Donald Trump is crashing out in the Oval Office right now after it has been l...

Trump and Vladimir Putin spoke for 90 minutes, and during that phone called Vladimir Putin

warned Donald Trump, and if you and Netanyahu invade Iran again, there will be catastrophic

consequences now Donald Trump is in the Oval Office bashing NATO. He's confusing Iran with Ukraine, and saying that the United States destroyed 159 ships of Ukraine. Let's go through what's happening piece by piece. Then we also heard from President

Zelensky as well, and I'll share with you what he had to say, powerful words indeed,

where he goes after J.D. Vance and Donald Trump. So we learned through Russian media, not through the White House at all, but through Russian media that there was a phone call today between Donald Trump, and Putin this morning, it lasted 90 minutes, and the content of the phone call was provided in a readout to toss, which is the Russian media, Putin told Trump in a phone call that he foresees extremely harmful consequences, if the US and Israel attack Iran again,

calling any ground operation or invasion, extremely dangerous and unacceptable. Now this follow Donald Trump, having a phone call with Barack Revede at Axios, who is basically

Donald Trump's stenographer and chief propagandist, other than of course, Trump's in-house

propagandist Caroline Levitt, and Donald Trump told Barack Revede earlier this morning during a 15-minute call that sent com has a plan for a short resumption of strikes to include on Iranian infrastructure with the goal of bringing Iran back to the negotiating table through another short term opening of hostilities again, Donald Trump told Axios he will keep the naval blockade in place as well, as Ryan Grimm explains. Trump very publicly has said

that he thought his initial strikes would last only a few days, and the regime would fall or he'd get negotiating leverage. He expressed extreme surprise when that didn't happen. Being wrong

then is one thing, doing the exact same thing again two months later, and still thinking the same

thing is so monumentally stupid, I can't even get my head around it. Iran has said if the U.S. attacks again, they're going to go bananas on us and our allies. Does Trump even know they promise that and also, over the weekend, Donald Trump promised that the Iranian oil pipelines were going to explode today, based on all of the pressure within the pipelines caused by the naval blockade, meanwhile Russia's envoy to the United States, one of their top ambassadors

a guy by the name of Caril Dimitri of he's just mocking the United States right now on his social media post. He writes just in President Putin and President Trump held constructive phone calls,

also discussing potential U.S. Russia, economic and energy cooperation. So that's what Donald

Trump was focused on while attacking NATO while potentially resuming the open hostilities in Iran. While we now have our markets tanking as a result of Donald Trump's conduct, Donald Trump talking about economic cooperation with Putin, while Putin morning Donald Trump don't you dare do any more ground invasions. The results will be catastrophic and Trump's like, "Yes, sir, yes, sir. We're going to just keep our naval blockade," the naval blockade is genius. Now going to the

oval office, so Trump has that call with Putin, then all of Putin's attacks on Ukraine and Donald Trump and Putin plotting against Ukraine. That's on Donald Trump's mind. So in Trump holds this oval office press conference where I think the purpose of it was to trot out the heroic astronauts and use them as props behind him as Donald Trump does with like sports teams in order to spread Donald Trump's propaganda and fascism.

Donald Trump confuses Ukraine with Iran and says that he thinks that Ukraine has been militarily defeated and they had only 159 ships that are all at the bottom of the sea. Here play this clip. That's interesting question. You know coming from you, that's very interesting. Which war would

end first? I don't know. Maybe they're on a similar time table. I think Ukraine militarily

think it's going to be hard for them to make a naval comeback. Okay. Now they have an air force. Every one of their plans has been shut down or has been decimated. They have missiles about 82% are gone and they have drones and most of them are gone, most of the factories are mostly gone. Then Donald Trump says that the blockade, which is a blockade of the

Straight over her moves already being essentially blockaded and closed, Trump...

pure genius. He says now all we need to run to do is cry uncle. That's Donald Trump's strategy

folks. He's doing nuggies. Donald Trump's strategy is nuggies. Cryonkel, cryonkel. We have the single dumbest human being and most dangerous human being in the awful office cryonkel. You're play this clip. Well, the blockade is genius. Okay. The blockade is 100% full. If it shows how good our Navy is, I can tell you that nobody's in a play games. We have the greatest military in the world that I built much of it during my first term and we've been building

it since and the greatest anywhere in the world, nobody even close. And you see that, every whether it's Venezuela, which and they have a good military in Venezuela, but it was over one day, it was actually over in about 48 minutes. Around the same thing. I mean, military, we've wiped them out. They have no military left. They're at all the Navy's at the bottom

of the sea. The Air Force is never going to fly again. We've got an amazing military. Now they

have to cryonkel. That's all they have to do. Just say, we give up. We give up. And then throughout this oval office press conference, this disaster after Donald Trump spoke with Putin for 90 minutes and got that warning from Putin. Donald Trump started saying, you know, King Charles told me that he would have helped me in the straight of our moves, but it was just that pesky NATO. So Trump attacks NATO as a paper tiger. And then once again,

he confuses Iran with Ukraine. And he's like, NATO would not help us on Ukraine. We want it to, we need to help there. And NATO didn't do anything. What are you talking about here play this clip?

