Jon Stewart asks why Democratic leaders think they need better messaging rather than better policies. House Leader Hakeem Jeffries replies their solution is "making the American people feel that we understand the pain that they've been in" — the exact thing Stewart was criticizing! JON STEWART: Where is the... Democrats' Project 2025? The New DNC Chair kept saying it's a messaging issue, as though everything is going right, you just don't realize it yet. As opposed to, we've gotten away from New Deal values. HAKEEM JEFFRIES: Maya Angelou said it best — people won't remember what you say, they may not even remember what you do, but they will always remember how you make them feel. And I think what we have to do a better job of is making the American people feel that we understand the pain."show more

So there’s not even a concept of a plan

"The Democratic Party's actions had left many U.S. citizens feeling humiliated. Signs of a Trump victory were proclaimed well before Biden withdrew from the race. The voters had had enough." 📝 @KarinaLMariani

Guess what makes people feel good Hakeem?? Not being hungry and broke.

Whenever facing criticism, just throw out a Dr. King or Maya Angelo quote to try to make yourself sound intelligent, while covering up for your complete lack of ability.

Democrats should stop talking with quotes and highbrow language, and start communicating their stuff in plain terms. That is one of the most successful strategies of Republicans.

Jefferies is too soft to lead right now. It's the wrong time for him. He's an amazing, wonderful man, and his time will come, but he needs to toughen up first.

We need a third party

So he doesn’t care about changing issues. He just cares that we feel they care despite them doing nothing. We won’t feel they care until they actually make the changes.

Hakeem Jeffries says Zohran Mamdani is not the future of the Democratic Party. JAKE TAPPER: Do you see Mamdani as the future of the Democratic Party? JEFFRIES: No. I think the future of the Democratic Party is going to fall, as far as we're concerned, relative to the House Democratic caucus and members who are doing a great work all across the country as it relates to our need to both take back control of the House, but in doing so, make sure that we're communicating to the American people, like, we understand you deserve better than the country that you have received.

Sellers: What I haven't understood is how you go to war and you don't anticipate that they're going to close the strait of hormuz. Ungar-Sargon: Why do you think they didn’t anticipate it? Of course, they knew they were going to close it. Sellers: Because you just said we you just said we needed refunds. I mean, I don't understand how you can articulate one thing that says that the pain of the American people is unbearable, that Republicans are now touting for refund checks.

Baier: I just got off the phone with the president…. I asked, “what you are saying is you know there is somebody on the ground in Iran that is going to rise up?” He said, “yeah, I feel there is. I feel that and some of them are no longer with us to be honest because it was 49 leaders that were taken out. That was going to take four weeks we thought to get rid of the Iranian leadership and it is always, you know, if they hide, it is a lot longer than four weeks. They would have been hiding. We were shocked when we heard what was going on. We knew exactly what was happening… they are talking about using people now that nobody ever heard of—even they don't know. They are using people, studying people to be the leader that even they don't know who they are. Can you believe that?” I said it's a tough succession plan in Iran. He said, “49 leaders is deep. It's very deep. When they met, they met for breakfast. They assumed it was good for a lot of reasons. Number one they didn't think we knew. You never attack in the morning having to do with wind and sun and a lot of things. It was amazing that we knew everything we knew.”

As it always is, this Presidential election was once again about the economy. The majority of American people feel that they were better off four years ago than they are today. That is a big reason why President-Elect Trump won this election. As Democrats reevaluate their future, they need to do a better job of listening to the American people about their real concerns rather than pushing for too much change too quickly. That may be hard for some to hear, but it's a reality they will need to face if they want to win over the majority of the American people.

🚨 Marco Rubio DROPPED this line then walked away from the Fake News: "The people of Iran deserve better leadership. They slaughter their own people. By the thousands, they shoot them in the head, they slaughter them in the streets. Yeah, we don't like that!" "We don't think that's good for Iran. But our goal and our national interests in Iran is they can never have a nuclear weapon. And that's what they were going to try to do." "If they have been able to hide behind, double the number of missiles, double the number of drones. That's what they would have been in about a year, had they continued on the pace of construction." "Even though their economy was suffering, even though their people were suffering, that's what they were spending their money on." "Even though they had sanctions. The money that was coming in, they were spending it on those things. That tells you everything you need to know about them."

Q: How do we build a majority to win? Buttigieg: This is the most extraordinary thing. The majority is there on the issues and yet they make members of that majority feel like they're alone. You're not alone if you think that health care ought to be a right for every American. That’s not a minority position. That’s what most people think.

WATCH: Very newsy exchange at the White House Tuesday afternoon between President Trump and CBS’s Ed O'Keefe about Iran, revealing the U.S. was gifted “a present” from whatever remains of the new/old Iranian regime that is “oil and gas related”.... President Trump: “Do you have another question? You haven’t been here in a while.” O’Keefe: “Well, on Iran, can you give us any more sense of who exactly in Iran it is, either Witkoff or Kushner you’re speaking with?” Trump: “Yeah. We had — I hate to say this in front of these young people — they’re not children. I spoke to most of them. They sound like adults to me. Even though they are sort of children, right? They’ll always be your children. But I hate to say it, but we killed all their leadership. And then they met to choose new leaders, and we killed all of them. And now, we have a new group and we can easily do that. But let’s see how they turn out. It’s — we have, really, regime change. You know, this is a change in the regime because the leaders are all very different than the ones that we started off with that created all those problems. So this was — I think we can say, Jason, this is regime change, right?” O’Keefe: “What makes you trust them?” Trump: “I don’t trust anybody. I don’t trust you. I mean, that’s only because I know you, but if I didn’t know you, I’d probably have more trust. But I don’t trust anyone.” O’Keefe: “Why bother talking to them?” Trump: “Why do you — why do you say that? Why do you say what makes you — do you think I trust them? I don’t trust them.” O’Keefe: “Then why bother talking to them?” Trump: “Because they’re going to make a deal. They’re going to make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing. Actually. They gave us a present. And the president arrived today and it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. And I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize. And they gave it to us, and they said they were going to give it, so that meant one thing to me. We’re dealing with the right people —” O’Keefe: “Was it nuclear related.” Trump: “No, it wasn’t nuclear related. It was oil and gas related. And it was a very nice thing they did. But what it showed me is that we’re dealing with the right people because, you know, you don’t know because the leadership was killed, all gone. Khamenei, all gone. As the expression goes, the past Supreme Leader and then the new Supreme Leader was racked up at a minimum, racked up pretty good, and everyone else was gone. And then many of the people in the third tier are gone. But we’re dealing with a group of people that I think turn out and the — the present, the gift they made to us was very significant. And they said they were going to do it and it happened. And they’re the only ones that could have done it.”
