♪♪ >> Jesse: DEMOCRATS ARE WETTING THEIR PANTS OVER THE MID-TERMS. HOT MIC JUST CAUGHT CHUCK SCHUMER ADMITTING THINGS ARE GOING DOWNHILL. THEY HAVE THEMSELVES TO BLAME IF THEY LOSE BIG AND GERALDO WILL HAVE TO FORK OVER $1,000. MY DAD DIDN'T THINK IT WAS CLASSY -- >> Geraldo: THE WINNER WOULD DONATE -- >> Jesse: WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT LATER. POLITCO IS HIGHLIGHTING THE GROWING PANIC. DEMOCRATS DEBATE THEMSELVES. WHY DO WE SUCK? I ASKED MYSELF THAT QUESTION SOMETIMES. THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. FORMER TOP SPIN ARTIST JEN PSAKI HAS MORE. >> PEOPLE ARE WORRIED ABOUT THESE RACES. THERE'S ENCOURAGING SIGNS LIKE RECORDERLY VOTING. NUMBERS THE HOUSE RACES ARE NOT WHERE THEY SHOULD BE. IT'S A REFLECTION OF THE FACT THAT DEMOCRATS ARE KIND OF WORRIED ABOUT WHERE THIS IS GOING RIGHT NOW. IT'S FELT WORSE OVER THE LAST WEEK OR SO. >> Jesse: IT'S NO WONDER THE DEMOCRATS ARE BANKING ON BARACK OBAMA TO BAIL THEM OUT. HE'S IN BATTLEGROUND, GEORGIA. JOE BIDEN IS NOW STRAIGHT UP LYING ABOUT GAS PRICES. >> WE'RE DOWN $1.25 FROM THIS SUMMER AND THEY'VE BEEN FALLING THE LAST THREE WEEKS AS WELL. THAT ENDS UP FOR SAVINGS FOR FAMILIES. TODAY THE MOST COMMON PRICE OF GAS IN AMERICA IS $3.39. DOWN FROM OVER $5 WHEN I TOOK OFFICE. >> Jesse: GERALDO, ARE YOU HAVING REGRETS ABOUT OUR BIG BET? >> Geraldo: WHAT I WAS THINKING, WHAT IF GEORGIA DOES THE SAME THING IT DID LAST TIME AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHO WON BECAUSE NOBODY GETS 50%? THEN IT'S ANOTHER MONTH? IMAGINE THIS AGONY BEING PROLONGED AS IN GEORGIA'S SPECIAL ELECTION -- >> Jesse: REPUBLICANS MIGHT NOT NEED GEORGIA AT THIS POINT. >> Geraldo: I STILL BELIEVE OBVIOUSLY THAT THE REPUBLICANS WILL PREVAIL IN THE HOUSE. WE'LL HAVE DIVIDED GOVERNMENT. I BELIEVE THAT'S WHY THE DOW IS MARCHING ON. BECAUSE WHAT INVESTORS LIKE DIVIDED GOVERNMENT BECAUSE DIVIDED GOVERNMENT CAN'T SPEND MONEY THE WAY THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION DID ON 26 VOTES. >> Jesse: KENNEDY, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE MID-TERMS? >> Kennedy: GERALDO IS RIGHT ABOUT THAT. IT'S VERY INTERESTING WATCHING THIS MOMENTUM SHIFT SO QUICKLY SO CLOSE TO THE MID-TERMS. BECAUSE EVEN A WEEK OR TWO WEEKS AGO, DEMOCRATS WERE INCREDIBLY CONFIDENT ABOUT THE MOMENTUM THAT THEY HAD DEVELOPED FROM AUGUST ONWARD. AND YOU KNOW, THE PRESIDENT CAN LIE ABOUT GAS PRICES. HE CAN SAY, WELL, INFLATION ISN'T THE WORST IT'S EVER BEEN SO IT'S NOT BAD. PEOPLE KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE. PEOPLE KNOW THEY'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR GAS, PAYING TOO MUCH FOR EGGS AND MILK AND BREAD AND GROUND BEEF AND EVERYTHING ELSE. THEY DON'T LIKE BEING LIED TO. SO THEIR THINKING IS, THIS IS YOUR SYSTEM AND YOU'RE CAUSING ME PAIN. I WANT TO BE OUT OF PAIN. BIDEN IS SAYING REPUBLICANS WILL RUIN THE ECONOMY BUT HE'S NOT SAYING HOW. HE'S NOT SAYING WHAT IMPLICIT LIT ABOUT REPUBLICANISM THAT WILL DESTROY THE ECONOMY? SO I THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GAMBLE AND DO WHATEVER THEY CAN TO GET OUT OF PAIN. >> Jesse: MARTHA, WHEN HE SAID HE CAME IN AND GAS WAS $5 A GALLON, YOU THINK HE'S STRAIGHT UP LYING OR HE DOESN'T REMEMBER? >> Martha: I DON'T KNOW. IT'S NOT TRUE. IT'S NOT TRUE. THIS IS NOT OPINION. THIS IS FACT. YOU CAN EASILY LOOK IT UP WHERE GAS PRICES WERE, 3 SOMETHING AND WENT TO $5 OR SIX IN SOME PLACES IN CALIFORNIA, CLOSE TO SEVEN. THE OTHER THING IS, INFLATION THAT HE TALKED ABOUT INHERITING WAS AT 1.4%. NOW IT'S 8.2%. IT'S VERY EASY TO PULL UP THIS CHART AND LOOK AT IT. WE'RE IN FAR WORSE SHAPE IN THE ECONOMY THAN WE WERE WHEN THE PRESIDENT TOOK OFFICE. THAT'S NOT MY OPINION. THAT'S LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS. A RECESSION IS TWO NEGATIVE PERIODS OF GROWTH. WE HAD THIS. THEN WE HAD A REDEFINITION OF WHAT A RECESSION IS. IT KIND OF WORKED. PEOPLE ARE STILL SAYING, LET'S SEE IF WE'RE GOING TO BE IN A RECESSION. WE'VE HEARD FROM EVERY LEADER ON WALL STREET PRETTY MUCH THAT 2023 LOOKS VERY ROUGH. THE GDP NUMBER WAS OKAY. IT WASN'T GREAT WHEN YOU PEEL AWAY THE TOP LINE NUMBER. HE CAN -- ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE PRESIDENT IS HE HASN'T MET PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE AND WHERE THEY'RE LIVING. LIKE KENNEDY IS SAYING. YOU CAN'T JUST KEEP TELLING PEOPLE THINGS ARE ROSY AND FINE. PEOPLE GO WAIT, HOLD ON. IT'S NOT. SPEAK TO ME LIKE I'M AN ADULT AND I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. I MIGHT WANT TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER CHANCE. BUT YOU CAN'T TELL PEOPLE THAT THEY'RE NOT EXPERIENCING WHAT THEY'RE EXPERIENCING. >> Jesse: I'M ALMOST CURIOUS WHAT BARACK OBAMA WILL SAY WHEN HE GOES TO THESE SAME STATES. HE'S GOT TO SAY SOMETHING DIFFERENCE THAN WHAT JOE BIDEN IS SAYING. >> Tyrus: HE'S GOING TO SAY HEY, WE HAVE TO STOP ACT AGO FOOL AND STOP LISTENING. BUT OBAMA COULDN'T SAVE HIM. IF HE WAS RUNNING HIMSELF. NUMBER 1, LET'S BREAK IT DOWN. YOU DON'T BRAG ABOUT HOW YOU LOVE GASOLINE CARS AND YOU DON'T LIKE CARS AND TELL US ALL WE NEED -- OUR PRESIDENT IS SO OUT OF TOUCH. IF YOU CAN'T REMEMBER THE PRICE OF GAS WHEN YOU'RE DOING A SPEECH ABOUT THE PRICE OF GAS, YOU ARE UNFIT FOR OFFICE, PERIOD. POINT BLANK. IF I CAME ON HERE AND MY SUBJECT WAS CRIME AND I STARTED TO TALKING ABOUT MY SCORE ON X BOX, THERE WOULD BE STUFF GOING ON DURING THE COMMERCIAL. I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE. FINALLY, WASN'T NO HOT MIC MOMENT. SCHUMER POSITIONED IT JUST RIGHT SO YOU GOT HIS GOOD SIDE AND YOU COULDN'T SEE BIDEN'S FACIAL EXPRESSION OF HUH? HE JUST LEANED IN AND SAID -- EVEN WHEN HE SAID IS OH, IT DIDN'T HURT THAT BAD. WE'RE STILL GOING TO BE GOOD. EVERYBODY STICKS TOGETHER. IF EVERYBODY VOTES THE PARTY LINE, WE'LL BE FINE. OH, HOT MIC. DID I SAY THAT? HOT MIC MOMENT. I KNOW A LITTLE SOMETHING ABOUT SIMULATED COMBAT AND MESSING WITH AN INTERVIEW TO LOOK SERIOUS, THIS IS NOT RESTLING. THIS IS OUR LIVES AND IT'S JUST A SHAM. HOPEFULLY THE VOTERS ARE SEEING IT'S A
