Summary

Mark breaks down President Trump’s latest comments on the war in Iran. He also discusses reports that the planned ballroom project could cost nearly $1 billion instead of the original $400 million estimate because of additional upgrades and improvements. Questions continue surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s death after a 2019 note resurfaced and sparked new debate over whether he was killed or died by suicide. Mark also talks about violent protesters clashing with the NYPD outside a Manhattan synagogue and criticizes Zohran Mamdani for not speaking out. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews economist Steve Moore. They discuss New York City’s budget framework and the likelihood of it finally passing after nine attempts. Steve explains why he believes Democrats often ignore economic fundamentals and policy data. They also talk about billionaires potentially pushing back against Mayor Mamdani’s proposed taxes on the wealthy after Mamdani targeted billionaire Ken Griffin in a recent video. The guys also discuss the growing importance of data centers in the U.S. and around the world for the future of technology and business.
