Summary

Former Prince Andrew has been arrested over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Mark explains that this arrest highlights Prince Andrew's strategy of passing information worldwide. More details are emerging about how the search for Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy, is progressing. Expanded internet information may help move the case forward. Zohran Mamdani's last-resort plans for New York City’s budget could potentially drive many residents out of the city. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews columnist Liz Peek. Was Jeffrey Epstein operating as a massive blackmailer? Democrats are considering holding their own State of the Union-style address next week to counter the Trump administration’s official address and criticize Donald Trump’s assessment of the country.
