Yeah, okay, so there's a reason why this 14% became 80% and that is because when it comes to Senate primaries, Donald Trump's record is magnificent. You can see it right here, okay. Trump and Dorsey is one Senate primaries of non-elected incumbents, so we're not just looking at elected incumbents, right? We're looking at open seats or appointed incumbents who have never actually won the Senate seat. Look at this. Since 2022, it's about 95% of the time. This year, in fewer races, it's 100% of the time. No wonder why the prediction markets and the conventional wisdom have moved so rapidly once Trump made that endorsement, because at least in Senate races, Trump's record this year, 100%, and since 2022, nearly 100%, there has never been somebody I have seen as powerful in terms of their ability to move the electorate in primaries than the current president of the United States, Donald John Trump. What's one reason for that? One reason why is because Trump is still very popular with Republicans. Just take a look here. A 21st century own party approval rating about at this point in the second term. We got Trump. We got Obama. We got Bush. Look, they're all fairly popular, but the one who is the most popular, and we have seen this time and time out, no matter when you look, is Donald John Trump. He's the only one who's over 80%. 83% of Republicans still approve of the job that Donald Trump is doing as president. He still has that magic touch. We'll see if it carries over to South Carolina, but we've seen it in primaries this year, Senate primaries, and that's because he is still a very popular man, historically popular when it comes to his own party, liking and approving of the job that he's doing.

19 million barrels passed through yesterday, you're probably going to go through 20 million. You were basically almost halfway back of the original shortage of world oil supply, which was about 20% out of 100 billion barrels a day, so 20 billion dollars barrels a day. And look, I just wanted, I guess I have to say it, this memo is non-binding. It's just a political document that opened up a conversation. And whatever the IRGC people may or may not say, they're like Baghdad Bob during the Iraqi war reminds me of that, because there's no bearing in any. They're saying, for example, the Strait of Hormuz is closed, and we're having record transits right now. Women in the streets of Tehran are not wearing their hijab, walking around in short skirts on motorcycles, saying things and singing songs. It's as though they've lost the morality play that they tried to do. Trump has destroyed Iran's military, its industrial base, its economy. They're on their knees, and they're suing for peace. And he's got a diplomatic initiative, and it's going to take a while. I agree with that. It's going to take quite a while, but I take it very, very seriously. And meanwhile, energy prices coming down, gasoline prices coming down, and any money that might go in the next 30 days to Iran, or 60 days, is going to pass through the U.S. Treasury's escrow account. In other words, we will control any money from Iranian oil sales. You're talking about frozen funds. Actually, oil sales first, and the frozen funds may come later, but it will go through a Treasury escrow account which is aimed at purchasing American farm products, various commodities and medical products, to help the people in Iran. So I think, you know, Trump is absolutely in control. There's so much hand-wringing going on here, probably for political reasons, but I think he's on the right track.

A screenshot showing a scrollable feed of four stacked X (Twitter) posts/reposts, apparently reactions to a Trump speech (likely a State of the Union or joint address to Congress) about illegal immigration. First post: reposted by "Cernovich," from Mark Hemingway (@Heminator, verified) saying Democrats reacted badly to Trump's message and that Omar and Tlaib yelling back was "icing on the cake." Second post: from Megan Basham (@megbasham, verified) with a "Subscribe" button, praising Trump for highlighting crime victims of illegal immigration. Third post: reposted by "Cernovich," from Sean Davis (@seanmdav, verified) with a "Subscribe" button, describing Trump telling Democrats they should be "ASHAMED" for not applauding protection of citizens, with Republicans chanting "U-S-A" and Democrats booing. Fourth post: from Guy Benson (@guypbenson, verified) commenting on a "Purple Heart" being pinned in real time. Each post shows a small circular profile picture, verified checkmark, username/handle, and standard post icons (repost/share icon and three-dot menu) on the right.

Text in image: ↻ Cernovich reposted Mark Hemingway ✓ @Heminator I cannot believe Dems fell hook, line, and sinker for Trump's message. Refusing to stand for the statement that we should support citizens over illegal aliens was a giant gift to GOP candidates in the midterms. Omar and Tlaib angrily yelling back is just the icing on the cake. Megan Basham ✓ @megbasham Subscribe Trump highlighting families who are the victims of illegal alien crime is exactly what he needed to do. That is how you use the presidential megaphone in an politically savvy but also true way. ↻ Cernovich reposted Sean Davis ✓ @seanmdav Subscribe TRUMP: "You should be ASHAMED of yourselves for not standing up" to applaud the protection of American citizens, Trump says to Democrats. Republicans responded by chanting U-S-A! Democrats booed. Guy Benson ✓ @guypbenson Powerful to see a Purple Heart pinned in real time.

