Hello everybody, I'm John Foster with this Great America Show midday update for Friday, March 6th.

00:00:33.520
And the attacks and the bombardment and the bombs keep on dropping in Iran, as they should until Iran decides they want to come to the table.

President Trump has already taken actions against Cuba, including an oil embargo and threatening tariffs on any country that provides oil to Cuba through an executive order.
00:00:54.160
President Trump spoke to CNN's Dana Bash this afternoon, where he said Cuba is going to fall pretty soon, by the way.
00:01:02.540
They want to make a deal so badly that he's actually going to send over Marco Rubio.
00:01:07.100
Take a listen to President Trump and his conversation with Dana Bash.
00:01:17.380
He said, without being asked, Cuba is going to fall pretty soon, by the way.
00:01:29.720
So I'm going to put Marco over there and we'll see how that works.
00:01:33.380
But we're really focused on this one now, meaning Iran.
00:01:39.340
President Trump has sent a decisive message all around the world that America is not to be messed with.
00:01:44.720
And if you think you're going to get away, he's going to prove you wrong.
00:01:50.740
President Trump's numbers seem to be doing pretty good, at least according to CNN's Harry Enten.
00:01:56.160
Republicans love Donald Trump more than any president's own party supported in history.
00:02:03.920
Republicans love Donald Trump more than any president's own party supporters.
00:02:12.420
Okay, own party supporters, 21st century presidents, own party approval about at this point in the second term.
00:02:22.300
86% of Republicans approve of the job that Donald Trump is doing at this point.
00:02:28.080
That is higher than either Obama or Bush had within their own party at this point.
00:02:33.220
Trump's magic touch has not seemed to war off yet when it comes to the Republican base.
00:02:38.320
And what kind of approval are we talking about here?
00:02:39.980
Okay, so we're talking about overall approval here.
00:02:42.340
How about the strongly approved, the strongly approved, not just like, but love, love.
00:02:47.080
Okay, we're going to look at these same presidents again.
00:02:51.780
What you see here is Trump is the only one who gets a majority at this point in their presidency.
00:03:01.560
Not as high as the overall approval rating, but still getting a majority of the Republican base,
00:03:06.580
at least in the average of polls, to say that they still really, really, really like him.
00:03:11.860
Don't buy the fake media narrative, folks, that Trump is somehow losing or losing support or any of that good stuff.
00:03:21.560
And as you know, the fake polls, which we've all been victims of since 2016, just more fake news.
00:03:29.640
Now, President Trump, he's yet to issue an endorsement in that Texas Senate primary race,
00:03:35.400
which is highly contested between John Cornyn and Ken Paxson, the Attorney General.
00:03:40.800
President Trump says he wants to see the Save America Act on his desk before he makes any sort of endorsement in that race.
00:03:50.460
Now, Ken Paxson has offered to drop out of that race should they pass the Save Act and get rid of the filibuster.
00:03:57.940
A pretty selfless act, I think, on the part of the Attorney General of Texas,
00:04:02.140
who's been a staunch Trump supporter from day one, but willing to drop out of the race
00:04:07.340
in favor of getting President Trump's agenda through.
00:04:12.260
A federal judge this week ordering the Trump administration to refund $130 billion in tariffs.
00:04:18.880
U.S. Supreme Court recently struck down President Trump's tariffs in a 6-3 decision.
00:04:22.660
The Supreme Court said that President Trump does not have the authority to impose those tariffs under the IEPA.

00:04:28.840
You remember Justice Roberts, Coney Barrett, and Gorsuch siding with the three Marxist damn judges.
0.97
00:04:35.280
So, now we've got another Marxist damn judge who's telling President Trump that he's got to refund the money.
0.98
00:04:42.800
I don't think that's going to work out too well, and I expect this thing drags on for a few years.
