I'm really proud of something. I was wondering if I could share it with you. I just got a review. And has there ever been a worse host than Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars? His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not and never can be. Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up but cheap ABC talent, George Slopinopoulos. He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous. Blah, blah, blah. Make America great again.

The panikins got it wrong again. Up 3%, up 3% better than expected. That would be the highest level since the third quarter of '24 when it was up 3.1%. On the consumption side, up 1.4, very close to estimates. Up 1.4 would be the best since the last quarter of '24. The economy is roaring, and we're a golden ticket away from the golden age. But the guy with the tickets is holding us hostage. 3% way better than expected. Too late must now lower the rate. '47 says too late. Jerome's costing the country a fortune. Each point that this gentleman keeps up costs us $365 billion a year. Think of that. 1.365 billion dollars. If you bring it down a point, we save 365. I call him too late. He's always too late. Even if he does it today, probably won't. For what reason? Nobody knows. So what did the Fed chair do? Nothing. In support of our goals, today the Federal Open Market Committee decided to leave our policy interest rate unchanged. Did this guy get hit in the head renovating the Fed? 3% growth, low unemployment, business investment booming, and inflation's only at 2.1%. 2.1%. And unlike Bidenomics, wages are growing faster than inflation. And also unlike Bidenomics, we're creating jobs for Americans, not illegals. Americans have gained 2 million jobs, and illegals have lost 500,000. And what do you know? The fruit's not dying on the vine. So what's Powell's excuse this time? He cut three times last year for Biden-Harris. And their inflation rate was higher than Trump's. It's got to be personal because he cut when he was told to by Pocahontas. He said he waited too long. And the best way you can show that you waited too long and that you get it and that you are becoming more responsive to where we are on interest rates is actually go ahead and do a nice big rate cut. Today, at the rate meeting, there was a mutiny. Two governors who won a cut voted against Jerome. That hasn't happened since 1993. Clinton hadn't even met Lewinsky yet. And it does show how Fed Chair Powell-- he's not just facing pressure from the White House to cut interest rates. He's also facing pressure from some of his colleagues inside this building. Chuck Schumer, who doesn't even know how to grill a burger, is accusing Trump of putting out fake numbers. While the Trump administration will try to waive rosy headlines about the Q2 number, today's GDP number is, in fact, a mirage. A mirage is when you see things that aren't there, like Joe Biden in the White House. The entire Democrat Party is a mirage. You take away USAID illegals and mail-in ballots, and there's no "they're there." Even CNBC panikins are mocking Chuck and Pocahontas. Senator Elizabeth Warren will come on and say, "Inflation's out of control, and the economy is getting killed by what's happening by these tariffs." This 3% with the market at new highs, and really, we haven't seen inflation. But none of these horrible things have happened, but they still talk like it's happening. It's amazing. There's an important lesson there. Don't pick a congressman to be your money manager. The Democrats, of course, as you pointed out, really don't want to see the current administration have some success. But there's no doubt that this is some success. Don't pick a congressman to be your money manager, except Pelosi. More on her later. The mainstream media is admitting that Trump is winning. Numbers don't lie, and the deals keep coming. We have just concluded a deal with the country of Pakistan, whereby Pakistan and the United States will work together on developing their massive oil reserves. We're going to drill baby drill in Pakistan after they harbored bin Laden, or as Obama says, Pakistan. And Trump says he just got a deal with South Korea. 