Show notes
Mark explains Iran's strategy of holding the USA hostage with high oil prices due to the ongoing fighting in the Middle East until the midterms are over. Mayor Mamdani has announced a new "Vision Zero Reimagined" plan for street safety in New York. Former President Obama may be responsible for shifting liberals' fear of AI. The Carnegie Deli had a huge opening-day success yesterday in Midtown Manhattan! Kathy Hochul's green energy policies and plans have raised New Yorkers' electric bills significantly! Republicans aren't great at hearings, but Dems are, and it could hurt the midterms. Kash Patel and Cory Booker clashed over crime numbers during a judiciary committee hearing. Nick Reiner, who murdered his parents, Rob Reiner and Michelle Reiner, may remain in prison forever for what he did, but the death penalty is most likely off the table for Nick.  Ever wonder why CNN has such low ratings? It could be due to how some of its hosts act, like Jake Tapper going fly fishing with Gavin Newsom. President Trump likes to put his name on a lot of things. Presidents over the years have a history of cursing, and Mark explains which presidents did it more or less. 60 Minutes went back to its old formula this past weekend, and it looks good! The Emmy ratings from the weekend are in, and Mark breaks them down. Mark interviews Breitbart Business News editor John Carney. John explains how a Fed rate hike helps with inflation in the USA. The Fed is widely expected to raise rates at today's meeting. What's next for oil prices as Brent Crude is over $100 a barrel?  More drama for Ed Sheeran after the promoter allegedly decided to boot Macklemore off the show for Macklemore's antisemitic comments, and now some of Macklemore's closest friends are backing off too. Closing the beaches and some other places during the pandemic may not have been the best idea by some politicians. Has Mitt Romney paid his taxes?  Mark interviews author Ann Coulter. Ann believes that President Trump should focus on political issues like the war in Iran and affordability rather than putting his name on things to help the GOP. Mark and Ann dive into how the EU runs differently politically. Ann isn't a big fan of FLOCK cameras.
