Summary

Mark breaks down yesterday's hearings, where lawmakers questioned administration officials on Iran, the economy, and immigration. Marco Rubio defended the administration's Iran policy, Scott Bessent faced scrutiny over budget and IRS issues, and Markwayne Mullin answered questions on immigration, DHS spending, and cybersecurity. The overall focus was on accountability, transparency, and whether current policies are delivering results. Some Republicans voted for the War Powers Act, which could help undermine President Trump's power against Iran. Donald Trump, in an interview, doesn't understand why the Bidens would go to Waffle House if Former First Lady Jill Biden thought Joe Biden was having a stroke. Mark interviews economist Steve Moore. Steve discusses how energy prices have hurt some Americans, but the Big Beautiful Bill has benefited many people. Getting a job can make you happier and healthier as you live your life. Samsung is the latest company to move out of the Garden State, and you need businesses in states and areas to create jobs. Steve explains what you and companies can do to change that. Are voters starting to wise up in California by switching which party gets into political seats for financial reasons, especially taxes? President Trump has nominated Todd Blanche to serve as attorney general, replacing Pam Bondi. Meanwhile, Ukraine continues expanding its domestic weapons production, including drones, as it prepares for the possibility of a prolonged conflict with Russia. Mark also explains how Ukrainian drones struck targets near St. Petersburg as President Putin's flagship economic forum got underway, which highlighted Ukraine's ability to project force deep inside Russian territory. Former Trump advisor John Bolton agrees to plead guilty to retaining classified information. The shakeup at 60 Minutes is one to watch. Mark interviews WOR weeknight host Jimmy Failla. They discuss whether Jill Biden's new book will be a sales success, Jimmy's optimism about the Knicks' championship chances, and the wild betting odds surrounding a potential Knicks-Spurs Finals matchup. They also talk about the future of 60 Minutes, Scott Pelley's role at the network, and the behavior of prominent left-leaning media personalities. Plus, Jimmy explains why he frequently uses the phrase "her girl" on the air.
