FULL SHOW: There's a slowdown in alcohol consumption; Easing up on E-bikes.

Israel took out a major gas field yesterday, which is sending oil prices surging. Behind the scenes, President Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly had a significant disagreement and falling out. The U.S. played a pivotal role in supporting Israel by helping dismantle the country that has long been a source of terrorism and ongoing threats from Iran. The real reason former Director of the United States National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent resigned has come to light: he was allegedly under investigation for leaking classified information. Many Californians are expressing outrage at Vanity Fair over the way the magazine handled its hosting of the Oscars after-party. Mark interviews Boston radio host Howie Carr. How will Markwayne Mullin do in his new position as the DHS secretary? Mark and Howie discuss how Democrats often apply a double standard, particularly when it comes to targeting President Trump. They also weigh in on what Iran could look like three months from now and share their perspectives on where things are headed. Senator Markwayne Mullin and Senator Rand Paul clashed in a heated exchange during yesterday’s Senate hearing, with tensions boiling over after a personal moment between the two was brought up. The Iranian leadership was thinking about assassinating President Trump, and evidence suggests someone at the top levels of the regime had to sign off on it. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has changed local laws so that it is no longer a criminal offense if someone on an e-bike strikes a pedestrian, reversing a prior law that had been in place. A newly released study shows that approximately 54% of adults are drinking alcohol, a notable decline compared to previous years. Mark interviews WOR weeknight host Jimmy Failla. Mark and Jimmy highlight that Zohran Mamdani’s wife has been liking several posts that are critical of Israel and widely considered anti-Semitic. They also break down what the latest drop in Oscar ratings means for Hollywood’s cultural relevance. MSNBC’s primetime lineup is set for a major shakeup, and it remains to be seen whether that will help or hurt the network. Jill Biden has a new book on the way.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

FULL SHOW: Another tragedy in Iran; Watch your speed!

Military officer and former Speaker of the Parliament of Iran, Ali Larijani, was killed in the war against Iran yesterday. Former Director of the United States National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent has resigned from his position in response to President Trump’s actions against Iran, where he is allegedly upset that Israel has emerged as the primary beneficiary of the conflict. Meanwhile, reporters covering the Nancy Guthrie case have begun leaving Arizona, where she resided, and a petition has been launched to remove the sheriff who handled her case. Mark interviews Fox News contributor Liz Peek. Liz makes the case for why the Fed should seriously consider lowering interest rates, noting that current inflation numbers may not support maintaining the current rates. She also points out that very few voices on the right are pushing back on the SAVE Act, and argues that the best political strategy for Republicans is to advance legislation that roughly 80 percent of the country already supports, putting Democrats on the defensive. The SAVE Act has become a major flashpoint, driving Democrats to fury over its requirement that voters present certain forms of ID. In the New York City mayoral race, had Andrew Cuomo not entered the contest, Eric Adams would likely have secured the Democratic primary, but Zohran Mamdani ultimately claimed that spot instead. New York City is also moving forward with installing additional speed cameras, following the model of San Francisco, which has generated approximately $17 million annually from its own camera program. Mark interviews author Ann Coulter. A lineup change is underway at MSNBC. Some Democrats are framing the SAVE Act as voter suppression, particularly targeting immigrants, with certain members of the party suggesting that some racial groups lack access to proper identification. Ann and Mark also turn to what the airlines should do amid the ongoing DHS situation and the continued dysfunction in Congress.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

FULL SHOW: Another Iranian leader killed; The Dems are in the dumps.

Israel continued its strikes on top Iranian leaders overnight as the war against Iran presses on. With Iran’s leadership severely depleted, the Trump Administration suggests the conflict may have approximately two more weeks to run. Is Cuba next in line for a regime change? The island nation is currently experiencing widespread blackouts, with rioters taking to the streets in large numbers. Also on the domestic front: Should ICE agents wear masks while on duty? Border Czar Tom Homan is pushing to create a database to identify and dox the most destructive protesters, particularly as demonstrations have turned increasingly dangerous in certain areas. Mark interviews legendary DJ Scott Shannon. Scott shares his take on this year’s Oscars and reflects with Mark on the life and legacy of beloved broadcaster Ernie Anastos, who passed away last week. They also touch on a relatable challenge for morning show hosts: what do you lead with when not everyone has caught the same thing on TV? And in entertainment news, Judge Judy has announced her retirement, with her son set to take over the show. This year’s Oscars were notably less political than in recent years, and the ratings reflect a renewed audience interest, pulling in 15 million viewers. Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel’s contract is reportedly up in six months, raising questions about his future on late-night TV duties. MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle expressed outrage over the number of people found to have had Jeffrey Epstein’s phone number. On Capitol Hill, Democrats in Congress are polling at their lowest approval ratings on record. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O' Reilly. Bill is in Washington, D.C., for today’s St. Patrick’s Day festivities. O’Reilly notes that without access to the same intelligence reports as President Trump, assessing the timeline of the Iran conflict remains difficult. He also weighs in on the geopolitical implications of a potential Cuba takeover, suggesting it could cost Trump a shot at the Nobel Peace Prize. He also hints at a possible high-profile interview related to Iran that could be in the works. Finally, he predicts that if the Cuban regime falls, there is a strong likelihood that many Cuban exiles, particularly those settled in Florida, will return to the island.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

FULL SHOW: More info on the Ayatollah's son; Oscars recap.

