Summary

VP JD Vance is heading to Pakistan for talks with Iranian officials, though it remains unclear whether Iran will participate. Why did Melania Trump hold a surprise press conference yesterday, addressing the Jeffrey Epstein files and her connection to them? Mark thinks he has the answer. Kamala Harris is scheduled to speak today at Al Sharpton’s convention at the Sheraton in New York City, with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro also in attendance. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews John Carney, Business Editor at Breitbart News. The latest CPI numbers are in; some figures ticked up, but Carney argues it isn’t as dire as it appears. Gas prices could fall further depending on the outcome of ongoing ceasefire talks. Japan relies heavily on oil transported through the Strait of Hormuz, and oil companies stand to gain significantly from rising prices. John also makes the case that the Trump tax cuts are poised to spark a major economic boom.
