Summary

Could the Democrats’ constant criticism of President Trump actually increase his chances of helping the GOP win the midterms next year? According to sources in D.C. that Mark knows, Americans will notice significant changes in their paychecks starting in January of next year. Mark interviews Boston radio host Howie Carr. Which Democrats are most likely to be winners in the upcoming elections over the next few years? Howie, currently in Palm Beach, Florida, shares his perspective on the holiday season in the area. Department of Homeland Security’s Kristi Noem was challenged on Capitol Hill yesterday by Democrats regarding her handling of ICE. Today, we also remember the legendary music icon Frank Sinatra on what would have been his 110th birthday. Mark interviews pollster John McLaughlin. John breaks down the latest behind-the-scenes poll numbers, focusing on the 2026 gubernatorial race in NYC. United States Representative Elise Stefanik is currently trailing Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, while Governor Kathy Hochul could face a serious challenge ahead. There are also concerns that President Trump’s approval rating polls may be manipulated against him.
