0:00 I don't know if Carville is making this claim just because it gets libies like me to get really interested. My ear goes, I want I want to think about this. It's a little bit of hopeium, you know, or if he genuinely believes it. But Carville is a pretty straight shooter, you know. He just sort of seems to say whatever he thinks. So I think he means this. And let me play his claim about Trump. He is certain Trump will leave office within the next year. He'll get so fed up once Democrats take the House and Senate if that happens. And then he'll just leave. And then I'll give you my response to it and my take. Plus, we'll look at Chris Cuomo confronting him over this. Let's watch. This is
0:45 James Carville, of course, iconic Democratic strategist and member of Bill Clinton's team. >> Trump has no earthly idea of what's coming. They're not telling him. The vote against him in November is going to be like breathtaking. And he's already bored. He can't stay awake. He says he's bored with the Iran war. He's going. And I'm telling you, this guy by Easter of 2027 is just going to walk away from this job. just gonna [ __ ] walk away because he doesn't have any idea of what it's gonna be like when he comes to grips with the massive I mean I I mean it's going to be massive rejection of him anybody has anything to do with him
1:32 anything that he has anything to do with and he's a soft man and he gets distracted he's obviously not well he he sleeps all the time slobers all over himself or whatever I I I'm take it by my thing. He he he won't last past Easter of 2027. He has no idea and they just lie to him and they try to keep [ __ ] from him and it it's all going to come out and it is going to be very ugly. So anyone who sees the disaster of this administration obviously hears someone who's very respected in sort of political pundit political strategist analyst circles being James Carville the one right who coined the phrase it's the
2:18 economy stupid and is seen as knowledgeable about politics. So, anyone who wishes this administration would come to an end before January of 2029 likes to think about, likes to imagine what if it happened earlier. And Carville is not saying that the uh the Big Macs will catch up to Trump. He's just saying that Trump will voluntarily leave office by Easter, as he put it, of 2027. Now, other people think, "Let me give you my take and I'm going to show you Chris Cuomo confronting him and Carville defending this prediction."

Some people talk about how they're certain Trump will no longer be president before 2029 for a different reason, as I referenced with the Big Macs, that whatever's happening with his hands neck face ankles body mind will ultimately lead to uh a I guess you call it sort of like a transition, but instead of a gender transition, it's like a life transition into a different uh a different place. And so other people believe that. I would say that's a more realistic one.
3:49 But here's my here's my prediction. He will become increasingly erratic and he'll increasingly hate his job. I do think Democrats will win both the House and Senate. That's a big prediction. A lot of people don't think they'll win the Senate. I think they're going to. And if they do, I think Trump's presidency comes to a screeching halt and he will have two years of every hearing, every investigation, every member of his administration being dragged in front of committees and all sorts of dirty laundry being aired out. He'll hate it, but he's not going to leave office. If you have learned anything from Trump, it is that he needs the spotlight. He needs the power. He needs to be at the center of the world. And while it's true once the 2028 presidential campaign starts ramping up, he's going to feel like he's not as much in the spotlight cuz he
4:35 won't be running and everyone's going to be talking about Vance Rubio and then Democrats and what's the Democratic primary and he'll start doing more and more unhinged things to get us talking about him again, but he'll be doing it from the Oval Office still. His ego would not let him voluntarily leave office. I don't know where Carval's getting this idea. I love it. I love thinking about it. Him being like, "This is not fun. I'm out." But number one, I don't even want that in a weird way cuz I don't want JD Vance to be running for president and have the power of the presidency to help his campaign. Do you think Trump will really care if Vance wins after him? No. People need to get their head around this. Trump does not care about the Republican party. He doesn't care about Vance. He doesn't care about any of that. He just cares about himself. He's our only think about this. Our only saving grace from
5:23 our democracy being completely ruined in 2028 is that Trump is a narcissist. And so I don't think he'll care enough to try to quote unquote rig the election for Vance because he doesn't care about Vance. He doesn't care about Rubio. He probably prefers a Democrat take office after him so that he can be like, "See, I was amazing and Democrats are terrible or whatever." Maybe he would prefer a Republican. I don't know. But I know he does not care that much about Vance's legacy or Vance's power. So if he left office, Vance would become president and that would give him an advantage in running for president. I don't like that idea. I would rather the entire country sour on Trump be waiting until he's out of office and Democrats be able to run against Trump,
