Summary

Israel took out a major gas field yesterday, which is sending oil prices surging. Behind the scenes, President Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly had a significant disagreement and falling out. The U.S. played a pivotal role in supporting Israel by helping dismantle the country that has long been a source of terrorism and ongoing threats from Iran. The real reason former Director of the United States National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent resigned has come to light: he was allegedly under investigation for leaking classified information. Many Californians are expressing outrage at Vanity Fair over the way the magazine handled its hosting of the Oscars after-party. Mark interviews Boston radio host Howie Carr. How will Markwayne Mullin do in his new position as the DHS secretary? Mark and Howie discuss how Democrats often apply a double standard, particularly when it comes to targeting President Trump. They also weigh in on what Iran could look like three months from now and share their perspectives on where things are headed. Senator Markwayne Mullin and Senator Rand Paul clashed in a heated exchange during yesterday’s Senate hearing, with tensions boiling over after a personal moment between the two was brought up. The Iranian leadership was thinking about assassinating President Trump, and evidence suggests someone at the top levels of the regime had to sign off on it. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has changed local laws so that it is no longer a criminal offense if someone on an e-bike strikes a pedestrian, reversing a prior law that had been in place. A newly released study shows that approximately 54% of adults are drinking alcohol, a notable decline compared to previous years. Mark interviews WOR weeknight host Jimmy Failla. Mark and Jimmy highlight that Zohran Mamdani’s wife has been liking several posts that are critical of Israel and widely considered anti-Semitic. They also break down what the latest drop in Oscar ratings means for Hollywood’s cultural relevance. MSNBC’s primetime lineup is set for a major shakeup, and it remains to be seen whether that will help or hurt the network. Jill Biden has a new book on the way.
