Summary

President of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, appeared in a New York court today, entering a not-guilty plea following his indictment over the weekend by the US military. This development is causing a significant reaction among left-wing networks and Democrats. Mark interviews Boston radio host Howie Carr. Howie shares the latest updates from Mar-A-Lago. During a party, President Trump auctioned off a painting, with proceeds going to charity. Additionally, there are questions about Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s real estate background. Mark provides the latest updates on CBS’s rebranding. Tonight, a new national news anchor was scheduled to debut, but that may be postponed. Mark also discusses how the US military is currently well-positioned to respond to any emerging crises. Mark reflects on a memorable interview he conducted a few years ago with the late, great actor Rob Reiner, discussing Rob’s life and his family’s well-being.
