Welcome back to Daylight Savings Time! We have another packed show tonight as we look beyond the State of the Union and Super Tuesday. Trump won, and conservatives won some victories in... San Francisco (yes, you read that right).
Meanwhile, President Biden is causing problems with his rhetoric on Israel. Congress is considering legislation to ban TikTok (which Trump is opposing?). And the Oscars bring a not-too-flattering spotlight on the state of Hollywood.
Richard Goldberg - Foundation for Defense of Democracies - on Israel
Richie Greenberg - conservative in San Francisco - on Super Tuesday fallout
Brendan Carr - FCC Commissioner - on TikTok bill in Congress
Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) - on State of the Union and its aftermath
Jerome Hudson - Breitbart News Entertainment Editor - on the Oscars
