Today at 8 p.m. ET is President Trump’s deadline for Iran to reach a deal or face massive strikes on its power plants, bridges, and more. Trump has warned that “the entire country can be taken out in one night,” and Iran has reportedly shut down talks with mediating countries as the clock ticks down. Mark breaks down the remarkable rescue of both crew members of an F-15E Strike Eagle that was shot down over Iran, a complex, multi-day operation involving hundreds of special forces troops and dozens of aircraft. May 21st is the final night of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Beginning May 22nd, CBS will hand over the 11:35 p.m. time slot to Byron Allen’s comedy series Comics Unleashed.  Mark interviews Fox News contributor Liz Peek. Liz believes the chances that President Trump will follow through on striking Iranian infrastructure tonight are high. Zohran Mamdani’s push to raise taxes on corporations and wealthy New Yorkers risks driving big business and high earners out of the city. Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger is pushing a redistricting referendum ahead of the April 21st vote, but her approval rating has cratered, and the effort is facing growing unpopularity, with early voting in Republican districts outpacing Democratic ones. Left-wing media networks are bracing for tonight’s 8 p.m. deadline, and Mark asks whether shows like these have essentially become therapy for Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers. Mark also reveals details about what Trump’s planned presidential library in Miami will feature, including a towering skyscraper with Trump’s name in gold lettering, a golden escalator, a replica of the Oval Office, a golden statue of Trump with his fist raised, and Air Force One on display. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O’Reilly. Bill breaks down why Democrats manufacture a new narrative about Trump every day, whether it’s accusing him of “war crimes” or something else entirely, and how that machine operates. There is significant confusion inside the Department of War right now. Trump believes Iran was weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon, though questions remain about the clarity of his overall strategy. The deeper question: why did the Mullahs want a nuclear weapon in the first place, and what does that tell us about how this war ends?
