Much of Europe still doesn’t have widespread air conditioning, which is making the current heat wave especially challenging, something the tri-state area is about to experience as well. CNN has reported that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s poll numbers are slipping, which is a worrying sign for both him and the Democratic Party. In Manhattan yesterday, celebrities gathered to honor legendary record producer Clive Davis at his funeral.  Mark interviews New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin. They discussed what the next two years might look like under Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Michael explained how Mamdani’s newly passed rent freeze could pose problems for landlords with empty apartments. Both agreed that voting patterns in New York City and other major cities are starting to shift. The Supreme Court just ruled that states have the right to ban transgender athletes from sports. In addition, President Trump’s attempt to overturn E. Jean Carroll’s sexual assault and defamation case was rejected. Another ruling permits Trump to fire heads of federal agencies. There’s also a billion-dollar mining deal in the works involving Trump and Howard Lutnick’s sons, drawing comparisons to Hunter Biden’s business activities. That situation could lead to hearings for Trump’s circle if Democrats win the midterms. Big changes are underway at MSNOW. Longtime weekend anchor Alex Witt is leaving as the network moves to put more podcasts on the weekend.  Mark interviews streaming host Bill O' Reilly. Bill recaps his latest podcast with Gene Simmons from KISS. He argued that parenting styles could cause a major shift in how Gen Z votes in the future. Bill also questioned whether media influence is partly to blame for more socialist and communist politicians gaining traction, observing that a bigger shift may be underway in American politics.
