Summary

Today at 8 p.m. ET is President Trump’s deadline for Iran to reach a deal or face massive strikes on its power plants, bridges, and more. Trump has warned that “the entire country can be taken out in one night,” and Iran has reportedly shut down talks with mediating countries as the clock ticks down. Mark breaks down the remarkable rescue of both crew members of an F-15E Strike Eagle that was shot down over Iran, a complex, multi-day operation involving hundreds of special forces troops and dozens of aircraft. May 21st is the final night of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Beginning May 22nd, CBS will hand over the 11:35 p.m. time slot to Byron Allen’s comedy series Comics Unleashed. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews Fox News contributor Liz Peek. Liz believes the chances that President Trump will follow through on striking Iranian infrastructure tonight are high. Zohran Mamdani’s push to raise taxes on corporations and wealthy New Yorkers risks driving big business and high earners out of the city. Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger is pushing a redistricting referendum ahead of the April 21st vote, but her approval rating has cratered, and the effort is facing growing unpopularity, with early voting in Republican districts outpacing Democratic ones.
