          product_id,
      insertDTS    
          )
       SELECT 
        lead_id,
        phone_number,
        title, 
        first_name, 
           middle_initial,

           address1, 
           address2, 
           address3, 
           city, 
           state, 
         postal_code, 
         gender, 
         date_of_birth, 
         alt_phone, 
         email,
         comments, 
         question_id, 
         answer_ques,
          situation_id, 
          best_time_contact, 
          specific_datetime, 
          specific_datetime_at, 
          leadcreated_by, 
          leadcreated_by_on,
           leadcreated_by_at, 
          transfer_by, 
          product_id,
      insertDTS    

FROM TABLE2
WHERE TABLE2.status = 'LEAD'

This will work..no need for values

As per my knowledge of mySql, you can not use VALUES and SELECT in the same insert statement. Try removing VALUES from the statement.
MySQL documentation shows the separate syntax for insert…values, insert…set and insert…select statements.
