Summary

Democrats appear to be siding with the Iranians, intensifying political divisions in the USA. Barack and Michelle Obama have signed multiple media deals in recent years and, while not currently working with Netflix, are expanding their independent media company, Higher Ground Productions. CBS may have felt pressure from anchor Gayle King about her contract, who reportedly has a difficult reputation. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews streaming host Bill O'Reilly. Bill shares his outlook on whether the war could end within six months. He describes the Iranians as unpredictable and emphasizes uranium enrichment as the central issue in negotiations with the USA and President Trump. President Trump’s dispute with Pope Leo has led some citizens to urge a softer approach. President Trump is also scheduled to attend and speak at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner for the first time as President.
