Chapter 2: What updates are there on the political situation in Iran?
We got the whole weekend in New Jersey coming up the weekend after that. So come on out to the dojo of comedy, comicdavesmith.com for all those ticket links. And of course, my amazing wife's children's book is now available in paperback, Healthy Hibernation. You can go get it over at Amazon. And a bunch of people have been getting it and we've been getting such positive feedback.
It's been very, very nice. So thank you to everybody who's purchased a copy. All right. So... Let's get into some stuff today, Rob. It's been, you know, I almost feel... It's almost like a bit of a moment, I've felt like for the last couple days, where you're almost like, it's like we've just been in a deep sea of Epstein files.
I kind of feel like I'm coming up to the surface and just taking a breath and almost looking around and going, oh, okay, well, where does this, where is everything now reorganized or reshuffled in the political landscape? I did see, I was reading a bit about this earlier today, but I saw
there's been a few new polls that have come out that have record low approval ratings for Donald Trump, which is shocking.
Chapter 3: How are Trump defenders reacting to recent polling data?
I thought we were in the best economy ever.
Yes, we're in the golden age of winning or something. Here, let's start out with the clip from the very reliable news network CNN, who we always side with.
Some bad news in the polling for President Trump. His approval rating hitting new lows. CNN's Harry Anton is running the numbers on this one for us. Hello, Harry. Hello, Kate. Where does the president stand? Happy Washington's birthday observed today. That's what it is in the state of New York. I'm a New Yorker through and through. Let's take a look at another president, though.
President Donald John Trump. Look at this.
Chapter 4: What insights do recent polls provide about Trump's approval ratings?
I got four numbers across. for you on this screen here they are all second term lows for the given poster what are we talking about ap nor 26 points below water mbc 22 points below water yahoo yougov 20 points below order quinnipiac 19 points below water so we're ranging from negative 19 points all the way to negative 26 points you know kate there's this question that folks keep asking you know
where is the floor for donald trump and i'm not sure there is a floor because if there is one donald trump at least in term number two has just fallen through it to another low level how does this compare this first term and how does this compare with joe biden okay so we look at these numbers right here one of the things that donald trump had been arguing his proponents have been arguing oh you know what he's doing better than he was doing in term number one no longer is that the case what are we talking about here okay net approval rating at this point in term look at this
22 points below order on average when you average all the pollsters from the last slide. That is actually lower. That is lower than he was at this point in term number one when it was 17 points below order. So he's doing five points worse, five points worse. And he's doing way worse than Joe Biden was doing at this point in his term number one when he was 13 points below order.
So the bottom line is this. Donald Trump is setting new records for himself in term number two, setting new records for himself compared to where he was at this point in term number one. And he's doing worse than Joe Biden, which is, of course, the comparison that Donald Trump does not want to be because we all know what happened to Joe Biden.
His party lost the House in term number one, that midterm elections. And then, of course, Joe Biden was not reelected to another term. At this point, the numbers are no bueno for the president of the United States.

Chapter 5: What challenges are the Democrats facing in their leadership?
All right. I'm sorry. I got to say something. Sure. I hate that guy. And he sounds like Marco Robio doing a Donald Trump impersonation. And I've never heard the word more water underwater more times. And while I guess the reporting is, you know, fake news. And so there's really no reason to see what CNN has to say about poll numbers. It's not a bad breakdown, but my God, did that guy annoy me?
Oh, yeah. No, he's brutal. He's really got just the type of, like, awful gay energy that you don't want at a party with you.
Is that what I was picking up with with the Marco Rubio flavor?
I don't know.
Chapter 6: How is AOC's recent performance impacting her political image?
I mean, one way or the other. He's gay either literally or figuratively. Well, look, I mean, as I kind of always preface with this stuff, first of all, I never put too much stock in any of these polls. I do put more stock in the trend lines from the polls. You know what I mean? Like if the same poll jumps up 15 points or down 15 points, that kind of indicates that something's going on there.
And look, I also should say, I think one of the silver linings about where the United States of America is at politically is that presidents are just disliked now. Now, this is very different from when I was a kid. You would see those numbers in the positive. Now it's just a matter of how negative your approval rating is.
It's almost always a minority of the country who supports the current president. But that being said, if you remember, Rob, we did a year ago play a few clips of these same two people at that same monitor talking about how Donald Trump had record high approval ratings.
And there's really no question that in the last year, Donald Trump's approval ratings have been crashing, and it's largely a reflection of his failure as president. I mean, I just think that's kind of obvious. All right, guys, let's take a moment and thank our sponsor for today's show, which is The Wellness Company.
Chapter 7: What are the implications of the Democrats' approach to immigration policies?

Chapter 8: What potential candidates could emerge for the Democrats in the next election?
And I think we abolished the income tax. Remember? Remember when that was a plan? We were going to abolish the income tax because the tariffs were so good? Anyway, so one of the things that's been kind of interesting over really just the last couple of days ā I've been seeing there's been several viral moments amongst kind of leading Democratic figures.
And, you know, it's like there's something interesting. OK, Donald Trump is obviously tanking and his administration is a catastrophe and he's losing support as he should. But then you turn around and you look at the state of the Democrats and it really is still such a mess. Like it kind of can't be overstated how much this is like, they really just do not have their shit together.
It's still, there's still no leader has emerged. The leaders that they have are so enormously flawed. And there is this real question where like, you know,
look i mean i think there's no question that the republicans at least at this point at this rate are going to get creamed in the midterm elections but when you start looking beyond that to like okay then what what is done with that it is still we're in a position where it's very hard to see who kind of takes over as the leader of this party um and so what is the alternative here anyway i mean like you know we're still in the same position where we got you got gavin newsom
who's somewhat slick as a politician, but has this albatross around his neck of being the governor of California. It's going to be very, very difficult to have that track record and do it, you know, win a campaign. And then you have AOC who's Rob, what can you say about her?
Well, and I've said numerous times, she's too stupid to run. And I think later in the episode, we're going to have some clips that showcase that.
Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, we could do that now if you want to. There's a couple AOC clips that have been going viral from the last few days. And it is, you do kind of, look, she's not quite as bad as Kamala Harris, but she is really bad at this. She's really that really is the problem with AOC. She's almost the thing about AOC is that it's like I think progressives like the idea of her.
And in many sense, I guess some progressives like the idea of Kamala Harris, the idea of the first, you know, black female president or something like that. But it's going to be really hard to actually defend what she says here. Let's go ahead.
I think AOC is fine when she's kind of in the lane of talking social justice type issues or, hey, we got to do more for the poor. But the second you want to have a more substantial conversation, you can see that her knowledge and acumen or ability to express a point of view is pretty thin.
