Summary

Today is the meeting in the Oval Office between Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and President Trump. Mark breaks down how the meeting could go really well, or really badly. Mark interviews TV personality Rhonda Shear. "Up All Night with Rhonda Shear." With Thanksgiving approaching, a new show is preparing a special holiday episode. Meanwhile, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is being highlighted for her distinctive style. She is often seen wearing designer clothes and fashionable wigs both during her television appearances and while working in the House of Representatives chamber. Some members of Congress are criticizing President Trump after he claimed that Democratic lawmakers who urged the military to disobey illegal orders were engaging in “seditious behavior,” which he said could be punishable by death. Why did CBS cancel the TV drama Blue Bloods? Mark interviews NY Post Columnist Steve Cuozzo. Steve talks about the transformation of the former American Embassy in London into The Chancery, a stunning high-end hotel. Steve shares insights on how rooftops are creatively utilized in some Manhattan office buildings. They also discuss how commercial real estate in NYC generates enormous revenue for the city's economy.