On Trump's greatest legacy, he broke the Democratic Party and he exposed it for what it was. It was a bicoastal elite party with a bunch of billionaires who spend lavishly and a bunch of subsidized poor and a professional class that feels frustrated. They make $200,000 and $300,000 a year, but they live in these blue cities that are very expensive and they can't buy their beautiful home. That's what the Mondami constituency is, frustrated young white professionals. And then they've lost the working class. It's not just the...they have lost the muscular classes, Hispanic muscular classes, black males, white. As I said before, if you look at 2016, '20 and '24, Donald Trump's white vote, it's pretty constant and he did not win the popular vote in 2016 or 2020 and yet he did win the popular vote and the electoral college in 2024 with the same percentage and actual numbers of white voters. So what happened? He picked up some women, he picked up some young people and he got 55% of Hispanic males and he got about 25% of black males and he picked up another 10% to 15% of Asian male. And how could that be if he was supposed to be a racist according to the Democrats? It happened because they don't like...it's not that they, they're just people. They don't want to be talked to. Nobody wants to be talked to and basically this is a caricature, but the democratic attitude toward a black truck driver or a Mexican American electrician was something like this. Now, you don't know what's good for you, but those 10,000 people crossing the border every year that we're going to...every day and the two to three million people that cross every year illegally in the Rio Grande Valley, they're going to be good for you. I don't care what you say about your schools being swamped, crime going up, they're good for you. Remember that. Men have a right to transition and they are now women and they're going to compete in your daughter's sports and you don't know what's good for you because you're too ignorant. But I will represent you. I'm a black woman with a PhD. I'm a Hispanic woman that's your congresswoman. I am your white liberal Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and I will tell you what is good for you. Got it? You know what, you don't understand that gas at 550 a gallon is really good for you because the planet is heating up and the new Green Deal is going to save you. Get some solar panels and get on the team. So they talked down sanctimoniously and that was never clear when Barack Obama confronted those black democratic activists, young men, and said basically, "You don't know what you're doing. You think Donald Trump's good or something? You've got to get out there and support Harris. You're suffering basically from Marxist false consciousness and I, as an elite, know what's good for you and I will tell you, now go do it." That's what he basically said to them. For me, the locus classicus, the epitome of this is Pete Buttigieg. Everything about him represents what I just said. Sanctimonious, self-righteous, talk down, I know the answers, I know what's good for you. I am the transportation secretary. I don't think California is suffering from not enough freeways or it's too crowded. It's suffering from racist legacies of clover leaves and I'm going to make non-racist clovers. Nobody wants that and that's what the Democratic Party, it's a Karen Scold.

