Chapter 1: What are the economic impacts of Netflix on the U.S.?
Let's talk about Netflix, but I don't want to talk about their shows and movies. I want to talk about the economic impact Netflix makes in this country. Over the past 10 years, Netflix has contributed $225 billion to the U.S. economy. They've brought productions to all 50 states and hired over 150,000 Americans as cast and crew.
That's carpenters, electricians, and small businesses, all real American jobs. Netflix, investing in America.
As the dust settles from Trump's raucous State of the Union, the two parties set their sights fully on the midterms.
We're going to continue to contrast their corruption with our commitment to make life better for everyday Americans. I think they're going to regret that video because we will be using it in the midterm elections. It showed what they're all about.
I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Thursday, February 26th, and this is Morning Wire.
As Bill and Hillary Clinton get set to testify this week, the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein files continues, leading to high-profile resignations and admissions.
I was only at dinners. You know, I never went to the island. I never met any women. Although the time was a mistake, it had nothing to do with that kind of behavior.
And New York's Democratic Socialist mayor is under fire again, this time from his own police force.
From the videos that I've seen, it looks like a snowball fight. I think that there were two officers who were facing lacerations on their face. Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned.

Both parties in Washington are racing to win the post-State of the Union messaging battle with midterms fast approaching.
Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips is here with the fallout from the address and a look ahead to November. Hey, Cabot. So both parties trying to spend Trump's big night in their favor. Let's start with Republicans. What are we hearing from them? Yeah, after 36 hours, reviews are starting to pour in, and the White House, they're very happy with how this address fared for them.
A CNN poll, for example, found that roughly two-thirds of those who viewed the event said it went favorably, while just 38% had a negative reaction. Now, those numbers can be skewed a bit because supporters of the president tend to more overwhelmingly watch, but here's the nugget that the White House is most excited about.
Before the speech, this poll showed that 54% of viewers felt Trump's policies would take the country in the right direction. Afterwards, that number jumped to 64%. We saw a similar 10-point increase on the question of whether Trump had the right priorities. There, he went from 44% to 54%. The White House obviously is happy to take those numbers.
Before the address, the administration was trying to paint the left as being crazy and off the rails, and they feel that last night's actions and the subsequent fallout only further proved their point. Yeah, let's get to that counter-programming that we mentioned yesterday from the left. What did we see from Democrats? Well, their main line of attack in the last 36 hours has been on the economy.
Democrats flooded the airwaves over the last 24 hours to hammer Trump's address, saying he didn't do enough to alleviate concerns about affordability. Senate leader Chuck Schumer, for example, called it the, quote, "...state of delusion."
while House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said the address was, quote, riddled with dirty, rotten lies, including Trump's unwillingness to confront the affordability crisis. And then for her part, Ilhan Omar, who was talk of the night because of her constant yelling and screaming throughout the event, doubled down on CNN.

Chapter 3: What are the latest developments in the Jeffrey Epstein case?
Yeah, as we said at the top, midterms on everybody's mind at this point. Yeah, we're only eight months away now. It's going to fly by. And the State of the Union, it's obviously meant to bolster the president's agenda and speak directly to the American people. But arguably more important here, the goal of the night is also to set the party's tone for the midterms.
In many ways, it's the unofficial kickoff of election season. And GOP leadership wants members ahead of the election to focus in on the economy. Here's Daily Wire reporter Cameron Arcand to that point.
A memo sent out to Senate campaigns on Wednesday by the NRSC is encouraging them to focus on messaging that Republicans in the Senate are, quote, delivering on the Trump economic agenda, especially as Americans are both currently filing their taxes and the Department of Homeland Security faces a funding lapse.
Now, on the Senate side, Republicans will be defending nearly twice as many seats as Democrats this cycle, 22 to 13, though 16 of those seats are in deep red states. That means the main battlegrounds this November, as usual, you could probably guess, will be Georgia, Michigan, and North Carolina, but also Maine.
Republicans could also face tight races in Alaska and Ohio, while Democrats are once again expressing optimism about their chances of flipping a seat in Texas, though we've heard them say that plenty of times. Yes, we have. No avail. The GOP can't afford to lose three of those races and maintain their majority, which they're confident in. But the House is going to be a much taller order.
They have a very slim few-vote majority. And over the last 50 years, keep in mind, the president's party has lost roughly 33 House seats on average during their first midterm since being elected. Right, a really steep hill for Republicans to climb. Kevin, thanks so much for reporting and really enjoyed the launch of your new show, Wired and Live, last night. Thank you. It was a great time.
Tune in next week, next Thursday, 4 Eastern. We'll keep things going.
