Mark has intriguing insights to share about the benefits of eating foods containing pumpkin. Meanwhile, a recent discovery in New York City, twenty-four years after the events of 9/11, has brought to light boxes containing detailed records of the air quality at the time. These findings raise new concerns regarding the transparency of political officials who were in charge of the city during that period, especially as more citizens and first responders have reported long-term health issues linked to exposure to the toxic smoke from the collapsing buildings. The revelation of these records may further erode public trust in those officials. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews former Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa. Curtis shares his firsthand observations of rising crime across New York City’s boroughs. Sliwa expresses concern about the visible spike in criminal activity, especially after midnight when fewer NYPD officers are on duty, increasing the city’s vulnerability. Also, Andrew Cuomo’s political future, with speculation about whether the former governor plans to remain active in the political arena or seek future office, looks strong.
