-This is an executive order relating to the use of paper straws. As you've consistently identified, nobody really likes paper straws. -Number-one trending. Can you believe it? A paper straw is number-one trending for three days or something. -The environmental impact of plastic straws versus paper straws is entirely unclear. This has cost both the government and private industry an absolute ton of money and left consumers all over the country wildly dissatisfied with their straws. So, we're asking aspects of the federal government, federal departments, and agencies to look at their existing procurement processes, and we're asking your domestic policy council to look holistically at this issue to address it, and it really is something that affects ordinary Americans and their everyday lives. -We're going back to plastic straws. These things don't work. I've had them many times, and on occasion, they break. They explode. If something's hot, they don't last very long, like a matter of minutes. Sometimes, a matter of seconds. It's a ridiculous situation. So, we're going back to plastic straws. I think it's okay. And I don't think that plastic is going to affect a shark very much as they're eating -- as they're munching their way through the ocean. Okay.

It's Hall of Fame linebacker Brian Erlacher. I've made a lot of big hits in my career, but there's only one man who can tackle the problems facing our nation. President Trump will tackle inflation and will make America affordable again. He will slash your taxes. And remember, a vote for Trump is a vote for no tax on tips. He will protect our border and stop dangerous drugs like fentanyl from entering our communities. But most importantly, he will put Americans like you above everyone else. So please join me in supporting President Trump. America needs him now more than ever.

It was a mostly peaceful weekend in Washington. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and little Johnny G. Hotties surrounded the White House. The Johnny G. Hotties desecrating the statue of General Rochambeau, the Frenchman who, along with Lafayette and Washington, forced the surrender of British General Cornwallis, effectively winning the Revolutionary War. Police made no arrests. Actually, there was one arrest, but he escaped. Biden says he's defending democracy, but can't defend the statue of the general who helped start it. It was also Biden's biggest turnout of the season, crowd size in the tens of thousands. More Democrats protested Biden in one night than showed up to support him all year. Kamala also got showered with Sharia love in Michigan. We mourn all the innocent lives that have been lost in Gaza, including those tragically killed today. For the past eight months, President Biden and I have been working every day to bring this conflict. I'm speaking right now, and I value and respect your voice, but I'm speaking right now. While Biden and Kamala were getting heckled out of their own blue backyards, Trump was on their home turf, getting some California love. 45 didn't come home empty handed. More on that in a minute. Then he flew to Vegas for a campaign rally that was so hot, the teleprompter broke. Could you imagine if Biden was up? He's no good with the teleprompter. He's the worst I've seen, but could you imagine if the teleprompters were off? Here's Biden. He's, oh, he wouldn't even say anything because he's incapable. He'd probably go pause. You know, pause about what he's reading the teleprompter. And then they say pause, meaning, you know, maybe you'll get about three people clapping and he goes pause. No, he just walked off the stage like this. Oh, tell a bro, this guy is the worst. After the comedy show, Trump revealed a new economic policy that hardworking Americans are going to love. You know, people are saying to themselves, were we better off four years ago, or are we better off now? And it wasn't even close. We had the greatest economy in history. What we did in taxes, nobody's ever done. So this is the first time I've said this. And for those hotel workers and people that get tips, you're going to be very happy because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips, people making tips. Now, when I was a bellhop, they paid me about 425 an hour, but I made hundreds of dollars in cash tips, which we didn't report, obviously, because they can tax it. But everything's on credit cards now. You can't hide it. Uncle Sam taxes tips. Biden hired 87,000 extra IRS agents, gave them guns to do it. Trump's tip tax cut makes Biden look like a sinister old geezer. And it's already moving the needle. I did talk with some hotel workers yesterday, some service workers here in Las Vegas about how that is playing with them. And Annemarie, about six people told me that would change their vote. That is enough to make them switch from voting Democrat to Republican if Donald Trump is promising something like that to them. Sources in Delaware tell me Biden's a terrible tipper. Usually has somebody else pay for him. But when he does pay, no bueno, a bad tipping president who taxes tips doesn't get reelected. A new CBS poll says the economy is the number one issue for Americans, not the Trump conviction. That's at the bottom of the list. And it's not just the economy stupid. Turns out most America wants mass deportations too. Would you support a new government program that would deport all people living in the U.S. illegally? And that finds majority favor. That finds six in 10. So unpack that a bit, because this 62 percent of Americans favor deporting all undocumented immigrants. Some of what Mr. Trump talks about could be illegal. It doesn't seem practical in some sense to round up children. So what exactly do people think they're supporting? Deporting illegals could be illegal is the kind of brilliant analysis Americans are blessed with on CBS Sundays. Remember Biden's executive order to shut down the border if border crossings hit over 2500 a day. Well, border crossings have been over 2500 a day every day since Biden signed the order and he hasn't shut it down the day after he signed the order. There were 4000 border crossings. The next day they were 10000. Anybody hear anything about Biden shutting down the border? You didn't, because he didn't. Why would Democrats support a man like that? They don't. A friend of the show, Nick Shirley, went to Compton. Watch. Who are you voting for in 2024? Obama. Obama's not even running. I don't know then. I'm voting for Trump. I'm voting for Trump because he's putting money in our pocket. I'm gonna say Sleepy Joe. Sleepy Joe. Nah, I'm just playing. It's probably Trump. I ain't gonna lie, I'll go for Trump. I really would. I'll go for Trump because Biden ain't showed his name. Trump for the people. Give me Trump, bro. And why so? Because he foe us. He's here as the Trump. Joe Biden's been present from 2020 to 2024. What differences have you seen in those past eight years? Everything's going up. Food's going up. Gas going up. The economy is going up. So it's a difference, a major difference. But I haven't done for our community yet. We're still in the ghetto. We're still in the head. Whatever you're doing. I haven't seen no changes. Period. From Compton to Silicon Valley, Democrats are walking away from the guy who can barely walk. Trump hold in $30 million from his California swing. 12 million came straight out of Nancy Pelosi's backyard. Tech billionaires say they were impressed by how eloquent and articulate Trump was and opened up their checkbooks. He wasn't the guy I see on TV. One source told the Post he was very thoughtful and self-deprecating. One of the billionaires who hosted the fundraiser for Trump was a lifelong Democrat who says he's been forced into political homelessness as a Democrat who has been left homeless, who is now definitely in the center, but probably leaning increasingly right. I'm left yet again with an appreciation despite the messenger of the message of the Trump administration. Fire's remorse is rippling through the Democrat ranks. And Clinton guru James Carville says, don't blame me. I never wanted the guy. It isn't the choice that I was crazy about. I actually was very public that I thought that President Biden should not run for reelection, but he did. And as human Trump, and that's where I am, the lack of enthusiasm among young people for public policy or public service or being involved in the public square is quite disheartening. And the Democrat numbers guru Nate Silver announced today that the Biden approval rating has reached an all time low and says Biden is in much worse shape than he was four years ago and is on track to lose handily and suggests we might have hit the threshold where Biden dropping out would help Democrats more than if he stuck it out. Because what does it say about a man who won't protect America's symbolic landmarks, won't protect our national sovereignty and won't even protect workers meager tips from vicious IRS agents during an inflationary bubble that he caused. If you love this country, you fight to protect it. Number one, take any of the greatest fighters of all time. Trump is number one, the most resilient human being that I've ever met in my life. And what respect I keep doing this, you know, you've got money, you've got a great life, you got whatever. Why keep doing this? And the one thing that I can tell you, and this is a fact, this guy loves this country, right? And he loves all Americans, regardless of what color, religion or whatever it is, he's not a racist, he's a good human being, and he loves America and he cares about this country. Period. End of story. From waitresses to Wales, from Compton to venture capital to Lafayette Park, just yards from the White House, the anti Biden avalanche is building up speed and is taking all of us along for the ride from the bottom up to the top down. This election boils down to this reason, triumphing over fear. If enough Americans use their common sense and deliberate, and they don't allow their passions to be inflamed by demagogues, Joe Biden will be soundly defeated in November.

