This weekend was interesting because at the same time that these no kings rallies, protest marches were taking place, CPAC was taking place and it was a sort of a different CPAC than we've seen before.

There was this surreal moment where Matt Schlapp said, you guys don't want impeachment, do you?

And the crowd was like, yes, we do want impeachment hearings.

And it was this very strange moment where, you know, you combine that with some of the interviews with people at the conference.

they're not very happy with Donald Trump.

You know, they fell for the I'm the antiwar guy.

And now we're in this situation in Iran and some of I don't want to pretend that the base is abandoning him.

But there is questioning, at least of what people have signed up for.

So I think that's interesting.

But on the Democratic side,

There is arguably some fracture as well.

And I see it in some of the following ways.

One, we already have a contingent of the left that's saying if the candidate is X in twenty eight, I will never even consider voting for that person.

I was recently with Gavin Newsom and we talked about how that some of that is directed at him and a number of others.

Another example, maybe of the fracture on the left.

And then I want to get your your thoughts on it are.

the folks who are now sort of like a pack is the issue thing.

And it's not just all money in politics.

It's specifically a pack.

And then there's others who say, well, money in politics is the problem.
