Summary

Tonight marks a moon launch that hasn’t taken place in many years. Republican candidate Bruce Blakeman has been denied public matching funds, which could impact his chances of winning - and Democrats may face scrutiny over the decision. Kristi Noem continues to face criticism for allegedly redirecting DHS budget funds intended for departmental improvements for personal use. A judge has blocked an order to cut funding for PBS and NPR. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews author Ann Coulter. Ann argues that Democrats are using race to justify preserving Birthright Citizenship, noting that the policy was originally rooted in freeing enslaved people. She also shares her take on reports that Don Lemon is considering a presidential run. Meanwhile, Kristi Noem’s political future appears uncertain, as her handling of DHS funds continues to weigh on her prospects for any future race.
