President Trump scored a major victory in last night’s Republican primaries, defeating opponents like John Cornyn, Bill Cassidy, and Thomas Massie, none of whom received his endorsement and have recently distanced themselves from him. The candidates Trump backed came out on top, highlighting his continued influence on the GOP. On foreign policy, President Trump commented on rising tensions with Iran. He indicated the U.S. is giving Iran a little more time to de-escalate, but warned that another round of military conflict is becoming increasingly likely. In response, Iranian officials threatened to target Gulf countries and oil facilities if the U.S. launches attacks against Iran, raising concerns about broader regional instability. Meanwhile, Democrats have been effective in recent congressional hearings, particularly in scrutinizing President Trump’s proposed $1.8 billion fund, which critics argue could benefit his allies and friends.

Mark interviews Boston radio host Howie Carr. Howie and Mark break down the Georgia primaries, which saw competitive races and shifting alliances. Senator Bill Cassidy, despite his loss, publicly supports a new Senate resolution to end U.S. involvement in the conflict in Iran. The guys also remember liberal icon Barney Frank, who has passed away. Mark and Howie dive into the anticipated renaming of Palm Beach International Airport to Trump International Airport, which is a move expected to generate significant debate among Democrats in the coming months.

President Trump’s defeat of Rep. Thomas Massie comes after millions were spent on advertising for Massie’s campaign. Mark delves into the Trump, Jeffrey Epstein connection, reiterating that Trump distanced himself from Epstein. The show also notes Democrats’ reaction to the end of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” which is airing its final episode tomorrow. Colbert was a frequent critic of Trump and played a prominent role in pushing the Russia investigation narrative. Kellogg’s is bringing back toys in cereal boxes, delighting nostalgic fans.

Mark interviews author Ann Coulter. Ann debates whether she’ll tune in for Colbert’s last show. Trump’s pick for Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, has received positive reviews for his performance so far. She reflects on the significance of Palm Beach International Airport’s upcoming renaming to Trump International Airport, while she and Mark discuss the increasingly left-leaning culture on college campuses, places Ann once frequented as a speaker.
