host: john fetterman had some thoughts. he got a democratic governor, senator john fetterman who is further to the right. bob casey is a legend so how do you do that? >> it is a 50-50 state. democratic governor but the other four statewide are republican. one of the few states with a split senator and decided by extremely small margins. the state that comes closest to mirroring the demographics is pennsylvania. urban, rural, racially, ethnically pretty similar. finally pennsylvania is the fifth biggest state, that lends itself to pennsylvania. in terms of how you win there are a couple cross cutting measures going on, not just in pennsylvania but nationally. so if you go back 30 years ago, the pennsylvania map looked almost entirely different from how it looks today in two respects. number one, in southwestern pennsylvania outside of pittsburgh, very blue-collar, largely white area. used to be ry union. still has some union presence. mike dukakis, the 1998 presidential candidate who lost nationwide and narrowly lost pennsyl

pennsylvania senator, john fetterman can bring to the hoodie to the oval office.id this about democrats. >> he won the popular vote 1.5%, one of the smallest ever. he won the general election by less than 50%. what kind of mandate is this really? it is a mandate and i will explain why. i don't mind the question but let me be clear. i'm not a supporter of trump but the truths and the facts. the fax is the man won every swing state any increased his voter turnout in his paper from the standpoint of blacks, latinos, young voters. he increased his numbers in that regard from 2020. 89% of the counties shifted to the right. that is a mandate! the man won every swing state and 89% of the county shifted. i don't understand how people can look at that and say there is no mandate! there is a mandate! >> kayleigh: emily, i wonder how joy behar found about a fact bomb dropped on her head. [laughs] >> emily: words never spoken on that set clearly. you mentioned mark cuban and he had an interesting interview and they talked about the democratic strategy. i thought firsthand and

fetterman's look works for him. it's a look that says, i'm just like you. i've given up. john'sy person in america who goes to cbs for the clothes. when the fashion. when the when the fashion police see him, they say we're going to need backup. >> and. >> there's something else fetterman and trump have in common. brain damage. >> okay, okay. >> all right. neurological issues. trump has the whole malignant narcissism thing that makes it difficult for him to distinguish between reality and whoever's kissing his ass. >> and. >> and fetterman has had a stroke and been hospitalized for depression and needs a special speak and say device to communicate. he's legally a disabled person, which is actually great news for the democratic ticket, because, okay, look, i don't just have the top of the next democratic ticket. i'm also going to throw in the best bottom the democrats have. pete buttigieg. >> yeah. yeah. remember. >> mayor pete used to be everyone's favorite boy genius from indiana. well, he's all grown up now. and he too seems to be trying to send a message that he wants to join

trump has that package. >> jesse: john fetterman is no trump but he is a growing on me. back into the fight, listen. >> i never had an ambition to be president or vice president, i was honored to ask, if a file can serve i've well, if i think i can offer something or there is a piece to do it, that would be -- it do i have the skills that? i will do what. >> jesse: if not tampon tema what about gavin newsom? issuing an executive order to get workers back in the office. what about kamala harris? nancy pelosi has some advice for her party. she says forget tearing up speeches, go in for the kill shot. you have a mountain of rocks she said, went forwardly referring to all the potential issues in an election, what are the three or four? all right for the jugular. nancy pelosi swung her hands to the reporter's neck to drive home with a point, but they cannot go over trump's jugular because he is still at each other's. >> the democratic party's guide joe biden should have never been there in the first place. should not have a ran for president. >> i completely got so angry at j

but john fetterman doesn't play that game. he says, i don't give a fuck. left all my fucks in my other pants and i don't wear pants. >> but you see. >> again, like trump, fetterman understands the value of having a distinctive look. a brand trump with his yellow top and. four foot rayon red tie mimic, mimics the colors that every fast food franchise. >> it's true. with every. >> fast food franchise knows this, that for some reason, it gets people excited. who knows why it works, but it does. and i think fetterman's look works for him. it's a look that says, i'm just like you. i've given up. john's the only person in america who goes to cbs for the clothes. when the fashion. when the when the fashion police see him, they say we're going to need backup. and. there's something else fetterman and trump have in common. brain damage. okay, okay. all right. neurological issues. trump has the whole malignant narcissism thing that makes it difficult for him to distinguish between reality and whoever's kissing his ass. and and fetterman has had a stroke and been hos