From all over the world they came. Millions of illegal border crosses have entered the country unlawfully. They're coming by the thousands. Nobody could afford this and even morally it's so wrong. We're not smart enough to know who I am, but soon you're going to know who I am. We will secure our borders and we will restore our sovereignty. They recognize the fact that Joe Biden is more favorable president for immigrants. Proper Biden. Biden, of course.

You've been with the guy with Trump A bunch of times since he got indicted and the world is kind of crashed in around him. How does he seem? Can't tell really. Oh, I mean when we're golfing and we're hanging out in different scenarios here and there it's um His spirits are always up and he's he's he's always talking about this country He's always talking about this country and how he wants to win for he likes to win it anything Yeah, that's anything well, we're golfing like, you know, I want a hundred bucks from him to UFC I don't think he was too happy about it, but would you bet on we were betting up fights?

Yeah, and um Man somebody that's that's in that office in any office that wants to win for this country I'm in I've never seen anybody wants to win for this country like that I don't think we'll ever see anything like it in our lifetime means the greatest president we've had and he's Unaffected in your experience by everything that's happening. Is he pissed off? Sure. Yeah, but he doesn't seem broken at all I don't want to speak out of school, you know, but uh, you know Yeah, who's not gonna him and haul a little bit about the people that are doing this to him You know these people in New York. It's a freaking joke. Yeah, I mean one Google search on Zillow property in Palm Beach There's like a couple acres. It comes up on the water. It's all it's 200 million dollars Yeah, and they're like Marlon was only worth 17 million.

