Summary

On this very newsy edition of Next Up, Megyn Kelly joins the show to break down the fallout from the government shutdown — the deal that enraged Democrats, why Chuck Schumer could be pushed out by his own party, and why the GOP’s 2028 bench may be stronger than the Democrats’. Plus, Mark delivers not one, but two new reports on today’s show. First, he examines the populist revolts reshaping both parties — and the attempt by establishment power in Washington to hang on. From Trump’s continued dominance and Schumer’s mounting weakness to the Democratic civil war sparked by the shutdown deal, Mark explains how anger, distrust, and disillusionment have become the new currency of American politics. Later, he turns to one of the most urgent issues facing the country: how America lost its young men — and what the rise of figures like Nick Fuentes reveals about a generation alienated from faith, work, and purpose — and the leaders who failed to reach them.

1:05.5	battle in both parties between the populist wings of the parties, the Democrats and the Republicans,