15% tariff rate. They buy our energy and invest here in America, and they open up their whole market. POTUS is bringing the doubters on notice. Critics said that our tariffs would hurt the economy, but the data shows the exact opposite, and the exact opposite is happening. Foreign imports were down 30% in the second quarter, while the domestic auto production surged by a stunning 36%. How about that number, Dr. Oz, right? That's good. All the good news is making Democrats blow a fuse. Their attacks are falling flat. So they're turning on each other like the Real Housewives. Democratic Party needs a wake-up call. It's time for Democrats to have a backbone. It's time for us to fight. It's time for us to draw lines. Don't question my integrity. Don't question my motives. I'm standing for Jersey. I am standing for my police officers. I'm standing for the Constitution, and I'm standing for what's right. And dear God, if you want to come at me that way, you're going to have to take it up with me. Rules for men, control your emotions. You never see Trump loses cool, even when they arrested him and put him on trial. The great Paul Morrow quoted Ernest Hemingway on the five and said, "Don't confuse movement with action." Democrat Dan Turrentine rhymes with wine, agrees. - You have Booker who keeps giving angry speeches, right? He doesn't do anything. He doesn't offer anything. He just screams fights. So he's the hysteria caucus right now. - Democrats were texting reporters during Spartacus's screed that they were rhymes with hiss. They were calling him a theater kid and an attention rhymes with door. - There's a way to change a bill. And then there's a way to get in the opening segment of "Morning Joe" and on the front page of the New York Times. And Cory chose the latter rather than the former. - Cory's my Senator and all he does is yell at me. If that's all it takes, then we might as well elect Jessica Tarlov. Just like Mayor Pete's beard, this isn't working. With guys like Booker, Beto and Buttigieg getting in cat fights with Amy Klobuchar, no wonder Democrats feel like they don't have any men in their party. According to a new survey, they can't name a single Democrat more masculine than Barack Obama. Barry, who crosses his legs and is glad he never had a son. That Barry, who said boys should stop playing sports and take their gay friend to the theater. That Barry. So Democrats are forced to role play. Swalwell's hitting the weights and now he's calling out Gutfeld, quote, "Here's a deal for Gutfeld. The deal, if tough guy benches more than me for 10 reps, I'll leave Congress. If not, he leaves Fox News. I'll give Greg 48 hours to accept and then I'm calling him Gutlisfeld." Gutfeld's an old man, Congressman, take it easy on him. Democrats are like little orphanannies. Their father got cooed and disappeared into Delaware and now their mom left home. Kamala just made a big announcement, quote, "After deep reflection, I've decided that I will not run for governor in this election. For now, my leadership and public service will not be an elected office." Hunter Biden, when reached for comment, told us, "That's interesting. Kamala is not running because she was gonna lose. Donors weren't giving and she was gonna have to run a tough primary. So to save face, she's gonna sit on her keister in California and nag Doug. Since mommy and daddy are out of the picture, Democrats are gonna have to grow up the hard way. Screaming, singing and dancing won't make you into a man. First, they should try crushing deals and drives. - Did you get to see my driver in the first hole? - You hit it straight in the hole. - I did, pretty long, pretty long. That's no Joe Biden, let me tell ya. That's not Biden, right? That was a good drive.

Well, you have Ruben Gallego out of Arizona and then Gonzalez out of Texas, and now just recently John Kerry saying, "The Democrats have got it wrong, but this is a day late and a dollar short." President Trump right now is having to fix a crisis that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' borders are created. These deportations would not be happening, and ICE would not have to be in sanctuary cities had Kamala Harris done her job on the border. So the Democrats now are correcting because President Trump won a landslide election and dominated, especially among Latin voters, Hispanic voters. He was in near parity to Kamala Harris. So at this point, the Democrats are re-strategizing because they've lost and they're going to continue to lose on this issue that President Trump has dominated on.

-I just want to say a very special hello to Iowa. We have had a good time for that. I'm thrilled to be back in the state that I love, and I really do love it, too, with thousands of proud, hardworking patriots at the world-famous Iowa State Fairgrounds. -165 days into the Trump administration, America is on a winning streak like, frankly, nobody's ever seen before in the history of the nation. The one big, beautiful bill will deliver the strongest border on Earth, the strongest economy on Earth, the strongest military on Earth, and ensure the United States of America will remain the strongest country anywhere on this beautiful planet of ours. So, as we chart our course for the next 250 years, let us rededicate ourselves to one nation under God. -USA! USA! USA! USA!

