Summary

Mark talks about how Democrats have tried to redraw voting districts in some states, which he says would make it harder for white voters to have a say. The Supreme Court of the United States also made headlines this week with a decision that scales back parts of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Governor Kathy Hochul is pushing a new law to ban ICE from operating anywhere in New York. With the governor’s race heating up, she’s also expected to go after some of Bruce Blakeman’s campaign points. Manhattan’s busiest Trader Joe’s, at 72nd and Broadway, is closing for renovations on May 17th. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews political consultant Roger Stone. Roger shares his side of the story after his legal battles connected to the Mueller investigation, discussing his experience after former FBI director James Comey accused him of lying under oath to Congress. Both Stone and Comey were charged with similar crimes of lying under oath. Tulsi Gabbard played a key role in declassifying documents that pointed to a conspiracy involving Comey, Obama, Biden, and others, which she was able to accomplish thanks to her appointment by President Trump in 2016.
