james carville.i'm just asking if you agree or if not, what is the strategy? >> well, one, i want to correct one piece of the premise. when you get 49%, which is a plurality, not a majority, it's not a mandate. >> no, it's not a mandate. >> so one, they overinterpret it just like george bush did in 2004. and he said, i got a mandate, and he went to privatize social security. and he got smacked in 2006. they do not have a mandate. >> who gives a fuck? he won. he won the election. he won all seven. >> swing states. >> they are trying to believe something. and that's misinterpreting now number one. number two, let me say one. >> thing changes nothing. >> james carville, who is a dear friend, said two things in there that aren't the same. he said, retreat. and he said, rope a dope and rope a dope is not a retreat. it was using your strengths against your opponent's weaknesses and rope a dope in the sense of what? allowing donald trump to do what he is doing. and i think the biggest fight, the beyond what

on cnn last hour, james carville went off and he said, "trump hates this country."ft use it? do they think of him this way? because i think the greater majority of people think that is a silly statement to make. but they think he is sucking up to putin. we understand what he's doing with putin based on the oval office meeting last week. i got to stay neutral. if i'm going to help ukraine, russia, bring peace to ukraine, i have to stay in the middle. norse noisemakers, i would not advise it leave it at home. >> harris: democrats, don't they want peace? that is not how you get to peace. did they not only want peace for people across the world that don't they wanted at home? we are divided enough. >> emily: frankly, i don't think they do, harris. the prior administrations direct involvement for islamic republic and hamas and terrorist groups that the tendrils of which this administration are still having to cut arrays. with all that just last week with ag pam bondi intervening in that baby sparrow case. the contractors under the prior administration and the wars that t

joining us now, democratic strategist james carville. james, thanks so much for joining us.u and i have known each other for a long time. what do you think democrats should be focusing on in their response later tonight? well. >> i'm hearing stuff about. possible democratic actions during the speech. and this i don't know how much of it is true. i would urge the democrats to understand this is a most critical point in the united states. and i'm 80 years old. uh, i don't remember. i was born in the day of the battle of lady gulf. the first kamikaze was on the day i came into this world, and this man is actively trying to to destroy the united states. and i think we ought to treat this moment with real gravitas. i think we've got a very good selection in senator slotkin to deliver the rebuttal. but my advice is either don't go or go and sit on your hands and look grim, because the country is in a grim position right now. and i hope the democrats act like that. >> yeah, the relationship with close allies canada. who would have believed that the u.s. and canada are doing what th

. >> james carville. >> was. >> right when he recently. >> recommended for democrats. >> to embark. >> on the most daring. >> political maneuver. >> in the history of our party. >> roll over. >> and play dead. >> allow the republicans. >> to crumble beneath their own. >> weight, and. >> make the american people miss us. >> instead. >> they offered mixed messages and. >> seemed out of. >> step with mainstream america. >> some wore blue. >> and yellow in support. >> of ukraine, others pink to protest. >> trump's policies, which they say are negatively. impacting women and families. >> the black caucus. >> well wore black. >> many carried paddles. they had messages. >> like musk steals, save. >> medicaid, protect. >> veterans among them, no constant theme. and then roughly five minutes into his address, texas democrat. >> al. >> green heckled trump, shaking his cane and ignoring speaker johnson's calls for him to sit down. he was physically removed from the chamber by the sergeant at arms, and then two days later, even ten of their own voted for his censure. that became a major story in

that's what james carville says. let them implode. the other is go after them, attack, attack, attack and let the public know just how bad it is. the democrats are divided democratic leaders, and until they come up with a coherent, cohesive approach, are the odds are going to be that more people are going to listen to trump? it almost seems like what they did with president biden, should he run? should he not democrats? there was a divided approach there. thank you larry. appreciate it. you can watch that joint address right here on nbc bay area. our live coverage begins at 6 p.m. tomorrow. then join us for a special primetime newscast right here on nbc beginning at 9 p.m. our coverage of the trump administration continues in just a few minutes. the white house announcing a multi-billion dollar pledge for the biggest chipmaker in the world to bring more business to america. our business and tech reporter, scott budman, will break down the impact to the silicon valley. let's move on now. are you ready for san francisco's newest park? o

