and if you're going to mention my name, can we cut out the profanity? >> fox news contributor joe concha joins us now. so

james carville had some words about your race.s are almost certain to win the virginia governor's race -- not almost, they are certain to win it. and they are certain to win the house of representatives back. and that's just a fact that you can look and see and trump is the lowest rated president at this point of any president in american history. >> lawrence: he said it's a fact that essentially you are going to lose your race and you would say to him? >> james, my man, do you have some lottery numbers for me? because you seem so certain? except y you were certain before with biden and look where that got you. >> lawrence: it's true. >> i will just say my opponent has voted against building the wall. she has voted for amnesty, for criminal illegals, she has voted against qualified immunity to -- so so that the morale of our law enforcement will stay up. and pier personal possessions won't be subject to being taken from them because they are doing their job keeping us safe. i mean, she is running on the successes of a republican a

as an example, as james carvill said earlier from this stage. if one out of every 100 people change their minds in the three midwest and the blue wall states, we don't have a president blaming d.e.i. for a tragedy in the potomac. as an example. one out of 100. an there's obviously a diverse electorate but when we look at younger people, there's been an unmistakable pattern this century. when democrats win 60% of the youth vote, they win elections. john kerry won 55%. hillary clinton won 55%. you start with 55%. injure job is to go from 55% to 60% and the math takes care of it self. the harris campaign started with 55% and rather than expanding it, it got somewhere in the low 50's and i think that is, to connect with what stephanie said earlier, kind of a lack of listening and understanding what the real anxieties and fears were of this particular cohort of voters. there were a lot of lessons from the 2022 campaign that were not changed. they were very successful. to me a lot of the messaging is consistent with what happened in 2022. rather than

what james carville is talking about, things in the ether what it means for medicaid and medicare.e points to virginia specifically. there are federal workers in northern virginia. remember this past election, virginia almost went republican, despite considered purplish blue. so it is interesting to see the prognostication because democrats are trying to hold on to something that they can say this is it. this is the moment. >> ainsley: what do you think will happen in terms, he's saying democrats will take virginia and winsome sears is running for governor, she says, be my guest, i'll invite them to my inauguration. >> bret: yeah, she's impressive candidate and has blessing of popular governor youngkin. we're a long way from the midterms, but it does depend on what congress can do. executive orders are significant and make big trans formational changes. they are only good until next president. big changes that stick around forward, this stuff is codified into law and what budget looks like they have been fighting about. i don't have kalt or props ping-ponging, he's got us covered a

james carville has this message for dems pushing back on the trump administration. >> the question isticians respond to this? and what i think they should do is what we call in rural america play possum. just let it go, don't get in the way of it. as we like to say, don't just stand there, do nothing. let this germinate. we don't need to get in front of it. this freight train is moving. >> harris: power panel in "focus" now. caroline, nation -- and that is tough advice. play dead in the road. don't do anything. james carville likening you you guys to possums on the left side of the aisle. >> i'm from rural america so i get it. there are a lot of dead possums on the road. we have to be careful. >> harris: you don't want to be either one of those. >> i agree. look, the culture issues are important. i think democrats tend to downplay them. i was at a retreat last weekend with a bunch of party insiders and their solution was to stop talking about cultural issues all together. i was waving my arms saying no, we need to talk about them. democrats want to focus on kitchen table issues. you c

james carville is over there talking common sense to the people and to the party but they're not havingetterman is basically diagnosing what's wrong with the democratic party and became a party of intolerant skulls lecturing everybody on how to live and what to think and what to believe in. being so open minded it's like the brain fell out of the back of their head. watch senator john fetterman here. watch. >> i think their primary currency was shaming and scolding and talking down to people and telling them, hey, i know better than you or you're a dope or bro or ignorant. don't you -- how can you be this dumb? i can't imagine it. by the way, they're fascists and how can you vote for that going to an extreme and you become a boutique kind of proposition that you're going to lose the argument and then we have done that. liz: they've lost the argument. name calling and wearing. what do you -- name calling and swearing. the democratic party became the party to enforce morality and putting people on the backfire and american people spoke and said enough is enough. we don't want a party that

