Summary

Mark talks about Bill Pulte, whom Trump wants as his new intel chief. Over at CBS News, Scott Pelley from 60 Minutes has been fired after some drama with the execs, and the show's ratings aren’t what they used to be. The White House Correspondents' Dinner is making a comeback and moving to a new spot. Also, Steve Hilton had a strong performance in the California Primary. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews Fox News contributor Liz Peek. She weighs in on whether Steve Hilton stands a real chance in the governor’s race. Meanwhile, Karen Bass is ahead of Steven Pratt for Mayor of Los Angeles. Liz questions what Karen Bass has actually done for California and is skeptical about the Democratic Party shifting back to the center.
