Mark gives us an update on how the war with Iran is progressing, and things are going well, with the USA allegedly having taken out most of Iran’s military assets. He also highlights a specific target that, if struck, could devastate a major pillar of Iran’s economy. Legendary news anchor Ernie Anastos passed away at 82, leaving many grieving, including countless broadcasters across the industry. Mark shares his personal relationship with Ernie and reflects on many cherished memories. Mark interviews Roger Friedman from Showbiz 411. Roger shares his take on this weekend’s Oscar Awards. Barbra Streisand is set to speak about Robert Redford at the ceremony. Who could take home an Oscar this weekend? The parties following the Oscars may be scaling back due to financial constraints. When 17 homeless people tragically passed away after the winter storm in NYC, did Zohran Mamdani ever reckon with his role in that outcome? The Mayor recently signed a contract to house the homeless in hotels at a cost of roughly $2 billion, and there may be a deeper financial strategy at play. Meanwhile, the Sheriff in the Nancy Guthrie case has made a statement that is raising serious questions about whether he had any involvement in the disappearance of Savannah’s mother, Nancy. Mark interviews NY Post journalist Miranda Devine. Zohran Mamdani has been displaying behavior that suggests he is siding with terrorist regimes - most notably, visiting a shooter in the hospital who allegedly harbored terrorist intentions in NYC, rather than visiting the injured NYPD officer. What can New Yorkers expect over the next three years with him as Mayor? Miranda also previews what is coming up on her next podcast.
