Summary

The Obama administration implemented a large-scale deportation strategy, similar to current ICE deportations under the Trump administration. CBS News is facing criticism from left-leaning citizens for its attempt to appear more centrist, particularly regarding sensitive ICE raid coverage. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews economist Steve Moore. Steve discusses the ongoing labor shortage and expresses concerns about President Trump’s proposal to cap credit card interest rates at 10%, suggesting it could reduce available credit options for consumers.