In his latest outrageous sellout of the American people, Crooked Joe Biden has pledged to pay climate reparations to foreign countries. They've been ripping us off for years and now on top of it, we're gonna give them money when their atmospheres and everything else are horrible. We're gonna pay them, they're not gonna pay us. Just recently Crooked Joe sent Kamala Harris to Dubai with a pledge to give away billions and billions of dollars of American taxpayer money, all to foreign nations that don't deserve it. These America last lunatics want to redistribute your wealth to the rest of the world, to apologize for America's success. All the while, China and other countries pump massive amounts of pollution into the atmosphere and we pay. We pay for what they do. When I'm president, the United States will not pay one single penny in climate reparations as part of Joe Biden's globalist Green News scam. And if Crooked Joe tries to pay any climate reparations to foreign countries in the next 12 months, I will make it my mission to claw back every last cent when I take office. The days of stupidly transferring American wealth to foreign nations will soon be over. The election of 2024 will be the most important election in the history of our country. It will save our country. Thank you.

And I wanna turn just for a moment to brand new polling out of Iowa on the Republican field for president. Joining us now from the big board, NBC News national political correspondent, Steve Kornacki. Steve, what are the numbers show? - Yeah, we're basically exactly, almost exactly 35 days, almost having a month until the Iowa caucuses. This what we're gonna show you, our brand new NBC News Des Moines Register poll. The Des Moines Register poll is taken by Ann Selzer. She is known as one of the best in the business and certainly the authority when it comes to polling on Iowa. So let me show you these numbers. Republican side for the Iowa caucuses, we now have Donald Trump leading with an outright majority in Iowa, 51% Ron DeSantis, a very distant second at 19, Nikki Haley, 16, Ramaswami and Christie at four. We last polled Iowa in October, also with the Des Moines Register. Since then, look at this, Donald Trump's lead. He has added eight points to his total. DeSantis up a couple, Haley, who had been moving flat. I think it's significant because in the month leading up to this poll, you had Ron DeSantis pick up the endorsement of the governor of Iowa, the endorsement of a key evangelical leader in Iowa, got a lot of press attention for completing a 99-county tour of Iowa, had a Fox News debate against Gavin Newsom in front of millions of Republican-leaning voters, and was part of that fourth Republican debate last week that Donald Trump wasn't in. So for all those things that we thought might be given to Santa Saboost over the last month, it is Trump, despite not participating in the debates again, it's Trump who's made the big gains, Trump who's moved to 51% in this Iowa poll. Just a couple other numbers we can show you behind this. These are evangelical voters in Iowa. Remember, Donald Trump finished third with this group in 2016 when he ran in Iowa and lost. Now he leads it overwhelmingly, exact same number as what he gets overall. Evangelicals could make up two out of every three caucus-goers in Iowa. That was the case the last time around. Where Trump really turns it on though, it is first-time caucus-goers. This tends to be a younger group overall. Look at that, 63% of folks who say for the first time, they're going to go to a caucus or rallying behind Donald Trump. This is independents. Independents are a small share of the Iowa electorate, but I think it gets to the basic problem Nikki Haley has. Look how much better Nikki Haley does among independents. It's true in Iowa, it's true in New Hampshire. It is true in every poll we have seen. But in Iowa and in most of these Republican primary and caucus states, big exception being New Hampshire, independents are going to be outnumbered significantly by core Republicans. Haley has yet to show that she can make the inroads she needs with core Republicans. That is to say, Republicans who like Donald Trump, she's yet to show she can make those inroads to be competitive. Also, in terms of enthusiasm, we asked folks, are you very extremely enthusiastic about your choice? Trump, look at that, two to one, three to one advantage over his rivals. We asked folks, is your mind made up? 77 out of 10% of Trump voters in Iowa say their minds are made up, again, more than double that of any of his nearest rivals. And then we asked this question here, a lot of words. This is about electability and Republicans' perception of it here. We've talked so much in 2023 about Donald Trump's trials. We will continue to talk about it in 2024, but we asked folks, can Donald Trump win the election regardless of his legal challenges? Now, nearly three out of four Republicans in Iowa say yes. Last month, that number wasn't even two out of three. Big jump there for Trump. We also said, hey, are Trump's legal challenges too much? They make it nearly impossible for him to win. 24% saying that, again, that number was over 30 last month. So all sorts of signs in this poll, Mika, showing that Donald Trump over the last month, last six weeks in Iowa has actually improved his position. And the last time we were this close to the caucuses, again, just about a month away, that a Republican candidate had a lead anywhere near this size. You got to go all the way back to George W. Bush. The year was 2000. Bush won the caucuses. Bush won the nomination. - NBC's Steve Kornacki, thank you very much for bringing those numbers. Just as they break this morning, we appreciate it a week. - Look at what's happening.
