Summary

President Trump says Iran’s latest offer is a no-go, and he’s off to China this week to meet with their leaders. Are we any closer to answers? Mark weighs in on the Pentagon’s recent release of UFO files. Meanwhile, State Troopers have started dressing up as construction workers to catch speeders in work zones. Mark explains what’s going on and what drivers can do if this crackdown doesn’t pan out. There’s also sad news about a tragic plane landing that ended in a man’s death. Mark interviews New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin. They talk about why Zohran Mamdani’s plan to hike taxes on billionaires could hurt New York City, and Mark asks the big question: could New Yorkers really handle four years under a Mayor Mamdani and his socialist agenda? Kathy Hochul looks like the frontrunner for governor, but that could still change. And is AOC eyeing a bigger role, maybe even a run for president?  College graduation speeches are getting political, and it’s causing some real drama. A University of Michigan professor made pro-Palestine remarks during a commencement, fueling debate over what’s fair game at these events. Mark talks about how parents have fought to get graduation photos of their kids, especially since they’re footing the bill for college. There’s also an update on the recent cruise ship Hantavirus outbreak: those affected are now in quarantine. Plus, it’s been 100 days since Nancy Guthrie disappeared. Mark interviews journalist Emma Jo Morris. Emma tells the story of how she helped expose the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, and how Steve Bannon played a part in bringing her reporting to light. She shares what she found on the laptop and how it all unfolded.