Well, you have to say my thinking is, I think, exactly correct, but I was very disappointed

with the fact that when we called on them to give us a little hand, we didn't need it. I actually didn't just to see whether or not that mean that when we called on NATO to give us a hand with Ukraine and in particular the most recent, you know, we, we asked them to do certain things on Ukraine. And we also wanted them to do things with Iran. And on Ukraine, they're very much involved, but they didn't do things away. We would like to see, you know, it's been going on for a long time.

And on Iran, they weren't there. As you know, you know, it better than anybody. They weren't there. The King is fantastic. We spent a lot of time together. We had a lot of talk. We talked about this also. And he loves his country. And he's a great king. And he's a great friend of mine. And I think if he were doing that, if that were up to him, he would have probably helped us with the red. He would have done. He would have followed the suggestions we made with respect to Ukraine.

Because, you know, we have some disagreements on Ukraine. Then Donald Trump is like, yeah, you know, we had to go after James Komi, former FBI director,

because when he said 86, that's a mob term. You ever watched the movies?

86 is the way mobsters say you got to kill people. So you brought a criminal case against the former FBI director for a social media post involving seashells on the beach. That says 8647 whereas 86 means it's a restaurant term. Get rid of, push somebody out, not allow them in. Because you watch a mob movies and they also use the term 86. That's where we are. Maybe just go back to the indigese Donald here play this clip.

I'm busy. We're this morning. James Komi was in court. He self surrendered. He's now in charge

a second time. This time over a student social media post with seashells that said 8647.

Do you really think that he was in danger in your life or threatening your life with that? Well, if anybody knows anything about crime, you know, 86, you know, in 86. It's a mob term for killer. You know, you ever see the movies 86 them. The mobster says to one of his

wonderful associates 86 them. That means killer. I think of it as a mob term. I know people

think of it as something or having to do with disappearing. But the mob uses that term to say whether they want to kill somebody. They say 86 the son of again. I'm trying to keep the language nice and clear. They don't use that term son of again. He's another term. But that's a mob term for killer. Yeah. Then Donald Trump says that he believes that he could be an astronaut because of what great physical shape he is. And I saw somebody say, you know, maybe 10 years ago in

Trump would behave this way to some people. It would be enduring. But knowing that Donald Trump is actually a psychopath who truly believes that he could be an astronaut right now and that he's actually in good physical health makes this both depressing and psychotic. You're play this clip.

Ask like we're very proud of these people.

a lot of other things, too. By the way, to get in there, you have to be very smart, have to do a lot of things physically good. So I would have had no trouble making it, and physically very, very good. Maybe a little bit of a problem. I'm sure we'll have to try some. He's a president allowed to go up in one of these missions. We can get working on that. We have no problem, right? The last more rockets. The opportunity to go up the trail.

And then Donald Trump turns to Jared Isaacman, who's got really big years just objectively. And when Donald Trump couldn't hear the question that was being asked to Trump, Trump turns to Isaacman, who's the, who's the head of NATO. It was the head of NASA. And Donald Trump's like, look at those ears. Are you able to hear that question with those big ears of yours? Yes. Donald Trump humiliates our country every single day. Here, play this clip.

Are you considering our bookings and NASA's headquarters out of DC seems like forward to Texas and Ohio have expressed interest? You're going to have to say it in a different way. Sorry. Are you considering relocating NASA's headquarters out of DC once the lease is up,

states like Texas, Ohio? Well, this land is telling you that is amazing, but over here,

you heard that question with those beautiful ears of yours. He's got great hearing, you know,

super, he's got super hearing. Trick or the train, sir. And I, what's the answer to it?

Let me tell you, if there's a surefire way to wake up feeling fresh after drinks with friends, it's with pre-alcohol. Zbiotics pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink alcohol, it gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. It's a build-up of this byproduct, not dehydration. That's to blame for rough days after drinking.

Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just remember to make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night, drink responsibly, and you'll feel your best tomorrow. Look, I won't lie. I was a bit on the fence about pre-alcohol initially, but then while hanging out with some friends at my local bar, I gave it a shot and believe me, it's the real deal. March is a marathon of social events, from the slopes to the bracket watch parties to

Guinness on St. Patrick's Day. Pre-alcohol is the tool you need to fully enjoy the end of winter.

And Donald Trump didn't realize that the Supreme Court even made a ruling on the Voting Rights Act until a reporter asked him a question.

You're playing this clip. In line of today's Supreme Court ruling on the Voting Rights Act, do you want Republican states of the South to look at redal drawing, congressional districts before? I don't even know how to tell you what did the ruling come out. I've been with the astronauts. I've been with contractors because we're trying to get the ballroom built.

