Summary

According to multiple sources, the war in Iran is expected to last at least another three weeks. Allegations have surfaced that the ayatollah’s son may be gay - a significant detail given that being LGBTQ+ in Iran is criminally prohibited - and some suggest this could shed further light on the personalities and motivations of both the ayatollah and his son. On a lighter note, Conan O’Brien received widespread praise for his performance hosting last night’s Oscars, marking his second consecutive year leading the ceremony. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews New York Post journalist Michael Goodwin. Michael discusses media credibility in today’s landscape, specifically, what audiences can and cannot trust from major news outlets. The guys also touch on recent antisemitic attacks, including synagogue shootings in Minnesota and Georgia, and how those events are testing the standards and skills of modern journalism. Jewish leaders would like to meet with Mayor Mamdani to discuss their concerns, but the Mayor looked like he shrugged it off.
