Show notes
Minority leader Chuck Schumer is already attacking Trump, saying his party will go after him. Mark breaks down what usually happens when the GOP and a President lose the midterms. The same loss President Trump is experiencing is what former President Barack Obama and George Bush experienced when the midterms swung back to the other side of the pendulum. Donald Trump will vote to veto everything the Dems try to put on him, but will some Republicans join the Dems in this? Trump will issue pardons to most of his family and some friends before the fighting and convictions start. Peter Hegseth may be the person who will take most of the issues regarding the Iran war. Comedian Russell Brand has been found guilty by a UK court of rape and sexual assault. Local TV networks, especially NBC, drew a lot of viewers, surpassing the cable news networks, which was a huge shock for media outlets.  NFL Hosts Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are allegedly fighting really hard, which could spark some challenges in their careers. Starbucks is accused of surveillance pricing. The Democrats have a whole list of people who will be getting investigated in hearings, which could spell some trouble for both sides.  Mark interviews WOR weeknight host Jimmy Failla. Jimmy gives his opinion on what happened with the midterm elections. Some states that surprised him were Texas turning blue and the Senate election, with Abdul El-Sayed's win in Michigan. Jimmy and Mark also explain what could happen to Americans' mood about the economy if certain moves are made.  Who will be the 2028 candidates now that the midterms are over? Kamala Harris's chances are most likely over. US Senator John Ossoff may be a major candidate, as well as Senate Elect James Talirico and more. The Dems took over the governor's race throughout the USA, flipping 5 seats. Mark runs down the possible moves that will be happening over the next few weeks. Texas has turned blue for the first time in decades.  Mark interviews columnist Liz Peek. Liz and Mark break down the midterm election results. Liz believes that the Democrats will leave prices unchanged at grocery stores and other places, including gas, nationwide.