We're at the one yard line in this game that's been played over a year really. We worked on this for about 14 months to get us to this point. We're going to run it right up the middle and score for the American people. And I tell you what, everybody is going to benefit from this bill. Sean, as you noted, all those features. It's the most conservative piece of legislation we've ever worked on. You need to mention at the same time that even though while we're having historic tax cuts, we also have historic savings. We're going to save 1.6 trillion dollars for the American people. We're going to cut down the size and scope of government, make it more efficient, make it work better for the people. They demand to deserve that and the Republicans are delivering. So this is a vehicle. Let's also remember that this is just a step in a sequence of events. We are intending to do more reconciliation work. You can do a reconciliation budget for each fiscal year. So the plan is to do one in the fall for the FY26 budget year. And then we can also squeeze in a third one for FY27 before this Congress is up. At the same time, we're going to be passing rescissions packages from the White House to save more money and spending less on appropriations. We will get the government back to fiscal sanity and we are the party to do it.

His week of wins that he had last year were so extraordinary, and for those of us who would love to see Donald Trump on Mount Rushmore, he made the deal. He made the case last week. It was absolutely extraordinary. You start Monday, he arranges ceasefire between Israel and Iran. On Tuesday, he drives plans for NATO allies to ramp up their defense spending so that we don't have any more wars. On Wednesday, he confirms talks with Iran for next week. Thursday, all these companies, not with federal regulation, but just by talking about it, all of these private companies like Nestle joins a growing list of companies to implement the Maha practices where they get rid of these artificial dyes. Friday, Supreme Court makes it far more difficult for these lower court judges to put in these injunctions, these wacky injunctions that make the rest of the country suffer for what some random federal court judge nobody's ever heard of puts into place. And then on Saturday, he manages to get his big, beautiful bill passed through. And don't forget, Charlie, the stock market hit a record high as well.

Iran, throughout, since this conflict began, we've been talking to them about having some sort of peaceful settlement. And Iran's one caveat has always been that Israel had to stop its campaign. And once Israel fulfilled its objective, which they did, and once the United States fulfilled its objective, which it did, the total destruction of the enrichment capacity of the Iranian state, then the president was able to go to both parties and get a ceasefire done. And by the way, the proof is in the pudding. No one's shooting at each other. It's over.

We have a great military. There's no woke in our military. I got rid of that getting rid of woke in our schools, our military and just in our society was very that's one of the things I did. People, you're not seeing woke anymore. You're seeing it. It's almost it almost became illegal. Yes, it's it was horrible for this country. It was it was a curse on our country. And all it took was for you to just say it's it's rubbish. Yes, it was rubbish. It was garbage. It was sick. Yeah, yeah, transgender for everyone. All of this stuff. And it was killing our country. No, our country's back. We're really back. You know, we have the hottest country in the world right now.

