Joe reacts to the economic fallout of NYC Mayor Mamdani's second home tax proposal, which is sending major businesses packing for Texas and Miami. He shifts focus to Florida’s primary results, dissecting "socialist" Angie Nixon’s controversial drag show comments, and exposes the questionable math and legality of LA Mayor Karen Bass’s campaign match program. Joe also critiques South Carolina Senate hopeful Darlene Graham’s viral foreign policy blunder, analyzes Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear's "big tent" defense of progressive platforms, and compares Iran’s geopolitical stall tactics to boxer Tony Tucker surviving Mike Tyson. Finally, the show honors Bill Clinton's 80th birthday with a classic SNL throwback, features Mike Pence's take on political extremes during the "Cat's Corner" segment and closes with WNBA talk about WNBA "villains" Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham.
