Mark Halperin's reported monologue serves as a critique of the Dominant Media’s coverage of the face-off between Dr. Anthony Fauci and Senator Rand Paul at this week’s epic Senate hearing, calling out the press’s obsession with saying Republicans have an “obsession” with Fauci, rather than focusing on the tens of millions of Americans who are desperate for answers about the COVID-19 pandemic. Then, Chris Salcedo joins Mark to discuss why Hispanic voters have shifted toward to the right, which party will produce America's first Latino president, and the cultural trends shaping national politics. Plus, Mark breaks down the growing backlash to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's policies targeting wealthy residents, and academic and entrepreneur Vivek Wadhwa explains the H-1B visa debate and the challenges facing America's skilled immigration system.
