Could there be one more major U.S. strike against Iran before de-escalation takes hold? Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel mocked new DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin over his background as a plumber, but is that criticism fair for someone now serving in a top government role?

Steve and Mark break down where gas prices could be headed depending on how the conflict with Iran unfolds and what that means for the broader economy in the months ahead.

There is a growing perception that Republicans are responsible for the government shutdown, which is being blamed for major delays at airports - though that narrative may not tell the full story. Republicans are working to sharpen their strategy and gain the upper hand in the ongoing debate over DHS funding involving both sides. On the Democratic side, calls are growing for Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to step down, with Senator Chris Murphy emerging as a potential replacement. Meanwhile, the U.S. has entered into indirect negotiations with Iran through a third party, and the outcome remains uncertain. One possible resolution on the table involves a transit fee for passage through the Strait of Hormuz, which could play a key role in ending the conflict. Mark interviews Roger Friedman of Showbiz 411. The two discuss Savannah Guthrie’s emotional search for her missing mother and her upcoming return to the Today Show, where she gave her first major interview since the story broke. Roger also provides an update on Paul McCartney and his recent activities. On a positive note, Broadway ticket sales are up approximately $5 million - a significant jump from the previous week. Attorney and former Special Counsel for the U.S. Department of Justice Jack Smith is drawing scrutiny after a memo revealed that only six people were aware that President Trump had taken classified documents. The television industry continues to contract, with Stamford, Connecticut, feeling the impact particularly hard. NBC has announced the closure of its Stamford studio, a facility that once served as the home base for several major productions. In other news, The New York Times published a piece examining the growing trend of former Florida residents relocating back to New York City. Mark interviews author Ann Coulter. Ann praises ICE agents for their work at airports in managing immigration enforcement and maintaining public safety. Mark and Ann also raise the question of whether TSA pat-downs are still necessary, given that no major terrorist attack on the scale of 9/11 has occurred in decades. She also weighs in on Mayor Mamdani’s proposal to raise corporate taxes, arguing that the plan functions as a de facto tariff, agreeing with Mark that the cost will ultimately be passed down to consumers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ron in Pittsburgh calls in with an intriguing idea surrounding wind energy. As the U.S. moves away from wind power, Ron suggests that the shift could create an unexpected opportunity for Cuba, potentially benefiting the island nation as the global energy landscape continues to evolve. Paul in White Plains calls in to raise an important question: if the U.S. agrees to pay Iran a fee for ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, does that amount to legitimizing or emboldening the Iranian regime? Paul wonders whether such a payment could be perceived as a form of international validation for Iran. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A black box has been recovered from the deadly runway crash at LaGuardia Airport aboard an Air Canada flight that crashed, and the black box is being driven to Washington, D.C. Talks between Iran and the United States are being conducted through a third-party intermediary in the Middle East, relaying communications between both sides. ICE agents have been deployed at airports across the country, providing significant support - particularly with gate security alongside TSA. Democrats have been vocal in their opposition to the agents’ presence at airports, a reaction that many feel is making them look out of touch. Mark interviews Fox News contributor Liz Peek. Republicans, along with Democrats, are refusing to fund DHS, resulting in unusually long lines at airports nationwide. Could privately run TSA operations be the solution? The conversation also turns to the New York mayoral race - had Andrew Cuomo dropped out earlier, the outcome could have looked very different, as his presence is seen as a key factor in certain candidates’ losses. President Trump continues to face criticism over a Truth Social post in which he expressed satisfaction over the passing of Robert Mueller. Mark also shifts the talk to windmills and their limited impact on the environment. OnlyFans owner Leonid Radvinsky has passed away following a battle with cancer. Bill Cosby has lost a sex assault lawsuit and is now facing a $59 million judgment. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O’Reilly. What was the imminent threat posed by Iran to the United States? Bill breaks it down and also discusses a revealing interview he conducted with Lindsey Graham that shed light on the reasoning behind discussions of a potential military strike. The two also touch on a growing trend in how hosts are designing and displaying their on-air sets, and reflect on the rising popularity of longer-form podcast interviews.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LaGuardia Airport in New York remains closed until further notice after two pilots were killed and 41 passengers were injured when an Air Canada plane struck a fire truck on the tarmac. ICE agents are reportedly being deployed to TSA checkpoints at airports to assist with security screening, including identifying illegal immigrants. President Trump announced that productive talks with Tehran’s government have taken place over the past day, sparking a rally on Wall Street and a sharp drop in oil prices. Mark interviews New York Post journalist Michael Goodwin. Michael argues that Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman will need support from Zohran Mamdani’s base to have a viable path to the governor’s seat and breaks down the logic behind that strategy. Democratic politicians have pushed back on President Trump’s decision to send ICE agents to airports, warning it could create additional chaos and disruption. Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut has been particularly vocal in his opposition, calling the move a political play by Republicans and the Trump administration. President Trump posted a controversial tweet following the passing of former FBI Director Robert Mueller, who led the Russia-Trump campaign investigation, at the age of 81. A new Christopher Columbus statue was unveiled near the White House, in part using remnants of a previously removed statue. Zohran Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, is facing increased scrutiny over her artwork and social media activity, which has drawn criticism amid concerns over anti-Israel sentiment. Mark interviews Republican candidate for NY Governor Bruce Blakeman. The key to bringing people back to New York is cutting taxes - not raising them. Both Zohran Mamdani and Governor Kathy Hochul are pushing for higher taxes in the state. Viewers are cautioned to approach current polling with skepticism, as much of it is being conducted by far-left-leaning colleges and universities. Governor Hochul has come under fire for spending a significant amount of taxpayer money on illegal immigrants.
