Summary

Mark provides the latest updates on the tragic killing of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother and widow, by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday. Mark interviews economist Steve Moore. They discuss the potential benefits of sourcing oil from Venezuela, exploring how this could lower fuel and oil prices in the U.S. The conversation also turns to Mayor Mamdani’s socialist housing proposal in New York City, questioning whether offering housing “first dibs” to nonprofits and select groups could disrupt the city’s real estate market. Public calls intensify for Governor Tim Walz to resign following recent incidents involving ICE, Somalia, and financial fraud in Minnesota. There are reports that Democratic Senators may launch a “Defund ICE” movement over ICE’s approach to deporting illegal immigrants. Mark interviews WOR weeknight host Jimmy Failla. They discuss President Trump’s strategy in capturing Nicolás Maduro, calling it highly effective. Modern late-night television, with hosts like Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel, potentially leaves viewers more discouraged than entertained.
