Summary

The LIRR strike has ended, though some traffic delays remain. Most trains are expected to resume service today. On MSNOW’s Morning Joe, Dell’s stock was reported as likely to increase in value; some hosts speculated about possible connections to President Trump, but there is no direct evidence supporting these claims. President Trump announced the creation of an Anti-Weaponization Fund to support January 6th defendants who experienced financial losses following prosecution. The fund may also assist lawyers and political figures involved in the cases. Recently, Trump withdrew a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS concerning the handling of his tax returns. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer commented on the fund during recent remarks. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews Roger Friedman from Showbiz411. Roger discusses a film recommendation for Memorial Day weekend. The Michael Jackson movie will soon be released in Japan and remains at the top of the box office. Chris Christie attended Bruce Springsteen’s concert at Madison Square Garden, which came after rumors of them clashing about politics. Mark Fuhrman, a detective from the O.J. Simpson case, has passed away; Roger Friedman shares his perspective on Fuhrman.
