Summary

Some New Yorkers are praising Mayor Mamdani for his efforts in cleaning up the streets following the Blizzard of 2026, but there are still areas of the city expressing dissatisfaction. Tonight is the State of the Union address, and Democrats argue this is a pivotal moment for President Trump, given his low approval ratings. There is speculation about whether Democrats will stage a walkout during the speech. Mark interviews Business News Editor at Breitbart, John Carney. John discusses how the Trump administration always intended to keep tariffs in place, even after the Supreme Court overturned them, and outlines what to expect next. Democrats say they oppose tariffs, but they support corporate taxes - Carney notes the similarity between the two. He also references his article listing products that are now priced lower than before. Yesterday, Mexico extradited 100 cartel leaders to the United States, where they will stand trial. Meanwhile, NYPD officers were struck by snowballs while responding to incidents in Washington Square Park. Authorities promise consequences for those who injured the officers. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O’Reilly. Bill predicts Democrats will not walk out of the State of the Union Address, believing it would hurt their party’s reputation heading into the midterms. He argues it’s all about money for the Democrats, and key absences tonight could cost them financially behind the scenes. Bill and Mark also debate whether Gavin Newsom’s recent comments were racist against Black Americans: Mark thinks Sunday’s incident will hurt Newsom, while Bill disagrees.
