Ron in Pittsburgh calls in with an intriguing idea surrounding wind energy. As the U.S. moves away from wind power, Ron suggests that the shift could create an unexpected opportunity for Cuba, potentially benefiting the island nation as the global energy landscape continues to evolve. Paul in White Plains calls in to raise an important question: if the U.S. agrees to pay Iran a fee for ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, does that amount to legitimizing or emboldening the Iranian regime? Paul wonders whether such a payment could be perceived as a form of international validation for Iran.

There is a growing perception that Republicans are responsible for the government shutdown, which is being blamed for major delays at airports - though that narrative may not tell the full story. Republicans are working to sharpen their strategy and gain the upper hand in the ongoing debate over DHS funding involving both sides. On the Democratic side, calls are growing for Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to step down, with Senator Chris Murphy emerging as a potential replacement. Meanwhile, the U.S. has entered into indirect negotiations with Iran through a third party, and the outcome remains uncertain. One possible resolution on the table involves a transit fee for passage through the Strait of Hormuz, which could play a key role in ending the conflict.

FULL SHOW: Confusion with the Middle East; Update on CNN'S network. Mar 24, 2026

Show notes

A black box has been recovered from the deadly runway crash at LaGuardia Airport aboard an Air Canada flight that crashed, and the black box is being driven to Washington, D.C. Talks between Iran and the United States are being conducted through a third-party intermediary in the Middle East, relaying communications between both sides. ICE agents have been deployed at airports across the country, providing significant support - particularly with gate security alongside TSA. Democrats have been vocal in their opposition to the agents’ presence at airports, a reaction that many feel is making them look out of touch. Mark interviews Fox News contributor Liz Peek. Republicans, along with Democrats, are refusing to fund DHS, resulting in unusually long lines at airports nationwide. Could privately run TSA operations be the solution? The conversation also turns to the New York mayoral race - had Andrew Cuomo dropped out earlier, the outcome could have looked very different, as his presence is seen as a key factor in certain candidates’ losses. President Trump continues to face criticism over a Truth Social post in which he expressed satisfaction over the passing of Robert Mueller. Mark also shifts the talk to windmills and their limited impact on the environment. OnlyFans owner Leonid Radvinsky has passed away following a battle with cancer. Bill Cosby has lost a sex assault lawsuit and is now facing a $59 million judgment. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O’Reilly. What was the imminent threat posed by Iran to the United States? Bill breaks it down and also discusses a revealing interview he conducted with Lindsey Graham that shed light on the reasoning behind discussions of a potential military strike. The two also touch on a growing trend in how hosts are designing and displaying their on-air sets, and reflect on the rising popularity of longer-form podcast interviews.