According to multiple sources, the war in Iran is expected to last at least another three weeks. Allegations have surfaced that the ayatollah’s son may be gay - a significant detail given that being LGBTQ+ in Iran is criminally prohibited - and some suggest this could shed further light on the personalities and motivations of both the ayatollah and his son. On a lighter note, Conan O’Brien received widespread praise for his performance hosting last night’s Oscars, marking his second consecutive year leading the ceremony. Mark interviews New York Post journalist Michael Goodwin. Michael discusses media credibility in today’s landscape, specifically, what audiences can and cannot trust from major news outlets. The guys also touch on recent antisemitic attacks, including synagogue shootings in Minnesota and Georgia, and how those events are testing the standards and skills of modern journalism. Jewish leaders would like to meet with Mayor Mamdani to discuss their concerns, but the Mayor looked like he shrugged it off. When Stephen Colbert wraps up his final show, sources indicate there will be no formal send-off. Additionally, Access Hollywood has officially been cancelled by NBCUniversal. Mark also breaks down a newly identified category of emails found within the Epstein files. Could Iran be under a different regime within a matter of months? Mark weighs in. Mark interviews author Mark Malkoff. Both Marks make the case that Johnny Carson was the greatest Oscars host of all time. The conversation explores Carson’s personal struggles, including his well-documented battle with alcohol, and how he managed to maintain his professionalism and signature charm throughout his tenure on The Tonight Show. Malkoff also addresses whether Carson ever had a notable falling-out with anyone during his storied career. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

FULL SHOW: The war intensifies each day; This weekend's Academy Awards.

Mark gives us an update on how the war with Iran is progressing, and things are going well, with the USA allegedly having taken out most of Iran’s military assets. He also highlights a specific target that, if struck, could devastate a major pillar of Iran’s economy. Legendary news anchor Ernie Anastos passed away at 82, leaving many grieving, including countless broadcasters across the industry. Mark shares his personal relationship with Ernie and reflects on many cherished memories. Mark interviews Roger Friedman from Showbiz 411. Roger shares his take on this weekend’s Oscar Awards. Barbra Streisand is set to speak about Robert Redford at the ceremony. Who could take home an Oscar this weekend? The parties following the Oscars may be scaling back due to financial constraints. When 17 homeless people tragically passed away after the winter storm in NYC, did Zohran Mamdani ever reckon with his role in that outcome? The Mayor recently signed a contract to house the homeless in hotels at a cost of roughly $2 billion, and there may be a deeper financial strategy at play. Meanwhile, the Sheriff in the Nancy Guthrie case has made a statement that is raising serious questions about whether he had any involvement in the disappearance of Savannah’s mother, Nancy. Mark interviews NY Post journalist Miranda Devine. Zohran Mamdani has been displaying behavior that suggests he is siding with terrorist regimes - most notably, visiting a shooter in the hospital who allegedly harbored terrorist intentions in NYC, rather than visiting the injured NYPD officer. What can New Yorkers expect over the next three years with him as Mayor? Miranda also previews what is coming up on her next podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

FULL SHOW: Iran's actions; Gas prices.

Iran's new plans include possibly sending drones to the state of California to retaliate against the USA for destroying its regime and infrastructure. The new leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, may have had his leg allegedly blown off. Oil is poised to continue its climb after more oil ships were destroyed last night. More news comes out about Jeffrey Epstein, and certain doctors were mentioned in the Epstein files, including more young girls and more injuries. Mark interviews economist Steve Moore. Gas prices have risen even as U.S. oil production is strong, because oil is a global commodity. California has a high gas tax that adds to the price of gas. Why does the government have to run the airports? Getting rid of state income tax could benefit many states. Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is aiming to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed to continue to disrupt the oil supply. Iran is supposed to be dropping major bombs today and in the coming days. Conan O' Brien may be the most relevant person today who is the closest to how classic late-night TV was, like Johnny Carson. Mark interviews WOR weeknight host Jimmy Failla. Jimmy will be a host at the 2026 White House Correspondents' Dinner, and he is excited! Ozempic is a good drug to lose weight with; however, it could make your face look weaker over time. The new Aitolia put out a statement that the USA should be careful and watch out for itself, including keeping the Strait of Hormuz blocked. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