one strategist, james carville, says that democrats should just. >> play possum. >> stay out of the way. >> let the street level. >> protests lead the response to trump. do you agree with that? >> listen, i think democrats. >> are in a peculiar position right now because the reactionary, you know, that the reactionary that we're seeing on social media is that. people want dems and congress to do something. the reality is democrats in congress are not in power. and so to the piece that james carville is saying, yes, let republicans, you know, play their game, drive all this. >> chaos. >> keep their hands out of that. but then. >> you. >> do have democrats like the governors of maryland and governors of illinois, who are actually pushing back and are challenging the administration. these state attorneys and attorney generals who are bringing up these cases that are actually challenging the trump administration. the other thing that democrats have. >> to. >> continue to do, because they are doing this, you see this from my former boss, senator elizabeth warren. you see this from the jasmin

in the house, as james carville mentioned earlier, we picked up her seat in the house. the republicans now have the second smallest majority in the house in american history. in the senate, the republicans flipped four seats and now have a majority of 53. three of those four were in blood red states that trump won by huge margins, west virginia, montana, and i regret to say, my home state of ohio. in the swing states it was a different story. 7 swing states, right, 5 of them had us senate races on the ballot too, democrats won four of those five and we lost the fifth by 2/10 of one person. as i say, i think it is really easy to over interpret what happen. none of this is to say i disagree with the theme that democrats have been losing the plot for some time, and hopefully we will be able to talk about at 2 why that is happening and how we might reverse it in the years ahead. >> let's let somebody else talk. >> i will bounce around if you don't mind. you or the national woman's vote director for joe biden in 2020. he beat trump by 15 points with women. hillary won by 13

. >> democratic strategist james carville has advice for democrats who oppose president trump's takeoverthem to, quote, do nothing. >> we're seeing signs and protesters saying, james, this is not even what people voted for, even if they are anti-trump voters. they're calling out a lot of things that they say exceed the president's authority or are dangerous or are gutting of the federal government. what's happening here? what do you see? >> what i see is something organic coming up from around the country. i don't think that there was a lot of organization. if you remember, in 2017, you had like a million women on the mall. this is happening all around the country. so the question is, how should democratic politicians respond to this? and what i think they should do is what we call in rural america play possum. just let it go. don't get in the way of it. or as we like to say, don't just stand there, do nothing. let it. let this germinate. we don't need to be. we don't need to get in front of it. this. this freight train is moving. let's just get out of the way. and then we're going to ha

james carville, focused on. >> your old friend james carville, talked about what he thinks the reaction of democrats should be. he says, what i think they should do is what we call in rural america play possum. just let it go. don't get in the way of it. or, as we like to say, don't just stand there, do nothing. so sort of let trump cook for now until maybe he goes too far. what do you think of that? >> um, you know, uh, i don't dismiss what james has to say. i don't agree with him on this. one second example. let's take government reform where i think democrats should be on the price of not just defending government. here's an example. in 2023, they aggregated all the inspector general reports. they added up to $93 billion in savings. i would file a case today. it's very clear by the law that the president broke the law. you have to have 30 day notice for all the inspector generals who are the police on the beat against waste, fraud and abuse. doge has basically found maybe a couple billion dollars. there's $93 billion found by the professionals. let's put each and every one of those u

to paraphrase james carville, it's the law, stupid. you're not stupid, kate. but i mean, generally. >> that is a that is a misquote of the james carville, but an appropriate one in this regard. but what you're saying is important to keep in mind, because as each, yeah, ruling comes down, everyone can everyone we're seeing is spinning it their own way. so what is actually happening here is an important thing to keep in mind. thank you ali, it's great to see you sarah. >> all right. a warning about how president trump's latest power grab and his executive orders could discourage military leaders from following the law versus following their orders. and a stunning late night overtime loss for team usa. sufficient to say this battle is a lot more than just on the ice. >> the champions. >> my friend. >> is that coffee in the cup there? >> john? >> you know what it is. it's canadian. >> it's the news. >> welcome back. >> but it's also kind of not the news. >> we don't fact. >> check here. we don't care, man. why is all the information on this show so terrible? >> ha

