Chuck Schumer has led his party into a box canyon. Now he wants them to leap off the nearest ledge. Daily Caller columnist Mary Rooke discusses the bizarre refusal of Democrats to listen to voters, offer any sort of policies that address their concerns, and choice to align themselves with the fringe of the electorate on almost every issue. Plus: What is "the good life"?

From autopens to CRs, Democrats appear to have forgotten everything they ever knew about politics. Andrew Malcolm and I discuss the basics that have been forgotten and why Donald Trump needs to learn a lesson from it. Chuck Schumer's humiliation won't be the last for Democrats.

It's been a week since Donald Trump's speech to Congress. What did it reveal about Trump -- and about Democrats?

Author Michael Walsh presents them in his new book "A Rage to Conquer," detailing the fascinating lessons from The Iliad to the World Trade Center.

The first Trump Bowl may have been a bust on the field, but it was a boon for Donald Trump and conservatives. Andrew Malcolm and I discuss the retreat of wokery, Trump's enthusiastic reception, and a little bit about the game too. We also discuss Trump's newfound popularity as a leader, and why he's starting off with a huge boost in job approval.

What is the one quality that has been restored to American public life? Leadership, Andrew Malcolm and I agree. Plus, we both note that this is the most energetic fortnight in decades, perhaps in 92 years. Not that we were there, of course! For Democrats wondering what went wrong, perhaps that's the place to start.

Did it feel like Donald Trump enacted an entire four-year agenda this week? It certainly did to Phil Kerpen of AmericanCommitment.org.
