Summary

A government shutdown is underway now. Is Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to blame for this? Mark interviews NY Post columnist Michael Goodwin. Michael recently interviewed Mayor Eric Adams, where the mayor issued a warning to New Yorkers if Zohran Mamdani wins the mayoral race. Will Andrew Cuomo be damaged by Mamdani and Curtis Sliwa, who are both good debaters, in this month's first mayoral debate? Andrew Cuomo is warning that the government will come in and take over NYC if Zohran Mamdani wins the mayoral race. Tourism is down 50- percent in Los Angeles due to crime. Mark interviews best-selling author Ann Coulter. More than 150,000 federal employees won't get paid immediately during the government shutdown. Ann and Mark recap Pete Hegseth's address to military generals yesterday.