Bill, I'm just, you know, you're an alumnus. What would, what should Harvard do where you'd say, okay, to get back in your good graces, what does the university need to do at this point? - Sure, so the right thing to do, or I should say the wrong thing to do is receive a letter from the administration and write back saying, we're doing nothing. In fact, we're gonna sue you. Okay, that's what Harvard did. What Harvard should have done, it should have said, you know, President Trump, you make some good points, right? You know, taxpayer money coming to Harvard, that's a privilege, it's not a right. And, you know, taxpayer money, you know, going to an institution, the institution cannot have massive amounts of administrative bloat, waste, bureaucracy, and we're gonna eliminate it. We're gonna hire Alex Partners, a restructuring firm. We're gonna take a 3G, a zero-based budgeting approach to the way we run our, you know, administration. Things that are not, inefficiency is causing harm, and we're wasting taxpayer money. Mr. President, you're right. Harvard has become, you know, there is not viewpoint diversity at Harvard. Students are self-censoring their remarks in classrooms. Faculty are doing the same, 'cause people are afraid to have real conversations. You can't learn, you go to college to be exposed to a broad array of ideas. And I guess maybe I should be looking at Joe. A broad array of ideas. And you're not, that's not happening at Harvard. You know, free speech is not happening at Harvard. So you acknowledge the areas where the president is absolutely correct, and you say, look, we're gonna fix those areas, okay? We wanna make a deal, Mr. President. What have we seen from Trump? He asked for the moon, kind of shock and all, okay? Same thing true for Harvard, the most recent letter. No, you could argue it's certainly overreaching in some of the elements, but he wants to make a deal. Make a deal with the president. Commit to fix these things, which, by the way, your alumni want you to fix. It's in the best interest of Harvard. And treat shareholder and taxpayer money like as a fiduciary, and they're not doing that. And, you know, Harvard is not in a good financial position. This is something I think is not well appreciated. They nominally have a $53 billion down. I don't believe the carrying values of their endowment. 80% of the assets are invested in real estate, private equity, and venture capital. - So it's not liquid? - It's not liquid. And they're apparently selling us a billion dollar slice of their private equity. Watch where that gets priced relative to the carrying value of the portfolio. My guess is it could be 30, 40% below the current carrying value to get a bid. In my business, if I owned a slice of something, I sold a piece of it at a 30, 40% discount, I'd have to remark my entire portfolio. So one, the endowment, in my view, is massively overstated in terms of what it's really worth. The second thing is no one talks about the fact that Harvard now has $8 billion of debt. I read the prospectus for the recent bond issue. So you have 53 billion overstated assets that are liquid, and you have $7.9 billion of debt, which you owe, as a donor. Do you want to give money to a nonprofit institution, which is going to go into the institution, going to go out the door to pay money, interest to bond holders? My experience is nonprofits that borrow money, it doesn't end well. And then you have, what do they rely on for current funding? Money every year from the US government, money every year from donations. Donations, I don't know. I have to believe they're down meaningfully. And tax-exempt status. Another reason it induces people to give money to their university is they get a tax deduction. - They're unfair to try to take the tax-exempt status away. - I think it's fair, again. Harvard became, over time, a political advocacy organization for one party. When a university goes from being a university to affecting, becoming a political advocacy organization, it doesn't deserve a nonprofit status. And they have to, Harvard should be a place where students go to learn and the best research gets done. It shouldn't be a place that is allowing pro-terrorist organizations on campus that only allows certain kinds of thinking and speech on campus. That's a political advocacy organization, it's not a university. So I don't think we're gonna end up there where Harvard loses its tax-exempt status. I want Harvard to succeed. It's been very important to me over time. But really, it got itself to a very bad place and Alan Garber is a good president, but he's not managing. The mismanagement here is Penny Pritzker, if this were any other kind of corporation, the notion that she's still chairman of Harvard leading the charge here, in terms of how Harvard managed everything from COVID, I know we have to go, but it's an important topic, to endowment management, to waste, to free speech, to who they hired as president of the university. It's time for a change in leadership and the board at Harvard.

Larry, I can tell you that there are 50, 60, maybe almost 70 countries now who have approached us so it's going to be a busy April, May, maybe into June and Japan is a very important military ally, they're a very important economic ally and the U.S. has a lot of history with them so I would expect that Japan's going to get priority just because they came forward very quickly but it's going to be very busy and if President Trump again gave himself maximum negotiating leverage and just when he achieved the maximum leverage he's willing to start talking.

What we're not talking about is oil was $76, now $65. Gasoline prices are going to plummet. Any other time, that would be the number one story. In fact, if you go to the polls, what will get you elected as president? Much cheaper gasoline or Wall Street crying. I'm just being honest about it, right? So yeah, people have these stocks in their 401(k)s, and guess what? We've been through it. There's a correction on average every year. There's a bear market every couple years. I think most people are accustomed to that,

What does the president want? He wants to worry about major things for national security of America. Steel and aluminum tariffs, that's today, right? Autos coming April 2nd. Semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, things that America must have. So you can imagine these are the kind of tariffs we're gonna make sure these things come back to America and are built in America. And then on April 2nd, he does his reciprocal tariffs, which basically say to all the countries in the world, come on, you treat us a certain way. We'll treat you the same way. Let's make it fair. You want 'em high, they'll be high like they are now. You want 'em low, they'll be low, but let's treat each other fairly. And that's where we're going. Pretty basic, pretty straightforward.

Of the seven swing states right now, President Trump, Charlie, is ahead in every single swing state, every single one. Vibrizio is one of the best pollsters in America. Trump's a plus three in Arizona, plus five in Georgia, plus three in Nevada, and then he's plus one in Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Now, you know, they're polls, they're not votes, just the snapshots in time, but two or three or four weeks ago, Charlie heard, that would not have been the case. So the Kamala buzz is gone, I think, and it looks like Trump is taking command of the race. What do you think? Yeah, no, I agree with you and I, like you, I take all of the polls with a grain of salt. I think what's actually sort of more interesting to look at right at the moment is the change in tactics by the Harris campaign. They are now trying to put her out to do interviews, which they have assiduously avoided, and we now, of course, know why they so assiduously avoided putting her out to do interviews because there are catastrophes for her. She's terrible at it, even when she's doing something with 60 Minutes with CBS, very, very, very a fawning and favorable crew of reporters asking her questions that are really very basic questions. She fumbles through it and it's a disaster and they have to clean everything up. And so I think that to me, I'm starting, I always look at campaigns and I always look at what are they doing, and when a campaign smells the way they smell, I just smell sort of death on them. They're getting desperate, they're trying stuff, and it's not working. Well, I think one of the reasons for Trump's improvement polls is exactly what you described, all these little one-on-one or having beer with goofball late night MCs, which is the nicest thing I guess I can say about that. You're doing a sex podcast? No, on a sex podcast, I was hoping you wouldn't remember.

