0:30Donald Trump's worst nightmare is here.
0:32The American people want him impeached and want him impeached now.
0:36Only 37 % of Americans say he should not be impeached.
0:41Overwhelmingly, Americans say he needs to be impeached now.
0:44At least 55 % of Americans strongly believe he should be impeached.
0:48There's a 66 % chance that he gets impeached as soon as Democrats take control
0:53of the House. And when you look at poll after poll, Donald Trump's approval is
0:58not only tanking, it's the worst in presidential history.
1:00I've reported on this before, but the latest AP Nork poll has Donald Trump's approval
1:05at 33%. It dropped nine points since February before he launched the Iran war.
1:11Officially the worst approval really since the time Nixon resigned.
1:16And Donald Trump's approval is worse amongst independents than when Nixon resigned.
1:20That's the AP Nork poll.
1:21But you take a look at the state regime media known as Fox poll and
1:25Donald Trump's approval there. Only 42 % on the issue of inflation.
1:29He's net negative 44 on government spending.
1:32He's net negative 34 on the economy.
1:34He's net negative 32 on the Iran war.
1:37Net negative 26 on the issue of foreign policy, net negative 20 on what's supposed
1:41to be his strongest issue, immigration.
1:44He's net negative eight. This is a total disaster.
1:47Now people are also pointing to Donald Trump's own words back in 2008 when Donald
1:53Trump said that George W.
1:55Bush needed to be impeached immediately for lying about the war the same way Donald
1:59Trump has lied about his catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran.
2:03Here, Donald Trump is, this is from 2008.
2:06Here's what he says here at Play This Clip.
2:08Wonderful thing. Impeaching him? Absolutely.
2:11For the war. For the war.
2:12Because of the conduct. Well, he lied.
2:14He got us into the war with lies.
2:17And I mean, look at the trouble Bill Clinton got into with something that was
2:24totally unimportant. And they tried to impeach him, which was nonsense.
2:28And yet Bush got us into this horrible war with lies by lying, by saying
2:33they had weapons of mass destruction by saying all sorts of things that turned out
2:38not to be true. Also, when you look at that latest Fox poll that I
2:41shared with you, 56 % of voters say that Donald Trump's administration is not even
2:47competent enough to run government.
2:49It can't even function competently.
2:51You know, what's notable too about some of these polls, one in five of Donald
2:55Trump's MAGA supporters want to see Donald Trump impeached.
2:59Can I repeat that again?
3:00One in five MAGA want Donald Trump impeached.
3:04And I think that number is going to continue to grow and grow as Donald
3:07Trump continues to attack MAGA.
3:10I mean, look what Megyn Kelly just said on her latest podcast about Donald Trump's
3:15behavior and his attacks on MAGA.
3:17Play this clip. There are aspects of his personality which are obviously not good and
3:22that we've mostly just chosen to overlook.
3:24You know, he's not a moral man.
3:26He's obviously not the greatest husband in the world.
3:29And he's extremely petty and thin -skinned, extremely petty and thin -skinned.
3:33And what we're seeing right now is he's turning on his most loyal supporters because
3:37they don't support this war and getting in bed with people who fucking hate him
3:43and have hated him from the beginning and were the original never -Trumpers as though
3:47that's what MAGA is. That's what his core support should look like.
3:51Meanwhile, there are many who are over here who have loved Trump for many, many
3:54years. We've had our skirmishes in the past.
3:56Tucker's had skirmishes with him.
3:58I have too. But who fought harder than a lot of others during the law
4:02fair against him to make sure people knew that it was bullshit.
4:05Stood up for him during the actual electoral contest to make sure people understood what
4:10was at stake and why he had to be the choice.
4:13Who he just, you know, there's no loyalty in return ever from Trump.
4:17Ever. If you have a principled disagreement with something he does, you're otherized.
4:21You're the enemy. Now, when you look at Donald Trump's behavior, generally, it's just lie
4:26after lie and just oddity after oddity.
4:29And it's making us so dangerous.
4:31I mean, you know, you have people running the counterterrorism within the Department of Homeland
4:35Security. People like Thomas Fugate, this 22 -year -old former Trump intern with zero national
4:42security experience. You thought it was bad enough that this guy was running national security
4:47and counterterrorism with Kash Patel at the head of the FBI.
4:50Well, now we learned about this Julie Vavaro, who was on this sugar daddy website.
4:57And she's one of the, she's the deputy counterterror, deputy counterterrorism official.
5:02You see her right here.
5:03She posted photos with sugar daddies like this.
5:06She's horny. And apparently she would go on these sugar daddy websites and like ask
5:11for 30 grand. or $40 ,000 a month from her sugar daddies.
