Summary

Democrats continue to highlight alleged connections between President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, raising questions about the nature and extent of their relationship. Meanwhile, Zohran Mamdani met with NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch to discuss the potential of her staying on as his administration begins in January 2026. Mark interviews journalist Liz Peek. Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is expected to meet with President Trump soon to discuss the future of NYC - a conversation that could help ease tensions between them. There is speculation about whether Governor Kathy Hochul will lose a reelection bid due to pressure from Mamdani's progressive policies. Over 50,000 candidates have applied to join the Mamdani administration, highlighting the intense competition for these positions. Meanwhile, questions remain about the feasibility of Zohran’s proposed free bus plan, as financial constraints could undermine its success. Additionally, Zohran’s tendency for double-talk may lead to misunderstandings among the public. Mark interviews author Mark Malkoff. Mark shares his experiences visiting Carson’s hometown and discusses his book, “Love Johnny Carson.” He reveals behind-the-scenes insights into what made Carson one of television’s greatest stars.
