Summary

Could there be one more major U.S. strike against Iran before de-escalation takes hold? Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel mocked new DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin over his background as a plumber, but is that criticism fair for someone now serving in a top government role? Are Democrats positioning themselves to flip Florida, following a major Democratic win in a prominent red city? Mark interviews economist Steve Moore. Steve and Mark break down where gas prices could be headed depending on how the conflict with Iran unfolds and what that means for the broader economy in the months ahead. They also delve into Zohran Mamdani’s tax-the-wealthy plan, which, it turns out, would also affect the middle class. Steve also weighs in on TSA funding and how airports are holding up. AG Letitia James is facing new charges, this time for alleged insurance fraud. Nicolas Maduro is appearing in court today and is apparently going to claim he has no money to fund his own legal defense. A deeply troubling story out of Chicago: a young girl was shot and killed after midnight by an illegal migrant from Venezuela, sparking outrage over immigration enforcement failures. The response has been divided; some schools are defending the suspect, while others are not. Meanwhile, The Washington Post continues its steep decline, with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos stepping in to try to fix the chaos. Mark interviews WOR weeknight host Jimmy Failla. Jimmy shares a memorable visit to Patsy’s, Frank Sinatra’s favorite restaurant in New York City, and the experience did not disappoint. The guys also turn to Jimmy Kimmel’s recent jabs at Markwayne Mullin over his plumbing background, and why that kind of mockery says more about Kimmel’s limitations as a late-night comedian than it does about Mullin.