. >> so the james carville approach, because, you know, that's what i think james carville said, democrats need to just sit back. >> and let the show come. >> it's a democrat here. let me explain how the democrats work with their real followers. and they love a good rule. they love a sternly worded memo as well, but they love the rules. you know what donald trump does? he don't play by the rules. there's no rules. no rules. and so we don't know what to do. a bunch of overeducated, mainly white folks trying to figure this out from harvard and yale. >> but the. >> rules but the rules, you see the you can't do that. they throw it on the book. >> but i will tell you, chuck, one rule that i strongly i will live by as long as i'm on television. if you can't say it to your grandmother, don't say it on television. >> well, we start also with the. >> president of. >> the united states. >> saying that we could say that, too. >> so some of us were being taught that by. >> exactly. i was like. >> my nana would kill me. i can't say that. right. >> yeah. certain things i just won't say. even if the pres

the only person i think democrats should be listening to right now is james carville, who says democrats need to talk about the economy and do it on a podcast, that is not what i just saw. constitutional kriesdz crisis, it is political crisis. >> trace: four fema employs ees fired. the firings come after elon musk wrote on x doge team just discovered fema spent 59 million last week to house illegal migrants. they are getting caught red-handed doing this stuff and yet people complain, this is violation of our rights. >> it is ez crazy, it is a shame that it is a problem. think what that money could do for homeless veterans, children, who deserve to be taken care of because they are american citizens. 59 million is a lot of money for a lot of suffering people. >> trace: you have people that suffered hurricanes in north carolina and in florida, maybe a little money down here. >> i think the woman who reallocated the funds should be tried for treason. she circumvented the will of the president, who represents the freewill of the american people and allowed funds to go to illegal immigrant ra

james carville has been railing against this to anyone who will listen. i saw stephen smith who is hardly conservative, went on tv and said the american people consider their options and saw donald trump as the less crazy alternative to the democrats and the democrats many of them making a choice to say let's go back to the playbook we've been using against trump in the elections. yet again. the few clarion calls and the other direction are gaining attention because i think it resonates with a lot of people whether it is carville or fetterman. ashley: really appreciate it. donald trump just signing a reciprocal tariff plan targeting countries that tax or restrict american goods. how is taiwan responding to trump's tariff threats? >> we are hearing quick reaction from across the government but it is the largest producer of semiconductors and advanced chips, something that is down to the smart phones we have on us at all times. taiwan quickly responding. this statement after trump's comments saying the tariff threats and pressure on the island, the semicond

the only people i think democrats should be listening to is a james carville who says democrats have to learn to talk about the economy authentically and do it on podcast, it's not what i just saw. a constitutional crisis? it's a political crisis for the democrats. >> trace: foxnews.com writes, four fema employees fired for paying for hotels for migrants, the firings come after elon west wrote the doge found out is that for maximum 50 million last week on luxury hotels to house illegal migrants. via getting caught red-handed doing this stuff, you people complain, this is a violation of our rights! >> you should be ashamed to admit is happening, not caught doing it. there's a problem that it's being publicized, $59 million? think we that could do for homeless veterans, homeless children, those who deserve to have a meal, 59 million is a lot of money. i wish they admit that they got caught and not ashamed because summary found the information. >> trace: hurricanes, maybe? maybe a little money down here? >> i think that woman that allocated to the funds should be tried for treason, she

