FULL SHOW: Tonight's State of the Union; NYPD officers hit with snowballs.

Some New Yorkers are praising Mayor Mamdani for his efforts in cleaning up the streets following the Blizzard of 2026, but there are still areas of the city expressing dissatisfaction.

There is speculation about whether Democrats will stage a walkout during the speech. Mark interviews Business News Editor at Breitbart, John Carney. John discusses how the Trump administration always intended to keep tariffs in place, even after the Supreme Court overturned them, and outlines what to expect next.

He also references his article listing products that are now priced lower than before. 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 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.

FULL SHOW: Blizzard of 2026; Big Olympics win for the USA!

It’s the Blizzard of 2026, and Mark gives us an update on the storm and how many inches of snow the tri-state area has gotten. NYC may not have enough shovelers to help remove all the snow throughout the city. Tomorrow is the State of the Union address to the nation. Could Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez beat Chuck Schumer in a Senate race? Mark interviews political strategist Ed Rollins. Ed breaks down what President Donald Trump has to do at the State of the Union tomorrow night to seal the deal for his party. Trump has to show a lot of class tomorrow and not come out as nasty. The cost of a possible war in the Middle East could cost Americans tons of money. The Supreme Court struck down the way President Trump imposed broad tariffs, so those duties could be invalidated and refunded. His administration shifted to a temporary 15% tariff under a different law, meaning tariffs may continue but in a narrower or time-limited form. An Arizona couple reportedly found gloves possibly tied to a cartel killing, though details remain limited. The Russia-Ukraine war is still ongoing, with continued fighting and strained diplomatic efforts. Mark interviews columnist John Fund. John and Mark discuss what they see as questionable motives in Democratic messaging on the issue about Voter ID laws. They examine claims that voter ID requirements disproportionately impact Black voters, and question whether suggesting minorities are unable to obtain identification is itself offensive or patronizing. John breaks down the statistics often cited in the debate and explains the percentage of Americans - including minority voters - who already possess government-issued ID. John and Mark argue that identification is required for many everyday activities in the United States and around the world, and they question why voting should be treated differently.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