Look at that, it should be a lot more than a green check mark, huh? Fireworks should be going off around that 51% of the vote for Donald Trump vanquishing. I mean, totally destroying his opponents. Now there are many, many, many reasons for that. And one of them is this guy. You want to say something, come on, go up, say something. Well, I'll tell you, I had to actually do a TV interview bragging about you. The reason why I was late was because of that, but is he awesome or what? I am honored to be the first person in the United States to endorse this guy. The next president, the 47th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump. It was a great moment. One of the very first people Donald Trump acknowledged after that amazing victory was our next guest. You just saw him right there, State Senator Brad Zahn, Republican of Iowa. Welcome, sir. And I think we got to get you into the US Senate, not just the State Senate. How are you? I'm doing great. It's an honor to be on your program, Greg. Well many thanks. And look, I was, you know, at first I couldn't tell, wait, wait, wait, is this, yes. You were the first, the first office holder to endorse in 2015. You did it, I think, in October, is that right? I can't recall the exact time. Basically it was 2016, was the year that he was running the first time and just, you know, he called me and asked me if he, that I would, you know, endorse him and I had to meet with him and ask him a few questions before that happened. But he obviously answered all the questions that I thought were important to me. And I just love him because he's tough and he's a successful businessman and I was so proud to be able to, you know, endorse him at that time. I'm proud to endorse him this time. And he's become a good friend and I just, you know, like I've had many conversations with him. I want him to make America great again. I love it. Now again, when you made that endorsement, no other office holder, no other Republican office, everybody was still trying to figure out who is this guy. They wanted them to go away. He wasn't going away. You're the very first one. How much heat did you get from the Republican Party for doing what you did? Well, I think, yeah, I did get some heat. I still get a lot. I got a lot of hate mail today, but it's overwhelming. People were very interested in him. He was someone different. You know, when I first started going to those rallies, what really was amazing to me is there was so many new people that have never been a part of the process, a lot of blue collar people. And there was something special there. And he's the person that just tells it the way it is. And I think that was refreshing because we just don't have anybody. I don't know that there's anybody in the United States that can do what he does and put up with what he puts up with. It is amazing to watch. And I agree with you. So you spoke about him last night after that amazing victory, and he spoke about you. Let's take a look at that. But we have really the support of the people of Iowa, which has been just incredible. Another man who was actually the first person to endorse me in the entire country. He's a state senator. His name is Brad Zahn. He looks like he's the most handsome guy, I think. Oh, you made it. He had a drive from his caucus location. You made it. I call him the Marlboro Man. And when he says endorsed, we're really talking about 2015. He endorsed me before, actually, long before I knew I was going to run. I said, who's this man in Iowa? He's a senator, a state senator. He's a good looking guy, too. Doesn't he look you could pay him and give him a lot of money? Great stuff. I don't agree with that. I'm going to be blind or have some eyesight problems. Were you surprised at all by the margin of victory? I was with the president earlier in the day, and he was trying to get up with some kind of prediction. I knew that it was going to be a record, and obviously it was a big record. I wasn't really surprised. I mean, people, there's something special about him. Humans are common sense people, and he just really touched the cord with so many people here. He did spend a lot of time here. I can tell you that the organization, from a ground perspective, was night and day compared to what it was four years ago. So kudos to all the people that were on the ground here in the state of Iowa, and most importantly to all the Iowans that came out in a cold, snowy night to support him. All right, you can read Iowa, you can caucus with the best of them. You know that state. State Senator Brad Zahn, have you thought about higher office, and have you thought about joining a Trump cabinet? If there is one, I think there's going to be. Why not? What are you thinking? I told him no. I'm not interested. I don't want to live in the swamp. I don't want to live in Washington, D.C. I'm certainly very honored to be a state senator from Iowa and the president pro tem. We've done a lot of great things in the state of Iowa, and that's what I want to continue to do. Can I see the video of you on stage last night? One more time. We're going to roll that, and I do have a question as we look at that. Did you get a haircut? Did you get a haircut since then? No, I haven't got a haircut. It's just that lighting probably makes me look bad, but no, I haven't got a haircut already. I know, I tell you, I was wearing a cowboy hat the day before because he calls me the Marlboro Man, and I showed up at one of the rallies dressed as a Marlboro Man. Great stuff. Great stuff. Well, state senator Brad Zahn, Republican of Iowa there, District 22. That's just north of Des Moines, right? That is correct. The northwest suburbs and the northern part of the city of Des Moines. All right. Continue success, and be seeing you. Who knows where? I have a feeling you're going to be on Team Trump in Washington. We'll see. Thank you, sir. We'll see. Thank you. We'll see you later. Be right back. Thank you.

