Summary

President Trump’s big meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping is being called a success, but a lot of people are asking: Will China really stick to the deal? Trump wasn’t even allowed to use his cell phone because of Chinese rules! He also sat down for an exclusive with Sean Hannity and dropped a bunch of details about deals with China, Iran, and more. A major sinkhole opened up at Exit 49 on the Long Island Expressway yesterday. Mark explained what caused it and said it’s a story to watch. Mark interviews Fox News contributor Liz Peek. Liz thinks Trump may have convinced Xi to get Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz, since Iran is such a close ally of China. But she says there was no official agreement signed. She also pointed out that China didn’t expect so many big-name CEOs (especially from tech) would show up with Trump, and she thinks Trump might have to get tough on Iran again to keep his word. On top of that, China is struggling with oil supply and new business. Palm Beach International Airport will be renamed Trump International Airport, which is sure to fire up the Democrats. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is scaring both Democrats and Republicans with talk of a 2028 presidential run. Reality star Spencer Pratt says he’s running for Mayor of LA and is getting a lot of attention. Plus, David Letterman and Stephen Colbert were spotted celebrating the end of Colbert’s show. Mark interviews radio legend Scott Shannon. Scott's oldies channel is getting a lot of buzz from people who want to bring his music everywhere they go. He described the kind of content on the channel that will really make you want to listen in. If you ordered a Trump Phone, there’s a shipping delay. Scott also looked back at his long career in New York radio and shared some great stories.
