A major winter storm is expected to hit the tri-state area this weekend, with the potential for significant snowfall. The Discussion follows on media coverage of the Trump Administration, including claims about overlooked accomplishments and skepticism surrounding recent political polling. Mark also covers immigration enforcement, highlighting a case involving a 5-year-old asylum seeker detained as ICE expands operations in Minnesota. Mark interviews Roger Friedman of Showbiz 411. Roger shares his thoughts on this year’s Oscar nominations, a new Frank Sinatra documentary streaming on Fox Nation, and the latest news from Broadway. Mark reviews which television shows have been renewed. He also covers news of former President Trump filing a $5 billion lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase, alleging his accounts were closed for political reasons. Mark interviews Steve Cuozzo, New York Post journalist. Steve joins Mark to discuss New York City’s bar and restaurant scene, the state of the real estate market, and how Trump Administration policies could impact commercial real estate.
