Mark recaps King Charles’ visit to New York City yesterday. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will remain on the board, while Kevin Warsh moves closer to confirmation. President Trump and James Comey are involved in a minor feud over Comey’s derogatory reference to a seashell marked “89,” with speculation about its meaning and its implications for Trump.

The guys discuss the recent spike in oil prices, which have climbed above $100 per barrel, and Steve offers insights on when consumers might expect relief at the gas pump and in global oil markets. Mark brings up the possibility of a revival of the TV show “The Apprentice,” explaining what he knows. He covers Pete Hegseth’s testimony on Capitol Hill regarding the conflict in Iran, describing the contentious exchanges between Hegseth and Democratic lawmakers. Mark also discusses criticism of Minnesota schools that were intended to serve Somali students, arguing that they have not met the expectations set by Governor Tim Walz and community leaders. Mark interviews WOR weeknight host Jimmy Failla. Jimmy describes the decor of the Oval Office and parts of the White House, likening it to a Cracker Barrel restaurant.
