Media Meltdown Over Bari Weiss, Michael Knowles on MAGA’s Israel Divide & Detoxing the Dems for 2028

Mark Halperin opens today’s show with his reported monologue dissecting the legacy media meltdown over Bari Weiss’s appointment as editor-in-chief of CBS News. He unpacks the internal uproar and the outrage from many of the same type of left-leaning journalists who once drove Weiss out of The New York Times — and explains why she may be CBS’s best hope to rebuild credibility and profitability. His message for staffers unwilling to embrace change: quit.

Then, The Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles joins to reflect on the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination — a personal loss for friends and a political one for the conservative movement. He and Mark explore the divisions on the right over Israel and how conservatives can maintain unity amid intense strain.

Plus, former Clinton advisor Doug Sosnik breaks down the voter trends and demographic shifts that could shape the 2028 presidential race — and how Democrats can detox their brand before it’s too late — and why the REAL path to the White House does not involve anger and clicks.