5:14And the Daily Mail reported that the secret sugar daddy sex scandal is now rocking
5:19Trump's counterterrorism headquarters. She was just placed on leave, but whether you have Vavaro, whether
5:25you have Donald Trump, his labor secretary was just fired, Lori Chavez de Reamer, and
5:32the reports from the New York Post, which is a Murdoch rag, by the way,
5:35had her going to strip clubs and there was booze drinking in Vegas trips.
5:40And then her husband was accused of sexual misconduct and banned from the Department of
5:45Labor building. Yesterday, you had Donald Trump firing the Navy secretary, John Phelan.
5:51During a war, when there's a naval blockade in the Persian Gulf, Donald Trump fired
5:56John Phelan, his secretary of the Navy.
5:59And it got really weird because Hegseth was the one who did the firing, even
6:03though it has to come from Donald Trump.
6:05So John Phelan, this Navy secretary, went to the White House and was like, come
6:08on, are you really firing me, Donald?
6:10Are you really firing me, Donald?
6:11And Donald's like, you didn't build my battleships.
6:13I wanted the Trump battleships.
6:15You didn't build. Apparently, Donald Trump thinks you can build battleships like in six months.
6:19And Donald Trump doesn't like aircraft carriers or stealth ships.
6:23He wants Trump battleships that look like the types of clunky ships that existed during
6:28World War I. And that's what he wanted.
6:30And John Phelan wouldn't build those.
6:32So that's why Trump wanted him gone.
6:34Hegseth wanted him gone because he refused to just abide by everything that Hegseth was
6:38saying. So is there any wonder why the Trump regime, why the American people want
6:44these individuals, these vile individuals impeached, and why they're the least popular in presidential history?
6:50I mean, you take a look at just some of the other facts.
6:53The Trump regime is lying about Iran's naval capabilities and military capabilities.
6:57I mean, I'll show you this B -roll right here.
6:59You have Iran releasing video of them boarding two major cargo ships that they stopped
7:07at the Strait of Hormuz, showing they control the Strait of Hormuz, and they're going
7:11to board ships and block ships that come before Donald Trump launches unlawful and catastrophic
7:15war. Iran didn't control the Strait of Hormuz.
7:17Now they do control the Strait of Hormuz.
7:19So there's that. Also, Iran has massive quantities of its ballistic missiles, Shahid drones, FPV
7:25drones, unmanned vessel drones as well.
7:29CBS reports the Islamic Republic of Iran maintains more military capabilities than the White House
7:35or Pentagon has publicly admitted, according to multiple US officials with knowledge of the intelligence
7:41in this matter. And now our military is just leaking.
7:45All the top generals are leaking, leaking, leaking all this stuff about Donald Trump, how
7:49they want to keep him out of the situation room, how his erratic behavior is
7:52so disruptive to the ability to negotiate, how weak and pathetic Donald Trump is, how
7:57his erratic behavior makes it impossible to have any competent discussions with Iran because Iran's
8:04trying to get clarity. Like, what are you asking for?
8:06And you said you agreed to the 10 -point negotiating framework.
8:09Now you claim you aren't agreeing to the negotiating framework.
8:11One day you're going to obliterate the civilization if we don't meet the deadline.
8:15Then when Iran refuses to meet the fake deadlines that Donald Trump sets, Donald Trump
8:19unilaterally extends the deadlines. Now there's an indefinite extension of the ceasefire.
8:24Again, Trump sets these red lines.
8:26If you don't do it by this date, I'm going to blow you up.
8:28And then the date passes and Donald Trump chickens out.
8:31And then Donald Trump says he's too scared to do the invasion, but he wants
8:34to threaten via social media all caps posts.
8:38And Iran knows that he's a paper tiger and that he's really terrified of a
8:42ground invasion. And I guess Donald Trump thinks he's going to dominate via social media
8:46posts. And Iran's like, yeah, that's not going to happen.
8:48And so you have that.
8:49Then you have like Donald Trump, like making up fake stories about himself.
8:54So earlier yesterday, he posts this story, which most people claim is just not true
8:59at all to the Iranian leaders who will soon be in negotiations with my representatives.
9:04I would greatly appreciate the release of these women.
9:07I'm sure they will respect the fact that you did so.
9:10Please do them no harm.
9:11It's frankly unclear who this, who these women are.
9:14There are some people say the photo looks like it's AI generated.
9:18I'm not going to doubt that there may be eight women in Iran who are
9:22in prison right now and may be facing serious consequences, but I'm not sure it's
9:29these individuals and it's not a death penalty sentence.
9:32People who have looked into this have said, yeah, I'm not really sure who these
9:35people are. Regardless, most people believe this entire story is like completely fake and that
9:41there was no imminent execution.
9:43But then Donald Trump announces that he secured the deal himself to release these women.
9:48He saved the women, he says.
9:50Very good news. I've just been informed that the eight women protesters who are going
9:54to be executed will no longer be killed.
