Summary

LaGuardia Airport in New York remains closed until further notice after two pilots were killed and 41 passengers were injured when an Air Canada plane struck a fire truck on the tarmac. ICE agents are reportedly being deployed to TSA checkpoints at airports to assist with security screening, including identifying illegal immigrants. President Trump announced that productive talks with Tehran’s government have taken place over the past day, sparking a rally on Wall Street and a sharp drop in oil prices. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews New York Post journalist Michael Goodwin. Michael argues that Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman will need support from Zohran Mamdani’s base to have a viable path to the governor’s seat and breaks down the logic behind that strategy. Democratic politicians have pushed back on President Trump’s decision to send ICE agents to airports, warning it could create additional chaos and disruption. Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut has been particularly vocal in his opposition, calling the move a political play by Republicans and the Trump administration.
