YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMark opens today’s show with his patented reported monologue on Donald Trump’s strategy for Ukraine and Russia, laying out five pillars that sharply diverge from Joe Biden’s policies. From shifting the burden to Europe and aggressively driving peace talks, to accepting territorial compromise, wielding sanctions, and using high-pressure diplomacy, Mark explains why Trump’s approach could reset America’s role in the conflict and remake the global power map.
Former chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence, Marc Short, then joins to discuss the balance between loyalty to Trump and staying true to conservative principles. He reflects on how many traditional Republicans have navigating the Trump years and offers his take on foreign policy, the economy, and the party’s challenges heading into 2028. He also addresses Pence’s comments on President Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard in Washington, D.C.
Finally, Hillary Clinton’s former campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle, explains why running for president is far more grueling than most candidates and advisers anticipate. She also shares her assessment of the Democratic field for 2028, with Gavin Newsom in the first tier by himself and a trio of governors and a surprise pick making up the second batch.
