Summary

President Trump has nominated Todd Blanche to serve as attorney general, replacing Pam Bondi. Meanwhile, Ukraine continues expanding its domestic weapons production, including drones, as it prepares for the possibility of a prolonged conflict with Russia. Mark also explains how Ukrainian drones struck targets near St. Petersburg as President Putin's flagship economic forum got underway, which highlighted Ukraine's ability to project force deep inside Russian territory. Former Trump advisor John Bolton agrees to plead guilty to retaining classified information. The shakeup at 60 Minutes is one to watch. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews WOR weeknight host Jimmy Failla. They discuss whether Jill Biden's new book will be a sales success, Jimmy's optimism about the Knicks' championship chances, and the wild betting odds surrounding a potential Knicks-Spurs Finals matchup. They also talk about the future of 60 Minutes, Scott Pelley's role at the network, and the behavior of prominent left-leaning media personalities. Plus, Jimmy explains why he frequently uses the phrase "her girl" on the air.
