Summary

Studies came out recently about what demographic Stephen Colbert's audience is. It's a ton of Democrats. Not only did Stephen Colbert's show get studied, but other Late-Night Shows did also, and they all have a key secret sauce to them. Hulk Hogan put in long hours doing a video documentary about him, right before his death. Mark Takes Your Calls! Mark Interviews Columnist Liz Peek. The Democrats think they have something to embarrass President Trump which is the Epstein Files. The Dems had access to the Epstein Files under Biden and didn't do anything about it. Jerome Powell should be cutting rates right now. If he doesn't cut rates this week, the fed could lose a lot of money and also it could be the last straw for Powell.
