Summary

The media continues to push the narrative that there was no clear plan in the conflict with Iran, but the Trump administration strongly disagrees and has defended its strategy. The president is still being pressed aggressively by reporters, including a questionable line of questioning yesterday about nuclear weapons that seemed more provocative than informative. Meanwhile, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and President Trump are clashing over ICE funding, with Trump rejecting Schumer’s criticism and doubling down on enforcement. And yes, the $45 smoothie trend is real, and Mark breaks down why people are actually paying for it. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews Journalist Steve Cuozzo. He weighs in on Mamdani’s $30 million government-run grocery store proposal, which critics see as costly and unrealistic. Steve also highlights the rapid rise of West Palm Beach, Florida—a booming hotspot attracting businesses and residents away from places like Manhattan. With its pro-business climate, modern development, and growing energy, South Florida is positioning itself as a serious competitor to traditional urban centers.