or do we say back, like james carville says, and let it happen. let it let it implode, so to speak. they are divided, and as long as they're divided, they have no, no coherent response. so democrats, until they have some coherent response, are really looking look it up and they don't have the firepower they need. it's hard enough as it is when you're a minor party. you don't have the power the other guys do. but until they get their act together, they have a problem and that's what they have to worry about. after this speech tomorrow. all right. we'll be listening. larry gerston always appreciate you. candice. thanks, gia. thanks, larry. the u.s. is ending its cyber operations against russia. defense secretary pete hegseth put an end to the offensive strategies last week. right now, we don't know ifhe order is temporary or how long it could last. in the past few days, the trump administration has worked to repair a relationship with russia by also restoring embassy staffing. all this to negotiate to end the war in ukraine. as far as the end to the cyber operations, neither the u.s.

we have news coming in and house democrats and top democrats like rom emmanuel, david axelrod, james carvilleing its wheels and has no breakthrough message and it's at its worst ever and all eyes on president trump's joint address to congress tomorrow night. fox news mark meredith is in dc with the latest. mark. reporter: liz, good evening to you. democrats are split over how best to respond to the president and the report is nearly a dozen democratic lawmakers going to skip the address and chris murphy among those not going to show up and others want to use the high profile moment to highlight what's real pro problproblems and politico writing that some on the left argue it's best not to respond and not going to respond what's even worse. >> the problem is the deputies are playing dead for too many years and i don't think you play dead and stand up for the working class of the country and make the point. generating buzz for 2028 and former vice presidential nominee governor tim waltz of minnesota and interested in running for the white house again and no decisions yet and don't know if his r

it is as if the democrats have gone beyond even clinton strategist james carville's -- to stay silentey have become trivial and almost irrelevant." why do you remain a democrat? >> good question, john. it's an active review. i can say i'm not a republican. i disagree with many of the policies that president trump so articulately outlined. i think he's gone too far. but that being said, my party is not doing what bill clinton did when the newt gingrich revolution came in 1994, which is to offer a set of alternatives that recognize the american people want border security, a reduction in inflation, tougher policies on crime, and immigration reform. until we do that as a party, we democrats remain irrelevant, sadly. >> here's the latest response from democrats. it's on the form of a tiktok video that plays off of the mortal kombat "choose your fighter" area of the game. watch this. >> choose your character! ♪ ♪ speak of the general reviews are that it is pretty cringeworthy. what do you think? >> i was going to say, cringeworthy and completely irrelevant. i want alternative policies that

james carville and for kamala harris.crats strategy. it is easy to wake up when you lose the election. >> griff: he is clearly not an election but politicians have shifting gears 180 degrees or maybe he thinks that will help them. it is fascinating. let me point out one thing about john fetterman because you had him on the board. joe manchin left a link that was not filled. john fetterman is clearly in that lane and he may depending on the legislation to let to next four years may be the most important senator voting. and we will see if he has higher aspirations to bring to the deed to the oval office. that is a good line. the messaging has to change and last night, donald trump spoke to the working class yet again. despite all of what the democrats criticizing him, there was a heavy message to the working class that i have got elected to do a job for you and that is what i'm going to do. so, they have to find a way to give whoever the person will be to talk to the working class again and be taken seriously. >> kayleigh:

