00:00Hello, everybody. I'm Jesse Waters, along with Judge Jeanine Pirro, Jessica Tarlov,

00:04Dana Perino, and Greg Gutfeld. It's 5 o'clock in New York City, and this is The Five.

00:15The dumpster fire Democrats are channeling the immortal words of Hillary Clinton from back in

00:202016. Now, having said all this, why aren't I 50 points ahead, you might ask? Eight years later,

00:27and the Democrats are still asking themselves, why aren't they 50 points ahead of President Trump?

00:33Semaphore pointing this out in a new article, quote, Trump's falling in polls. Why aren't

00:38Democrats benefiting? And one Democratic pollster sums it up this way, quote, voters don't necessarily

00:45trust that the Democrats are going to stand up for them. Even folks that are seeing pain from what

00:50Trump's doing see some logic in it. But come on, is it really that mysterious? I mean, have you ever

00:56actually listened to Chuck and Nancy? Donald Trump is the embodiment of what the founders feared.

01:03Someone hostile, a president hostile to the rule of law, scared of debate, scared of opposition.

01:09So instead, he tries to crush anything he views as opposition. This guy comes along and says he's

01:14going to lower prices. He hasn't. He's going to do this. He's going to do that. All smokescreen.

01:22But we have to make sure the public knows what is in their interest.

01:30And good old Greasy Gavin's got a French laundry list of reasons why the Democrats suck.

01:36We got crushed and we need to understand why. Was it because of the incumbency penalty? Was it because

01:42of inflation? Was it because of interest rates? Was it because of immigration? Was it because we were

01:46too, quote unquote, woke? Was it because of issues with Israel? Was it all of the above?

01:52So Dana, we're 100 point days in, still struggling the Democratic Party. Why?

01:58I know. And every day I say, I always look for something to compliment. I'll look for a green

02:02shoot to say, oh, that's interesting. That's different. And it's May. This has been since

02:07last November when they lost. And still, I think partly because they have been running against

02:13President Trump for 10 years. And as you can see, and they do know that their party leadership

02:19is so geriatric. I don't mean to say that in a negative way, but they are older people,

02:26much older. And then you have this contrast with the younger people and their policy ideas

02:30don't align. So all they're doing is chasing after these small dollar donations and these

02:35little hits that they can try to get for the ex-posts or some sort of like something online

02:40so that they can make a little bit of money. And then their opposition is ready, fire, aim.

02:45So they're just doing everything. So for example, you just showed Gavin Newsom. He's supposedly a busy

02:51guy, right? He's governor. He's got a pocket. He's got to do all these things. He wants to be a party

02:54leader. Why is he doing the BBC? Like if you have this kind of time and you want to be in touch with

02:59the people, I don't think that's necessarily going to work. Now, Trump's numbers have come down a

03:04little bit. But what's interesting is that that hasn't meant that the Democrats have come up.

03:08But they've fallen even further. So people are just mad at everyone. They don't like what is

03:13happening. I know that there are people who love what Trump's doing and there are people who hate

03:16what he's doing. What's happening is that the opposition to Trump is getting more and more

03:20agitated, right? They tend to amp up. They get so mad at him and they can't figure out why he's

03:25successful. And they tend to turn that into hate rather than to try to figure out, OK, here's some

03:31positive things that we can say that we could do and move forward. And I don't know when that will be

03:35that they'll get it together. Maybe they should buy your book. Maybe they should still on sale

03:40where books are sold. Judge Shanine, a lot of nasal, naval, a lot of naval gazing going on. Usually when

03:48you're stuck in a rut, you got to just take action. Stop thinking, just act. Yeah, but the Democrats

03:54can act because there's nothing about them that's authentic. And that's the problem. I mean,

03:59they're fighting to be cool. And the truth is, if it's natural, that's great. But they're not natural.

04:05Everything is scripted. Everything is OK. They got the memo today. Today we're going to sing. We're

04:10going to dance. We're going to curse. And, you know, or we're going to pick your fighter. And the

04:16problem is it's more damning of the Democrat Party that if, you know, Trump's numbers, let's say,

04:23they're going down, the Democrats' numbers are not going up because Americans don't consider them a

04:28viable option. I mean, I don't know that it's just that they're mad at everybody as that, like,

04:33the Democrats have never shown that they care about Americans. They're more concerned about

04:38Abrego Garcia. They're more concerned about the illegals. They're more concerned about men and

04:43women's warts. They're more concerned about open borders, cashless bail, and making sure that,

04:48you know, they've got all these DEI policies. And the shame of it is it's such a missed opportunity

04:54for them that, you know, the voters went for Trump because the Democrats didn't offer them anything.

05:00They offered them nothing that they could latch on to. And by the way, millennials are not obsessed

05:06or focused on DEI or all of this, like, threats to democracy. They're focused on buying a house.

05:14This is the first generation where our children are not going to be as successful or as wealthy

05:20as we are. And that really is an opportunity that is so missed. And at the end of the day,

05:27whether or not Donald Trump's numbers are going down, 92 percent of the voters who voted for Trump

05:34are still satisfied with their vote because he's doing what he said he would do. And, you know,

05:40Schumer and Pelosi can get out there. Pelosi says, well, they haven't done anything.

05:44Well, has anybody talked about the fact that the price of eggs have gone down?

05:48No, it's just when they were high, they couldn't stop complaining about it.

05:51But now that they're low, they're not going to give Trump credit for that. Of course not.

05:56Well, I'd like to disagree with Judge Jeanine on one point, Jessica. I think your children will

06:00be more successful than you. I'm really struggling with that one because obviously it's insulting,

06:07but I do want my kids to do better than me. So let's pull that one. Yeah. Nice backhanded compliment.

06:17Yeah. What I think the problem is, is that about 75 percent of voters went to the ballot box in

06:23November and wanted major change to the system. And Donald Trump was the change agent. And Democrats

06:29haven't yet proven that they're going to be demonstrably different from the campaign that was

06:33run. They don't have a new set of policies that they rolled out to say, this is how we're speaking

06:37to working class Americans, or this is how we have heard your voices. And we've decided to change

06:42course on how we deal with identity politics issues, et cetera. And I think that that's going to take some

06:47time. And I'm not overly concerned with it in terms of getting the approval ratings up or people

06:53having more faith in them. I do think that the showdown over the reconciliation bill

06:57is going to be a major positive point for the Democratic Party. And the Republicans are out

07:03there saying, we're not cutting Medicaid. We're not cutting Medicaid. But when you ask the Energy

07:08and Commerce Committee to cut $880 billion, there is no way to do that without going through the

07:12Medicaid problem. And that is why David Valadejo in California just today, Bernie Moreno, the senator

07:18from Ohio, you have Josh Hawley, Susan Collins are all saying that they can't support this bill the way

07:23that it's constructed because you have Medicaid cuts. There were 37 patient groups, American Cancer

07:29Society, Leukemia Society, Diabetes Society, who come out against the bill as well, saying that this is

07:35going to end up forcing patients and families out of the program. In 2017, Democrats were able to get

07:42it together, I'll allow your book, because the Republicans out of the gate went after Obamacare.

07:47People do not stand for you coming for their health care. And if Republicans carry down on this path

07:53and they go with the reconciliation bill as it is, the big, beautiful bill, the midterms should,

07:59and historical precedent would indicate this, go very well for the Democrats. Does that mean that

08:032028 is ours? Absolutely not. But it does mean that we'll have a very good showing.
