Summary

Former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani is turning the corner slightly after being hospitalized with a serious bout of pneumonia. Sad news for Yankees fans, legendary announcer John Sterling has died at 87. Big shakeup in the skies: Spirit Airlines has completely shut down. Mark believes that Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren were major players in the behind-the-scenes drama that led to Spirit’s troubles. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews Fox News contributor Liz Peek. They talk about how Spirit Airlines might’ve been saved if the JetBlue merger had gone through, and Liz doesn’t hold back on her frustration with Mayor Mamdani; she says he’s not doing his homework, especially on the rent freeze affecting thousands of New Yorkers. Tensions are still sky-high in the Strait of Hormuz as the war between the US and Iran drags on. Word is Iran’s missile stockpile has only grown since fighting started back in February.
