FULL SHOW: Is Kathy Hochul being sneaky? The Atlantic is in trouble.

Mixed signals are emerging between the USA and Iran, but why does the U.S. say the war is over while other reports suggest otherwise? Mark breaks down the reasoning behind the conflicting messages, which partly involves a key guard figure. He also notes that the USA is not dependent on oil from the Strait of Hormuz. Mayor Mamdani appeared on NBC’s Meet the Press, where NBC gave him a notably favorable reception. Mamdani also commented on billionaires who are generating significant amounts of money. Mark interviews New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin. Kathy Hochul appears uneasy heading into the upcoming NYC gubernatorial race, as residents continue leaving the city due to rising costs. Hochul may be aligning herself closely with Mamdani to leverage his strong following for votes. NYC requires substantial funding to support its unions, and unions, in turn, support the democratic party. As for the Iran ceasefire, will it hold? The odds are roughly 50/50, with the Iranians sensing that Trump may be willing to back down. Billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk have paid enormous sums in taxes, yet Socialists like Mamdani continue to argue it is not enough. Zohran Mamdani’s speaking style is drawing attention as a reflection of Gen Z’s political voice, fast-paced, polished, and articulate. Several mainstream media outlets, including the New York Times and The Atlantic, have allegedly published fabricated stories about FBI Director Kash Patel having a drinking problem, prompting him to pursue legal action against them. Lindsey Boylan, currently running for City Council, is a staunch Democrat. Mark interviews Fox Business analyst Charlie Gasparino. Charlie shares his perspective on Zohran Mamdani’s stance that there shouldn’t be billionaires and explains the behind-the-scenes economic value that billionaires provide. On a lighter note, ever since Mamdani hugged Mr. Met, the Mets have lost 11 games in a row. Coincidence? Bruce Blakeman could be a viable contender in the NYC gubernatorial race, though it is expected to be a tight contest.