i can't believe i'm saying this but i will give credit where it's due, i think that james carville wasto these people but they did not pay attention because the party, democrats allow the people that they used as their agitators forget out the vote, they and trying them within the democrat party and adopted all of their insanity as part of their platform. if they are looking where all their democrat voters are culturally or at the ballot box, they left. they registered is independence or they went and voted for trump because the right has learned how to build a coalition. that is what people like. they don't want to have to forfeit everything that they know to be true just to cast a vote for an elected official or somebody like kamala harris who is the person that they got to jump on the land mine of this losing election for them. i don't feel a lot of pity for them. i don't. >> jesse: do you think the democrat coalition is going to get it together or do you think we will see this in two segments like this for the next couple of years? >> i hope so because i live for that content injec

democrat consultant james carville said stephen a.now his ass from a hole in the ground. he said a hole in the ground is where he lays his eggs. because he is a lesser to. lizards lay eggs, don't they? who cares. actors cynthia erivo, there she is, has joined the hollywood production of jesus christ superstar in which she will be playing the title character jesus christ. in a related casting note the virgin mary will be played by this character -- after. d.o.g.e, otherwise known as the department of government efficiency has revealed that 1.9 billion in how to money has been displaced during the budget administration. nobody is sure where it went but that could explain the bulge in rachel levine's skirt. finally, scientists have developed a drone that can smell. a drone that smells? don't we have that already? [laughter] you hate him. so here we go. i wonder if our culture sends a message to young command that you should suppress every masculine urge. >> i think that our culture sends a message to young men that you should suppress ev

james carville took a shot at joe biden, kamala harris. >> we started our seventh string quarterback.stands over this disaster like a coll as -- until democrats learn that and quit talking goofy language that no one else talks. we have to be nice to people. screw that, run over them. >> harris: oh my goodness. just step away from the violent talk for a second, david. >> i think what he is saying here this ongoing message that the democrats are giving of focusing on the same sort of issues. we already know that. as someone -- i'm african-american and lgbt. i know democrats are concerned about me for these issues but i'm more interested how much does it cost to feed my family? how will i make the mortgage? i'm concerned about safety in cities like new york that have become lawless. these are the things that i am concerned about today and the messages that the democrats need to foix on. >> harris: ten seconds, jose. >> i agree. we care about lbgt and democrats and get them in the right order. we didn't do that with the economy. >> harris: senator john feeterman might be the new leader of

so i can kind of believe james carville saying that.s, they have cried wealth so many times when it comes to donald trump and the american people have gotten smart to it. think about the russia collusion hoax, them trying to get hysterical over the ukraine phone call. they lied recently and said that donald trump would ban mac ivf and they went so far this election is to say that americans and interracial couples, donald trump would put them in internment camps. it's outrageous. the american people have seen through the nonsense, they want someone who's working for them. that's why donald trump won, that's why republicans won. and until the democrats figure out there better off talking about ways to fix our country and help people and not convincing the american people that men can have babies and breastfeed, i think they may want to take a note from the republicans. >> jesse: pretend you are a democrat just for fun and we will let you go back to a republican in a second. what would you do, would you play possum, would you work with don

builder developer pushing elected officials move quicker he understands the issue i agree with james carvilleting up on trump not a path forward to that i agree with that, everybody needs to work together, because the problem is so much bigger than politics right now. maria: i know you ran into jeffrey katzenberg you did not want to shake his hand led charge against you supporting karen bass. >> as to well, i try not to shake hands with anybody who -- criticizes my familyis dishonest donate do the right thing in life i said when he issues a public apology i will shake his hand i do believe in public for givenz the people need to step up do the right thing we've got let's see over 150,000 people now homeless because they lost homes, we've got tens, tens of thousands that lost jobs, i don't know about you i don't have any time for politics playing games, selling teslas anything else. maria: what do you want to say about insurance market the home insurance market is reeling after wildfires, the state no i forcing private insurance companies pay one-billion-dollar bailout into fair plan insurance

