What are the latest calls for Trump's impeachment?
Donald Trump is panicking as even people from his own cult are calling for his impeachment. That's right, at a CPAC convention, the head of CPAC, Schlapp, tried to hype up the CPAC crowd and said, who here wants to see Donald Trump get impeached? And then the crowd started clapping for Trump's impeachment at the CPAC event. Here, watch this clip.
How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings? No. That was the wrong answer. Let me try it again. How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings? No. Can someone bring some coffee out for the...
Okay, well, that either demonstrates that they want to have him impeached or the type of voter who flocks to Donald Trump. But at that same CPAC event, you had Todd Blanch, Donald Trump's deputy AG, panicking over the fact that if Democrats take control of the House and Democrats take control of the executive branch in 2028 that Blanche and all of Trump's cabinet are likely going to be prosecuted. Here's what he says.
How is Trump's presidency affecting his approval ratings?
Let's play it.
Everybody's afraid that the next administration, if we don't win, we're going to all be investigated and indicted. Think about that. This is not a third world country. This is America. And the existing administration is afraid that they're going to get indicted. And why are they afraid? Because that's exactly what happened during the last administration. All of President Trump's cabinet, everybody that worked in the White House, his secret service detail...
had to go to the grand jury. And meanwhile, Pam Bondi is trying to raise her hand up and say, look, I'm exhibit A, everybody. As earlier on Friday morning, while the markets were also tanking, she said, you know, being a citizen in our country, it's not a right. It is an absolute privilege to be a citizen. And Donald Trump's going to pick who he wants to be as a citizen because it's Donald Trump's determination of if you have the privilege to be one. Here, let's watch what she says.
What are the implications of the ongoing war in Iran?
Play this clip.
about their marriage to get in this country. You can't do that. Being a citizen in our country is a privilege. It's not a right. And Donald Trump is going to have everyone in this country who deserves to be here who's a citizen. And yeah, sure, it could be faster. It could be easier. But I think we're moving at lightning speed, given what we're up against.
the old dominion meanwhile donald trump's approval is absolutely tanking on the economy it's net negative like 33 the lowest in presidential history at this time on cost of living net negative 41 his overall approval is 36 and it's just continues to crash each week amongst white non-college male voters. He's at a net negative 4% right there, when just this past December 2025, he was a plus 10. So it's all a crashing down for Donald, who is also curious about the 25th Amendment being invoked against him as well. Let's play this clip.
But I wouldn't talk.
What challenges does California face in the upcoming governor's race?
It's like the question this young lady asked. Sorry about it. Embarrassed. I don't want to embarrass you because I think you're off. I think she's a friendly reporter. So I'm sorry. But, you know, I can't say what we're going to do, because if I did, I wouldn't be sitting here for long. They probably what is it called? The 25th Amendment.
i want to bring in democratic congress member eric swalwell who's also running for governor the great state of california the state that i call home congress member swallow it's great to see you as always i want to get into what's going on in california what's going on with the airports in california we'll get there but i want to first just have you react to just this historical moment that we're in as this disastrous war rages on in Iran, as Americans can't afford things at home, and as we see a deranged Donald Trump do his encore, I guess to COVID, doing the exact same shtick as we head into Easter, but about this disastrous war in Iran as our economy implodes and as we lose lives overseas.
I saw your CPAC clip intro. Sounds like there's a lot of conservatives who want the president to be impeached. And I bet they're pretty pissed that this guy promised he'd lower costs on day one, and instead he's done the exact opposite with this stupid tariff tax that has raised the cost of almost everything that we bought.