9:57Four will be released immediately and four will be sentenced to one month in prison.
10:00I very much appreciate that Iran saying, dude, what?
10:05I mean, Iran's doing all these like Lego videos and all these social media posts
10:08mocking Donald Trump. But Iran's like, what the hell are you talking about?
10:12You've just made up a fake story about these women.
10:14That's not true. We're not talking to you at all, period.
10:17We didn't release these women based on what you've said.
10:21We didn't release these women.
10:22We don't even know what you're talking about here.
10:24Who are these people? What are you talking about?
10:27No one's negotiating with the Trump regime right now.
10:29And I've showed you, I'm not going to show you the video again, but Iran
10:32keeps making these videos showing he's like negotiating with himself or like puppet dolls that
10:38he believes is MB Galibaba.
10:39Fanaragachi and Pazeshki and all the Iranian people.
10:45It's like, dude, who are you even talking to right now?
10:47I'm not even going to read this, but this is an actual post that Donald
10:50Trump made. It's like he wrote like a storybook.
10:53Do you see how long this is?
10:55I mean, this guy's a deranged maniac.
10:57He then posts, exclusive breaking the law expose reveals Biden White House orchestrated lawfare against
11:04Donald Trump to rig the 2024 election.
11:06Again, it's just such a loser behavior.
11:09Oh, and then he posted the following anyone sick of winning yet to which the
11:13Iran consulate in India and Hyderabad makes mocks him.
11:17They're like, I'm pretty sure sharing this is trolling by itself.
11:22And then I'll just show you two over here.
11:24I mean, in terms of like Donald Trump's like just how weak and pathetic he
11:26is. Remember when he wanted to rig the maps, like in Texas, he was like,
11:31we're going to rig the map.
11:32So we're going to win five seats.
11:33And then when Virginia does its own gerrymandering, and I know that there's a lower
11:38court in Virginia that blocked the referendum, but it's a very partisan right -wing judge.
11:45We expect that to be overturned and for the referendum to stand, but we'll follow
11:48what's going to happen. But anyway, the point is that Donald Trump like complains that
11:52Virginia did gerrymandering when Donald Trump did gerrymandering in Texas.
11:57Just watch what he said first on July 15th, 2025.
12:01And then when he said April 20th, 2025 here, play this clip.
12:04On Texas, how many more seats do you want the Republicans to draw?
12:09And then what if California, New York, Illinois, and other blue states decide to do
12:13this? Yeah, well, that's okay too, but five.
12:15I think we get five.
12:16And there could be some other states.
12:18We're going to get another three or four or five in addition.
12:21Texas would be the biggest one.
12:23So are you calling them for a complete redrawing of the congressional map ahead of
12:27next week? Just a very simple redrawing.
12:29We pick up five seats.
12:31But we have a couple of other states where we'll pick up seats also.
12:34What's going to happen if we lose these elections, you know, the House, in this
12:39case the House, and just, it's going to be a disaster.
12:42If they do this, they're guaranteed to pick up a lot of seats.
12:47And it's, everybody knows it's unjust, including them.
12:50And in terms of Donald Trump's just sinking approval, you can see right here just
12:55how bad Donald Trump's approval is, whether it's on tariffs and especially contrasted to other
13:00foreign leaders, how despised Donald Trump is.
13:03Let's play this clip. Just take a look here.
13:05I mean, this just gives you the name of the game.
13:07Americans on Trump and tariff in the 2024 election versus Kamala Harris.
13:11Look at this. Trump was trusted more on tariffs by 12 points.
13:14But look at his net approval rating down.
13:15Look at that. That's an over 40 point shift away from the president United States.
13:19He's 48 points underwater with independence on tariffs.
13:22This is just a political disaster.
13:24And the longer he drags it out, the more and more it can hurt his
13:27political standing. Well, it certainly hurt the economies, not just the people's pockets, businesses pockets,
13:33but also the world. Did anyone benefit from this when it comes to global leadership?
13:38Yeah. The people who stood up against Donald Trump, that's who benefited from it.
13:42I mean, just take a look here.
13:43I mean, Mark Carney, obviously in Canada, look at this.
13:45His net approval rating plus 24 points.
13:47How about the president of Mexico, Claudia Scheinbaum?
13:50Look at this. Plus 41 points on the net approval rating.
13:53So the people who stood up to Trump on tariffs, those are the people who
13:56benefited versus Donald Trump when he went up against these world leaders.
14:00Well, he just went right straight into the political basement.
14:03And then I'll show you this over here.
14:05Professor Pape, a renowned professor over at I believe University of Chicago.
14:10Here's how he describes the situation in Iran and how Donald Trump will go down
14:14as the worst president in history.
14:16Play this clip. So Iran has learned something even, I think even more than their
14:23material gains, they learned something in the last eight weeks they did not know before,
14:29which is they can beat America, not just survive.