and it is not a hill they need to die on peered i am with rahm emanuel and david axelrod and james carville we want to be doing, you listed the democratic priorities, how you perceive the democratic priorities right now. imagine those with millions of dollars of 30-second ads, the ads are being written right now for all of these vulnerable democrats in really marginal district, and they are going to have to defend spending taxpayer money on some of those things that you listed off. >> will: but you know, michael, it seems like you sort of made this bed and you have to lie in it. i don't begrudge you for the desire for your party to change but when i say you made this bed, the democratic party has done this verbal tic that goes viral, pandemic of vaccinated, threat to democracy, on and on, nazis, whatever is the current sort of slur du jour, target du jour, and now the target du jour is elon musk. it will be gone in a couple of weeks but this is your flavor of the day, you want to yell -- not you personally, the democratic party wants to yell about elon musk. >> two weeks before the election

appreciative of this kind of thing because in the end, you still have fetterman, hakeem jeffries, james carvillehillips, even hakeem jeffries is saying we've got to find common ground with them on something. but you know, they ignored the history of the clinton presidency, fired 400,000 people, bureaucrats, and they call that the national partnership reinventing government to make the federal government less expensive and it was obama who pledged to do the same in 2011 so all this does is it comes down to hate. it is like, you know, when you get divorced, you hate the other person so much, you don't care if it hurts the kids. >> dana: and then we were going to talk about the department of education a little bit, too, because those are supposedly about kids. bernie sanders was the chairman of the education committee for four years under biden, had one hearing on education the entire time, and then they go and complain. harold, what do you think about these protests that are a throwback? are they having any effect? >> harold: i doubt -- first of all, good to be with you. i don't think so. i think

james carville is still a partisan. is he still going to root for his team.ink he gives them solid advice sometimes telling them where to adjust. dip is he right. >> steve: he is right. >> lawrence: all this singing and protesting. you are going against the american people right now. they're on donald trump's side. his approval rating going up. all they are doing is attacking elon musk to used to be -- you are all driving his cars. now you hate him just play dead. just lay down. just take it for a little bit. and if the trump administration messes up, then do some protesting. >> steve: here's the thing. is he a real list. the republicans control all the government. they have got the house, the senate and the white house, there is nothing the democrats can do other than sing about it they sing bad too. >> steve: give them enough reap. get out of the way his popularity, according to the polls is surging jen psaki was warning stop screaming constitutional crisis pick spots that matter. >> i have a problem with this. fetterman has two or three things he really li

guy, democrat strategist james carville, now, he's ripping his own party.ms democrats are treating minorities as if they're all the same. watch this. >> the most racist thing that i hear is when people say communities of color, people of color, because that assumes that everybody that is not white is the same. which is, like, it's horribly, a horribly -- i think it's racist. to say, well, fill pinots are the same as hondurans, the same as nigerians are the same as a indonesians is absurd. and they just keep using this language. stuart: guy, take the big picture for a second. it seems that identity politics is becoming very much a thing of the past. >> well, it's becoming a thing that's controversial even within democratic politics not because they don't believe in it necessarily, but because they're worried it's threatened their power and is causing them the lose, right? the identity train, they were all onboard if it was chugging in the correction direction idealogically and electorally. and now when that is in question, there are people with second though

. >> i want to get james carville the democrat hysteria in the probative education and everything.e's what he had to say about what the fellow democrats are doing. roll tape. >> it's like a plan and progressing unquote america that sees how many stupid things that they can embrace its stunningly stupid not both of them. >> it unites with the transit issue, people just want to get back to common sense girls do want to have to worry about men in their bathroom. >> carville is expressive the frustration that i would share on his side. conservatives might create this gargoyle cartoon characters of crazy left-wingers that would enable you people and then you see the people come to life all the time doing those actively in alienating things in carville is blaming his party to be more normal. interestingly john fetterman the sediment from pennsylvania is behaving accordingly and he keeps waiting for others to join him. he is looking around and maybe he feels lonely sometimes. >> i've a feeling they will gravitate towards that if not him personally, thank you for being here. checking the m

