Show notes

The jobs report has come out, and it’s a good one. President Trump was asked about “No Kings” and delivered a notable comeback. Mark also looks at the future of the U.S.-NATO relationship, and new details emerge about AG Pam Bondi, following her firing, about whether she was doing enough to satisfy Trump. Mark interviews political strategist Ed Rollins. Ed weighs in on President Trump’s Tuesday evening address to the nation on the war in Iran, calling the speech underwhelming and light on new details. Mark gets Ed’s take on how Trump should bring the conflict to a close. Ed sees boots on the ground as a real possibility, but warns that American casualties could have serious consequences for the President heading into the midterms. Iran has reportedly shot down a U.S. fighter jet, leaving the pilot missing, and Iran is allegedly offering a substantial reward for his capture. Back home, the funding of the President’s ballroom by corporate donors remains under scrutiny. On a brighter note, crime numbers in New York City are trending down. Meanwhile, Council Speaker Julie Menin is emerging as a formidable challenger to Zohran Mamdani in the race for mayor, with sharp disagreements over the city’s budget. Mark speaks with restaurant critic Steve Cuozzo about the state of New York City’s dining scene. Are the sheds coming back to the sidewalks? Some restaurants and places go viral and end up with tons of business. However, those effects may fade. Steve also shares his thoughts on Miami’s food scene, giving it a solid, if not glowing, review.

FULL SHOW: President Trump's speech on Iran; Pam Bondi is in trouble. Apr 02, 2026

Show notes

Mark recaps President Trump's speech last night regarding the war in Iran, which will continue, according to the President; however, depending on the force against Iran, it may end sooner. Once oil prices drop back down, which is expected soon, gas prices will also drop. The Strait of Hormuz is expected to open freely without pressure. AG Pam Bondi is on the hot seat right now and could be removed by President Trump due to her handling of the Epstein files. Her replacement is Lee Zeldin if that decision is made. Mark interviews economist Steve Moore. Steve thinks gas prices will go down to around $3 per gallon once the Strait of Hormuz is opened more freely, allowing more ships to pass through. Oil is a globally traded commodity that affects gas prices. Does Wall Street overreact to news too intensely? Mark and Steve talk about what a fair share of wealthy individuals should pay. Coming to America so you can have a child, and your chance of becoming a United States citizen is normally high, but this is getting challenged in Supreme Court hearings after Presidnet Trump's administration is taking a deeper look at birthright citizenship rights in the USA. Donald Trump took shots at Bruce Springsteen after he was seen at a "No Kings" protest over the weekend, going against Trump and his policies. Watch out when you use Wikipedia; it may be influenced by left-wing ideology. In addition, AI may be getting most of its info from Wikipedia. Mark interviews WOR weeknight host Jimmy Failla. What was the point of the "No Kings" protest? It may have been a therapy season for TDS individuals. The Democratic Party is very good at coming up with simple attack lines for people who have trouble doing critical thinking for themselves. Jimmy and Mark talk about Trump's comments about singer Bruce Springsteen, and money is most likely involved.
