Minority leader Chuck Schumer's time may be coming to a close. There's no Republican Party in New York, and that's an issue. U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik took some big shots at Bruce Blakeman's performance in the New York gubernatorial race, and Blakeman has fired back at Elise's character and performance. Donald Trump will be signing a document for the Oval Office and Cabinet Room as a landmark so it can't be touched in the future by other presidents.

TV host James Carville thinks people should go after Trump very hard. Mark goes over Trump's schedule this weekend.  Many people think that President Trump losing the midterms is a big blow to him.

A new study has come out on the average penis size, and can you guess what it is? Mark explains. The number of riots that broke out after the Dems swept America was zero.  Mark interviews political strategist Ed Rollins. Ed and Mark recap the number of Dems that won the midterm elections. Ed was correct with his predictions about the GOP losing the midterms. Donald Trump's messaging on the campaign trail was a wash for members of the GOP. Did Iran really have plans for a nuclear weapon? Both guys believe that whoever the next candidate is who gets into a presidential race will need to focus on the messaging and issues very precisely.  Mark explains President Trump's personality as a billionaire and how people like him usually operate. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's future in the Trump administration is in Jeopardy after the GOP's blame games are in full swing about why they lost the midterms. Gavin Newsom on death row in California yesterday had his possible execution changed to life in prison instead.  Mark interviews pollster John McLaughlin. John broke down why the Republicans lost big time in the midterm elections nationwide. Most of the issues were a lack of a national message to rally voters to vote for the GOP.
