Summary

Mark recaps King Charles’ visit to New York City yesterday. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will remain on the board, while Kevin Warsh moves closer to confirmation. President Trump and James Comey are involved in a minor feud over Comey’s derogatory reference to a seashell marked “89,” with speculation about its meaning and its implications for Trump. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews economist Steve Moore. Steve shares his firsthand account of a shooting incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. He expresses concern about the security at the event. The guys discuss the recent spike in oil prices, which have climbed above $100 per barrel, and Steve offers insights on when consumers might expect relief at the gas pump and in global oil markets.
