Summary

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 takes your calls! 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.
