Hour 1: LIRR strike.

from The Mark Simone Show · host iHeartRadio and Mark Simone

Governor Kathy Hochul has blamed the LIRR strike on President Trump, and Mark breaks down why. Should congestion pricing be suspended due to the LIRR strike? Hochul may also be using the strike to attack Republican candidate Bruce Blakeman, since he represents Long Island, an area where the strike is frustrating many voters. During President Trump’s visit, burner phones had to be used by him and other top CEOs because of China’s security systems. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has seized $500 million of Iran’s cryptocurrency assets over the past few days. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews NY Post columnist Michael Goodwin. Mike, a former New York Times staffer, shares his opinion on why the newspaper has become so anti-Semitic. Some of the top lawyers in the US are vowing to help Israel with its lawsuit against the New York Times, especially since the Times has been accused of playing the race card more frequently. Mark and Michael believe that no one should be surprised, since Mamdani preached anti-Semitic views before he became mayor.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