- Here in Jersey, Atlantic City, what do you support? - I'll keep the 50s. - Trump for the win. - Tell me why. - I can't really call out right now, but I just feel like she's not good for president. She's good vice, but not for the actual lead role for the country. - Does it have anything to do with being a woman? - No. No, 'cause I feel like women, nah, you're not gonna give me that. - Your money's on here. - Yeah. - Who do you want? - Trump. - Why don't you like hair? - Oh, should I have an experience? - She's the vice president. She's a senator. - Yeah, no, it's good, got it. She had no experience. - Well, I want Donald Trump. I just feel we need somebody that has a stronger background with the military and the world in general. - She was a prosecutor and attorney general, senator and vice president. You're in a gambling town. Who's your money on? - I'm gonna support the Democratic Party, but I mean, Trump looks like he got it in the bag right now. - Four years ago, it was a lot better. I made a lot more money than I do now. - I know you feel that way, but that's not actually what the record shows. The economy is actually better under Biden. No, I'm serious. - What? - That's what the facts show. - Okay, you know what? - No, no, that's not because I watched CNN. - Trump or Harris? - Trump. - That's who's gonna win. - That's who's gonna win. - Who do you support? - I support Trump. All the people that came to this country legally, it's not fair that they're letting all 10,000 to 15,000 people or 20,000 people here illegally. Have you seen San Diego? They're coming off the boats, off the water right here, off the ocean. Did you know Biden was flying them in? Did you know Biden was flying them in? You didn't know that? - Well, I know nobody likes them, but we had good times with Donald Trump. Our economy was good. Life was good. - But you know the economy's better under Biden than Trump. - Bullshit. - That's what the stats show. That's what the facts show. - Well, you know what? I don't know where they're getting their facts, but I don't think they're valid. I don't know where their facts are coming from.

Yeah, you know, Steve, it's another warped and senseless ruling by Judge Marchand. You know, this gag order was already an unconstitutional prior restraint of speech. Should have been lifted weeks ago, you know, when the trial ended, the jurors are dismissed. The fact that it wasn't underscores, I think, the unfair treatment of Donald Trump. Nothing magically changed yesterday to lift part of the gag order. And equally baffling, I think, is the fact that the New York appellate court seemed utterly unbothered stating, oh, there's no substantial constitutional question. Are you kidding me? Other than that pesky little document called the First Amendment, silencing a presidential candidate not only violates his free speech rights, but the rights of listeners, the American public, they have a protected right to hear political speech. So now he'll be able to talk about Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels. Will he? Stay tuned. Meanwhile, Greg, we are on Supreme Court watch as a possibility this morning. The Supreme Court could actually have a decision on Donald Trump's immunity case. Although I don't know, do you think it would come out before the debate or after the debate? I tend to think Friday, if I were a betting man, and I would say that based on oral arguments, I suspect the Supreme Court will recognize some limited immunity, probably extending the existing civil standard to criminal immunity. And that is you have protection as long as the president's actions fall within the outer perimeter of his official duties. And if so, then the J six case, Steve will get remanded back to the trial court to decide whether Trump's actions qualify. He has a valid argument. If he truly believed there was election fraud, he's duty bound to enforce all laws. He went to court that failed, of course, but challenging electors on January 6th. That's not illegal. It's permitted under the electoral count act. It's exactly what Democrats did in 2017. So many illegal things. There are a lot of them are head scratchers. That's why it's great, Greg, that we've got you as a brilliant analyst to explain it all to us. Thank you, sir.

It's why this is the greatest country in the world and the American spirit fire should never ever be underestimated The American public is watching what's happening right now And they're looking at the state of affairs in this country and they really only have we only have one person to blame The executive fiat on day one Joe Biden destroyed this country and we watched it happen in real time And keep in mind this is one of the few times in the history of this country We had president Trump who did an excellent job during his four years and then we have Joe Biden It's an absolute catastrophe and then now we have a rubber match They are going to go head-to-head Where we better off under Trump are better off under President Biden and people are watching what's happening Like actually we're better off under Trump and that's why he's leading and every single swing state That's why he's doing so well amongst black voters specifically black men But again, not just black men also independence because we have that direct comparison and we want those days back We want strong border security. We want our economy back And most importantly we're sick of being on the verge of World War two because of World War three Excuse me because of feckless leadership from our current president
