Summary

Former mayor Rudy Giuliani was in a coma, a fact that wasn’t revealed until after his admission to the hospital for pneumonia on Sunday. Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay paid tribute to the late, great John Sterling while calling last night’s game. Fans at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx honored Sterling with a huge tribute. A UAE cutter may join the fight against Iran, depending on what happens with ships, drones, or missiles at the Strait of Hormuz. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says having the Strait blocked benefits the USA, but it’s crippling Iran’s economy to the point where they can’t pay their soldiers. Mark recaps last night’s Met Gala, noting how the event has changed over the years. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews NY Post columnist Michael Goodwin. Mark and Michael discuss how the US relationship with the British has shifted since King Charles visited Manhattan last week, and how this decline may reflect a broader trend across Europe. They also talk about rising American anxiety over the war in Iran and whether time is running out for regime change. The City of New York is struggling to pass the state budget, partly due to Mayor Mamdani’s promise to provide more free services to residents.
