Summary

Today, we received an update on the ongoing conflict in Iran (Operation Epic Fury). Iran’s missile-launching capabilities have been significantly diminished, and the Department of War’s offensive operations continue to target Iran’s weapons, bases, and leadership. Former President Biden was unable to enlist in the military due to an asthma diagnosis. Additionally, Democrat Jasmine Crockett lost the Texas primary last night to fellow Democrat James Talarico. Mark interviews the Chairman of Forbes Media, Steve Forbes. Together, they analyze Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s criticism of Trump’s decision to attack Iran, which Schumer refers to as “Trump’s Endless War.” Steve Forbes also discusses the contrast between NYC’s and Florida’s budgets and politics, noting that the recent spike in gas prices should be temporary. Questions have emerged about the tenure of U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, who is facing criticism for reportedly spending over $200 million on self-promotional ads ahead of the midterm elections - even though President Trump may have approved the expenditure. Many restaurants are launching Ozempic-themed menus, while bakeries are seeing a downturn in business as more customers use Ozempic and reduce their portion sizes. As a result, businesses may need to lower prices to attract and retain customers. Mark interviews Journalist Steve Cuozzo. New York City is experiencing a surge in real estate investment, with companies expanding and more vacant offices being filled. There is a growing demand for new restaurants, especially those offering vegan and specialty foods. Steakhouses also remain a popular dining choice for Manhattan residents and visitors.
