Kudlow, im larry kudlow. An historic election victory by former President Donald Trump last night on super tuesday. He is now poised to be the republican president ial standardbearer for an husband tore rick third time. He could also make history by being the first president to win, then lose, then win again since Grover Cleveland in 1892. South dakota governor kristi noem will join us, talk about how success will bring the Republican Party and the entire country together in unity. Senior house member, Steve Scalise and jim jordan will talk about drill, baby, drill, fighting inflation and a second round of trump tax cuts. And then david bossie, charlie hurt and Katie Pavlich weigh in on the fate of nikki haley. Why republicans are more united than democrats and donald trump is going to take his campaign all around the country. But, first up, our very own the great Edward Lawrence live at the white house with all the details on tuesdays history and it was interesting, edward, it really was. Reporter it was obviously a huge win for the former President Donald Trump. Nikki haley won one state on super tuesday. She did bow out of the race now. She did not endorse the former president but offered this advice instead, listen. It is now up to donald trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him and i hope he does that. At its best poll ticks is about bringing people into your cause, not turning them away and our conservative cause badly needs more people. Reporter immediately after this announcement, Senate Minority leader Mitch Mcconnell endorsed, bringing some old conservative guard into the trump plant. I want to be clear there is a place for them in my campaign, i know there is not a lot we agree on but the fundamental issues of preserving american democracy, standing up for the rule of law and treating each other with decency and dignity and respect on preserving nato and standing up to americas adversaries i hope and believe we can find some common ground. The new line from the democrats now is both candidates are old and america should choose the one to protect democracy. Questions about the president S Mental Health linger. I touched a nerve yesterday, listen to this. Why does the president rely so heavily on note cards. Youre upset because the president has note cards. Youre asking me a question about the president having note kurds . Im asking why the president has had a, probably one of the most success if you recall three first year of an administration than any modernday president. Reporter but she did not answer the question as why he relies so heavily on those note cards, larry . Larry edward, is anybody asking about like why biden didnt appear last night . I mean he after all won the democratic primaries but nobody saw him. You know, kind of goes back to the super bowl. Nobody saw him there too but i would expect to him to hear from him last night. We never saw him. Reporter we heard he was working on the speech, state of the Union Address at camp david. He came back here. He was again, nothing on his public schedule today. Yesterday he had the Community Conference that he met, talking about his Community Involvement there but no, nothing on in terms of the president coming out late last night. Obviously getting some rest before today and rest before the state of the Union Address. Theyre putting, theyre razzing expectations for that address here at the white house which is very interesting for this president. Anything less than perfect this president may be seen as a ding against him but well have to see what happens. Clearly theyre making sure he is prepared for thursday and not doing anything to upset that. Larry all right, very interesting, Edward Lawrence as always, great stuff. We appreciate it so much. Now folks, couple extra thoughts from me. Not enough that donald trump romped to victory in 14 out of 15 super tuesday primary states last night. He will wrap up the gop nomination in a couple of weeks and really, year or two ago, wait a second, a year or three ago, no one, virtually no one honestly expected any of this to happen. Its a comeback, its a comeback for the ages. Remember he also won crushing victories in iowa and New Hampshire and South Carolina and michigan before last night. So, no, its not enough for pundits to keep trying to chip away at the former president s achievement by getting into this dog chases tail argument about unifying the Republican Party. Of course he will unify the Republican Party. He said so last night. In his speech last evening at maralago, and he said i will quote, we want to have unity and were going to have unity and its going to happen very quickly. And then his money line, and im going to quote again, and i have been saying lately success will bring unity to our country, end quote. That is just so important. Now with all respect to nikki haleys voter totals they were disproportionally not republican voters. It has always been a small sliver of sort of remaining mitt romney, john mccain, gop establishment that never liked donald trump in the first place and certainly trump will reach out once again even to that sliver, count on it but for the broader electorate, the New York Times sienna poll showed those voted for mr. Trump in 2020, 97 expect to vote for him again this year which is a huge number. Of those that voted for biden in 2020, only 83 expect to vote for him again. So if anything, kind of look like it is joe biden who has a unity problem, especially when you analyzed Democratic Party primaries, democrats not voting for biden, well you know, they ranged from 36 New Hampshire, 29, minnesota 19, and michigan, 17, in massachusetts and on and on, it is a very, very