Hour 1: Back off, Mamdani.

from The Mark Simone Show Hosted by iHeartRadio and Mark Simone

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is sticking to his promise to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. Donald Trump fired back, saying no one is going to arrest Netanyahu. BEBE himself also responded to Mamdani. Mark explains that if Mamdani actually tried to arrest Netanyahu, he could face legal trouble himself. Mark also points out that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez using a Southern accent when campaigning is normal; many politicians do this, especially those who have run campaigns in the South, so it’s not unusual. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews Boston radio host Howie Carr. They try to make sense of Senator Susan Collins’ argument against Maine voters. Howie suggests Collins might be suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” Former Maine senator Troy Jackson is expected to run against Collins, and Howie says both have Democratic-leaning views, which he thinks aren’t good for Maine. They two also discuss the latest in Maine politics, including Graham Plattner dropping out of the race. The question comes from Mark: should the voting age be raised to 40 to keep younger politicians like Mamdani out of office?