>> uh, yeah, there is definitely some big overlap in adam sandler's day to day and john fetterman's day to day, but i'm going to go ahead and say john fetterman wore it better because he was at the white house making a statement. um, but i guess the same thing could be said for adam sandler. gosh, i'm going to call it a tie. >> oh. >> well, you know what? a tie is not what fetterman will wear. but i remember interviewing him for the white house correspondents dinner, and he had on us he had on a actual sweatshirt, and he had cufflinks. he had cufflinks in the actual hoodie. and i just thought, you know what this >> you say at that dinner. amber ruffin, good to see you. >> hey, good to see you, everyone. >> thank you so much. and of course, thank you for watching. anderson cooper 360 is next. >> tonight on 360. major breaking news. president trump pausing military aid to ukraine. what? he wants to turn the aid back on, and whether it's something president zelenskyy can actually deliver. also, a special report on how doge cuts threaten life saving food for hundreds of thousands of malnour

to day, but i'm going to go ahead and say john fetterman wore it better because he was at the white house making a statement. um, but i guess the same thing could be said for adam sandler. gosh, i'm going to call it a tie. >> oh. >> well, you know what? a tie is not what fetterman will wear. but i remember interviewing him for the white house correspondents dinner, and he had on us he had on a actual sweatshirt, and he had cufflinks. he had cufflinks in the actual hoodie. and i just thought, you know what this

the only one i can think of it is john fetterman but still, there's no bill clinton.'t have anybody in the party strong enough and brave enough to stand up and confront the left, they are parasites on their party and its damaging not just for the democratic party but america because you need to help the parties and at the moment democrats are on the wrong side of these 80 -- 20 -- 70 -- 30 issues and that's why donald trump, despite it all, he was treated so poorly first term and look how the goals are going his way because he's on the right side, the only person espousing commonsense policies for country that stock for years of crazy left policies under -- joe biden. >> you know, just to continue this, i know democratic polls, 81% of people favorite deportation. 81% favored deportation of illegals, 76% favored eliminating trade and waste, 69% want to cut the budget by a trillion dollars. even on a peace deal getting big numbers, 72% want to negotiate on peace deal. 60% favored trump russian peace talks so you have democrat nitpicking and calling trump names for what

he's looking at the democratic party and maybe only what john fetterman would have said before, therea failureh in leadership. >> that to me is the failure of leadership in the .emocratic party we are just being technical, hoping they self-destruct, buts isthere is not enough focus has bernie sanders is on concrete mission going forward to solve the massive inequality and to understand that many people who voted for trump were not just angry, they were justifiably angry. >> brian: smog, go ahead. >> i guess that is what happens when kamala harris wins aer perfece.t campaign. maughter] there it is right there. not only did the media lied ton isthe public jake tapper includ, saying joe biden is perfect and as arithmetic camp back flips and private. then they told the american people kamala harris, she is ath perfect candidate for the time and she's going to win. now they are stuck looking for answers, the answer is thehe american people looking for were president trump and that is why he won. >> president trump's media strategy being a transparent ani niadministration works to his advan

a few names meant to make listed in that piece, espn commentator, smith, mark cuban, senator john fetterman one federal democratic strategist and this is a quote, modern political history, there has never been a time more favorable for someone not of the system to rise in de politics. these potential candidates have a bigger lane more than ever. did they develop? because look at the women in pink. they didn't even understand the democrat women or maybe they didn't care but they have not shown they have women's' back. take that off. >> exactly, it is offensive and totally offensive pier to the interesting thing on every singe issue, the sanctuary cities and the issue girls sports and on and on here to they show no sign of understanding and why tt the election so comprehensively. in previous generations, that was not the case. you saw in the posterior pad's democrats kept losing and a new group of democrats who sincerely believed that the party had to move to the center and they made the case for that. they held conferences and got together and bill clinton was one of them. now you see no sig

student getting accepted into west point that doesn't get any democrat to pay attention except john fettermantweeted this out. a sad call have a slide self-owns and petulance only makes trump look more presidential and restrained. we are becoming the met fork call car alarms that no one pays attention to. it may not be the winning message. stephen colbert among people. david axelrod among democrats, i'm embarrassed by that behavior. what was that? these were american stories. not trump stories. everything in politics now they link to trump. it just can't be a moment to unify the country and they just seem to have lost their minds when it comes to donald trump that they completely broke them they can't do the honorable thing just stand there. applaud sit there peacefully and not disrupt a joint session. we showed you some of the polling yesterday, voters are going to reject this kind of nonsense. >> ainsley: you don't want to support your lawmakers that are supporting other american stories, we don't know how that young man how d.j., how his parents voted. they might not have voted for trump l