6:11 not against the guy who voluntarily left and now is less relevant. So I don't even know as a strategic matter if that would be good. But it is fun to imagine. I don't see it being realistic whatsoever. More realistic is like there's a health problem and that causes Trump not to be able to finish his term. But here is Chris Cuomo being like, "James, I respect you. I love you." But that doesn't seem realistic. >> All right. Now, here's the part where you'll probably yell at me. >> Um, I've known you a long time. You know, I'm a fan and I'm a friend. You're a mentor. And I I I I just have so much respect. >> Oh, here it comes. Okay. But >> with all due respect, >> this isn't going to hurt me. >> I know. You know it. You know it's nothing. With all due respect, sir, that's it. You know it's going to be bad. No, seriously, you don't really
6:56 believe that President Donald Trump is going to resign short of his term. >> I do. Come on. >> Okay. On what theory? >> I'll explain. I can look at him. I'm I will be 82 in October. I I I I don't know how you measure health, but he is not a healthy man and he doesn't have any energy. Uh he's close to being morbidly obese. He has a terrible family history and he doesn't know. >> Something about the way James Carville talks would make me more devastated if he was saying those things about me than if anyone else was saying it. If I overheard Jaden being like, "Luke is, you know, practically morbidly obese," I
7:42 would go, "Oh, that's well, okay." If I heard James Carville say it, so he says it like it's such a matter of fact, I would feel so hurt. Chris, there's one thing I know that not many people know. I know what it's like to get hit the way they're going to get hit. We got hit 94. It hurts. It takes you back. Now, we were fortunate enough that we had Bill Clinton who was in his late 40s against new ganglers, probably the one of the bigger buffoons in the history of American politics. He's not that. He doesn't He's not Bill Clinton. He's can't come back. He's old. He's tired. And he is going to sit there and people are not going to pay attention to him. No one's going to want to talk to him. It's all going to be the new Democrats coming in. Let's have Hakee
8:27 Jeff. Let's have the new appropriation. Let's have the new Senate Intelligence Committee person. and he just not he's a soft man and he if in fact if it health committing and I'm not sure it will come April he is just going to walk away. I really believe that I I I genuinely do and you know it's a bold prediction. It could be wrong. You can have it back here on May the 1st and say he's still there. Jimmy boy and you you missed it. Okay, I missed it. But I I genuinely believe that. I know how hard this man is going to getting ready to get hit and it hurts. It hurts bad. >> Huh? I got to tell you, I'm I find that a fascinating analysis and I'll never uh play got you with you because uh you
9:15 you're you're too big and you mean too much to me to play a silly stupid game like that. But if you're right, I'll be shocked. I'll tell you that much. Uh but Jimmy, I appreciate you. Jimmy, I do not see that happening at all. You're analyzing him like a human being. That's the problem. James Jimmy, you're analyzing him from your perspective that whenever you were working for Bill Clinton and you got hit real hard with the impeachment effort and all that that it hurt real bad. Trump will be poed by all of the likely impeachments of him and investigations and the national discussion not becoming what Trump what is Trump up to today. But what are Democrats about to do to Trump today? But he is able to internalize everything
10:02 through a lens of I am amazing and everything is anything wrong to me is because of other people's issues and not mine. And he will just see this as the final effort to take him down. And you're going to I'm just warning you. Get ready. I want Democrats to quote unquote go after him when they take power after the midterms if that happens. I want those investigations. I'm sure he's going to be impeached and there's plenty of reason to impeach him. He won't be convicted, but add a third to the list. But he's going to actually feel that his supporters are rallying around him. Just get ready. One of the reasons it's been kind of a simple political analysis lately is because Democrats don't have power. So none of the discussion is
10:48 really Democrats v Trump. It's just Trump and then Republicans attacking each other and then things being bad and then Trump losing support. There's a simplicity because you can't really run stories as right-wing media about how Democrats are so crazy when they don't have any power. Everything that's going on is your people. So then they have to argue amongst themselves mostly versus similar phenomenon happened after the 2022 midterms and Republicans took the house. Once it becomes Democrats verse Trump, while Trump's approval rating I think will continue to get dragged down among the general populace, the political debates will go back to Democrats verse Republicans. Democrats verse Trump. Oh, they're
11:34 they're being dishonest in this hearing and and then, oh, they're impeaching Trump. How dare they? He might even get a polling boost cuz Republicans will rally around him. Do you remember the polling boost he got during the campaign when he started getting indicted among Republicans? It'll be like that. Now, that doesn't mean that Democrats shouldn't do what they need to do to hold him accountable. They should. And because he's still the president, I think the general American populace will be like, "Thumbs up, Democrats. Keep doing that cuz man, this guy needs to be held accountable." But among Republicans, Trump's going to get some energy out of being once again their hero who's being wronged by Democrats. The only thing that can distract Republicans from their anger at Trump for failing as a president is their hatred of Democrats. And so it's going
12:21 to happen. Trump's going to be fueled by those fights. And he's definitely going to last unless there's a health problem through the rest of his term. And it's going to be really fun two years for us. Really bad, but but much more fun than the first two years because Democrats will actually have some power and be able to reign in Trump's power.