big number. Then Newt Gingrich writes today that the new Trump Coalition is breaking up the old franklin d. Roosevelt Democratic Coalition of minorities, jews, working following the and small buses. That is exactly the new Trump Coalition and thats the unifying element that so many pundits dont seem to understand. The reason joe bidens losing right now, at least in the polls, i know polls arent votes but in the polls is lower and middle income working folks have taken a big pay cut when accounting for the ravages of inflation but those very same groups had a big pay increase under mr. Trump and they remember that. In todays wall street journal, interesting, jason riley talks about the New York Times sienna survey showing his black support, this is trumps black support, ticking all the way up to 23 and among hispanics, 46 compared to joe bidens 40 . Now in 2020 biden won the black vote 928 and hispanics 5938. When you look at those are gigantic changes. Now the affordability crisis is taking its toll. Working class folks whether they be white, black, brown, asian, female, male, young, old, all of them want a pay raise, not the biden pay cut. Now mr. Jason riley who is a friend is not a supporter of Donald Trumps, nonetheless jason points out during the trump years the lowest percentiles of earners of which minorities make up a greater share, they had the biggest percentage gains in weekly income. Now if you add that to a tough policy to close the border, major concerted effort to stop crime and lawlessness throughout the country and common sense strategies to restore our reputation abroad, you have got the makings of a Trump Victory based on successful policies and a newly united, proud, america. Thats how this game could be playing out. All right, enough of me. Joining us now we have very grateful, welcoming back to the show, south dakota governor kristi noem. Governor, welcome, pleasure seeing you. Thanks for doing this. Last night, big historic win for mr. Trump as you know, and he has a great comeback going. I just want to play for you what he said at maralago about success and unity around the whole country. Take a listen to this, then well get your comments. Okay. A tragic thing happened during the election, it was a tragedy because you without have, think of it all of the problems that you have today, i dont think you would have had any of them. You would only have success. Thats what is ultimately going to unify this country and unify this party. We have a great Republican Party with tremendous talent and we want to have unity and were going to have unity and it is going to happen very quickly and i have been saying lately, success will but unity to our country. Larry so, governor noem, how do you read that . This is unique to politics. People dont think in those terms. They think of republicans, democrats, independents. He is saying his policies will succeed, that will bring unity. How do you read that governor . I loved it, i loved it, larry when he said that. That was so perfect because it is so true. Weve seen that play out in different parts of the country the last several years, states with the right leadership, their families have been more successful and theyre happier. If you look at my little state of south dakota, we pursued very conservative policies. People are making 30 more money than they had before. Having more babies than ever before. Businesses are more successful. Taxes are lower. More money in reserves. We have aaa credit rating, pensions are funds and Mentality Health challenges are going down, suicides are going down, drug overdoses are going down. President trump knows his policies bring success. When you do that people are happy, they get along and they enjoy each other. That is exactly what were seeing here. I cant wait to see it on a national scale. Larry he went on, too, last night in the maralago speech, i think it was an underrated speech because if you actually read the speech it was really quite good, i watched it a second time when i got home but he is putting together this populace coalition. Newt gingrich is writing about it. I have written about it. Working class folks, black white, brown, asian, doesnt matter, working class volks, governor, prefer pay increases after inflation. Under biden they have had a pay cut. We have some sound what i think is this populace coalition mr. Trump is putting together. Please take a listen. They wanted to get together africanamerican, asianamerican, hispanicamerican, women, men, people with diplomas from the best schools in the world and people that didnt graduate from high school, every single group was doing better than ever before and it was a beautiful thing. Our country was coming together. [applause] larry again, you know, this is not your grandfathers Republican Party and its a brand new trump Populace Party and you think youre very much part of this movement, maam, i just wonder what you thought on that, right across the board. Doesnt matter, theyre working folks and they want pay increases. I remember when he first ran for president , i was driving down the interstate, driving on a road trip with a truck and trailer with my daughter, every trucker i saw, had a make America Great again truck on. I thought what was happening . 