JENNINGS: “Republicans absolutely voted for this, number one.
PALMERI: “Okay, people do not want government waste, that‘s for sure, but they didn‘t vote for — “
JENNINGS: “Yeah, they did.”
PALMERI: “ — forest service to get fired.
JENNINGS: “Look — “
PALMERI: “They didn‘t vote for the parks to be closed — “
JENNINGS: “Look, you guys — “
PALMERI: “ — veterans to be fired.”
JENNINGS: “You guys keep trying to create this fantasy land where Donald Trump is not popular or Republicans are mad. Can you — “
Johnson: “Republicans are mad. They shut down the town halls.”
JENNINGS: “Can you can you name a single Democrat in Congress who is more popular than Donald Trump right now? Answer: No. The reality is, Republicans are so happy with this, they‘re not upset about it.”
Johnson: “No, they are.”
JENNINGS: “The American people are happy about what‘s going on right now because for the first time in a long time, a president said, ‘I‘m actually going to reduce the size of the government.”
PHILLIP: “Scott, I know you like numbers and you like polls. So, let‘s put the poll up. The question is, ‘Has Trump had the right priorities since he‘s been in office?’ 52% say no and just 40% say yes. So — “
JENNINGS: “His job approval is roughly 50%. Congressional Democrats, 21%.”
PHILLIP: “Okay. He is underwater. And yes, he‘s — “
JENNINGS: “According to us, but not according to the averages.”
PHILLIP: “He’s more popular than the Democrats, but if you‘re claiming that everything that he‘s doing is popular, it‘s actually very clear in the polling that specifically the DOGE stuff is not popular.”
JENNINGS: “I don’t think that’s clear-cut. I don’t agree.”
