The Five Wars Shaping American Politics, Exclusive New NYC Mayor Poll, and Hunter Biden Uncensored

22 Jul 2025

Description

Mark kicks off today’s show breaking down the five biggest hot political wars dominating American politics—from Rahm Emanuel’s escalating battle with the progressive left to Trump’s ongoing feud with The Wall Street Journal and the Murdoch empire. Mark unpacks how these high-stakes fights are reshaping the parties, the media, and more. Then, new NYC mayoral polling sparks a fierce debate: can Andrew Cuomo actually beat Zohran Mamdani? Mark is joined by David Burrelland John Podhoretz to analyze the numbers, dissect the only path left for Cuomo to win, and explore why Mamdani’s support surge among young, childless voters. Meanwhile, James Carville warns Democrats they cannot let Mamdani define the party —and he’s not alone in raising alarms about the left’sinfluence. Also, Ben Ferguson joins to react to Hunter Biden’s extraordinary new claims involving Ambien, crack, and George Clooney. He and Mark discuss what the revelations say about the president’s state of mind during the debate. They also take a hard look at the deeper identity crisis inside the Democratic Party and ask whether it’s become too fractured to lead. Plus, celebrating the surprise return of Ted Lasso!
