The Democrats continue to praise Kilmar Garcia not being a MS13 gang member. Mark Interviews NY Post Columnist Michael Goodwin. Michael and Mark respond to Gavin Newsome's speech about Democrats acting like sheep when President Trump does something. So far it looks like Letitia James will get Karma for her Mortgage fraud scandal. What is a Budtender? AG Letitia James has allegedly been busted for more documents the justice and legal system are finding about her. Andrew Cuomo is in the lead so far in the Mayoral Race. He has good name recognition. NYC is allegedly coming out with a new law that could ban the feds from shutting down congestion pricing. Mark Interviews CNBC Contributor Jake Novak.