Total victory, amazing, amazing. 30 points on top, the fake news against him, half the Republican establishment, the judicial system. He's been arrested, and he wins by 30 points. I think it's totally amazing. I feel very, very good about the future, don't you? And look at who's gone. Basically everybody, all right? How many? Pence is gone. Christie and the rest of them now, Nikki and Oran. More on them in a moment. Can we see the margin? It was what? 51% to 21% to 19%. Look at that. How many points is that? 30 points. A margin of 30 points Donald Trump won by. That is just incredible. It is the ultimate political achievement. One of them. I mean, they should be writing books about this, but I notice everybody wants to move on. Oh, the story is now New Hampshire. New Hampshire, New Hampshire, New Hampshire. He broke records, okay? The last guy to beat the competition by, well, this was a record at one point. George W. Bush in 2000 beat somebody by 10 points, and he became a juggernaut. There's no stopping Bush. Let's see, after 10 points, Bob Dole in 1988, they were swooning when he beat, forgot who he beat, oh, I know, George H.W. Bush, who actually came in third place. Look, it's a big deal. It should be maximized, not minimized, and how do they do it? Well, a lot of different ways, okay? There's a lot that goes into politics, but I'm gonna talk about what I could see, all right? With my own eyes, my ears, Donald Trump went out there and talked to the people and did it relentlessly. Now, oh, he didn't go to Iowa as much as he should have, or as much as the others. Well, number one, he doesn't have a problem with name recognition, right? We know who he is. Whether the speech is in Texas or Nebraska, it really doesn't matter. And he could actually fill an hour and a half with policy ideas, with detailed and sometimes funny critiques of his opponents, the media, back to policy, his record. You know, other candidates, Republican and Democrat alike, they can't do that. And I don't think they wanna do it. They have a crutch, kind of like props. Check it out. - It was my mother, Catherine Eugenia Finnegan-Biden from Scranton would say, "Why not hush up "and take any questions y'all have?" Fire away, raise your hand. - I'll take questions from Republicans. I'll take questions from Democrats. I'll take questions from independents. That's why I do them. I've done them for months. I will take questions from every person. - All right, that's nice, but you know, you're leading and there's something about telling people, you know? This is where I'm coming from, I don't know. There's a little bit too much reliance on, let me talk to you, because sometimes they don't have that much to say, it's all about money, it's all about perks. Trump, his average event, how long would it last? 90 minutes, and you know what? Those events were full of policy, all right? I mean, this stuff, what does Biden talk about? He talks about January 6th and how we gotta be afraid of MAGA, okay? Look at this, this is, these are real issues that affect real people. All right, and when he wasn't on the stump, he was making those videos, which are very effective. - We're headed down a very dangerous path. When I'm back in the White House, I will immediately unleash energy production slash regulations like I did just three years ago, and repeal Biden's tax hikes to get inflation down as fast as possible. - You know, it's substance. Far more substance than the media want to engage in. It's all who endorsed who, and oh, what was the fundraising total last month? And all that kind of stuff. This is about ideas. And it reminds me of another very successful Republican president when he was running for president. - To preserve our peace and our freedom, we must maintain a margin of safety. Not numerical superiority in arms and armament, but a margin of safety that is a combination, a balance of a strong economy, mutual respect and unity among our great allies, and a revitalized, up-to-date military capability. History has taught us only too well. The tyrants are tempted only when the forces of freedom are weak. - Very simple, straight to camera. Ideas, not fooling us with a bunch of gimmicks or anything like that. Reagan did it, Trump does it. This new generation, the younger generation, Nikki Haley, likes to brag about how young she is. How about just telling the truth, Nikki? Try that, that's good, no matter how old you are. (audience applauding) - I can safely say, tonight, I will make this Republican primary a two-person race. (audience cheering) - What is that? Two-person race? Well, you came in third place. She came in third place, right? Yeah, behind us, Antis, it was close, but there she is, all the way down, two-person race. I don't know, I think that's kind of unfair. I know that Beltway tells you all this stuff about the amount of money that Ron spent and all