Mark Halperin's reported monologue examines the newly revealed diary entries from Dr. Anthony Fauci, exploring his desperate need for celebrity and how the Dominant Media protected him — and, with echoes of the Biden mental acuity press scandal, continues to coddle and champion him to this very day. Then, Larry O'Connor and Kevin Walling join Mark to break down the biggest political stories shaping the 2026 midterms, the overlooked campaigns that could swing the balance of power, and JD Vance's presidential prospects. Plus, the Mark dives into two under-the-radar factors that could create major challenges for Democrats heading into the next presidential race.    Sewer Sentry Environmental Technologies: See how smart tech protects both the environment and your budget at https://www.sewersentry.com   Chapter: For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (262) 454-0503 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter. *Paid Partnership*” Chapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.