. >> a lot of folks were talking about that james carville article. roll over and play dead? about we will stand back and watch you run circles around us for six months? it struck me is not necessarily the best advice. >> i hope you guys retreat. more for us. >> there is no opposition or no spark. you guys are posting cringe videos on social media. >> what videos? harmonious things have 22 senators saying the same thing. go do more of that. >> what do you do, seriously, give us some ideas? better ideas, governor. >> brian: tell you cory booker went up to chuck schumer two weeks before the election, by the way we are getting our back and neck that kicked on social media, really, heads up. and afterwards he said we have to get better. so you brought this to me so you take the lead. this is his brainchild and i don't know how you feel about about the one person who made her name and social media, aoc. why would you not start with her and work your way back? i don't care, chino social media and charismatic and start them . i don't like the message but why are you doing it in your

of easily ripped up the speech, we remember that, saying don't be grist in the middle bq had james carvilleing play possum, play dead until we find our moment. democratic leaders are pleading with their constituency not to do this. they chose to do it. i imagine the 21% number is lower this morning. they need a leader. they are leaderless. a word of admission to republicans, you could find a leader. we remembered the obama years, republicans were lost and then donald trump came on the scene. revolutionized the party. republicans, stay on message, do what you did last night every night for the next three years. >> to that point, here is donald trump last night on his mandate for change. >> president trump: americans have given us a mandate for bold and profound change for nearly 100 years, the federal bureaucracy has grown, until it has crushed our freedoms, ballooned our deficits and held back america's potential. in every possible way. >> i mean, speaking of sticking to his message. that is the message that he went to deliver last night and he sure did. >> it was a little different. the pa

james carville is saying that if you see a lot of the other moderate democrats on the outside like rahmmanuel they are saying pick your spots. let's see where the economy governments you really can't put the economy on the president. he has only had the job for seven weeks. is he going to point out executive order the success he has had. going to talk about his astounding record at the border can anyone even challenge it? the fact is he is cracking down in the area i wasn't expecting. on the cartels. the drug cartels. are you prodrug cartel? are you going to come out and not clap for that? he actually had a chance those cartel members that killed americans and brought them to american prisons. now 900 arrests inside mexico. those are the ones making the drugs. those are the ones who are bringing them to our borders. those are the ones who are going after our border patrol and makes it unsafe. i think he is also going to have tom homan as a guest to underline that i think that will be big. also the fact is when the president took over he said i want those hostages back. they are coming b

it's again what james carville talked ability.nomy, stupid. >> yeah, well, david trump also spent a significant amount of time praising elon musk's department of government efficiency citing billions of dollars in waste and fraud that doge has cut. kpix news has debugged a number of the claims and there have been protests against layoffs in the agency. so how or will a doge musk backlash impact the administration. >> it could. but there's an interestingin and yang here with elon musk and donald trump. the -- of course the sideline has been it's a co-presidentsy. that's really what's going on. but elon musk, because he's kind of the alter egotwin of donald trump, lingers a little bit longer. right? there was that scaramucci moment. the mooch a short period of time for those that are in donald trump's orbit. that's not elon musk. right now, elon musk can stay around for several months. maybe as long as six months into the summer. but that's where things get really tough. they get tough for republicans and in terms of passing legisla

democratic strategist james carville wrote this, roll over and play dead.own weight and make the american people miss us. senator, what say you? do you think that's a good idea? >> no, i don't. in fact account the problem is the democrats have been playing dead for too many years. 60% of our people live paycheck to paycheck. we have more income and wealth inequality than we've ever had in the history of this country where the highest rate of childhood poverty and millions of seniors are struggling to heat their homes and put food on the table. i don't think you play dead. i think you stand up for the working class in this country and make the point th right now the trump administration is clearly an administration designed to represent the interest of the musks of the world and 13 of the people that he nominated to head agencies are billionaires. kristen, when abraham lincoln was at gettysburg where so many died anded died defending freedom he talked about america, where we have a government of the people, by the people and for the people. what we have righ

