Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Today we look at a presidency that is unraveling in real time.
Chapter 2: What do recent polls reveal about Trump's approval ratings?
We have new polling that shows Americans are rejecting almost everything that the Trump administration is doing across the board with majority saying that the country is on the wrong track, out of control, and that Trump himself is dangerous. It's not just polling. We also saw markets plunge yesterday as Trump ranted and threatened allies and picked new fights.
including a now unhinged obsession with Iceland. Sorry, Greenland. That's the mistake Trump made during his speech in Davos today, calling it Iceland instead of Greenland. He doesn't even know what country he's trying to steal.
Chapter 3: How did Trump's actions impact the stock market?
And then there is the rambling and the confusion and the bizarre answers to basic questions. And it's gotten so bad that there is now a former Trump press secretary saying that he needs a psychiatric evaluation. We will speak to Maryland Governor Wes Moore and see how he has been and is preparing to deal with ice and other Trump based calamities.
And we will also talk about the consequences of this administration piling up, including what that means for our relationships with large swaths of the world. What a show.
Chapter 4: What concerns were raised during Trump's press conference?
I suggest we record this one. We start today with a presidency reaching new lows. Americans have been polled specifically on the issues, on the specific policy changes and ideas that this administration has put forward. And it is a poll that shows a presidency collapsing, Trump failing on everything. and Americans rejecting every major area of focus for this administration.
We are going to look at the polling. This is an economist you gov poll, and it is extraordinarily disturbing to look at what is going on. We start with a relatively simple question. You would think, is the country going in the right direction or in the wrong direction? Sixty one percent. of the country believes the country is on the wrong track under Donald Trump.
And then on the question of whether the country is currently under control, 71 percent say the country is out of control. Now, that one, you know, this is one of those things where Is it out of control because Trump's out of control or is it out of control? And Trump is trying to get it under control. Why you believe the country is out of control is of an important detail.
And we're going to delve into that specific issue more either tomorrow or on the Friday show on the question of sending federal troops to Minneapolis. Only 37 percent of Americans support that as a matter of policy and asked more questions about ice and the entire operation. Forty seven percent of the country approves of protests against ice.
Now, I've got to tell you, that's concerning because we are talking about constitutionally protected. First Amendment. I mean, it's just it is protesting. It is using your voice. It is a form of speech and not even half the country supports that. That is kind of a problem, I have to tell you.

Chapter 5: What insights does Maryland Governor Wes Moore share about Trump's governance?
Now, when you clarify and say, should peaceful protests against ICE be allowed, which is a more specific question, not do you support the message of the protesters, but should it be allowed? Fortunately, Seventy seven percent of Americans say, yes, we believe that you should be allowed to protest against ICE.
What's crazy is the other 23 percent, 12 of whom say no protest shouldn't even be allowed. And 11 percent who aren't sure there's this little thing called the First Amendment. which says the protests are allowed, period. So a little bit of a concern when it comes to speech.
More questions in the poll about the situation in Minneapolis asked, did Renee Goode, the 37 year old woman who was shot dead by ice, did she threaten ICE agents? Only 29 percent of Americans believe that she was a threat to ICE agents and then asked whether the shooting was justified.
Only 29 percent believe that the ice shooting of Renee Goode was justified on the question of whether you can believe the economic data being reported by this administration. How much do you trust the data? Fifty six percent of Americans distrust the economic data. Ten percent don't know.
And right now, when this administration puts out a piece of economic data, only a third of Americans trust it. In other words, two thirds of Americans either know or suspect that the economic data being put out by the Trump administration is, quite frankly, bullshit.

Chapter 6: What warning did Stephanie Grisham give regarding Trump's mental state?
On the question of Venezuela, we started asking when Trump kidnapped Maduro, who supports this? Does anyone support invading Venezuela? Does anyone support the US running Venezuela? Does anyone support any of this stuff? And the answer is mostly no.
Chapter 7: How does Erick Erickson view Trump's foreign policy regarding Greenland?
Only 31 percent support invading Venezuela. Only 35 percent believe that Trump's intervention, meaning the kidnap of Maduro, was justified. And only 17 percent believe that the United States should run Venezuela. No one wants this. People want affordable health care. People want affordable food, housing, safe communities, education. They want Trump running Venezuela. No, they don't.
Chapter 8: What cognitive concerns have been raised about Trump by former aides?
On the issue of Greenland. Only nine percent of Americans support taking Greenland by force. That I believe that Trump is going to have to get away from this Greenland stuff. We'll look at his statements today in Davos, where he confused Iceland and Greenland. But this is not something that Americans want at all.
And I believe he's going to have to give up on it on the issue of Trump's signature policy areas. It also doesn't look much better. Trump ran on I will fix crime. Crime is going to be like the thing for me. Only 42 percent of Americans after a year of Trump back in office approve of Trump's job on crime. This was like the issue in addition to immigration.
Speaking of immigration, only 43 percent of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing on immigration. This was his big thing that he was going to solve. And then on inflation and prices, a key issue and also one of the most important issues to voters Barely a third, 34 percent of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing on inflation and prices.
Finally, on attributes and characteristics, only 32 percent of Americans believe Trump to be honest and trustworthy, and 53 percent of the country, a majority believe believes that Donald Trump is straight up dangerous. What does this mean? Number one, buyer's remorse. First and foremost, a lot of people who voted for Trump no longer are happy with that vote.
Trump's Latino support has been almost cut in half based on where it was and where it is now. And then the context is a rapidly approaching election. I can't believe like primaries are starting already and we're just months away from these midterms. We have midterms where on average you would expect Republicans to lose over 20 seats, which would hand control of the House to Democrats.
But with approval ratings this low. And with this share of the country displeased with the job Trump is doing, we could be looking at, as I recently said on CNN, a 40 seat swing, a 50 seat swing or even a 60 seat swing if we can make it happen.
A disastrous day for the stock market yesterday because of one guy, Donald Trump, the S&P 500 down over two percent, the Dow down nearly nine hundred points and the Nasdaq or as Trump calls it, the Nasdaq down almost two and a half points. Why? Well, there's a whole bunch of reasons, sort of funny optics.
Here is CNN displaying the stock market rapidly collapsing as Trump is bragging about the stock market.
Actually, officially 12 months as of today, 52 all time record highs. That means 401ks did great. I have people see me all the time, policemen that guard us really well and
