NewsTranscript
00:00A Fox News propagandist, Laura Ingram is warning Donald Trump.
00:06If Democrats win big in 2026 you are going to get yourself impeached.
00:13Let's take a look at this video.
00:14Federal budget.
00:15And I can tell you for the next, this next fiscal year, we're going to be taking a flamethrower
00:20to the waste that Elon Musk better because this, these midterms don't go the right way.
00:25We're looking at, uh, you know, the Democrats are already planning to impeach president
00:28Trump.
00:29That is the truth.
00:30Investigations are going to start and they're going to go into town on you all on, on the
00:33Republican party.
00:34So, um, and again, you got here five minutes ago, look at, he's already getting the Ingram
00:38angle treatment.
00:39Congressman, what I'm struggling with here is the idea that this is some democratic plot
00:46to impeach Trump, right?
00:48Plotting as if there's a secret cabal of democratic operatives huddled in some back room with
00:54maybe with cigars, maybe with gummies talking about the plan.
00:59And it makes it sound kind of like a grand conspiracy.
01:03Now, should Trump be impeached?
01:05Of course he should.
01:06I did a video a week after Trump was back in office pointing out he's done five different
01:11things worthy of impeachment.
01:14But would the Senate actually convict him?
01:16Absolutely not.
01:18Now, 2026 is a long way off and a lot can happen between now and then.
01:23Right now, Trump has the house and Senate firmly in his grip.
01:27And unless Democrats can somehow crack the Republican loyalty cult to Trump, attempting
01:31to impeach Trump is going to be just another pointless performative exercise deserved,
01:37but a pointless performative exercise.
01:39The unfortunate reality of the current political landscape is that the Republican party has
01:45made it abundantly clear that they're going to defend Trump no matter what, whether he's
01:50impeached, whether he's indicted.
01:52Whether he's convicted, whether he's caught on tape admitting to crimes, which, by the
01:56way, all of those things have already happened.
01:59We know that the loyalty cult will continue, but now we have to act all shocked.
02:05Oh, Democrat, you know, Democrats are plotting to impeach Trump if they take over in 2026.
02:14And now it's a witch hunt and Trump is going to start selling impeachment survivor commemorative
02:19place in the whole thing.
02:21We've already said it.
02:22He certainly deserves to be impeached just based on his first week in office.
02:26But it's not a secret thing.
02:28It's obvious it's simply not going to go anywhere under the current political environment.
02:33And this, if we zoom out just a little bit, we've talked many times over the last decade
02:42about how checks, balances and norms have completely and totally collapsed.
02:48And I write about this a little bit in my forthcoming book, which is that the reason
02:54we talk about norms collapsing isn't because of some, you know, nostalgic attachment to
03:02the way it used to be and pointless rules of decorum and etiquette, you know, kind of
03:07the the stuff that Trump has done is not the political equivalent of putting your napkin
03:13on the table before you're done eating in the world of etiquette.
03:16OK.
03:17The reason that it's such a critical failure to explore is that when we talk about what
03:25some call the the perfect nature of how the framers of the Constitution set up checks
03:30and balances, we've learned they weren't quite so perfect because they assumed something
03:36about the American people.
03:38The checks and balances, as established by the founders, assumed that Trump would never
03:44be a reality because the American public would never be so dumb.
03:49They would never fall for it.
03:51And what we learned and one of the things that that I kind of pointed out in my segment
03:56about like Plato, I'm questioning whether democracy is the best system sort of tongue
04:02in cheek.
04:03I still think it is, but it has real problems, which is the incompetent ultimately end up
04:08in charge or can end up in charge.
04:11The reason that the norm breaking is important is because it does go to the degree to which
04:17the checks and balances established by the framers simply don't cut it when it comes
04:23to a population like the one we have right now and its willingness to put someone like
04:27Donald Trump back in office.
04:29So that's really the point.
04:30It's not just pointless.
04:32You know, like the French poli tests, it it has real impact here.
04:36Now on the bonus show today, we are going to talk about how inflation is lower than
04:42expected.
04:43Uh, in February, this is good news.
04:47I have made it abundantly clear.
04:49I have a perspective on this show.
04:52It is a left wing perspective, but I am not, not going to deceive you, at least not deliberately.
04:58If I do it accidentally, I'll apologize and correct myself.
05:00I'm not going to deceive you and play political games with the economy.
05:04We saw inflation 2.9 when Biden left office, it went up to three.
05:11It is now down to 2.8.
05:13This is happening under Trump.
05:15We will discuss it on today's bonus show.
05:17I also want to talk about the California governor's race.
05:21Former Congresswoman Katie Porter has stepped into the governor's race in California.
05:27This also relates to the future of Gavin Newsom politically, many important aspects to this.
05:33And we also are seeing Utah poised to become the first state to ban fluoride in its public
05:40water system.
05:41Is this the influence of RFK jr?
05:43We will discuss it.
05:45As far as my book goes, we are now at roughly 7,500 pre-orders.
05:53I am going to be signing copies at Brookline Booksmith very soon.
05:59You can get a signed copy at David Pakman dot com slash booksmith.
06:05I have started getting a bunch of my author copies.
06:08These will start shipping out soon.
06:09The official release date is March 25th.
06:11The audio book is available.
06:13The Kindle book is available.
06:15It's available at Barnes and Noble, Amazon.
06:17Any local bookstore can get the book for you.
06:19But the only place to get the signed copy is David Pakman dot com slash booksmith.
06:24In addition, it is possible that by this time tomorrow or maybe the next day, we will
06:31have reached three million subscribers on YouTube.
06:36Thank you in advance.
06:37I appreciate it so very much.
06:40And remember that we will be back tomorrow.
06:42Actually, tomorrow.
06:43Let me see.
06:44I want to look at our schedule because we have something very interesting coming up.
06:48Yes.
06:49Tomorrow, we will be hearing from one of the fired federal workers.
06:57Thanks to Doge.
06:58And I think that's going to be very interesting.
06:59Next week, Jamie Raskin is going to be on with us.
07:02Congressman Dan Goldman will be joining us.
07:04And then I've got a bunch of other things coming up.
07:05So we'll see you on the bonus show.
07:08And I'll be back here tomorrow.
07:10I have a book coming out.
07:12I've spent a long time working on this.
07:15I couldn't be more excited to share it with you.
07:18It is called The Echo Machine, and it answers a crucial question.
07:23How did American politics get so broken?
07:26And just as importantly, how do we fight back effectively before it's too late?
07:31Trump back in the White House, damage piling up, an administration filled with extremists
07:36and loyalists, attacks on democratic institutions, policies hurting working people.
07:43If you've felt like you're screaming into the void and watching democracy slip away.
07:48My book, The Echo Machine, will help you make sense of what's happening and also give you
07:53an idea of what we can do about it.
07:55Go to David Pakman dot com slash echo or find it on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Audible, Kindle,
08:02anywhere books, ebooks and audio books are sold.
08:06You can also call any local bookstore and say, I'd like David Pakman's The Echo Machine
08:11from Beacon Press.
08:13Preorders make a huge difference.
