Summary

Mark recaps President Trump's speech last night regarding the war in Iran, which will continue, according to the President; however, depending on the force against Iran, it may end sooner. Once oil prices drop back down, which is expected soon, gas prices will also drop. The Strait of Hormuz is expected to open freely without pressure. AG Pam Bondi is on the hot seat right now and could be removed by President Trump due to her handling of the Epstein files. Her replacement is Lee Zeldin if that decision is made. Mark interviews economist Steve Moore. Steve thinks gas prices will go down to around $3 per gallon once the Strait of Hormuz is opened more freely, allowing more ships to pass through. Oil is a globally traded commodity that affects gas prices. Does Wall Street overreact to news too intensely? Mark and Steve talk about what a fair share of wealthy individuals should pay. Coming to America so you can have a child, and your chance of becoming a United States citizen is normally high, but this is getting challenged in Supreme Court hearings after Presidnet Trump's administration is taking a deeper look at birthright citizenship rights in the USA. Donald Trump took shots at Bruce Springsteen after he was seen at a "No Kings" protest over the weekend, going against Trump and his policies. Watch out when you use Wikipedia; it may be influenced by left-wing ideology. In addition, AI may be getting most of its info from Wikipedia. Mark interviews WOR weeknight host Jimmy Failla. What was the point of the "No Kings" protest? It may have been a therapy season for TDS individuals. The Democratic Party is very good at coming up with simple attack lines for people who have trouble doing critical thinking for themselves. Jimmy and Mark talk about Trump's comments about singer Bruce Springsteen, and money is most likely involved.
