FULL SHOW: Trump's name; Maine's elections.

Mark discusses recent court rulings from judges who have ordered President Trump’s name to be removed from the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. He also notes that Senator JD Vance, usually active on Twitter, has posted far less recently, possibly after a conversation with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles about his online presence. Mark highlights Donald Trump’s latest physical health report, which his physician described as “excellent” and showing he is in good health. Mark interviews New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin. Mark and Michael analyze how the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel became a major national talking point and exposed what they describe as antisemitic views from Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Proposals from Mamdani and some Democrats to rename the Ed Koch Bridge in New York, citing Koch’s handling of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. Michael Goodwin suggests there are plenty of issues for GOP candidate Bruce Blakeman to address in challenging Governor Kathy Hochul’s policies during the gubernatorial race in New York.  CBS has reported that “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” lost $40 million over the past year. Mark covers the controversy surrounding Democratic Maine gubernatorial candidate Graham Platner, who has a skull-and-crossbones tattoo that some say resembles Nazi SS symbolism, sparking debate about his fitness for office. Mark also previews the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will bring several matches to the Tri-State Area, generating excitement for foreigners, but what about New Yorkers?  Mark interviews restaurant critic Steve Cuozzo. Steve shares his thoughts on the viral DOT Cake trend on social media and discusses whether people could make their own versions. The conversation also touches on the rumored arrival of a new McLaren dealership on Madison Avenue, noting that luxury automakers continue to expand in Manhattan.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
