tical about the value of this all hands meeting, but I'm not now. I thought Hegseth did a stellar job. I thought he did a really good job. He got rid of the beards and the beardos. He called them the beardos. So anyway, good job Pete Hegseth. Then the president spoke and I'm going to echo something I believe Steve Bannon noticed too. Trump looked dangerously tired yesterday in at least two differ…

business model? Is there a reason that Pfizer wouldn't make the same deal available to both? I don't know. A lot of questions. We shall see.

Well, pollster Frank Luntz was on CNN and probably didn't give them the answer that they wanted. So, there's a new poll that says that Trump is losing quite a bit of support among groups that put him over the top like Hispanic voters and voters under 30. And I think Luntz was supposed to say, "Oh, now that Trump has lost all this support of these subgroups, you know, it's bad news for the midterms." Instead, he said, quote, about Trump, he should be concerned about it and the Democrats should be concerned because their numbers have dropped even further.

So the right answer is yeah, Trump lost support in a couple of groups, but not as much as the Democrats lost overall. And he even predicted that if you looked at history, the Democrats should take control of the House in the midterms. That would be based on history. That would be the typical most common normal thing that could happen. But he says, if he asked me who was in a better position talking about the midterms, I would say to you that history says the Democrats should win, but based on where things stand right now, you have to give Republicans the edge.

Do you know how bad your party has to be for you to lose the midterms when the party out of power pretty much automatically wins the midterms? I don't know. So, I'm not yet going to say that Republicans have a lock on the midterms because I don't believe that's the case. This really looks like a coin toss to me. I believe the Republicans could do well. That doesn't mean they will. And I believe the Democrats could do well because it's not a presidential race. And the Democrats will just say, "I like Democrats maybe." And if more of them go, if the Republicans don't show up, anything could happen.

Well, here's a delicious little story. Black Lives Matter is suing a Soros-backed group called Tides, Tides Foundation, because they think that the Tides Foundation had promised them $33 million that is now being distributed. So the lawsuit was filed last year, but the stakes were raised on Monday. I guess there's some other things happening that raised the stakes. So it's just funny that Black Lives Matter doesn't trust Soros organization and the Soros

organization doesn't trust them apparently enough to give them more money. So they're accusing the Tides Foundation of alleged deceptive business practices and egregious mismanagement of its money while demanding its return. Okay. So how much did you love that story that Black Lives Matter is suing a Soros-funded organization? All right. Here's another story you might appreciate. You may or may…
