FULL SHOW: Rudy Giuliani's health; Spirit Airlines has shut down.

from The Mark Simone Show · host iHeartRadio and Mark Simone

Former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani is turning the corner slightly after being hospitalized with a serious bout of pneumonia. Sad news for Yankees fans, legendary announcer John Sterling has died at 87. Big shakeup in the skies: Spirit Airlines has completely shut down. Mark believes that Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren were major players in the behind-the-scenes drama that led to Spirit’s troubles. Mark interviews Fox News contributor Liz Peek. They talk about how Spirit Airlines might’ve been saved if the JetBlue merger had gone through, and Liz doesn’t hold back on her frustration with Mayor Mamdani; she says he’s not doing his homework, especially on the rent freeze affecting thousands of New Yorkers. Tensions are still sky-high in the Strait of Hormuz as the war between the US and Iran drags on. Word is Iran’s missile stockpile has only grown since fighting started back in February. Over the weekend, Devil Wears Prada 2 pulled in around $78 million at the box office. No surprise, the buzz for this movie is huge right now! Mark shares some insider scoop on Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, what really goes on behind the scenes, and let’s just say, there’s some hypocrisy you’ll want to hear about. We also get an update on assassin Cole Allen’s motives for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting. And in breaking news, Iran has reportedly shot down a US ship in the Strait of Hormuz. Mark interviews author Ann Coulter. Mark interviews author Ann Coulter. They dive into Mayor Mamdani’s latest plan to add more land on Park Avenue—a move that’s got a lot of people worried about even worse traffic, despite the mayor’s belief that making the area a bigger hotspot is good for the city. Ann also warns that a wealth tax could be on the horizon and says Mamdani’s second year in office will be one to watch. Plus, she makes the case that cutting TSA funding could save the government billions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