in the house, as i think james carville mentioned, we picked up a seat, and the republicans now have the second smallest majority in the house in american history. in the senate, it's true the republicans flipped four seats, and now have a majority of 53, but remember that three of those four were in blood red states that trump won by huge margins, west virginia, montana, ohio. but in the swing states it was a different story. there are seven swing states. five of them had u.s. senate races on the ballot too. democrats won four of those five and lost the fifth by .2%. so, as i say, i think it's easy to over interpret what happened. none of this is to say that i disagree with the theme that democrats have been losing the plot for some time and hopefully we will be able to talk about that and how we might be able to reverse it, but let me let somebody else talk. >> carissa, maybe i will bounce around if you don't mind. you were the national women's vote director for joe biden in 2020 and beat trump by 15 points. hillary won by 13 points in vice president harris won only by eight points

. >> bill: james carville has another twister.e idea now inside the party. >> it's like there is a plant somewhere in quote progressive unquote america that just sees how many stupid things they can embrace. it is stunningly stupid, both of them. >> bill: i would have liked to have seen that on camera. it is stunningly stupid when the imagine -- imagine ortive of americans have to balance a budget. they are trying and the democrats are saying you keep doing that we'll shut this place down. >> one buzz word is constitutional crisis. another phrase we're hearing argument from the democrats is no one elected elon musk for his team. i just don't understand from the party that has fully supported to the hilt every federal -- now one person unelected making recommendations to try to reduce the size and scope of government that's the crisis? who elected them? that's logic, that argument could be easily applied to the bureaucratic state they are defending possibly with a government shutdown. i haven't heard them grapple with that hypocris

james carville, david axelrod.l resonate with voters. cutting benefits, not slashing foreign aid. what about that assessment of some of those democrats and the pushback on the elon musk stuff? >> yeah. so, i think the democratic message has been pretty weak. i think yesterday when they were yelling "we will win" i'm not even sure we think that's inspirational of what they are trying to win. in my opinion they should work with the rest of congress and make sure that the legislative branch is a co-equal and has the power of the purse. i actually think the idea of doge made a lot of sense but i think it's just running, in my opinion, way too ad hoc, seems to be just, you know, throwing darts and see what sticks. i think it should be more prescriptive. i don't have an issue that they are challenging budget line items programs like usaid. some things make sense and some things don't. i'm surprised that all of congress both the g.o.p. and democrats are rolling over when this is really the most power they is the power of

i know that's some accolade that's like being first in line at a james carville kissing booth. >> i'd rather be first and last. >> that is disgusting. >> yeah. >> it's disgusting. disgraced ex-new jersey senator bob menendez was sentenced to 11 years in prison for accepting bribes. he appeared to be really excited about the sentence, but it was just a gold bar in his pants. since the pandemic. american students have fallen further behind in reading skills. on the bright side, though, being illiterate is not an obstacle to success. but also, only one third of new york city fourth graders were deemed proficient in math, which is great for me. i can now charge twice as much when i buy them beer. 15% of women in federal prison are actually men claiming to be transgender. that's according to the new york times. and that weekend i spent at san quentin. scientists are using scientists are using genetic engineering to create mice with two male parents. it's all part of a bigger plan to create mice who love musicals. and on the view, joy behar claims the new white house press secretary got her

one branch mentions you, james carville, saying you haven't been in the trenches legislatively or electorally in a full generation, going on to say, in order to be a democratic strategist, you have to actually do politics. currently, not just podcast about it. i'm curious, first, your reaction to those comments. david? >> well, i guess i'd say to senator, uh, to to the senator that if if he feels like things are going well, then keep on doing what he's doing. i you know, there are a lot of folks, a lot of democrats who are disappointed with the result of the last election. and my question whether the party was on the right path. and look, i agree, you know, i don't agree with aaron that people should be unconcerned about what, uh, elon musk is doing. elon musk is shutting down federal aid. i mean, there's a reason why federal courts are stepping in to slow this process down, because elon musk is in in flagrant disregard of rules and laws and and norms here. uh, and so, you know, we have an article, one of the constitution that gives the congress certain authorities, uh, article two that gives
