  • Trump Demolishes East Wing and His Critics’ Emotional Stability, Shutdown Latest, and Dems 2028 Strategy
    Mark kicks off today’s episode with his new reported monologue on Washington’s latest drama: the controversy over Donald Trump’s White House ballroom. He unpacks how a simple construction project became the Left’s newest moral anguish—and what the frenzy reveals about the lingering Trump Derangement Syndrome that still defines so much of the left and political media. Mark separates legitimate critique from performative outrage, showing how the press continues to inflate Trump’s every move into a national crisis.Then Republican Whip Tom Emmer joins Mark to talk strategy, substance, and why Republicans believe they are winning the messaging battle over the current shutdown. Emmer argues that the GOP has stayed disciplined while Democrats spiral into emotional overreaction—and lays out why the East Wing “demolition” has become a perfect metaphor for Washington’s obsession with optics over outcomes.Finally, Democratic strategist Matt Bennett sits down with Mark to examine what the ballroom backlash exposes about his party’s deeper challenges. They discuss the Left’s fixation on aesthetics, the urgent need for real policy debate before 2028, and how figures like J.D. Vance are redefining the political landscape. Bennett and Halperin explore where—and how—Democrats must start talking to voters again if they hope to compete in the next era of American politics.Forward Mobile: Help protect the American vaping industry before it’s too late!

  • Inside the Dems’ Identity Crisis, and Scott Jennings on Trump, Vance, and Filling KY’s Senate Seat
    Mark Halperin opens today’s show with his new reported monologue on the Democrats’ identity crisis — a deep dive into how the party has built its identity around resistance, and why that playbook has failed in the view of many Democrats. For years now, anti-Trump applause lines have filled the space where ideas used to live, creating a cycle of outrage that thrilled MSNBC panels but alienated voters looking for solutions. Now, as the country shifts and Republicans confidently seize the momentum, Democrats face a defining question: if they’re not just the opposition, what are they?Then, CNN’s “America’s Favorite Pundit” Scott Jennings joins Mark for a wide-ranging interview on how he built a rare platform as a conservative voice on CNN and why his perspective resonates with both MAGA loyalists and mainstream audiences. Jennings breaks down JD Vance’s emergence as a Republican powerhouse, the party’s new balance of loyalty and ambition, and the political intrigue surrounding Mitch McConnell’s successor — including whether Scott himself plans to enter the race.Forward Mobile: Help protect the American vaping industry before it’s too late!