that. Let me look at the map, the big map. How many counties did Trump win? 98 or so? And one county for Nikki, she wouldn't buy one vote. I would be polishing my quitting speech, okay? I think she should, well, anyway. There is still New Hampshire. Ron DeSantis did not have a great night, all right? I know that. Let's face it, he's just not good at campaigning. I don't know what it is. If I went to Harvard and Yale and Princeton and Oxford and all those places, I would have a bit more confidence on the stump, and I wouldn't be relying on this kind of trickery. - Thanks for coming out to caucus. I'm proud to have visited all 99 counties in Iowa, listening to your concerns, and answered your questions. We're doing all 99 counties in Iowa, 'cause this caucus demands that you earn it, and you gotta go meet the folks. We did the 99, now we need caucus night the victory. God bless. - Turns out going to all 99 counties is a waste of time. You don't have to do that anymore with technology. You know who does this stuff? Chuck Schumer, Chuck Schumer. This turned me off to the whole see every county in the state thing. - One of the things I'm best known for in New York is my commitment to visit all 62 counties every year. This year we celebrated our silver anniversary, the 25th year of visiting every one of the 62 counties. - Who cares? I've been in New York for, I was born here, I've lived here a long time. I don't know how many, 63 counties, 62 counties, can I see the counties? I don't recognize any of them. I know my home county, I know New York City, I know Suffolk, I know about six upstate counties. People just don't look at the world this way, the way politicians do. And in Iowa, I bet it's the same way. People tell me, oh no, you don't know Iowa. We're not like that, we know all, nobody does. Nobody does, it's not a big deal. Hey, this is a big deal though. How the people of Iowa think about issues. Not all 99 counties, let's take a look at this. They call these entrance polls. 66% say Biden was not legitimately elected in 2020. I have concerns about the fairness of the 2020 election. You're allowed to do that. And maybe if they had, well, not rejected some of those cases based on flimsy standing issues, it could have been more adequately aired and people would feel more confident. But how about that for a number? Next please, 40% say immigration is the most important issue. Gotcha, totally. And 35% say the economy is the most important issue. We heard almost nothing about January 6th. Nothing, no one's interested. Everybody knows, everybody's finding out what really happened. All right, New Hampshire is next week.

>> No matter which way you split it, or splice it, or cut it, or dice it, President Trump is the dominant force in the Republican Party. He is the leader of the Republican Party. He vanquished all his opponents beautifully last evening. And there's no way that they could spin this, they could point to whatever exit poll, whatever stupid factoid, whatever dumb little piece of data they want. They spent $40 million to come in a distant second place. They visited 99 counties not to win a single county. This is an embarrassment, this is a massive electoral loss for Ron DeSantis and his entire grifting consultant-driven, Beltway-approved campaign. It's a disaster. Now, going forward, the only saving grace for the likes of Nikki Haley, you alluded to in places like New Hampshire, is the fact that open primaries are states that have very easy, party registration rules, same-day party registration rules could potentially help them. But with Vivek dropping out, again, it was brilliant that Trump took a punch at Vivek, burst his hand, he bowed out. This is called playing politics smart. Now all those votes will now be rallying behind President Trump going into New Hampshire. That's still going to be a win for him. It's usually a strange state normally, so it won't really make a big difference. South Carolina, she's going to get embarrassed, she's going to lose on her home state that she served as the governor of. Nevada is going to be Trump, you know, territory times 10. And then you go into Super Tuesday and the rest of the states and everyone's going to continue to get embarrassed. So let them get embarrassed, let them make fools of themselves. It's only going to be better for MAGA, it's only going to serve as more momentum, more morale boosting. And I'm here for it. If they want to destroy their careers and reputations, let them, let all these people destroy their careers and reputations and go down with the disinking ship, as we can call it, because Trump is not going anywhere, he's going to be our nominee. And honestly, Jack, I think he's going to be our next president, and I say that with a certain degree of confidence that we haven't seen in many years coming out of, you know, the electoral prognosis online and elsewhere.
