Summary

Attorney and former Special Counsel for the U.S. Department of Justice Jack Smith is drawing scrutiny after a memo revealed that only six people were aware that President Trump had taken classified documents. The television industry continues to contract, with Stamford, Connecticut, feeling the impact particularly hard. NBC has announced the closure of its Stamford studio, a facility that once served as the home base for several major productions. In other news, The New York Times published a piece examining the growing trend of former Florida residents relocating back to New York City. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews author Ann Coulter. Ann praises ICE agents for their work at airports in managing immigration enforcement and maintaining public safety. Mark and Ann also raise the question of whether TSA pat-downs are still necessary, given that no major terrorist attack on the scale of 9/11 has occurred in decades. She also weighs in on Mayor Mamdani’s proposal to raise corporate taxes, arguing that the plan functions as a de facto tariff, agreeing with Mark that the cost will ultimately be passed down to consumers.