Yeah. I had a schedule. It's right on schedule. It's a head of schedule now when I keep it done. And I was also with commissioning some people, but one of the, you know, David Warrington's

son. I don't even know David, everybody knows David. He's got this incredible son.

So he was just sworn. And so we had a thing. Tell me about the, what happened? Well, something that the ruling creates more Republican health, congressional seats in the South. That's good. Yeah. That's a kind of ruling. I like when did that happen? Well, something wrong with the law. Really? Is that right? You tell me about the ruling? Well, I don't want to see an end of David.

And then Donald Trump says it's because people like James Kome that he feels that his life is threatened

all the time. That's what a snowflake this guy is. Here play this clip. Do you really think your leg was in danger? Because probably, I don't know. You know, based on based on what I'm seeing at the, yeah, the people like Kome have created tremendous danger. I think for politicians and others. He, you know, Kome is a dirty cop. He's a very dirty cop. He cheated on the elections. He tried to help Hillary Clinton as, you know, he dismissed a lot of

things that he should have preceded with. I wasn't involved, but he should have preceded it with. Now, he's a dirty cop. He's a crooked man. Yeah, so we're hearing from President Zelensky as well.

Here's what Zelensky had to say regarding JD Vance. Let's hear that interview from Zelensky

from this morning. Let's play it. Who has support to Ukraine dropped by 99% in 2025? And Vice President JD Vance recently said that he was most proud of ending military aid to

Your country.

I think that's our union between United States and Ukraine. In their quickest way,

how to make this strongest forces in the world. We have to strengthen each other, not to find

way how to stop support or not to stop support. So big investment from the United States and Europeans at the very beginning of the war helped us, technologically increase and be unique now. One of the strongest armist technologically strongest armist in the world. So take this experience. I'm not agree with the Vice President. We are open. We are not enemies. Russia is enemies and they

are close and they will be always enemies with the United States called war, hot war, god bless,

no war, but they are not allies. And if Vice President is proud that he is not palping us. It's been that he is helping Russians. And I'm not sure that it's sensing, I'm not sure that it's sensing United States. No. No. To have Russians as friends, I'm not sure that it's from positions. And then we got the latest

polling data out. You know, Reuters, Epsos has Donald Trump's approval at 34%, AP North has

Trump's approval at 33% when you go to like standard of living that Reuters poll has Trump's approval at like 20% when you go to the economy and that AP North Trump's approval is 30% I mean, way worse than Biden, way worse than Jimmy Carter, worse than Nixon at the time of Nixon's resignation. Watch how Harry entered breaks down some of the latest numbers as it relates to the public's view of Donald Trump on inflation where Donald Trump promised on day one he would solve

inflation. He would make prices less, he said. Okay, but here play this clip. Yeah, it is the number one issue, the number one issue, it's the number one financial issue, it's the number one issue, folks saying it's facing their families right now. And Donald John Trump is in the worst position he has ever been on inflation. And more than these are the worst numbers I've ever seen for any president. I mean, just look at this, look at this, according to Epsos, look at this,

net approval rate on inflation. We got the latest poll out, he's 49 points underwater. That means that 49% more of the public disapproved than the proof of the job he's doing. I went back,

you remember Joe Biden inflation absolutely crushed his presidency. But at his worst according to

Epsos, he was just 43 points underwater. So Trump is lower now on inflation than Joe Biden ever was according to Epsos. And I will note that the inflation right right now is only about

a third as it was back in June of 2022. Yep, Trump's numbers are significantly worse than Biden's

everywhere. Even though inflation was like a 9% this month, they still think Trump is doing a worse job on it than Biden ever was. Correct. That is staggering. Okay. So when you think of president's inflation, the one that comes to mind is Jimmy Carter. That was one inflation was really stratospheric. So how does Trump compare to Carter on those numbers? Yeah, these are really stunning numbers right here. But what about James or a Carter, right? You think of inflation as

Johnny B was talking about. You think about inflation, sinking presidency. You think of Jimmy Carter. But just look here. Okay. If we look right now, we're talking about net improvements on inflation. This number should actually be 46%. 40 minus 46. And if you look at this though, even if I raise it a little bit and I correct my error right here live on air, we're talking about minus 46 points versus minus 49 points. Donald Trump is in worse position on inflation. The Jimmy Carter

was what of course Carter then got blown out by Ronald Reagan back in 1980. So where do Americans think this is headed? In terms of the cost of living. Yeah. Okay. See a CD's bad numbers and take a look here. Look at this on cost of living countries on the wrong track or right track. Look at this among independence. 75%. 75% say the wrong track just 9% say the right track. Look among Republicans. The plurality of Republicans say that the country is on the wrong track when it comes

to the cost of living versus just 39% 45 versus 39. Donald Trump is lost every single part of this electorate. And when you take his name out of the equation and see even the plurality of Republicans say that the country is there you have and everybody let me know what you think.