fellow democrat john fetterman, senator from pennsylvania put out this, a sad cavalcade self-owns andsidential and restrained met fork call car alarms that no one pays attention to and may not be the winning message from one of their own. let's bring in the panel. byron york. washington examiner. former white house press secretary ari fleischer. you know, byron, there is this fallout about the tariffs and couple times in the speech what caroline said there there may be some disturbances that people are going to have to feel. they have now exempted car makers for a month. there may be agricultural products that get put on this list as well. tried to get that out of peter navarro. couldn't get there what do you think about this at this point? >> well it, does seem a little bit disorganized right now. we're going -- these tariffs will go in at midnight on this day and only going to accept cars which is a big part of it. as far as the fentanyl you tried to peter navarro about what is canada doing and not doing. as far as fentanyl is concerned. and there were predictions of doom before whe

the good news for democrats is they have that guy and his name is john fetterman. voters aren't really savvy about the issues, but they do have it have made it clear what is important to them. authenticity. balls and charisma. trump has that package, and so does fetterman. >> fetterman has grown on me, but he's no trump. they'll have to keep looking. tampon. tim was asked about getting back in the fight. listen. >> look, i never had an ambition to be president or vice president. i was honored to be asked as if i feel like i can serve, i will, and if nationally, that looks like if i think i could offer something or if there's a piece there that would do it, i would certainly consider that. i, it would be that i have the skill set. i'll do it. >> if not tampon. tim. what about gavin newsom? he just issued an executive order demanding workers return to the office. a bold stroke, but how about kamala just stuffing her face with doritos? nancy pelosi has some advice for her party. she says forget tearing up speeches. go in for the kill shot. you got a mountain of rocks,

senator john fetterman of pennsylvania thought the response lacked decorum and played into trump's hand. he posted on x a sad cavalcade of cell phones and unhinged petulance. it only makes trump look more presidential and restrained. the democrats tactics also became the butt of late night jokes. >> that is how you save democracy by quietly dissenting or bidding on an antique tea set. it was hard to tell what was going on on. i'm. i'm just kidding. that was very cool. democrats. in fact, i made my own sign. >> joining me now is democratic from california, congressman ro khanna. congressman, thank you for being here. you see the paddles? they did not go over well. they did not have one. you did not have one. why was that the tactic, do you know was that planned. why. >> well look, i am actually in agreement with senator fetterman that there has to be some decorum to the chamber. i mean, maybe it's because i. >> was born. >> in pennsylvania, grew up in pennsylvania. most people there decent, they're patriotic. they expect you to listen. and we could have stood when we did. you know i did.

as john fetterman said, where do you come down on this?well, i don't think he looked presidential from the moment he walked into that chamber. i think it was very obvious that half of the chamber did not even rise to greet him, because we were not going to normalize this president who is so clearly breaking the law and turning our country weaker and more expensive and hurting real americans. but listen, i don't think that the words that came out of his mouth were, by and large, coherent, nor an actual set of strategies that are going to make our country better. so, you know, democrats in different ways and forms, found moments and opportunities to do their own acts of resistance, whether it was silence, whether it was holding signs, or whether it was turning their back on the president. and i know that the american people heard the signal loud and clear, because we have heard from hundreds of americans that are grateful that we did not normalize his behavior last night. >> lacking coherence and not strategic. and yet it feels like controll

. >> senator john fetterman of pennsylvania, of course a democrat. but it's a state that donald trump won. he beat the the harris wahls ticket. he posted this on twitter today. he called last night the democratic. what happened with democrats last night? a sad cavalcade of cell phones and unhinged petulance. and he said it only makes trump look more presidential and restrained. and he says we're becoming the metaphorical car alarms that nobody pays attention to. and it may not be the winning message. what do you say to that? >> well, i totally disagree with it. the did senator fetterman listen to the speech? did he listen to the unhinged nature of the things that were being put out? the the the i don't know, the count stopped at 60 of falsehoods, misrepresenting and cheering an unelected, richest man in the world as he decimates the va system. so, look, i'm friends with senator fetterman. we've met on several occasions. i couldn't disagree with him more. and the decorum that that used to be there. i this false reporting. you've been there, casey. man