you know, we talked about on your show that the james carville, you asked me what i thought. what do you think of carville's idea, which is basically stand back, let them destroy themselves. the poll numbers are bad. they're going to get worse. >> well, i mean, it's almost a moot point because what else can you do? they don't control the congress. well, i mean, it's funny that trump got into office immediately. everything was by executive order. and i was thinking, why you have the congress. >> and he. >> has such a small majority. >> yeah. and they do. yeah. but they all do whatever he says anyway. you could have done these things congressionally some of these things. and now they're, you know, using the congress obviously to get a budget passed. but, uh, i don't know what the i don't know what recourse you have when you again, you said it on the show. the answer is winning elections. power begets power. when you have power, it allows you to get more power. and now they have all the power. that's not good. i'm not sure we will ever see another election. i the mindset. >> i r

as james carville said? do we do the democrats just kind of sit back and watch and let things fall apart? you know, there is a fine line that many in the party are trying to thread, and tuesday will give us a glimpse into potentially one of the paths forward for the party. >> there has been pushback from the voters in constituents we've seen at these town halls. one of the early ones was here in roswell, not far from where we're sitting right now. and are we seeing that continue? we've got video here. this is kansas senator roger marshall at a town hall. i think we have time to play this. let's watch this. >> okay. remember, you got elected from the whole state. >> i'm going. >> to. >> say this. >> one time. if you all keep cutting me off, if you're rude, which you're being, i'm going to leave. and i know you're fed so much misinformation. i know i despise vladimir putin. he's a bloodthirsty war criminal. >> hey. >> hey. >> thank you. i think the government is doing right now as far as cutting out those jobs

james carville wrote in the new york times last week, roll over and play dead. and by the way, those were his actual words. you know, it's a little bit hard to square that stuff, to be honest, with the campaign season rhetoric about the dangers that, you know, quote unquote, fascist trump would pose to the united states in a second term. and then to take the very partizan point of view. well, actually, you know, never mind, let's just come back next year and try to win the midterm elections and not do anything when this astonishing assault unfolds on the federal government. and this goes to your question about tomorrow night. and, you know, i know that many democrats are planning to bring their own kind of fired workers to showcase this. but, you know, we all have seen, you know, the democratic complaints haven't broken through at the moment. there's a sense of trump and elon musk, you know, almost rampaging unchecked. you know, the image so far of the trump presidency that seems destined to be the iconic image of these first few weeks. is elon musk wielding a c

james carville. oh, yeah. yeah, yeah. this guy is a has been he's like he was an elevated consultant. do you know what i'm talking about? jessica. do you remember his name? jeff. jeff jarvis. yeah. yeah yeah. he's like a no. like he's just been around pretending to be like an expert. it makes you think that cnn's having a very hard time finding people to go on the show opposite jennings. >> jennings porn. >> i'm sure gavin newsom is going to be like, oh, let me at him. >> yeah. >> jennings versus newsom would be good. would you go on newsom's show? >> do they have snacks in the green room? >> yes they do, greg. >> then i'll be there. >> all right. up next, our favorite touchy italian is back. some democrats want andrew cuomo to save them. >> and i've been putting out fire. with gasoline. and power. >> so handsome. >> i think. >> oh, i, i can't buy this. >> what's wrong? hang on there. >> actually you can. you're in power. investment account has performed. >> well, and. >> this whole off white ish cantaloupe thingy is real

so is it james carville? is he correct that the party is just playing possum and is suddenly going to rise up at the right moment? or are we seeing some of the real structural weaknesses in the democratic party, where the people that are running the party are also having to listen disproportionately to billionaires and people who are wealthy and feel constrained with how much they can actually stray from that and put themselves on the side again, of the people in this case, and i don't think that we'll know. i think that we will know in a matter of weeks. i think in a couple of weeks we'll know the answer to that question. but is this just a temporary political tactic that is meant to lull the other side in a false sense of security, and enable the democrats to not be blamed by the press if there's a government shutdown, because the focus is on a republican party, because democrats say, you know, we essentially are toothless tigers, or are we seeing kind of the same forces play out in the democratic party wit