14:33They can actually beat America.
14:35And they're not just beating Donald Trump.
14:38Nobody in America is coming up with this brilliant plan where you're going to use
14:43escalation dominance that we're all going to be happy with to win.
14:47And I'm saying this is this is not good.
14:49This is not good. When you're when a major rival in the world really understands
14:55they can beat you here.
14:58This is different. And this is what Donald Trump has done more than anything else.
15:02He's he's given Iran actual knowledge they did not have before.
15:07They had uncertainty before and they thought, well, could they survive this way beyond survival?
15:13And this is why this is what's happened here is Trump will go down as
15:18the worst president probably ever that we've had worse than Jimmy Carter, worse than Lyndon
15:22Johnson. And this this this catastrophic disaster will probably go down certainly the worst since
15:29Vietnam. And it won't have necessarily the military casualties of Vietnam.
15:34But Vietnam did not wreck the world's economy.
15:37Yeah. And in the in the 2003 Iraq war did not wreck the world's economy.
15:42We didn't have gas prices shooting up like this in that.
15:46That's that's why this is Donald Trump is this is all on his back.
15:52And Iran is not letting him off the hook with some face saving gesture.
15:56And that's going to frustrate people.
15:59But now come January. So as bad as I'm painting it, I'm saying it's going
16:04to possibly get quite work a much worse here because I.
16:07So. All right. I think they want to torpedo Trump's presidency more than the Democrats
16:10want to do it. I mean, imagine that.
16:12They want to do it worse than the Democrats.
16:13So what you're getting here is maybe by January here, when Trump's presidency is thoroughly
16:21wrecked, unrecoverable, the Republicans want to get him out of Dodge, not just simply the
16:28Democrats here, then you might actually have a situation where they want to, because they
16:35will be around for decades, okay, and the U .S.
16:39will be around for decades.
16:40But I really think this is this missing ingredient that I'm not hearing in the
16:47media, that Iran, I think, has a true interest in wrecking Trump's presidency.
16:55And send me emails, folks.
16:56Listen, you know, if I'm missing this on all these other channels, you just let
16:59me know. I'm on those channels.
17:01I'm watching them on TV.
17:03I'm listening to them on podcasts.
17:04I'm just not hearing people explain that Iran wants to wreck Trump's presidency.
17:11And that's going to take some time.
17:13I mean, if you're really going to do this for real, you see, and make
17:17it so he can't come back.
17:18After January 6th, the Democrats let him back in office.
17:21I mean, think about that.
17:23They weren't. You want to wreck a president, you got to do worse than what
17:27happened here. And I think they're trying to do that.
17:29And then more numbers coming in as well.
17:31This from Harry Enten over at CNN talking about Donald Trump's approval at all time
17:37lows. And this was before the APNORC poll came out.
17:40And as Enten goes, Ruh -roh, here play this clip.
17:44Yeah, OK, Americans say inflation is the number one issue facing them right now.
17:49And to quote the great Happy Gilmore, according to them, the price is wrong when
17:53it comes to the president of the United States.
17:54Just take a look at these net approval ratings when it comes to inflation.
17:58The president of the United States is hitting all time record lows in all of
18:02these polls and all of them.
18:03NBC came out yesterday, 36 points underwater.
18:06CBS came out a few weeks ago, 38 points underwater.
18:09Ipsos, Reuters, 43 points underwater.
18:11CNN came out earlier this month, 45 points underwater.
18:14And taking the cake is UMass Amherst, 47 points underwater across all of these polls.
18:22Trump is in his worst position ever on the issue that the American people say
18:26over and over and over again is their key number one issue.
18:30Was it always thus? No, it wasn't this always thus, Mr.
18:34Berman. And this is what is so amazing to me.
18:37I mean, these shifts that we're just seeing, my goodness gracious, voters on Trump and
18:41inflation. In the 2024 election, remember, Trump got reelected to a second term and Joe
18:46Biden got pushed to the curb in large part because Americans felt he couldn't handle
18:49inflation. Trump was more trusted than Kamala Harris on inflation by seven points.
18:54Look at his net approval right now.
18:55You average all those polls on the first side of your screen, 42 points underwater.
19:00That is a nearly 50 -point shift away from the president of the United States.
19:04A nearly 50 -point shift.
19:06That's bad. What's worse? Yeah, what's worse?
19:09You think this is bad, a nearly 50 -point shift?
19:11How about a 70 -point shift?
19:15I'm laughing because you never see numbers like this.
19:18Look at this. Independence on Trump and inflation.
19:20In the 2024 election versus Harris, Trump was favored by 10 points.
19:25Down he goes. Down he goes.
19:27He's down to 60 points underwater on inflation.
19:31That is a 70 -point shift and a little bit less than two years' worth
19:35of time. There you have it, folks.
19:37Let me know what you think about all of this.
