Democrats are saying on day one, we are going to impeach you Donald Trump. Democrats right now working through a strategy of how they will plan this impeachment against Donald Trump. In that there are so many grounds for impeachment, Democrats want to make sure they are organized. We're hearing from Democratic Congresswoman Ramirez saying we're speaking about how we can get a concrete coordinated strategy. Democratic Congresswoman Anzari is Talking about how when Democrats take control of the House, we will push for impeachment and we will do it in a way that is, quote, overwhelming. This as the latest poll from Strength in Numbers and Verisite shows that over 55% of the country right now supports impeachment against Donald Trump. Only 37% of the country oppose impeachment of Donald Trump. In essence, more people support the impeachment of Donald Trump right now than people who supported the impeachment of Richard Nixon when Richard Nixon resigned. Also, Donald Trump less popular among independents right now than Richard Nixon at the time Nixon resigned. Also, Donald Trump less popular with the economy right now than Jimmy Carter, former President Biden, George W. Bush during the Great Recession. By far worse consumer confidence numbers in the University of Michigan poll on consumer sentiment right now than in the history of the poll. The American people recognize that Donald Trump is a two bit fraud, a two bit con artist, and the entire country wants to see him impeached. No wonder cowardly Donald Trump rushed out of the White House yesterday to go to his safe space in Mar a Lago for what, 16 hours? He's supposed to return tonight to the White House Correspondence Dinner. May I add that there's no comedian performing at tonight's dinner. It's supposed to be a propaganda fest for Donald Trump. It's why we're not going to be airing it on the Midas Touch Network. I have no desire to hoist up state regime media trying to promote Donald Trump, who is the most disapproved of president in American history. Let's not pretend that this is some popular person. He has numbers where if we had a healthy media environment, everybody would be doing what we're doing on the Midas Touch Network, which is to demand Donald Trump's immediate resignation. Get that vile piece of trash. Get that sexual predator. Get that criminal out of the Oval Office right now. He discussed me. He discussed this country, that grotesque thing. Discuss the world. Get him the hell out. He's caused too much damage already. And that's my message today when we're talking about the White House Correspondents Dinner. If I was able to get up there and give that speech, I would look him in the face and I would say those exact words should also be noted though, that protests are already beginning in Washington, D.C. before the White House Correspondents Dinner. As Aaron Parnas reports, in honor of the White House correspondence weekend, this video message is being projected onto buildings highlighting Donald Trump's close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it's being displayed right where the White House correspondent dinner is going to take place. Good. Now, the American people are sick and tired of all of Donald Trump's lie after lie after lie in the lie that he told that the United States envoys, Witkoff and Kushner, who shouldn't even be envoys. Why are these two people who are representing their own interest, representing the interest of Israel, not representing the interest of the United States, representing their own pecuniary interests. Why would they even be there in the first place? Right. Those people shouldn't be envoys. Regardless, Donald Trump said Witkoff and Kushner, they're going to meet with Foreign Minister Iraqi of Iran in Islamabad, Pakistan. That's what's going to happen. No, that's not happening. Foreign Minister or Aggie of Iran said, no way are we meeting with these people. All of the Iranian media said, we are not meeting with the United States until the US Stops their naval blockade, stops threatening Iran agrees to the 10 point framework. We have no desire to have any, any negotiations with the United States. Nonetheless, it was market manipulation Friday, everybody where Donald Trump does the pump and dump stuff. And so he's like, no. Witkoff and Kushner are going. And Iran's like, are you like stalkers? We don't want to meet with you. Like, we're being very clear. We don't want to meet with you. Get the hell away from us. By the way, how embarrassing to the United States of America that you have Donald Trump so thirsty for negotiations and when Iran doesn't even want to meet. And think about the lack of the weakness that projects that Iran's out there saying they don't want to meet. Look though, we have a video of the meeting. Like we have a visual on what went down. Guess who's not in the room. Witkoff and Kushner. Guess who is in the room. Iraqi and the Pakistani officials. Exactly what Iraqi said was gonna happen. He's doing a bilateral meeting with Pakistan and they released this video. To be very clear, ain't no one in the United States in the room right now. And meanwhile, you also have the Iran parliament leader, MB Golubov, mocking the Trump regime's attempt to prop up the United Arab Emirates, who are facing major economic problems. MB Golubov says swaps given to prevent disorderly sale of US Assets. Translation, some holders can't sell. Case you don't know hidden single digit percentage sale cap limits, some institutional holders. Door closes if things escalate, get out while open, their front line is, is the yield curve. And Iranian social media is Posting the front line of striking America is financial warfare. Iran is recognizing that while Donald Trump does his whole two weeks, in two weeks I'm going to do this. In two weeks, I'm going to do that. Don't worry. We've got a plan. Meanwhile, the Strait of Hormuz has been closed since what, effectively early March. We've done nothing to try to reopen it other than Donald Trump lie about fake deals with Iran. Every, you know, every. Every other day he makes up a new fake deal. Ir, like, no, that's not happening at all. And what's happening, oil shock, supply shock, just keeps getting worse and worse and worse. That's what's happening. I should also mention, as we were talking about these protests in advance of the White House correspondence dinner tonight, if Donald Trump's even gonna show. Democratic members of Congress joined with protesters in Washington, D.C. to protest against a dinner that Donald Trump had the other night. Donald Trump had dinner with the Ellisons, who are now trying to acquire Warner Brothers after they acquired cbs. And so Donald Trump met with them and all of the CBS officials working to turn not just cbs, but all the Warner Brothers properties into state regime media as well. I can go on and on. I mean, you got Donald Trump out there posting these racist images of Candace Owens. Be clear, I'm no Candace Owens, friends. But the fact that the Commander in Chief of the United, United States, the President of the United States, is posting racist photos like this of Candace Owens, which says that she uses rich white men, this is what Donald Trump's posting. That's why I said this guy in the Oval Office is pure trash. Really is just a horrible human being. And fortunately, I did a whole report on this yesterday, but a federal judge in the Southern District of Florida stepped in to basically block Donald Trump's attempt to reach a settlement with the government in a lawsuit that he filed against the government in late January of 2026, Donald Trump filed a lawsuit claiming that there was a data breach to access his IRS tax records back in 2019. So just so you have the timeline, January 2026, Donald Trump alleges that in January of, or he alleges in 2019. So in 2026, he alleges that in 2019, there was a data breach that access tax records such that he is owed $10 billion by the government right now by the IRS and by the Treasury Department. And so he filed in this lawsuit a request for an extension of time so he can pursue settlement talks with himself in the federal government. And the judge is like, no, this seems like a collusive settlement. This doesn't seem adversarial. I, as a federal judge, am not going to let this proceed. She called Donald Trump's bluff and she says, you gotta show up in court and prove to me that this is not some collusive fraud, sham lawsuit, which is what it looks like. So she called Donald Trump's bluff. Fortunately, that's been put on pause, that lawsuit. Donald Trump's gonna have to justify it now, and this judge is not buying it. But let's talk about what the American people are going through back to what this video is based on. Everybody wants Donald Trump impeached on day one. Right now, just to remind you right here of what Donald Trump campaigned on. We at the Midas Touch Network have aggregated some of these clips. Some of them are aggregated from others. But take a look right here. These are multiple clips of Donald Trump promising on day one he would half the price of electricity within one year. He said that elect your electricity bills would be half the amount of money they were in 2024 within one year. Listen to what he says here. Play this clip.
