Summary

President Trump was reportedly furious on a phone call after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu authorized further strikes on Lebanon. This escalation may have jeopardized a potential ceasefire between Iran and the United States that was seen as a step toward a peace agreement. The big question: Who leaked the private call between Netanyahu and Trump? There’s speculation it could have been released intentionally by Trump to sway public opinion. New information is emerging about Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, with Mark sharing more insider details. Meanwhile, the Biden family's finances are reportedly under pressure, with former First Lady Jill Biden possibly promoting her book to help raise funds. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews Steve Forbes, chairman of Forbes Media. Steve and Mark discuss Zohran Mamdani’s policies and their impact on New York City’s economy, expressing concern that Mamdani’s approach as mayor is focused on control and could hurt the city’s finances. They also note Mamdani’s creative social media strategies, which proved highly effective for his own campaign and may have inspired other candidates in California’s governor’s race. Iran, during the ceasefire, has reportedly been rebuilding its military capabilities, especially its missile stockpiles.