2016 what was happening President Trump broke politics. He didnt care what party you were in, he would fight for you, people that get up every day that go, work, have a job. Take care of their families, make good decisions, still love america. He hasnt changed once. He has not change ad single thing. He continued to fight for everybody. What i love about his poll numbers, people are recognizing how devastating and socialist the Democrat Party is and how badly they need President Trump back in the white house. Larry if you add the economic stuff to the border, you know, no one will be tougher on the border than donald trump, no one. Of course other issues. There is the culture war and we need to improve our image and our standing overseas. I mean how do you see this campaign playing out . How do you see the issues playing out . Im sure youre going to be campaigning for him. Youve been a supporter. I will. Larry what are the top issues will be, what does joe biden, what do you think joe biden shows up copa set i cannily what will he say about it . I dont think he will know what he is going to say about it. This is how i explained it to somebody last night. You can only light a person on fire so many times until they dont feel it anymore, they will just do it right. That is where he is. President trump is literally at every single arrow, dart at him that they possibly could he will keep doing what he is right. They will use divisive topics against him. I dont think they will be successful on the economy. They will not be successful on family budgets, gasoline or grocery prices every family knows joe biden wiped out their bank account and maxed out their credit cards. They will do it on social issues. Republicans will have to be smart, to recognize the people should be making these decisions and these people that we are a country built on freedom and on, a standard that allows people to have a say in what their government is and people making decisions closest to those folks and those families where they live make the best decisions. I have never seen a solution come out of the federal government that actually made something better. So if you walk and look who has been leading the last several years its governors, its states. On a lot of those issues they have been making the best decisions. So President Trump should continue to point to straights where there is good leaders that made tough decisions and their people are thriving. Larry governor noem if President Trump asks you are you open to a vicepresident ial nomination . I told him i want him to win. I will do anything he needs me to do to help him win. So that is important to that country. If he wants me to go out there to knock on doors and put yard signs in i will do that too. Whatever it takes. It is that important that whatever policies in place but we need someone who loves this country. Larry you would come to washington as his Vice President . It is not my favorite place, larry, you know that. Larry yes. I go there once in a while and i would certainly help him. Larry so i will take that as a yes. Final thing, governor noem, appreciate your time as always, i know in south dakota, you have a bill, a new bill combating antisemitism or reaffirming old bills and can you tell us about that because it is such a important issue. This is a bill that defines what antisemitism is, it has examples that we put in statute that will be used in model legislation in every other state to define what a hate crime is and prosecute those who engage in it. This is the strongest language in this country to push back on some of the hatred weve seen across this country since the october 7th attack. I was devastated to see folks in this undertry uneducated some purposefully stand with prohamas and attack our allies israel and our brothers and sisters in the jewish community. This is a bill we signed into law today in the rotunda of our capital. We had hundreds and hundreds of people there. We have one of the smallest jewish communities in the entire country and we dearly love them and stand with our allies and proud to sign this bill i believe many, many other states are going to use because it gives them Strong Language we can win in court and prosecute those who engage in hate crimes. Larry congratulations on that. We appreciate it. Governor kristi noem, great to see you. Good to see you too, larry. Larry you betcha. Quick update, switch gears, other side of the country, fani willis, hotlanta georgia, the fiasco gets worse and worse. Fox news Jonathan Serrie joins us live with more details. Thank you for this. What can you tell us . Reporter certainly, larry, the republicans leading this Georgia Senate Committee Hearing that took place earlier today say theyre trying to determine whether District Attorney fani willis misused public funds. They only called on one witness today, ashley merchant. She is the First Defense attorney in the Georgia Election interference case to attempt to have willis disqualified from prosecuting it. Merchant suggested that willis worked out a new contract with her special prosecutor and than romantic partner nathan wade while the two were traveling together. There was a period of i think it is 15 or 16 days where he did not have a contract. They, which also happened to be one of the times they were out the town but so they reupped the contract november 15th and then it had a cap but the cap was significantly huer. Reporter after the Committee Hearing one senator in the democratic minority said willis fate should be left to the courts, not legislative politics that judge is going to make a decision within a couple weeks. That is the role ought to be played out. We ought not to be doing that. Reporter larry, there were two new filings proposing, two new witnesses come forward and testify. These witnesses are apparently ready to testify that willis around wades romantic relationship began much earlier than the pair had testified under oath in court last month. Now the judge has yet to rule whether he is going to hear anymore witnesses before rendering his decision on whether or not fannie wil
