Younger voters are secretly switching political parties due to Charlie Kirk's shooting. President Trump shut down ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl yesterday after he asked Trump about his plans to go after people who preach hate speech. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews political consultant Ed Rollins. Democrats haven't handled Charlie Kirk's death well, and it's hurting their party. Ed doesn't see a path for Curtis Sliwa to become mayor of New York. Mamdani is likely to win the mayoral race, especially after his recent endorsements.
