Summary

A black box has been recovered from the deadly runway crash at LaGuardia Airport aboard an Air Canada flight that crashed, and the black box is being driven to Washington, D.C. Talks between Iran and the United States are being conducted through a third-party intermediary in the Middle East, relaying communications between both sides. ICE agents have been deployed at airports across the country, providing significant support - particularly with gate security alongside TSA. Democrats have been vocal in their opposition to the agents’ presence at airports, a reaction that many feel is making them look out of touch. Mark interviews Fox News contributor Liz Peek. Republicans, along with Democrats, are refusing to fund DHS, resulting in unusually long lines at airports nationwide. Could privately run TSA operations be the solution? The conversation also turns to the New York mayoral race - had Andrew Cuomo dropped out earlier, the outcome could have looked very different, as his presence is seen as a key factor in certain candidates’ losses. President Trump continues to face criticism over a Truth Social post in which he expressed satisfaction over the passing of Robert Mueller. Mark also shifts the talk to windmills and their limited impact on the environment. OnlyFans owner Leonid Radvinsky has passed away following a battle with cancer. Bill Cosby has lost a sex assault lawsuit and is now facing a $59 million judgment. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O’Reilly. What was the imminent threat posed by Iran to the United States? Bill breaks it down and also discusses a revealing interview he conducted with Lindsey Graham that shed light on the reasoning behind discussions of a potential military strike. The two also touch on a growing trend in how hosts are designing and displaying their on-air sets, and reflect on the rising popularity of longer-form podcast interviews.
