Mark dives into the Canadian wildfires and the smoke affecting much of the East Coast. He discusses President Trump's frustration with how Canada has handled the wildfires and his suggestion that tariffs could be used in response. Mark also talks about Zohran Mamdani's latest comments about going after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and what they could mean. The economic impact of the 2026 FIFA World Cup was largely positive, and he comments on the difference in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's accent when speaking in Southern states compared to New York. Mark interviews New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin. Michael says Mamdani's comments about arresting Netanyahu could be a political stunt to energize his supporters. They also discuss Vice President JD Vance facing criticism over comments he made about Israel during his appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast. The guys speak about the future of the Democratic Party and whether Sen. John Fetterman could help change its direction after calling Mamdani a "clown" over his push to arrest Netanyahu if he came to New York City. Mark discusses Iran's threats against President Trump and his family. He also talks about comedian Bill Maher criticizing NPR, calling the outlet "far left" after a recent interview. President Trump is considering a subscription service that would allow users to pay $100,000 a month for early access to his posts on Truth Social before they are made public. Mark also discusses plans for a new Amazon facility on Long Island. Mark interviews National Review columnist John Fund. They discuss British politician Nigel Farage and whether his socialist political style could influence U.S. politics. They also talk about the Democratic Party's shift toward more socialist policies. Fund says elections are becoming more secure and argues that President Trump should sign an executive order eliminating capital gains taxes on the increased value of a primary home when it is sold.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
