Summary

President Trump and Steve Witkoff are expressing strong confidence that Iran will accept a deal to end the conflict between the United States and Iran. The Senate has reached a DHS funding deal after Trump agreed to fund the TSA. ICE is not included in this package, which could raise concerns moving forward. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer arrived late to yesterday’s hearing on TSA funding, drawing frustration from many Republicans. Trump’s estate, Mar-a-Lago, has seen a significant increase in equity, and Mark breaks down the most valuable components of the property. Trump’s name is also likely to appear on U.S. paper currency in the future, and additional locations throughout Florida are considering renaming airports and streets in the President’s honor. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews Steve Forbes, Chairman of Forbes Media. He discusses the new technology being used in baseball to track balls and strikes, assisting umpires in making calls. Steve shares what he would tell President Trump if he called today and asked how things are going, and argues that the President should address the nation in detail about the war with Iran and lay out a clear strategy.
