FULL SHOW: New McDonald's menu items; Update on the Warner Bro's bidding war. 

The Democrats are accused of overplaying their response to the Rene Good murder in Minnesota, which has sparked national outrage and could potentially harm their electoral prospects if they use the event to target ICE. Mark provides a recap of last night’s Golden Globe Awards. Political strategist Ed Rollins joins Mark for an interview. Ed argues that President Trump and the GOP need a clear issue to rally behind for the midterms. He notes that the administration is juggling many priorities, making it difficult to establish a central focus for Republican campaigns. Zohran Mamdani is about to propose significant spending on new public restrooms in NYC. Mark questions whether Mamdani will deliver real change or is just making promises. Did Nick Reiner’s son’s mental health medications contribute to the murder of his parents, actor Rob Reiner and his wife? Mark interviews Fox Business Analyst Charlie Gasparino. Charlie suggests that protests about Rene Good’s murder could increase frustration among Democrats and left-leaning individuals with the state of the country. He also discusses how the media’s handling of the story and related issues could impact the GOP. Additionally, Gasparino provides an update on the Warner Bros. business deal, including news involving Paramount, Skydance, Netflix, and more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
